After driving my vehicle for approx 20 minutes I notice smoke coming from the front of the hood. I opened the hood and found that the hose leading from the engine was very. My temperature gauges all registered normal so I added some engine coolant and did not drive the vehicle until the next am. After a 3 mile drive to work same situation again. I took the car to my mechanic and was told the radiator had rotted and need to be replaced. Odd since there was no indication prior to the smoke.
Don't buy a Jeep! piece of junk. Since I have owned mine the following has broke radiator, seat track, power window motor, brakes, blowout, transmission, headlight covers dulled, multiple rear light outages, inside lights out.
