1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Owner Comments

My wife was driving the Jeep one day when the air conditioner stopped working. After further adjusting the system, she concluded something must be wrong with the fan, as the heat would not work either. When I took it to oak hill automotive, it turned out that the blower module had melted; when the blower module melted, it also destroyed the control harness. The technician at oak hill automotive commented that if he had fixed one of these, he had fixed a hundred. Also, the control harness was expected to be a custom part, but it was in stock. The cause for the melting is unknown, though the repair shop speculated there might be a short in the system.

While driving on the NJ trnpke, the vehicle lost power and coasted towards the shoulder. Driver pulled over, and opened the hood, and didn't notice anything. While on the ramp, the vehicle started smoking and the thermometer gauge had begun to rise. The vehicle then bursted into flames. The consumer states that as they got on the ramp, a passing driver waved, and the consumer looked in the rear view mirror and saw the smoke coming from the engine compartment, possible ecectrical system failure.
