Check Engine Light On problems of the 2000 Jeep Cherokee

I bought this truck used from a private owner in March of 15, check engine light was on was told it was on because they changed the gas cap on it in June of 15 I was at a store parked went into the store came back out truck wouldn't start no lights nothing jumping didn't do anything had to tow it home, then tow it to the repair shop where they said it was the starter and we placed that ( $394. 93) truck ran fine for about 2 weeks same thing, going to tow it the repair shop again next week.

The contact owns a 2000 Jeep Cherokee. While driving approximately 60 mph, the contact heard a loud shuttering noise coming from the vehicle. Thirty minutes later, the engine warning light illuminated on the instrument control panel. He took the vehicle to a dealer and a representative stated that the coil burned and the engine had excessive carbon. The engine was cleaned out and the coil was repaired. Immediately after the repair was made, the vehicle failed. He took the vehicle back to the dealer and they stated that the cylinder cracked from excessive heating. The vehicle is currently being repaired. The manufacturer did not provide any assistance. The failure mileage was 74,000.

Engine was knocking, check engine light came on, diagonistic test showed 6th cylinder was misfiring lifter was damaged. The camshaft was replaced as well as the lifters and headgasket. I do not understand how a 2000 vehicle with only 81000 kms needs $2000. 00 worth of repairs done. The dealer also advised me that he can't understand how this is required either. He advised me to call 1-800- 465-2001 to voice my complaint. He also gave me the old part to send back to Chrysler. The 1-800 # I called advised me that they will put my inforamtion in my file, but they could not do anything else for me nor did they want the part. I would like feed back on this complaint as I am not happy with my experiences with Chrysler thus far. Are the parts they are using to build these vehicles not up to par? ????.

While driving the vehicle jerked and the check engine light illuminated and stayed on the remainder of the time vehicle was being operated.

Consumer stated that engine check light came on periodically.

At 7200 miles the engine check light went on flashing. This happened 2 more time over last winter. Each time the spark plugs are fouled and replaced, the computer reports misfiring in the engine. Then in July my car went on fire after driving 6 miles to the store. I parked my car went into the store only to be called out 5 min later that my car was on fire. The fire department had to break into the car because the hood release was burnt. Chrysler said it was a rodent that chewed the fuel injector harness. Now I'm out my insurance deductible and additional rental car charges. Then 2/1/02 after driving to work 7 mile my car again went on fire after parking. This time my boyfriend heard a crackling sound and saw smoke when he stopped and pulled the hood release, saw flames and throw snow on it to put it out. It's still in the dealing waiting to see what Chrysler has to say now.
