A minor coolant leak became a major leak. It was difficult to see where the coolant was leaking from. It took a camera on a snake to see down in there to spot the leak on the oil cooler. The $2,000 cost of repair was mostly labor to get at the cooler. Less than 3 months later, the radiator blew out. Another $2,000 to have it towed to a garage where they said the root of the problem was probably a failed water pump, which may have also been the cause of the oil cooler failure and certainly the cause of overheating and blowing radiator. Now a year and a half after new water pump, new hoses, new radiator and all, it is leaking AGAIN. I have not yet found the source of this third problem.

Grand Cherokee Limited

Took the Jeep into the dealer due to the engine light being on and it was still under warranty at the time. They looked at it and said they couldn't find anything wrong with it and did something to turn the light off and charged us $100. The light came back on not long after. We ignored it for almost 3 years until we finally took it into an auto shop for another issue and asked about the engine light. Right away the guy said it was the radiator which had to be replaced, there was no fixing it. We replaced it and the engine light had never been on since.
