I had my Jeep in the shop for about 2 weeks because someone ran into me. Now all of a sudden my suspension system isn't working. My Jeep is so low to the ground that it's scraping everything and bouncing around like crazy. Progressive won't even fix the issue reverb right the original accident wasn't my fault and I never had this issue before taking it in for a fender bender... I'm soooooooooo angry I have no idea what to do other than her a lawyer
I have a 2011 3.6 lerado. When I go 60mph, It make this grinding whistling sound like air leaking from under the hood. Is there an evap line under there that needs checking?
my wife has a 2015 JGC Limited 3.6 with 110K miles, we bought it brand new. We have had some issues but nothing worth mentioning. Based on mileage and dealer's recommendation, I've been doing some preventive maintenance; idler pulley, tensioner pulley, harmonic balancer, belt, thermostat, water pump, starter, motor mounts. Soon I will be doing the rocker arms. All in all its a great SUV, the engine still running very strong without showing any signs of slowing down. I'm hoping to keep it for another 10yrs.
Yup, 2014 Limited with 60K miles. Replaced the thermostat and both motor mounts leaked out long ago. Doesn't seem too matter, however. I needed to replace the battery today after 10 years. Under the seat is a stupid place for a battery, but I had no trouble, thanks to good TH-cam videos. Thanks.
Wow, thank you! Great video! I have a 2012 overland. I’ve had ( or still have) most of the issues you mention! The rough morning shift is one that I’ve been concerned about… but no longer concerned! Thank you!
You literally made my day! I have been struggling with that exact same oil leak for like 6 months now and could not track it down. Never thought to check to oil filter interface and that was exactly it! Thank you! I'm on my 3rd thermostat lol.. But easy and cheap fortunately.
I have the transmission shift issue from 1 to 2. It’s been happening so that’s how I ended up watching your video. My Jeep Grand Cherokee is a 2014 w/169k miles so she’s had her run. Great vehicle like you mention, other issues were the air not circulating but that was fixed a while back. Key fob battery as well. Thanks for sharing!
I bought a 12' Laredo new. Still have it, 140,000 miles. The thermostat got me as well as the air switch you spoke of. That one was $900. My starter recently went, another $900. Otherwise in 10 years it's been great. Drives like new, I've done tires a few times, got rear brakes. I plan to drive it another 100k. It's quiet and smooth, and it can handle 20 inches of snow even though it's got the base 4wd system. Best vehicle I've owned.
@@jonthompson8807 ha good question. Lived in in Illinois and did for 8.5 years. The past 1.5 I've lived in a townhome near the beach in FL with no garage so it will be interesting to see how it does. I wax it 2 times a year and no more show so that's good, but the ocean and heat will be a test. Looks good still
We have 2012 V6 3.6L with 72K miles on it. The only thing that went bad was the thermostat. It is GREAT VEHICLE! No other problems. The best 4x4 SUV you can buy. Made in USA!
I have the same...2019 Jeep GC Trailhawk, V8, with tow package. I have the air suspension system, and a couple of years ago, I got that warning message a couple of times, and it stopped working once, but I never had a single issue last winter, and it gets down to -45 C where I live. Got lucky I guess. Going into winter again now....big snow storm as I speak. Hope I have no issues with the air suspension.
@jackieu8209 If your air suspension has issues in freezing temperatures, it's almost always because there's moisture in the system. The moisture in the system can freeze and cause problems, but everything will work fine again once the temperature goes up above freezing again. The fix for this is to refill the air suspension with nitrogen and since nitrogen doesn't have any moisture in it, no more issues in freezing temperatures.
2012 GC OL. I had pretty much all the problem you discussed. I am not a handy man however I fixed both blenddoor actuators. Driver side was little difficult. Cost me under 100 dollar to fix. Dealer asked me 1800 dollar to fix. Lol. TH-cam has step by step instruction. Thanks for sharing. Love the comfort. I find this Jeep way more fun drive then my 2018 4Runner. I said comfort not reliability. Lol
if you remember which video that helped you replaced the driver blend door actuator.. i would LOVE the help! mine has been broken for like 2 years but i know how much the dealer wants to fix it and i cant pay that. thankfully i live in sunny cali and heat isnt a huge need in my part of the state
2011 - 208K miles....waterpump was replaced at 150k. I replaced the broken accuators (both) ~185K. youtube can help you with any fix needed. Still runs great!
Really? I’ve got an opportunity to buy a 2011 Grand Cherokee from this old lady. Only drove it 32k miles.. Skeptical from what I’ve heard for the 2011 model year. Have you owned yours since new?
I’ve had my 2015 GC Lerado Blackhawk for 3 years now. It has 190,000 Kms on it. I’ve changed the oil filter housing (did it myself), changed the thermostat (myself), I think #4 coil and just recently changed all 24 rockers. Even with all that, I love this SUV it’s such a nice looking SUV, especially, black on black 😊
Have a grand Cherokee with the hemi- kept getting service 4wd system and was told it was very common that likely it needed a new transfer case. Was quoted 4grand for a used one and no guarantee that it wouldn’t have same issue. I took it to a transmission specialist who determined all that was needed was a transmission computer re-program. $1000 and zero issues since.
I swapped my air ride on my 2011 Overland for strut and shocks. Between compressor and air bags I was looking at almost 10K. I put in an after market system from Strutmasters for right at 1k. It does ride stiffer but it's an excellent suspension system. 3:46
2016 Laredo E 4x2 purchased used in 2019 with 30k miles. 71k miles today 2/9/23 and other than synthetic oil changes every 8-10k miles (never even had to top off between changes) and engine/cabin filters, I haven't had to fix anything. I do need to change the key fob battery probably every 12-18 months and I also experience the rough 1-2 shift if I don't let it warm up and it's cold out. I've experienced this in other vehicles too so I'm not worried about that. Super reliable so far!
@@johndigenakis9725A sales gimmick would be to try to get you to come into the dealership every 5k miles for a $100 oil change. I check it every few thousand miles all the way close to 10k. The oil barely changes color and burns almost nothing. 87k miles today 7/4/24. The only thing I've had to do since my last post is new tires. To each their own.
About 88k miles today 7/17/24. No issues since my last comment on 2/9/23. I still go between 8-10k on synthetic oil changes. At that mileage interval, the oil still doesn't look all that dirty and is probably 85% full. The sales gimmick is changing your oil at its half life. The only way I can see needed more frequent oil changes is if you're always driving hard or if you basically drive it like a fleet vehicle, lots of stop and go.
2014 Laredo 4x4 with 94k miles. Replaced transmission under warranty after 60k miles. Recently had to replace starter and flywheel. Blend door issue, and about every 2 years the a/c fuse melts. But overall, has been an awesome vehicle and still runs smooth
I'm on my second, really love to drive these Jeeps. My 2011 V6 Laredo other than factory recalls done, changed the blend door on passenger side, tight access but certainly easy. Although was experiencing a weird rear brake problem, on occasion the rear brake would grab and heat up. Was going to change the body to caliper hose, but traded in before. I found that if you change the oil filter (easiest of any car !) was to change the seal which usually comes with the filter to prevent leakage. My 2016 392 SRT has been good also, changed the water pump and themostat , had a shock go under warranty, but other wise has been pretty good. The Carbon fiber trim pieces typically start to warp, but I believe they have an extended warranty due to being a common problem. Otherwise I really enjoy driving these vehicles!!
The fuel pump relay was a recall. It is part of the tipm. The recall put in a relay external to the tipm. I had the replaced relay also quit. Only a $4 DIY fix though. I'm having a problem now where the engine will start and stall a few seconds later. You have to push the button to turn the ignition off to attempt a restart. If you just keep your foot on the brake and try to restart it the engine will crank but not start. I've been told the fix is to either remove the start button and use the key inside the fob or replace the ECM. Mine has been doing this occasionally for a few months but it always ends up starting and staying running. It happens hot or cold, in all kinds of weather. The security system that the fob connects to loses contact as it transitions from starting to staying running. I found holding the fob near the start button helps.
I do a have a 2011 Grand Cherokee with the V6 and just shy of 210,000 miles. I did have to repair the air vent selector, big job and not cheap, but I have not experienced any of the other problems you mentioned except for the thermostat, twice. One issue that bothered me was the failure of the calipers, twice, and that happened suddenly on long trips, and I did not have a great time getting home. Overall, it's a great car, the interior and exterior are basically brand new, no rattles when driving and no issues with the hood. Very comfortable, fairly quiet and a great V6. I have the old 5 speed tranny, still working well, some "hiccups" when cold but no slipping and changing gears without problems. Will I get to 300,000? Time will tell!
2011 5.7 hemi with 225k miles..... blend door problem is a real pain. Replaced water pump, brake diaphram, a head light and have that hood bubbled paint. Sometimes have to use the key fob in the dashboard to start the engine. It acts like an alarm issue or a fob battery is bad. The tranny gets over 200 deg. F when towing my boat over 100 miles. I'm afraid to trade it in for a newer one as it runs well.
I have a 2014 limited and the things I experienced before it reached 90k I had to replace, transfer case sensor, ABS sensor, valve cover gaskets, thermostat, radio replaced twice, transmission went out, radiator leaked because its made of plastic, I go thru brake pads and rotors every three years and I use ceramic pads. I have 95k on it and we replaced spark plugs and coil packs. Despite having these gremlins and wear and tear items, I'm still keeping it.
2012 Hemi Overland w 122k- Air suspension line leak and then compressor failure, motor mounts, water pump, leaking steering rack, 2 broken exhaust manifold bolts, blend door motor failure
I have a 17 Limited with 89k miles and water pump has been replaced twice before replacing the engine mount at 80k miles and the radio volume knob pretty much melted/sticky. Other than those few issues I love my Jeep but will probably trade in closer to 100k....Great video!
I have a 2018 Grand Cherokee Limited 3.6L. I recently noticed a little rumble feel at idle (60,000 miles). I changed the spark plugs, cleaned the throttle body, new intake filter, checked all vacuum lines and replaced the vapor return solenoid. I didn't see any liquid coming from the motor mounts.
Excellent video and super accurate. I have a 2015 Grand Cherokee. 174k. I have experienced %90 of what you mentioned…..now off to check the engine mounts 😢
I’ve own a 12 grand Cherokee for about 8 years now. 195k on the dash, I’ve had the thermostat problem like you. A few others been the headlight and blinker plugs.
my top 5 Issues I've had with my 2014 GC 1. Warn rocker arms, causing that ticking sound. 2. Thermostat 3. Driver Side Blend Door Actuator. 4. Transmission cooling lines broke off 5. Service shifter message.
My first heated seated seats stopped working replaced the fuse still not working checked the connections as well. It's a 2014 jeep grand Cherokee limited
I have a 2014 WK2 Overland V8, it has had a water pump go at 80,000kms and the fuel door release needed fixing. Other than that it has had no other issues and currently has 145,00kms.
That’s funny, my fuel door release has been not working for a few years. Cheap solution, I use a magnetic chip bag clip. I put the magnet on the fuel door and put the handle of the chip clip so it Closes on the flat of the gas cap. Works perfect 👍
2014 Jeep GC V6 here, 90k miles. Problems so far: bad thermostat (stuck open), leaking radiator, leaking drivers side motor mount, bad rocker arm leading to damaged crankshaft (aka Pentastar tick), leaking oil cooler assembly, bad oil pressure sensor, clunking driver side door hinge and squeaking rear suspension when temp is below 32 deg. I fixed all these problems myself (except for the squeaking rear suspension which I haven't been able to diagnose yet). If I had to pay someone to fix all these problems, it probably would have cost $6k. Its a really nice vehicle but you better be a decent mechanic and have a spare vehicle around. Thankfully I am and I do.
You mentioned rough idle. Mine is starting to do that now. It is a 2017 and has about 63K miles. It also shakes pretty badly when I am stopped and barely take pressure off of the brake to creep forward. It isnt thowing any codes but seemed to start after I had a fuel injector issue and had them replaced. Any ideas what causes this or what I can do to fix it?
Wife's 2008 Grand Cherokee has 76,000 miles and has the same hood problem. Transfer box just replaced. Brake problems, CPU problem and leaking power steering pump and radiator. Blown cylinder head gasket. Starter replaced. Key fob problem which disabled the Jeep when you were out for the day. Looks like Jeep has never stopped with their problems. Extended warranty helps but not completely. The interior is all leather and very well done except the radio which has gone out twice.
I just bought a 2021 Grand Cherokee Laredo with less than 20k on it. When I go on rough gravel roads you can hear f - r suspension clunking, yet when I put it on jacks I can't find anything loose.
Love the way these drive considering their capabilities. Glad these still have the tried and true V6 and 8 speed. This video is super helpful. Good to keep an eye on common issues. Only issue I had on my ‘19 so far is a failed/faulty fuel pump module that left me stranded on the freeway. Replaced under warranty at least.
2011 3.6 180k no problem ever.. except for the recalls that jeep took care of fuel pump relay brake booster all the recalls have been done and I’ve had absolutely no problems 180 thousand miles and I still get 22 mpg on 32 inch tires. Yes it is lifted 2 1/2 inches.
2014 grand Cherokee and my thermostat has recently been tripping check engine light and it eats coolant like it’s goin out of style can’t find any leaks anywhere. Just hit 90 thousand in it other wise been great vehicle no other issues. And as for key fob I have only had to replace mine twice in 4 yrs.
@Kurt of Trades thanks for response and yea im pretty sure that is what it is just dont feel comfortable messing with that thing like that. I can do a lot to my truck but it's a 2001 doesn't have all those electronics
Hi this video was really helpful. My problem is overheating and I have already changed my cylinder head. How do I find out what causes this problem. I live in west Africa, Sierra Leone
I own a jeep 2021 Laredo, i parked in my house with foot brake on but forgot to put the gear selector to P, but left it unintentionally on N, and shut the car off. The next day I tried to start the car by first put the gear to P after I pressed the ignition and the gear went to P, but the car didn’t start rather started to act weird, lights start flashing etc. any experience with that. Thank you
I have laredo 2015... transmission replaced at 220 KM, I'm experiencing the rough shifting from 1st to 2nd gear you mentioned even with the new transmission, its really annoying issue... other than that, the car is awesome. I love it.
I have a 2012 grand Cherokee. Changed oil 12 times so far with no problem. Any time you are using a large wrench on plastic, tighten snug not tight. I bought my truck with 30,000. Now it has 96,000. So far only problem I have had was my Master Cylinder crapped out. (Wich I rare ) I have done brakes and rotors and changed the spark plugs at 75,000. So far all good.
@@KurtofTrades found a 2016 grand Cherokee v6 with white smoke coming out the exhaust only at start up but it goes away immediately. It doesn’t overheat
2014 Cherokee latitude 3.2 can't find were the dip stick bolt is, person on youtube show it but they don't take time making it clear, l need more clear view, Please help !!
Mines is a 2014 JGC Overland. I just changed my oil filter housing, thermostat, water pump, something else regarding the gas leaking on the driver's side, and now i have gas leaking from my passenger side. Any suggestions?
I have a 2015 V6 now with 93,000 plus miles. Thermostat housing cracked which is common. A 28 dollar replacement and TH-cam helped me replace it and save a ton of money. ** Make sure you replace it with the updated part to avoid the same issue. It's visibly beefier at the 90 degree bend. Also common, and now covered are the active headrests breaking and deploying. Most are lucky and aren't driving when it happens, unlike me. Suddenly having your head hit from behind while driving will scare the crap out of you. Pentastar Plastic strikes again here. The plastic that holds the locking pin is thin (cheap and brittle). It will break and headrest will deploy, even though the locking pin is still in locked position. Still, those really aren't so bad overall and I still love my Jeep. Given the price of the new ones, I'm happy to keep mine which is paid off.
On my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo V6, the back hatch window will no longer open. The hatch opens but not the window. Any suggestions on how to get it open or fix it? Thank you for any suggestions you may have.
I’m getting a code P0306 and I had my six spark plugs, changed along with my coil and the check engine light came back on three days after I left my mechanic. When I start my car every once in a while it’ll be rough for a split second and then it’s fine. What are your thoughts?
That’s one of the things my mechanic said may be the fuel injection. He actually told me to try putting some fuel injection cleaner in it first to see if that helps. I tried that and a couple days later the light came back on. Thanks for your time and advice.
I have a 2013 JGC overland summit 110k. Had several weird things happening intermittently. Recent Long crank, time on radio was stuck at 3:50, master window power switch stops working (i just unplug/replug the back to normal) and when reversing, the screen flickers. The dealer wants to replace all the parts I stated above. It sounds more electrical to me. So tomorrow I take it in for the ignition switch. Not ready to let let her go. Runs like new. Any ideas or suggestions?
We are the lucky ones we just purchased a 2017 jeep grand Cherokee limited with the luxury 2 package used with 60,000 miles one week of driving it odometer flashes lights flicker and the passenger window rolls down on its own now it’s sitting at the dealership waiting for it to get fixed Merry freaking Christmas
@PaapiA update it was a loose ground under the battery and the batteries are under the passenger seat it took the dealership 3 weeks to figure it out but ever since it's been a wonderful vehicle and my wife loves it
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo always kept up on maintenance done the motor mounts, spark plugs, shock struts that kind of stuff. Now I've got the rough idle, sometimes it's really rough. Tried looking for a MAF Sensor no luck all I found was the temperature and MAP sensor. Do these even have a MAF?
I have a wj 4.7 that is well looked after! It has developed a grumble in the rear, only for about 10seconds on a cold start! If I high idle, it doesn't make the noise, it's literally cold start only! I've taken everything out the car and had my mechanics look for something loose underneath! They can't find anything that is rubbing or loose that could vibrate! Could it be a fuel pump? Or evac system?
2016 Grand Cherokee Sunmit 3.6L 94k on it, never had an issue 🤞🤞 Rides great, i have it set to lower when i put it in park and raise when in drive. Its the same with a sunroof, if you dont uae it the gaskets get brittle.
2017 Laredo slight rattle in the front upon accelerating from a stop almost 140k miles I just replaced the thermostat the plugs and coil packs and vvt solenoid any ideas ?it’s like two cans rattling
2013 jeep cherokee laredo 3.6L 2wd. Replaced oil filter cap, rack and pinion, alternator, coolant temp sensor, oil cooler gasket. Still have to do starter since its going out slowly, and also wheel bearings.
I just bought a 2019 Cherokee limited. It has a rough idol and when I asked the sales guy he said it was normal. Is this normal? The idle is strong enough to feel it sitting in the car.
I have a 2014 Grand Cherokee with 136,000 miles on it, I have had none of these problems except the oil filler problem because a service guy over tightened it. Only brought it back to the dealer once to have a software update, the Jeep has been super reliable.
2011, thermostat code - replaced at 170,000. Motor mounts 65,000- replaced. Front drive CV boots ripped and both half shafts - 85,000 replaced. Right front brake locked up 90,000. Oil filter housing 120,000 -replaced. Driver side cams and both sides lifters, valve cover gaskets replaced - 180,000. Right rear caliper broken - replaced also. There are others I have forgotten, it gets routine service.
Just got a mint 2015 WK Limited with 109k. It’s been throwing a random P0420 code. No rhyme or reason to when after a reset, sometimes it’s 300 miles, sometimes 80 miles. Runs perfect but my scanner says a “stored” code. Thoughts?
Also listen for a ticking noise from the engine; that’s the lifters going bad. They fail at the bearings inside and just one going bad will scratch your camshaft. I had to replace two camshaft. By the way if you are doing this job, just go ahead and replace all lifters, oil cooler, hoses, sensors, spark plugs etc.
I've had a 2012 5.7 wk2 and currently have a 2019 5.7 wk2. Haven't had any of the items you brought up. Except on 2012 the steering rack was stating to leak/weep. I had that one for 8 years and no issues with quadralift leaking. Saying that they need to be replaced every couple years is bogus. I also had a problem with the auto door locks not functioning correctly on that one. On the 2019 the only problem so far is the uconnect freezing up and then rebooting sporadically.
Any idea why the TPMS system would be triggered despite all tires being inflated to factory recommend 36psi on a 2011 JGC? The light stays on and will sometimes blink and show that 1 of the 4 tires randomly is at 0psi even though that's not correct. It started acting up when I had a tire patched. Mechanic replaced a couple sensors, but it's still wonky.
2015 Grand Cherokee, Motor Mounts went out old rubber was cracking and started leaking grease/oil at 138,000 miles (8 years). Had massive Transmission issues at 4,000 miles and basically strong armed them to drop in a new transmission and visually watched. After that, its been normal wear and tear.
My cousins 2011 jeep grand Cherokee Laredo is randomly shutting off when sitting at a stop but hasn't turned on any whoring lights and the dash! Are there any issues that you know of that could be causing this problem?
The Blend door actuator is a PAIN to get out! Specifically the passenger side one, I did it myself and that one screw on the back of the actuator, make sure you have that small socket wrench!!
I've read the solenoids are common issues. I got a #2 misfire, but after replacing it and reading more about it, looks like it may actually be the solenoid? Any advise with this issue?
I have a 2012 WK2 overland with the hemi i bought used, recently hit 100k. The water pump and both motor mounts have been replaced. There's a hard thump when going into park, aside from that she runs great. I added an external oil cooler as we tow our 5k+ travel trailer frequently into the high country and take her off roading often. With the air suspension and limited slip diff, I'm able to do some more of the difficult trails I used to do in my gladiator. Comfortable all around capable vehicle, happy with it so far. Great video.
I have a question my dad was driving my jeep and he heard a pop sound coming from the passenger side and when he look out it was red fluid on the floor do u know what is the problem my jeep won't drive now because of that
I have a 2018 Grand Cherokee Laredo got it brand new in 2018 I have had it for five years I don’t drive it often it only has 25K miles on it but I have four recalls to take care of, the passenger door all of sudden started to yellow in the white paint, the AC is making a weird noise when it’s on, the window failed in the passenger, the tires don’t seem to handle any slight slippery moments it just seems like it can’t handle anything? I treat this car like gold too I’m surprised never had this many issues this early I live in a nice area don’t go many places so I’m surprised
The oil cooler fails by itself. It is not necessary to over torque the filter. Mine failed where the inner passages collapsed and mixed oil with coolant. They fail on the mating surface between the cooler housing and the engine. Mine was leaking and had no cracks near the filter area. I got lucky and caught in time. Changing it is not a big deal. Biggest change if finding an inch lb torque wrench at a store; just order one online.
I have a 2016 grand Jeep Cherokee and when I am driving, it starts to shake. The engine light comes on. The auto start. Light comes on and I have had my spark plugs changed. I have had a new injector put in. I’m on the road now I’ve had this problemfor a while now I have 189,000 miles. Thank you for your time.
14 Summit. 92,××× miles. I have 2 of the issues you mentioned. (Corrosion on edge of hood,pealing chrome on cup holders) but also had replace adio head unit. It was locking up for the first mile or 2 after start-up. Retaining tabs on front brake pads rusted off, causing rattle over bumps.
Currently dealing with coolant leakage. Mechanic said there was a crack in the radiator. Replaced it. Two weeks later it started leaking coolant again. This time they said it was the water pump. They replaced it. Within days it was leaking again. Mechanic said it was the coolant reservoir leaking. They replaced it. One day later it was leaking again. Now they’re saying it could be a head gasket or cracked heads, or worst case scenario: cracked engine block. I’ve lived this as my daily driver and when off-reading and camping, but I will never by Jeep again.
I have a 2020 jeep grand cherokee limited 40k miles I am having a problem filling gas at gas station even using the nozzle up side down any ideas how to fix this problem? please anything might help thanks
I just purchased a 2019 Altitude. I was concerned about the transmission because of the occasional weird shifting between 1 and 2. It doesn't feel like it's F'd, but I didn't think it was normal. Now I know.
2012 5.7 oil pan gasket leaks. Dealer says 1600 bucks to fix it, it’s a 4x4 and they gotta drop the front axle. Now my’04 WJ 4.7 needs a transmission too.

my wife has a 2015 JGC Limited 3.6 with 110K miles, we bought it brand new. We have had some issues but nothing worth mentioning. Based on mileage and dealer's recommendation, I've been doing some preventive maintenance; idler pulley, tensioner pulley, harmonic balancer, belt, thermostat, water pump, starter, motor mounts. Soon I will be doing the rocker arms. All in all its a great SUV, the engine still running very strong without showing any signs of slowing down. I'm hoping to keep it for another 10yrs.
Is it necessary to replace timing belt at some point ? Or it’s a chain ?
Yup, 2014 Limited with 60K miles. Replaced the thermostat and both motor mounts leaked out long ago. Doesn't seem too matter, however. I needed to replace the battery today after 10 years. Under the seat is a stupid place for a battery, but I had no trouble, thanks to good TH-cam videos. Thanks.
Wow, thank you! Great video! I have a 2012 overland. I’ve had ( or still have) most of the issues you mention! The rough morning shift is one that I’ve been concerned about… but no longer concerned! Thank you!
You literally made my day! I have been struggling with that exact same oil leak for like 6 months now and could not track it down. Never thought to check to oil filter interface and that was exactly it! Thank you! I'm on my 3rd thermostat lol.. But easy and cheap fortunately.
I have the transmission shift issue from 1 to 2. It’s been happening so that’s how I ended up watching your video. My Jeep Grand Cherokee is a 2014 w/169k miles so she’s had her run. Great vehicle like you mention, other issues were the air not circulating but that was fixed a while back. Key fob battery as well. Thanks for sharing!
I bought a 12' Laredo new. Still have it, 140,000 miles. The thermostat got me as well as the air switch you spoke of. That one was $900. My starter recently went, another $900. Otherwise in 10 years it's been great. Drives like new, I've done tires a few times, got rear brakes. I plan to drive it another 100k. It's quiet and smooth, and it can handle 20 inches of snow even though it's got the base 4wd system. Best vehicle I've owned.
They are pretty great vehicles
I just bought a 2012 with 130,000 miles. Look they look great.
You garage that bad boy?
@@jonthompson8807 ha good question. Lived in in Illinois and did for 8.5 years. The past 1.5 I've lived in a townhome near the beach in FL with no garage so it will be interesting to see how it does. I wax it 2 times a year and no more show so that's good, but the ocean and heat will be a test. Looks good still
Yup they are tanks in snow and mud
We have 2012 V6 3.6L with 72K miles on it. The only thing that went bad was the thermostat. It is GREAT VEHICLE! No other problems. The best 4x4 SUV you can buy. Made in USA!
hi, did your jeep mark past the middle mark on your temperature marker with the bad waterpump?
Hey how is your jeep doing?
2019 Trailhawk here. Still waiting on my first problem, but so far about six years now of trouble-free driving.
I have the same...2019 Jeep GC Trailhawk, V8, with tow package. I have the air suspension system, and a couple of years ago, I got that warning message a couple of times, and it stopped working once, but I never had a single issue last winter, and it gets down to -45 C where I live. Got lucky I guess. Going into winter again now....big snow storm as I speak. Hope I have no issues with the air suspension.
@jackieu8209 If your air suspension has issues in freezing temperatures, it's almost always because there's moisture in the system. The moisture in the system can freeze and cause problems, but everything will work fine again once the temperature goes up above freezing again. The fix for this is to refill the air suspension with nitrogen and since nitrogen doesn't have any moisture in it, no more issues in freezing temperatures.
2012 GC OL. I had pretty much all the problem you discussed. I am not a handy man however I fixed both blenddoor actuators. Driver side was little difficult. Cost me under 100 dollar to fix. Dealer asked me 1800 dollar to fix. Lol. TH-cam has step by step instruction. Thanks for sharing. Love the comfort. I find this Jeep way more fun drive then my 2018 4Runner. I said comfort not reliability. Lol
if you remember which video that helped you replaced the driver blend door actuator.. i would LOVE the help! mine has been broken for like 2 years but i know how much the dealer wants to fix it and i cant pay that. thankfully i live in sunny cali and heat isnt a huge need in my part of the state
2011 - 208K miles....waterpump was replaced at 150k. I replaced the broken accuators (both) ~185K. youtube can help you with any fix needed. Still runs great!
Your actuators got that far? Wow. Barely got to 100k. 25 cent piece of plastic!
Really? I’ve got an opportunity to buy a 2011 Grand Cherokee from this old lady. Only drove it 32k miles.. Skeptical from what I’ve heard for the 2011 model year. Have you owned yours since new?
I’ve had my 2015 GC Lerado Blackhawk for 3 years now. It has 190,000 Kms on it. I’ve changed the oil filter housing (did it myself), changed the thermostat (myself), I think #4 coil and just recently changed all 24 rockers. Even with all that, I love this SUV it’s such a nice looking SUV, especially, black on black 😊
Have a grand Cherokee with the hemi- kept getting service 4wd system and was told it was very common that likely it needed a new transfer case. Was quoted 4grand for a used one and no guarantee that it wouldn’t have same issue. I took it to a transmission specialist who determined all that was needed was a transmission computer re-program. $1000 and zero issues since.
I swapped my air ride on my 2011 Overland for strut and shocks. Between compressor and air bags I was looking at almost 10K. I put in an after market system from Strutmasters for right at 1k. It does ride stiffer but it's an excellent suspension system. 3:46
I did the same thing
2016 Laredo E 4x2 purchased used in 2019 with 30k miles. 71k miles today 2/9/23 and other than synthetic oil changes every 8-10k miles (never even had to top off between changes) and engine/cabin filters, I haven't had to fix anything. I do need to change the key fob battery probably every 12-18 months and I also experience the rough 1-2 shift if I don't let it warm up and it's cold out. I've experienced this in other vehicles too so I'm not worried about that. Super reliable so far!
Even synthetic needs to be changed every 5000. Don’t do that 10k interval. Trust me. That’s a sales gimmick.
@@johndigenakis9725A sales gimmick would be to try to get you to come into the dealership every 5k miles for a $100 oil change. I check it every few thousand miles all the way close to 10k. The oil barely changes color and burns almost nothing. 87k miles today 7/4/24. The only thing I've had to do since my last post is new tires. To each their own.
About 88k miles today 7/17/24. No issues since my last comment on 2/9/23. I still go between 8-10k on synthetic oil changes. At that mileage interval, the oil still doesn't look all that dirty and is probably 85% full. The sales gimmick is changing your oil at its half life. The only way I can see needed more frequent oil changes is if you're always driving hard or if you basically drive it like a fleet vehicle, lots of stop and go.
Don't forget about heater core failure that's pretty deadly the whole dash has to come out.... I'm from a Jeep dealership
Yup I had that happen to me
How much does it cost to change the heater core
2014 Laredo 4x4 with 94k miles. Replaced transmission under warranty after 60k miles. Recently had to replace starter and flywheel. Blend door issue, and about every 2 years the a/c fuse melts. But overall, has been an awesome vehicle and still runs smooth
Man I have a 2021 and have had my transmission replaced twice! I have only 27k miles on it
Thanks!
Wow thanks! Very appreciative, glad I could help!
I'm on my second, really love to drive these Jeeps. My 2011 V6 Laredo other than factory recalls done, changed the blend door on passenger side, tight access but certainly easy. Although was experiencing a weird rear brake problem, on occasion the rear brake would grab and heat up. Was going to change the body to caliper hose, but traded in before. I found that if you change the oil filter (easiest of any car !) was to change the seal which usually comes with the filter to prevent leakage. My 2016 392 SRT has been good also, changed the water pump and themostat , had a shock go under warranty, but other wise has been pretty good. The Carbon fiber trim pieces typically start to warp, but I believe they have an extended warranty due to being a common problem. Otherwise I really enjoy driving these vehicles!!
The fuel pump relay was a recall. It is part of the tipm. The recall put in a relay external to the tipm. I had the replaced relay also quit. Only a $4 DIY fix though.
I'm having a problem now where the engine will start and stall a few seconds later. You have to push the button to turn the ignition off to attempt a restart. If you just keep your foot on the brake and try to restart it the engine will crank but not start. I've been told the fix is to either remove the start button and use the key inside the fob or replace the ECM. Mine has been doing this occasionally for a few months but it always ends up starting and staying running. It happens hot or cold, in all kinds of weather. The security system that the fob connects to loses contact as it transitions from starting to staying running. I found holding the fob near the start button helps.
Having this promblem with the cranking now trying to figure out the issue with that but no check engine light to determine
I do a have a 2011 Grand Cherokee with the V6 and just shy of 210,000 miles. I did have to repair the air vent selector, big job and not cheap, but I have not experienced any of the other problems you mentioned except for the thermostat, twice. One issue that bothered me was the failure of the calipers, twice, and that happened suddenly on long trips, and I did not have a great time getting home. Overall, it's a great car, the interior and exterior are basically brand new, no rattles when driving and no issues with the hood. Very comfortable, fairly quiet and a great V6. I have the old 5 speed tranny, still working well, some "hiccups" when cold but no slipping and changing gears without problems. Will I get to 300,000? Time will tell!
2011 5.7 hemi with 225k miles..... blend door problem is a real pain. Replaced water pump, brake diaphram, a head light and have that hood bubbled paint. Sometimes have to use the key fob in the dashboard to start the engine. It acts like an alarm issue or a fob battery is bad. The tranny gets over 200 deg. F when towing my boat over 100 miles. I'm afraid to trade it in for a newer one as it runs well.
I have a 2014 limited and the things I experienced before it reached 90k I had to replace, transfer case sensor, ABS sensor, valve cover gaskets, thermostat, radio replaced twice, transmission went out, radiator leaked because its made of plastic, I go thru brake pads and rotors every three years and I use ceramic pads. I have 95k on it and we replaced spark plugs and coil packs. Despite having these gremlins and wear and tear items, I'm still keeping it.
Platinum plugs don't need replacing for 100,000 miles. Used NGK recommended for the 5.7L engine.
Mine 2015 and recently needed oil cooler replaced and thermostat. Great video. Thanks
2012 Hemi Overland w 122k- Air suspension line leak and then compressor failure, motor mounts, water pump, leaking steering rack, 2 broken exhaust manifold bolts, blend door motor failure
5 out of 6 I mentioned in the video not too shabby!
I have a 17 Limited with 89k miles and water pump has been replaced twice before replacing the engine mount at 80k miles and the radio volume knob pretty much melted/sticky. Other than those few issues I love my Jeep but will probably trade in closer to 100k....Great video!
I have a 2016 GC and have the same issue with sticky, melted door knobs.
We're you able to find a decent replacement knob
I have a 2018 Grand Cherokee Limited 3.6L. I recently noticed a little rumble feel at idle (60,000 miles). I changed the spark plugs, cleaned the throttle body, new intake filter, checked all vacuum lines and replaced the vapor return solenoid. I didn't see any liquid coming from the motor mounts.
Was that the fix?
Excellent video and super accurate. I have a 2015 Grand Cherokee. 174k. I have experienced %90 of what you mentioned…..now off to check the engine mounts 😢
I’ve own a 12 grand Cherokee for about 8 years now. 195k on the dash, I’ve had the thermostat problem like you. A few others been the headlight and blinker plugs.
my top 5 Issues I've had with my 2014 GC
1. Warn rocker arms, causing that ticking sound.
2. Thermostat
3. Driver Side Blend Door Actuator.
4. Transmission cooling lines broke off
5. Service shifter message.
Is it necessary to replace timing belt at some point ? Or it’s a chain ?
Chain
What would be some overheating problems? For a 2011 Jeep grand Cherokee
My first heated seated seats stopped working replaced the fuse still not working checked the connections as well. It's a 2014 jeep grand Cherokee limited
Same here 2014 driver seat not working
I have a 2014 WK2 Overland V8, it has had a water pump go at 80,000kms and the fuel door release needed fixing. Other than that it has had no other issues and currently has 145,00kms.
Ours has had 3 water pumps
@@steveking4203Maybe you’re using the wrong coolant
That’s funny, my fuel door release has been not working for a few years. Cheap solution, I use a magnetic chip bag clip. I put the magnet on the fuel door and put the handle of the chip clip so it
Closes on the flat of the gas cap. Works perfect 👍
2014 Jeep GC V6 here, 90k miles. Problems so far: bad thermostat (stuck open), leaking radiator, leaking drivers side motor mount, bad rocker arm leading to damaged crankshaft (aka Pentastar tick), leaking oil cooler assembly, bad oil pressure sensor, clunking driver side door hinge and squeaking rear suspension when temp is below 32 deg. I fixed all these problems myself (except for the squeaking rear suspension which I haven't been able to diagnose yet). If I had to pay someone to fix all these problems, it probably would have cost $6k. Its a really nice vehicle but you better be a decent mechanic and have a spare vehicle around. Thankfully I am and I do.
You mentioned rough idle. Mine is starting to do that now. It is a 2017 and has about 63K miles. It also shakes pretty badly when I am stopped and barely take pressure off of the brake to creep forward. It isnt thowing any codes but seemed to start after I had a fuel injector issue and had them replaced. Any ideas what causes this or what I can do to fix it?
What did you end up doing? Mine is idling.
Wife's 2008 Grand Cherokee has 76,000 miles and has the same hood problem. Transfer box just replaced. Brake problems, CPU problem and leaking power steering pump and radiator. Blown cylinder head gasket. Starter replaced. Key fob problem which disabled the Jeep when you were out for the day. Looks like Jeep has never stopped with their problems. Extended warranty helps but not completely. The interior is all leather and very well done except the radio which has gone out twice.
Awesome video bud. I have a 2015 Cherokee latitude. Jerks randomly while driving. What are your thoughts??
I just bought a 2021 Grand Cherokee Laredo with less than 20k on it. When I go on rough gravel roads you can hear f - r suspension clunking, yet when I put it on jacks I can't find anything loose.
Probably a stabilizer/sway bar link
Upper control arm likely.
Love the way these drive considering their capabilities. Glad these still have the tried and true V6 and 8 speed. This video is super helpful. Good to keep an eye on common issues. Only issue I had on my ‘19 so far is a failed/faulty fuel pump module that left me stranded on the freeway. Replaced under warranty at least.
2011 3.6 180k no problem ever.. except for the recalls that jeep took care of fuel pump relay brake booster all the recalls have been done and I’ve had absolutely no problems 180 thousand miles and I still get 22 mpg on 32 inch tires. Yes it is lifted 2 1/2 inches.
2014 grand Cherokee and my thermostat has recently been tripping check engine light and it eats coolant like it’s goin out of style can’t find any leaks anywhere. Just hit 90 thousand in it other wise been great vehicle no other issues. And as for key fob I have only had to replace mine twice in 4 yrs.
Probably just needs a new thermostat.
@Kurt of Trades thanks for response and yea im pretty sure that is what it is just dont feel comfortable messing with that thing like that. I can do a lot to my truck but it's a 2001 doesn't have all those electronics
Hi this video was really helpful. My problem is overheating and I have already changed my cylinder head. How do I find out what causes this problem. I live in west Africa, Sierra Leone
Mostly coolant thermostats, very simple to replace and $40 part.
I own a jeep 2021 Laredo, i parked in my house with foot brake on but forgot to put the gear selector to P, but left it unintentionally on N, and shut the car off. The next day I tried to start the car by first put the gear to P after I pressed the ignition and the gear went to P, but the car didn’t start rather started to act weird, lights start flashing etc. any experience with that. Thank you
I have laredo 2015... transmission replaced at 220 KM, I'm experiencing the rough shifting from 1st to 2nd gear you mentioned even with the new transmission, its really annoying issue... other than that, the car is awesome. I love it.
I have a 2015 JGC. My headlight isn't working. I changed out the ballast and bulb, even checked the fuses. What else should I check?
I have a 2012 grand Cherokee. Changed oil 12 times so far with no problem. Any time you are using a large wrench on plastic, tighten snug not tight. I bought my truck with 30,000. Now it has 96,000.
So far only problem I have had was my Master Cylinder crapped out. (Wich I rare ) I have done brakes and rotors and changed the spark plugs at 75,000. So far all good.
I have a 2012 laredo v6 4x4 and I believe the heads are warped and started over heating. Is there a recall that could possibly have them replaced?

2014 Cherokee latitude 3.2 can't find were the dip stick bolt is, person on youtube show it but they don't take time making it clear, l need more clear view, Please help !!
Mines is a 2014 JGC Overland. I just changed my oil filter housing, thermostat, water pump, something else regarding the gas leaking on the driver's side, and now i have gas leaking from my passenger side. Any suggestions?
I have a 2015 V6 now with 93,000 plus miles. Thermostat housing cracked which is common. A 28 dollar replacement and TH-cam helped me replace it and save a ton of money. ** Make sure you replace it with the updated part to avoid the same issue. It's visibly beefier at the 90 degree bend.
Also common, and now covered are the active headrests breaking and deploying. Most are lucky and aren't driving when it happens, unlike me. Suddenly having your head hit from behind while driving will scare the crap out of you. Pentastar Plastic strikes again here. The plastic that holds the locking pin is thin (cheap and brittle). It will break and headrest will deploy, even though the locking pin is still in locked position.
Still, those really aren't so bad overall and I still love my Jeep. Given the price of the new ones, I'm happy to keep mine which is paid off.
My headrest deployed while I was just sitting in the car, not driving lol. Still was unpleasant
On my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo V6, the back hatch window will no longer open. The hatch opens but not the window. Any suggestions on how to get it open or fix it? Thank you for any suggestions you may have.
alot of the electrical issues related to these year dodges and Chryslers are related to the T.I.P.M. module thats attached to the fuse block
I’m getting a code P0306 and I had my six spark plugs, changed along with my coil and the check engine light came back on three days after I left my mechanic. When I start my car every once in a while it’ll be rough for a split second and then it’s fine. What are your thoughts?
Injectors maybe? Hard to say, sounds like air or fuel problem
That’s one of the things my mechanic said may be the fuel injection. He actually told me to try putting some fuel injection cleaner in it first to see if that helps. I tried that and a couple days later the light came back on. Thanks for your time and advice.
I have a 2013 JGC overland summit 110k. Had several weird things happening intermittently. Recent Long crank, time on radio was stuck at 3:50, master window power switch stops working (i just unplug/replug the back to normal) and when reversing, the screen flickers. The dealer wants to replace all the parts I stated above. It sounds more electrical to me. So tomorrow I take it in for the ignition switch. Not ready to let let her go. Runs like new. Any ideas or suggestions?
Everything you said about the engine happened to my 2017 lol incredible
Im planning on buying a 2017 do you recommend me it?
We are the lucky ones we just purchased a 2017 jeep grand Cherokee limited with the luxury 2 package used with 60,000 miles one week of driving it odometer flashes lights flicker and the passenger window rolls down on its own now it’s sitting at the dealership waiting for it to get fixed Merry freaking Christmas
Im about to buy a 2017 one you don’t recommend me it ?
@PaapiA update it was a loose ground under the battery and the batteries are under the passenger seat it took the dealership 3 weeks to figure it out but ever since it's been a wonderful vehicle and my wife loves it
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo always kept up on maintenance done the motor mounts, spark plugs, shock struts that kind of stuff. Now I've got the rough idle, sometimes it's really rough. Tried looking for a MAF Sensor no luck all I found was the temperature and MAP sensor. Do these even have a MAF?
Most likely do have one. Could just need to be cleaned or replaced. That’s possible. I would check for a vacuum leak too.
No MAF, just a MAP sensor
Excellent and very useful Information👍👍
Glad to help!
But how about gc overland 2016 ? I just bought it .. thanks ..
Pretty similar problems as the ones I mention
@@KurtofTrades thanks for your infomation brother ..
I have a wj 4.7 that is well looked after! It has developed a grumble in the rear, only for about 10seconds on a cold start! If I high idle, it doesn't make the noise, it's literally cold start only! I've taken everything out the car and had my mechanics look for something loose underneath! They can't find anything that is rubbing or loose that could vibrate! Could it be a fuel pump? Or evac system?
Exhaust bracket! All fixed!
2016 Grand Cherokee Sunmit 3.6L 94k on it, never had an issue 🤞🤞
Rides great, i have it set to lower when i put it in park and raise when in drive. Its the same with a sunroof, if you dont uae it the gaskets get brittle.
2017 Laredo slight rattle in the front upon accelerating from a stop almost 140k miles I just replaced the thermostat the plugs and coil packs and vvt solenoid any ideas ?it’s like two cans rattling
2013 jeep cherokee laredo 3.6L 2wd. Replaced oil filter cap, rack and pinion, alternator, coolant temp sensor, oil cooler gasket. Still have to do starter since its going out slowly, and also wheel bearings.
I just bought a 2019 Cherokee limited. It has a rough idol and when I asked the sales guy he said it was normal. Is this normal? The idle is strong enough to feel it sitting in the car.
No probably not
I have a 2014 Grand Cherokee with 136,000 miles on it, I have had none of these problems except the oil filler problem because a service guy over tightened it. Only brought it back to the dealer once to have a software update, the Jeep has been super reliable.
Did they make it right by over tightening?
Can you show how to fix the horn? The clips keep going bad and I can’t figure out how to access it! And I don’t want to pay to keep fixing it
2011, thermostat code - replaced at 170,000. Motor mounts 65,000- replaced. Front drive CV boots ripped and both half shafts - 85,000 replaced. Right front brake locked up 90,000. Oil filter housing 120,000 -replaced. Driver side cams and both sides lifters, valve cover gaskets replaced - 180,000. Right rear caliper broken - replaced also. There are others I have forgotten, it gets routine service.
Just got a mint 2015 WK Limited with 109k. It’s been throwing a random P0420 code. No rhyme or reason to when after a reset, sometimes it’s 300 miles, sometimes 80 miles. Runs perfect but my scanner says a “stored” code. Thoughts?
I have had four Grand Cherokees since 2004, never had a problem with any of them.
I guess you have not had them over 100, 000kms !
Also listen for a ticking noise from the engine; that’s the lifters going bad. They fail at the bearings inside and just one going bad will scratch your camshaft. I had to replace two camshaft. By the way if you are doing this job, just go ahead and replace all lifters, oil cooler, hoses, sensors, spark plugs etc.
I've had a 2012 5.7 wk2 and currently have a 2019 5.7 wk2. Haven't had any of the items you brought up. Except on 2012 the steering rack was stating to leak/weep. I had that one for 8 years and no issues with quadralift leaking. Saying that they need to be replaced every couple years is bogus. I also had a problem with the auto door locks not functioning correctly on that one. On the 2019 the only problem so far is the uconnect freezing up and then rebooting sporadically.
There’s a recall for that.. check with your dealer had ours fixed and hasn’t don’t it since
Just bought an 11 with the Hemi, the sun roof screen will not open up. What's the common problem?
Any idea why the TPMS system would be triggered despite all tires being inflated to factory recommend 36psi on a 2011 JGC? The light stays on and will sometimes blink and show that 1 of the 4 tires randomly is at 0psi even though that's not correct. It started acting up when I had a tire patched. Mechanic replaced a couple sensors, but it's still wonky.
2015 Grand Cherokee, Motor Mounts went out old rubber was cracking and started leaking grease/oil at 138,000 miles (8 years). Had massive Transmission issues at 4,000 miles and basically strong armed them to drop in a new transmission and visually watched. After that, its been normal wear and tear.
My cousins 2011 jeep grand Cherokee Laredo is randomly shutting off when sitting at a stop but hasn't turned on any whoring lights and the dash! Are there any issues that you know of that could be causing this problem?
2015 limited, stalls while driving randomly. Ended up being the lock up torque converter solenoid sticking and staying in overdrive stalling motor.
Great informative video bro!! Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!
2020 with 40k miles here - thermostat went at 40,800 miles. Temp gauge was fluctuating like crazy.
The Blend door actuator is a PAIN to get out! Specifically the passenger side one, I did it myself and that one screw on the back of the actuator, make sure you have that small socket wrench!!
I've read the solenoids are common issues. I got a #2 misfire, but after replacing it and reading more about it, looks like it may actually be the solenoid? Any advise with this issue?
2017 JGC 3.6L
I have a 2012 WK2 overland with the hemi i bought used, recently hit 100k. The water pump and both motor mounts have been replaced. There's a hard thump when going into park, aside from that she runs great.
I added an external oil cooler as we tow our 5k+ travel trailer frequently into the high country and take her off roading often. With the air suspension and limited slip diff, I'm able to do some more of the difficult trails I used to do in my gladiator. Comfortable all around capable vehicle, happy with it so far. Great video.
I have a question my dad was driving my jeep and he heard a pop sound coming from the passenger side and when he look out it was red fluid on the floor do u know what is the problem my jeep won't drive now because of that
I have a 2018 Grand Cherokee Laredo got it brand new in 2018 I have had it for five years I don’t drive it often it only has 25K miles on it but I have four recalls to take care of, the passenger door all of sudden started to yellow in the white paint, the AC is making a weird noise when it’s on, the window failed in the passenger, the tires don’t seem to handle any slight slippery moments it just seems like it can’t handle anything? I treat this car like gold too I’m surprised never had this many issues this early I live in a nice area don’t go many places so I’m surprised
The oil cooler fails by itself. It is not necessary to over torque the filter. Mine failed where the inner passages collapsed and mixed oil with coolant. They fail on the mating surface between the cooler housing and the engine. Mine was leaking and had no cracks near the filter area.
I got lucky and caught in time. Changing it is not a big deal. Biggest change if finding an inch lb torque wrench at a store; just order one online.
I have a 2016 grand Jeep Cherokee and when I am driving, it starts to shake. The engine light comes on. The auto start. Light comes on and I have had my spark plugs changed.

14 Summit. 92,××× miles. I have 2 of the issues you mentioned. (Corrosion on edge of hood,pealing chrome on cup holders) but also had replace adio head unit. It was locking up for the first mile or 2 after start-up. Retaining tabs on front brake pads rusted off, causing rattle over bumps.
Currently dealing with coolant leakage. Mechanic said there was a crack in the radiator. Replaced it. Two weeks later it started leaking coolant again. This time they said it was the water pump. They replaced it. Within days it was leaking again. Mechanic said it was the coolant reservoir leaking. They replaced it. One day later it was leaking again. Now they’re saying it could be a head gasket or cracked heads, or worst case scenario: cracked engine block. I’ve lived this as my daily driver and when off-reading and camping, but I will never by Jeep again.
I have a 2020 jeep grand cherokee limited 40k miles I am having a problem filling gas at gas station even using the nozzle up side down any ideas how to fix this problem? please anything might help thanks
Why exactly does oil leak into the coolant reservoir?
I just purchased a 2019 Altitude. I was concerned about the transmission because of the occasional weird shifting between 1 and 2. It doesn't feel like it's F'd, but I didn't think it was normal. Now I know.
2020 GC limited with 46k miles, bad body control module killed my headlights and horn , glad I purchased an extended warranty on it through the dealer
Do you only use e85 on your jeep ?
Haven’t used it once. It’s more expensive and have to fill up more often
Hello, does it matter if the label says E85, could we use 87 gasoline instead?
2012 5.7 oil pan gasket leaks. Dealer says 1600 bucks to fix it, it’s a 4x4 and they gotta drop the front axle. Now my’04 WJ 4.7 needs a transmission too.
