Radiator made with plastic which leaks at the top where the plastic is crimped to the metal core. This is an inevitable problem on all jeep (chrysler products) made with radiators manufactured using plastic causing leakage before the life expectancy of the radiator is reached. In some cases, coolant is flammable. To my knowledge no recall has been performed.

Found crack in exhaust manifold between the #1 and #2 ports at around 68,000 miles, after discussing this problem with a number of other jeep owners I learned this is a common problem with the 1999 and other years back. My complaint is, if daimler chrysler is aware of this problem and I am sure they are, why aren't they addressing it. Unhappy with dealer and stock manifold, replaced with after market exhaust manifold header.
