I had a mysterious coolant leak from my 2000 jeep grand cherokee. I had the water pump checked and it was fine. I had to add coolant and water to my jeep everytime I went somewhere so it did not over-heat. I went to work and my jeep was starting to over-heat. After my 8 hour shift I put in 2 gallons of water into the radiator. It seemed fine until I got about a mile from my apartment when my jeep just stalled out. I had to get it towed back to my apartment. I had a mechanic come over and he thought I just blew a head gasket. As he went to replace it, he realized that my engine had blown up because of this problem. I do not have the money to fix this problem, also I still owe 7000 on it.

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!
I have a coolant leak that I can not get fixed. No visible leak, I have had pressure test after test, I had the head gasket fixed, radiator cap, alot of work done on it and it continues to lose coolant at rapid rates. Every three to four days I am filling my coolant up. Also, my rear brake lights go out and don't work when my lights are on, and I have had those replaced numerous times also!! Very frustrating... No one can find the source of the leak and I have read page after page of complaints on the internet concerning the exact thing with the exact model!!

Coolant loss two water pumps in 2 years 2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo.
My 2000 jeep grand cherokee is having problems like many other people. The low coolant light constantly comes on and I have to add coolant weekly, although there is no visible leak. Mechanics have told me they cannot find the problem until this past week when a mechanic told me the coolant was leaking into my engine and mixing with my oil. The mechanic estimated I will need a completely new engine within a few months since the coolant-oil mixture has been running through my engine for some time now. The mechanic stated that the engine will stop running in the very near future. My rear left brake and tail light goes out when I step on the brakes. I have had several issues with the rotors and finally had the mechanic replace them with a different kind.
I purchased a jeep grand cherokee brand new in the year of 2000. I've had nothing but problems with the heating of the vehicle. October of 2005 no heat on the passenger side. January 23,2007 the same problem and now again february 22, 2008 now it's the thermostat needed to be replaced. I'm wounding if this is a recall issue. Also my recent recall about the electric radiator fan, I paid out of pocket $836.90 to replaced my radiator fan august 2, 2006. I think I should be reimbursed for that expensed because it was recalled after the fact.
Multiple times vehicle shuts off leaving driver with no power steering and light brakes. No check engine light or other way to diagnosis the issue.
My jeep grand cherokee 2000 sporadically has power loss continued by a sudden acceleration, the problem is more frequently now too.
I have a 200 jeep grand cherokee laredo and after reading many sites (blogs, complaint sites, etc.) I see that others are having the exact same problems I am. My jeep has 101,000 miles on it and it is experiencing coolant leaks and also the crack in the cylinder head between the 3rd and 4th cylinder. Now the y way I see it, is that is soooooo many people are experiencing this problem then there should be a recall on it. It is not fair to the consumers that we are shelling out all of this money for a problem that is in the vehicle design.
Chrysler f25 safety recall for electric fan separation. Recall letter states" this can damage radiator and/or cause the engine to overheat." this has happened to my vehicle causing 2,600 worth of damage. Chrysler will not pay repair bill, I've got to.
