One problem related to engine failure has been reported for the 1998 Jeep Cherokee. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My 1998 Jeep Cherokee 4. 0 liter 6 cylinder engine experiences sudden oil pressure drops. This happens when the car warms up. I've had the vehicle checked and the oil pressure sender unit replaced as a precaution. My mechanics are unable to find anything wrong with the vehicle. Looking to the internet for help, I've found hundreds of people with the same problem. Loss of oil pressure at high speeds could result in engine failure causing a fire or accident.
