Hi All,
I have a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee and would like to warn other owners of the Grand Cherokee of the potential for significant damage to their air con systems. The lower part of the air con condenser is exposed beneath the radiator and can be subjected to stone damage. I had a small impact, about 5 mm in diameter, in the exposed part of the condenser and it will cost about $1800 to fix! They have to pull off the entire front of the car and replace a major piece of the cooling system.
A small stone must have passed through the 20 mm grid at the lower front of the vehicle without the grid stopping the stone.
I would suggest to other owners that a smaller mesh size be installed in this lower grill to reduce the risk of this damage. My local Jeep dealer showed no concern for this apparent example of poor design.
Happy Travels,
Grant
