Climate Control Issue?

[Jeepy Jeepy]

I have no idea if it's just me with this issue but I've realized with the front windshield defrost on, AC on or off, and the temperature ranging between 65-71 degrees that it's never consistent. I'll sometimes get ice cold air at 66 degrees and the next day it'll be hot as hell, or at a slightly higher temp. it'll give me a nice consistent temp. and then decide on it's own whether to be hot or cold. My JLUR is currently at the body shop getting it's grill repainted, yes I have the white one, and I notified the dealership AGAIN that I'm having this issue after they dismissed it the first time. Let me know if you're having similar issues.

I thought it was just me....Same exact issue which I just recently noticed...Does exactly what u said.. I haven't used the defroster up until the past couple weeks with the rain we have had..

My JL had about 1k miles when I bought it (GM drove it around) and since purchasing I've noticed it. I don't know what to do cause the service rep. I've been dealing said she didn't notice it the first time the JL went into the shop, hopefully this time around she'll see what I meant back then. Getting it back tomorrow so I'll update you on what she says.

It is the automatic climate control, I'm sure.

Thank you for posting this.

You are welcome.

I had to look it up when I thought mine was going haywire.

I run mine in auto all the time and it seems to be ok, the only issue I have is the recirc damper randomly opens and blows warm air in from behind the glove box but this has been discussed in another thread.

As before they found no issue, gonna have to use that automatic feature and see what's good with it.

Can you post a link to that thread?

Our heater is really working or failing? If you set the temp at 72-80 degrees on defrost the air comes out between 43 and 181 degrees. If/when it starts blowing 160+ (without adjusting anything) if you slow down or come to a stop the it gets really cold. Drive down the road for a bit and it climbs to 160+ OR it just stays cold for 10 minutes or so. It has a mind of its own. Again you just set the defrost on XX degrees and start driving. You will bake, freeze and do everything in between. If you hit the “auto” button it switches randomly between vents, defrost, vents and the floor and back. The good news is the temp has the control of a cruise ship full of women on menopause. We call the Jeep “Katy Perry” cause it’s hot and then cold...took it in once and Jeep couldn’t recreate the issue brought it back in and they saw it first hand and have ZERO idea how to fix it.

I have been having a similar issue, I only run in manual mode, and it will blow very hot, then it slowly starts changing to cool, lukewarm air, even when set to 80 degrees. I took it to the dealership, brought the rep out and had him feel the cold air coming out. They said it was fixed by a software update, and there was a technical service bulletin 08-042-18 for this issue. We shall see!

It is the automatic climate control, I'm sure.

So that I understand correctly...while in "Auto", setting the temperature on the climate control system doesn't mean that should be the temperature of the air coming out of the system, but instead, the temperature of the system will be what is needed to get the internal cabin temp to what you've set.

For example, if it's cold outside, and the internal temp of the cabin is 50 degrees....setting it to 72 might blow out hot air. If it's hot outside, and the internal temp of the cabin is 100 degrees....setting it to 72 might blow out cold air.

That right?

It works like the thermostat in your house. Set it to a temperature that is comfortable, and it will keep it there.
