1 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 07/13/2016

Crack cylinder head . When driving start to overheat. When check on it I found the problem and I researched and found this is a problem with the cylinder head for Jeep years 2000,2001,2002. They say those years the iron ore was very expensive on the world market.

2 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 03/02/2016

I love my Jeep. However, I have the same problem many owners of the 2000 Cherokee with the 4. 0 have. I have a cracked cylinder head. No oil in coolant, or vice versa, buit Jeep is parked and will not move until it is either sold or scrapped. Body is in good condition and everything works on the Jeep. I have rod knock on start up, and as the engine warms, oil pressure drops to zero. Revving engine to 2000 rpm raises oil pressure. The Jeep has 181,000 miles. I have heard from many people that the cylinder head cracking is very common in Jeeps for 2 model years, yet Jeep has gotten away with a recall somehow. I am not happy. I bought the Jeep used and only drove it a month before the knocking started. The lady I bought it from did oil changes every 2 months, and took it in for service when ever something went wrong.

3 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 02/09/2014

How can I find out if the recalls on my Jeep Cherokee grand laredo 2000 have been taken care of. I bought it used from a car dealer in 2012. I am unable to get any results from the dealer. Thank you.

4 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 05/21/2012

We just bought the car 2 months ago. When we get to a speed of 60 or over if we hit a bump in the road it starts to shake. We have to come to a complete stop before it will quite. It happened 4 times in a matter of 15 miles. We took it to a repair shop and they said there was nothing they can do to help us. That it happens with all Jeeps. We took it to two other shops and they could not help us. The person we bought it from only had it a year. He told us there was no problem. We do not believe him. But now what do we do. ? I believe that is why there was such low milage on the car. What does Jeep say? it scares us too death before we can pull it over to the side of the busy highway. Who do we turn too?.
