Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 GRAND CHEROKEE JEEP LIMITED THAT I PURCHASED NEW. IT WAS FAIRLY OK UNTIL 2003 AT ABOUT 60K MILES. THAT'S WHEN THE RADIATOR STARTING LEAKING. IT WAS REPLACED IN 2003 AND ANNUALLY THEREAFTER (5 REPLACEMENTS) WITH THE LAST ONE IN MARCH 2007. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL WATER PUMPS PLUS REPLACING THE HEATER CORE. THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND THE CAUSE FOR THE RADIATORS TO CONTINUE TO BREAKDOWN EVERY YEAR WITH LESS THAN 10K AND UNDER 12 MONTHS EACH TIME. I BELIEVE THE JEEP HAS AN INHERENT FLAW IN THE COOLING SYSTEM DESIGN. CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO IGNORE THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT PAY FOR ANY FUTURE RADIATORS WHICH ALMOST ASSUREDLY WILL BREAKDOWN AGAIN IN THE NEAR FUTURE. *JB
