“I have a 2000 Jeep grand cherokee. I have an anti-freeze leak. I have had it fixed twice. I wish I could tell you what was done but I know very little about cars. I am currently having the problem again. I went on the internet to find out what it could be but all I found was a large number of people who have sunk tons of money into fixing the problem on their 2000 Jeep grand cherokees. I am currently adding anti-freeze daily.”

NHTSA complaint #10212862, filed 2007-12, 98,000 miles“My 2000 Jeep cherokee Laredo began experiencing a coolant leak and abnormally high coolant use, use that I noticed almost immediately after purchasing my vehicle used in august 2005. In december while getting the oil changed my mechanic indicated that there was a large amount of antifreeze in my oil.

NHTSA complaint #10146650, filed 2006-01, 79,500 miles“I own a 2000 Jeep cherokee Laredo and when I cold start it the oil pressure goes to a bit over 40 but after the inline 6 4.0 ltr warms up the oil pressure drops to zero and the check gauges light goes on. I have replaced the oil pressure sending unit twice and cleaned the oil pressure sending unit mounting nut and it has not affected the oil pressure. I have kept regular oil changes at 3000 miles. I am also losing engine coolant but cannot find a leak anywhere in the system. I have pressure checked the cooling system cold and it holds pressure, hot it loses pressure in about 15 minutes. …”
