2000 Jeep Laredo

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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP LAREDO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR BEGAN MAKING A NOISE WHILE BEING LOCKED AND UNLOCKED. THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN WITH THE KEY REMOTE. ADDITIONALLY, THE HATCH AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN OR CLOSE. ALL OF THE DOORS HAVE TO BE OPENED MANUALLY AND THE CONTACT HAS TO OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. CHRYSLER STATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS A COMMON FAILURE AND THE DOORS HAVE NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 118,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

I BOUGHT MY WIFE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, AND IT HAS SHUT OFF WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING, PUTTING HER IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, WITH NO "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT...NOTHING, LOW COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON WHEN THERE IS COOLANT ALREADY IN THE CAR, CHECK GAUGES LIGHT KEEP COMING ON, HEATER DOESN'T HEAT WELL, THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER DOOR LOCK DOES NOT WORK, I'VE REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT AND THE WATER PUMP ONCE. AND I'VE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE OVERHEATING AND THE FAN NOT COMING ON AND HAD IT REPLACED. I DO BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE JEEP CHEROKEE ESPECIALLY THE 2000 MODEL AND THINK IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET FOR BLOGS TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND FOUND THERE WERE WELL OVER 100 PEOPLE ON ONE WEBSITE WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS. I THINK THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THOSE THAT OWN THIS VEHICLE AND I AM ASKING YOU TO PLEASE RECALL THIS VEHICLE BEFORE IT CAUSES SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OR EVEN DEATH. PLEASE DON'T IGNORE THIS COMPLAINT, AND I HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON CONCERNING THIS MATTER. YOU SHOULD NOT EVEN HAVE "NUMBER OF DEATHS" LISTED, BUT IF YOU BE HONEST AND TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEMS, THERE WOULD NOT BE ANY DEATHS. *TR

I HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS SUMMONS FOR FAULTY TAILLIGHTS. I HAD THE LIGHTS REPLACED TWICE. THE BACK BRAKELIGHTS ARE OUT TOTALLY. THE NYPD SEEMS TO FAMILIAR WITH THESE CASES IN THE 2000 JEEPS, THE FIRST QUESTION I WAS ASKED BEFORE ASKING FOR MY LICENSE AND REGISTRATION, THE POLICE OFFICER INQUIRED ABOUT THE YEAR OF MY VEHICLE. I AM REALLY SURPRISED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THE GRAND CHEROKEES. I ALWAYS SEE THE SEEM ISSUES WITH THE GRAND CHEROKEES ON THE ROAD. *TR

THE GAUGES ON THE DASH - SPEEDOMETER-GAS-OIL-HEAT, ETC. WILL ALL FAIL AT THE SAME TIME - THEY WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT - AND ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS WILL COME ON - BUT YOU CAN STILL DRIVE THE CAR - YOU JUST HAVE NO IDEA WHAT EH CAR IS DOING - AND THE POWER WINDOWS DO NOT WORK - THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A TOTAL OF 8 WEEKS SINCE AUG 26 - THEY HAVE YET TO BE ABLE TO FIX IT - THERE ARE A LOT OF WRITE UPS ON THE INTERNET FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM - AS A MATTER OF FACT JEEP HAD A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM FOR THEIR 2002 MODEL - BUT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP WITH THIS - KIND OF SCARY TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF THE GAUGES GO OFF. *TR

GAUGES SHORT OUT - NO SPEEDOMETER - NO GAS GAUGES, OIL PRESSURE, TEMP, ETC - WINDOWS WILL NOT ROLE DOWN. - THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME - KIND OF SCARY - IT LIGHTS UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE.. MY DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR 7 OF THE LAST 10 WEEKS - TRYING TO FIX IT. I CONTACTED JE/CHRYSLER - THEY SAID IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH ON THE INTERNET I FOUND AT LEAST A 100 PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM - IN 2002 JEEP RECALLED ALL OF ITS CARS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. *TR
