Noticed in fall of 07 that the oil pressure was dropping to zero when the vehicle warmed up. Check gauges light would come on. In winter 07, started having to refill the coolant. I had the coolant checked and the dealership said there was no problem. Recently had trouble starting the engine and took it to a local repair shop. Shop technician said my engine is going to blow and should replace it ASAP. Unacceptable! I followed every oil change religiously!.
200 Jeep Grand Cherokee. 98000 miles engine surges on start and when idling. Surge rises to 2500 rpm falls to 1500, rises to 2000 etc until it reaches 700 rpm normal idle. When in operation the surge occurs and would move the car forward if brakes are not applied. Surge can also be felt when decelerating and braking. Intermittent but persistent problem for start up and operation. Does not occur often enough or for long enough periods to catch on diagnostics. If gears engaged when in high idle it squeals rubber even with brakes applied.
