I own a 2000 jeep grand cherokee with safety recall #f25 (electric fan). On october 20, 2010, I went to the auto repair shop due to a coolant leakage. The repair shop inspected the vehicle and noticed the leak was caused by a damaged radiator due to the electric fan breaking into pieces and causing the leakage. I paid them $259.00 for the new radiator. I was informed of the safety recall and I decided to go to the riverdale chrysler jeep located at 5869 broadway bronx ny 10463. After a general inspection they noticed the shroud was also damaged and refused to repair/replace stating that it was not covered. I am requesting full coverage of all related parts and labor as this was caused by the fan failure. I am further requesting a reimbursement for the cost of the new installed radiator and I can furnish a receipt as proof. The parts department employee handling my vehicle is [xxx] employee [xxx]tel# 718 548-3400 ext#305. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). [xxx]

I own a 2000 jeep grand cherokee, over the past 6 months it will just shutdown going down the highway. It does not matter what speed or even if you are sitting at a red light. Jeep dealership replaced the crank sensor and said that was my problem. It shutdown again on the way home from the dealership. I returned with the jeep and all they could tell me was they don't know what the problem is. My jeep will act like it has lost all electrical to it, all the gauges will fall to the left. After you turn if off sometimes it will restart and other times you have to sit there from anywhere to 5-15 minutes.
Tl* the contact owns a 2000 jeep grand cherokee. While driving approximately 40 MPH, there was a slight explosion sound. The contact moved the vehicle from the roadway and found that the fan blade, radiator and other under hood components were broken. The vehicle was towed to the dealer in which the vehicle was purchased. The dealer replaced the fan blade, radiator, hoses and connectors. The contact was able to locate the federal safety agency campaign id number: 06v199000 (engine and engine cooling: cooling system: fan) and when contacting the manufacturer, he was told his VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 140,000 and the current mileage 141,000.
My wife and I purchased a 2000 jeep grand cherokee from the dealership. About two years ago the 4.0 liter 6 cylinder engine started using coolant and causing the coolant light to alarm. The oil pressure would drop to "0" and sound the check gauges alarm. We took the car to the mechanic shop for costly repairs and troubleshooting. They replaced the water pump, couldn't find any leaks, and replaced the oil pump and rear main seal. They checked the bearing clearances and found them within tolerance. The car is still using one to two pints of coolant every three days and the oil continues to drop to "0" after warm-up. We replace the 4 wheel disc brakes and rotors every two years. The hood gas shocks won't hold the hood up and the shocks cost $150 a pair form the dealer and only last one year. We to have electric door locks that screech and don't lock the doors as well as rear light problems that work off and on. The emissions are much higher than normal on our recent smog test. This is an indication that the #3 and 4 cylinder is using the mysterious antifreeze loss. As a retired mechanical engineer I also believe the oil problem to be related. My wife has the grand cherokee and I purchased a tj wrangler new in 2000. I'm concerned this vehicle will develop the same problems having the same engine. We have invested over $50 thousand in these two cars. We need your help to help us offset this burden.
The engine shuts down and the electrical system to start the car is shutdown while driving. I have had this happen to me numerous times and have not been able to find the resolution to it. It's a tremendous safety concern because it has happened to me while driving on several highways. The car attempts to turn over while trying to start it however none of the gauges are responding to the key in the ignition during turn over. I have read numerous forums with many people with the same problem. Changes have been made to everything from sensor's to PCM ( main computer ) to resolve the problem. In my case the computer system isn't storing any codes with a problem. Initially I changed the crank shaft position sensor because of the code but the problem continues to happen. To make matters worse because the entire system is shut down there is no power steering making it almost impossible to glide over to the shoulder.
I own a 2000 jeep grand cherokee. My wife was picking up my kids, when the car began to shake and then overheated. I took my car the mechanic, who told me that the radiator fan was defective and had to be replaced. He told me that this was a common problem with the grand cherokee. I looked at your website, and discovered that there was a recall on this part, but only for certain VIN numbers. I paid $735 dollars to replace the defective part, and chrysler/jeep said they will not reimburse me because of my VIN number. They told me to contact the federal safety agency to find out why my jeep wasn't covered, since they had no other information for me. I know that the grand cherokee from 1999 to 2004 has the same exact parts and body and I don't understand why my jeep isn't covered under the recall when this is a known problem.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo. While driving 35 MPH the vehicle stalled and shut off. When the vehicle shuts off, it becomes difficult to restart it. The vehicle has not been diagnose by the dealer or a local mechanic. The contact is concerned about the safety risk since her life is in jeopardy while driving if a crash occurred. The failure mileage was 120,000.
My jeep only have 68,000 mile, now all my light are on because of this fan recall. I belive it over heated and has caused this to happin, I live 5-min from my job. I only go from home and back to work ,I need it fixed. Just repairing fan does not resolved other problems. Thank you year 2000 yc319900 electric radiator fan cause car to stop runing. But will start back up.
There is no heat blowing on driver side but heat on passenger side.
I have a 2000 jeep grand cherokee.. I have the same as all other 2000 jgc owners are having. Been using coolant every few weeks needs to be topped off.. Fan was replace due to recall. Had to replace fan control under headlight. Last year was overheating. Replaced water pump/ thermostat. Overheating again. Just replaced thermostat today. Did not fix the problem. Transmission has been shifting hard for the past year and a half. I replaced parts in transmission as suggested by dealer. But it did not fix problem..replaced radiator around may of 09 still having cooling problems. I replaced so many sensors that have failed that I cant remember them all. I still have 1 more year of payments on this vehicle.. Its hard to make payments when I have been buying so many parts to try to keep this car running. Bad door seals, they are too small (short or shrinking) it lets water come in back passenger area. Always smells musty inside.. Black mold in the rainy season. Taillight brake light on one only works part time. Replaced 3 door latches. Including one on rear hatch.
Coolant loss with no leaks found dealer don't want to find problem. Mechanic says aii 2000 models are doing it and chrysler will not fix problem. Mechanic said to sell it and make it somebody else's problem. Mechanic said i6 head cracks, fan relay goes bad, radiator cracks and chrysler don't want to stand behind there product and fix it.
I have a 2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo, with a 4.0 liter inline 6 cylinder, and doing a bit or research I have found that is common on this car to have a overheating problem, due to cracked cylinder head which is a major job...to fix this problem will cost about $ 3000.00.
The radiator fan blades on my 2000 jeep grand cherokee fractured and separated while the motor was running. This is consistent with the federal safety agency campaign id number: 06v199000 and corresponding daimlerchrysler recall no. F25, however, this recall was only for vehicles built from january 31, 2000 through june 12, 2000. My jeep was constructed in december of 1999 so my fan is not included in this recall. I'd like clarification on why model year 2000 jeep grand cherokee's that were built in december of 1999 are not included in the recall even thought the engineering and construction of the recalled item and corresponding fracture and separation of the radiator fan are the same.
Jeep 2000 grand cherokee laredo inline 6cyl I recently experienced low coolant and oil pressure problems. I had the water pump replaced, the oil sensor switch replaced, and the oil pump replaced. The repairs were done individually in that order. I am still experiencing low coolant although the car does not seem to overheat. I recently had a pressure test and there were no leaks. When the car is started in the morning I have the proper oil pressure. As soon as the car warms up the oil pressure fluctuates and eventually activates the alert indicator (bell sound). The engine sounds fine and there are no performance problems. I brought the car back to the service station that did the repairs. The mechanic suggested that I use a heavier oil for the pressure problem. I will let you know the results. This may be the last attempt before an engine overhaul. Jeep should have a recall for these problems.

When the fan broke, pieces flew into the radiator and damaged it beyond repair. The radiator and fan had to be replaced. Updated 10/27/09
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 jeep grand cherokee. While driving 30 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact placed the vehicle into park. When she restarted it, the vehicle operated normally. The failure has occurred a total of ten times. Both the dealer and a private mechanic could not determine the cause of the failure. The contact feels that this is a huge safety issue because a crash could occur. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 103,000.
I have had a slow coolant leak for the last year and cannot figure out why. Also the oil gauge is reading 0 at idle, but goes back to normal when driving. I also have had three different cylinder misfires in the last year. I have taken this vehicle to different repair shops and nobody can tell me where the coolant is going and if these are all related. I have replaced the water pump, oil pressure sensor switch, spark plugs, rail pack, spark plug boots, and thermostat. Vehicle has 120k miles.
2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo 4.0l inline 6 with cracked cylinder head (between #3 & 4) allowing coolant fluid to leak into engine. Noticed coolant disappearing @90,000 miles. Had pressure test by 2 different dealers. Cracked cylinder head diagnosed by second dealer recently. Problem appears to be a defect in the cylinder head casting #0331. Discovered many other owners with same problem at carsurvey.org. Under jeep cherokee reviews. Please order a recall! I could not believe how many people have experienced the same scenario as myself on carsurvey.org website.
I bought the car in september 2007..in november I was on the highway and suddenly the car started to overheat had to get it towed to the nearest auto shop where they said the radiator was damaged and had to be changed...couple days later the fan stopped working which also had to be changed. After all the over heating the mechanic told me the engine burned out and also had to be replaced after the fact my car wouldnt start. Had the truck working for a while until april 2008 where my transmission started failing. I kept hearing a clicking noise and the truck wouldnt accelerate as fast it should have been. Had the transmission replaced at cottman transmission. After all this had happened the engine light came on and I couldnt get my inspection done, turned out to be a hose causing air to be released. It is now january 2009 and my truck has leaked out all its antifreeze once again its over heating. All in all since september 2007 I have spent over $3500-$4000 on this truck. Still making payments on the truck from college hill auto in pennsylvania.
2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo: cracked cylinder head. 143,000 miles. Engine must be replaced. Will cost $4,000. This engine problem sees to be extremely common.
Very little heat is coming out the driver side and cold air is coming out the passenger vents.
Engine overheating sporadically starting about 3 yrs. Ago. We replaced water pump per dealer but did not solve problem. Dealer said to replace hidden temperature relay - we did that. In meantime engine over heated cracking cylinder head between #3&4 cylinder causing hardships. We still now have the loss of coolant problem and loss of oil pressure ongoing. Needing oil pump change. Ongoing problems with all of this same problem oil pressure drops off & on to zero. Coolant still leaks into engine.
My car has major problems and I can't afford to fix, then I find the problem that I have is due to the automaker's problem because the car is on recalls for the problems I am having. I received no notices on any recall, and when I got on the web-site to check for recalls there are as many as 10 major problems with my car and jeep. Some could cause me to crash or even explode while driving. Where are my recall notices?
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo. The contact stated that the engine head was cracked between the cylinders. The check engine indicator illuminated on the instrument panel.

I have a 2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo that has multiple problems that many people have. They are not coincidental. I have the mysterious coolant loss that requires me to fill my jeep with coolant every three days. Several mechanics have not found in leaks. However in hopes of fixing the problem, I had my water pump replaced, two days later....my low coolant indicator pops up. Then my oil pressure is ridiculous going from zero to max and then making my check gauges light come on. Had the oil pressure sensor replaced because it was supposedly leaking....still having my oil pressure gauge go crazy. My A/C has ceased working as well and now the passenger rear door lock doesn't want to cooperate. I am very upset to the fact that hundreds of people are having the same problems with the 2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo. This vehicle must be recalled! This is a link to a forum of hundreds of people having the same issues. Http://www.carsurvey.org/viewmorecomments_review_78839_2.html.
My 2000 jeep cherokee's electric fan broke and cut into the radiator. I did a search for recalls and there is a recall for this fan, but here is the real problem: the coolant fan relay switch module fails and the fan doesn't properly cool the engine, then the poorly designed head cracks between the #3 and #4 head and all the coolant seeps into the cylinder area where the coolant is burned. Then without proper cooling, it destroys the engine. (recall to replace bad heads).
On my 2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo the head is cracked between the cylinders , I have read up on other jeeps with this problem and there has been several complaints with this problem in the inline six engine.
