Transmission coolant line is leaking it's been worked on several times. The motor has air in the coolant system after replacement of radiator. The power steering line was replaced. The back wiper motor does not work. Something inew the dash makes a moving sound after the engine is shut off on passenger side. I had brake lines fixed. The vehicle looses oil on the road due to the line leaking. The back wiper not working makes it hard to see out the back window.

This is the 2nd time I have had this problem. The heater/blower/vent system failed and no hot air comes out the right side of the car including the defroster which is dangerous. It turns out that there are cheap plastic temperature doors on the heating system under the dash that break. This is a very common problem on 1999-2004 Jeep with dual heating systems. I had this repair done at 72,500 miles and now again at 141,900 miles. Both times the repair was about $1500. The repairs were done on Nov 9, 2009 and Dec 2, 2015. I am taking the car back to the dealer today because the air is still not coming out of the vents properly. I was checking about recalls before I go to the dealer, and I just found this website that describes the common problem and a low cost way to fix it yourself. www.jgcparts.com/jeepheater.html. I hope you can help me and all the others who have had this problem!!!!
