Consumer Description

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH AND JEEP STARTS TO OVERHEAT. HAD MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. REPLACED RADIATOR, THERMOSTAT, COOLANT SYSTEM FLUSH, AND NEW ANTIFREEZE REPLACED. THAT SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THEN I WOULD HAVE TO KEEP REFILLING ANTIFREEZE BUT IT WAS NOT LEAKING ANY THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR THEN I NOTICED BROWN GUNK IN THE OVERFLOW CONTAINER AND HAD A MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT AND HE SAID THAT WAS DUE TO THE ANTIFREEZE MIXING WITH OIL MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY A CRACKED CYLINDER HEAD. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND IT WAS EXTREMELY COMMON THAT THE 2000 JEEP CHEROKEES WOULD CRACK THEIR CYLINDER HEADS BETWEEN THE 3 AND 4 HEADS. VERY ANNOYING TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX. *TR
