2002 Jeep Laredo Engine cooling Problems

“My radiator fan broke off the motor on sunday september 9, 2007 and I had it towed to tire kingdom since the dealership was closed.

I just got this problem fixed and later that night my brakes were squeaking. I have a constant rubbing noise when I turn my car (not sharply, just normal turning). They check it every time I'm in for service and state they can't find anything. I had fluids leak in my car that cause a wire to burn (within 3000 miles) and other oil leaks that required new sparks. I feel like I'm constantly in the shop with this car.”

“On my way to work on monday morning at around 5:15 am, smoke started to come out from my Jeep's hood on the drivers side. I turned around and proceed to head back home.

Once firemen came they put out the fire. The Jeep is a total loss.”
