Consumer Description

I OWN A 2000 JEEP CHEROKEE LAREDO AND WHEN I COLD START IT THE OIL PRESSURE GOES TO A BIT OVER 40 BUT AFTER THE INLINE 6 4.0 LTR WARMS UP THE OIL PRESSURE DROPS TO ZERO AND THE CHECK GAUGES LIGHT GOES ON. I HAVE REPLACED THE OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT TWICE AND CLEANED THE OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT MOUNTING NUT AND IT HAS NOT AFFECTED THE OIL PRESSURE. I HAVE KEPT REGULAR OIL CHANGES AT 3000 MILES. I AM ALSO LOSING ENGINE COOLANT BUT CANNOT FIND A LEAK ANYWHERE IN THE SYSTEM. I HAVE PRESSURE CHECKED THE COOLING SYSTEM COLD AND IT HOLDS PRESSURE, HOT IT LOSES PRESSURE IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS NOW. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT IT IS MOST LIKELY A CRACKED HEAD AND APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HEADS USED ON 99 TO 01 JEEP INLINE 6'S. IF IT IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM WHEN IT CHRYSLER NOT ADDRESSING IT? THIS IS MY SECOND JEEP CHEROKEE, MY FIRST A 98, AND IT WAS A GREAT CAR BUT THAT ONE IS JUNK. *TR
