1 Engine Oil Leaking problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2010

The contact owns a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated the oil pan exhibited random holes causing oil to leak out from the vehicle. The manufacturer ordered a newer oil pan for the contact but after 90 days, he still had not received it. The VIN was unknown. The failure and current mileages were 130,000.

2 Engine Oil Leaking problem

Failure Date: 03/20/2004

My wife made a quick stop at a local store. Upon returning the vehicle's engine would not turn over. She paused for a few minutes and attempted to start the engine again. There was a loud bang followed by a loud rattling. At the mechanic shop, the mechanic hoisted the Jeep on the lift and we witnessed a hole and crack in the bottom of the engine about the size of a softball. The cracked piece was only being held by a bolt or some kind of rivet or else the hole damage would have been much larger. The 99 Jeep gc had 96500 miles on it, regular oil changes, and it was not leaking oil. It happened without warning, and I have heard no decent explaination for this. Cost $1500, and this was considered a good price. Yours truly, disgrunted consumer.
