Consumer Description

I LOVE MY JEEP. HOWEVER, I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM MANY OWNERS OF THE 2000 CHEROKEE WITH THE 4.0 HAVE. I HAVE A CRACKED CYLINDER HEAD. NO OIL IN COOLANT, OR VICE VERSA, BUIT JEEP IS PARKED AND WILL NOT MOVE UNTIL IT IS EITHER SOLD OR SCRAPPED. BODY IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND EVERYTHING WORKS ON THE JEEP. I HAVE ROD KNOCK ON START UP, AND AS THE ENGINE WARMS, OIL PRESSURE DROPS TO ZERO. REVVING ENGINE TO 2000 RPM RAISES OIL PRESSURE. THE JEEP HAS 181,000 MILES. I HAVE HEARD FROM MANY PEOPLE THAT THE CYLINDER HEAD CRACKING IS VERY COMMON IN JEEPS FOR 2 MODEL YEARS, YET JEEP HAS GOTTEN AWAY WITH A RECALL SOMEHOW. I AM NOT HAPPY. I BOUGHT THE JEEP USED AND ONLY DROVE IT A MONTH BEFORE THE KNOCKING STARTED. THE LADY I BOUGHT IT FROM DID OIL CHANGES EVERY 2 MONTHS, AND TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE WHEN EVER SOMETHING WENT WRONG
