Jeep Grand Cherokee

"The 4.0L engine has a known problem of the rear main seal leaking oil. This will happen about 80k miles and costs $800 to have repaired. In 45k miles I have had this fixed 2x. The valve cover gasket will leak. i repaired this myself."

"Oil began leaking from somewhere on the back of the engine. The issue we had was that there was enough oil leaking to drip onto the exhaust, causing a burning smell. This is also obviously a possible fire condition in theory. The mechanic found the leak, which was caused by the left valve cover gasket (V8) going bad, and it was a simple fix."

"The question is, where hasnt it leaked from? Every other oil change i've had to fix a leak, whether from the head gasket, rear main seal, or even just the oil pan, this thing leaks... a lot"

"I can smell oil after a long drive. I think it's leaking from the valve covers"

"The seals on the differential (rear axle) are leaking"

"The evaporator canister and bracket needed to be replaced. The bracket was mounded behind the rear bumper and was so corroded that the canister was dangling by its wires. There was no corrosion protection on the bracket so it just rotted away. Plus,"

"Engine light was on indicating evaporative emissions system. $300 later light is off"

"Kept getting warning code. Had to have a shop do a pressure test then replace a ECD pump."

"Engine started to overheat in July of 2019. Tried to remedy by clamping cracked hose. Took about 3 weeks to correct and replace radiator"

"The radiators on these older Grand Cherokees are partly made out of plastic. The plastic end of the radiator cracked slightly - it was hard to see and find, but it leaked whenever the engine had been running. Over time it became a bigger leak until it was replaced."

"Hood and rear area bubbled up with rust"

"The original rock rails that were on the Jeep ($750.00 each sine to replace) were never rust proofed by Jeep. Over time, they rotted away with rust and had to be removed. It is curious that this rust/rottedness was not discovered until after the exte"

"Window Trim on doors is rusting and lifting away"

"Jeep did not rust proof the rock rails. They rotted out over time from the inside, strategically just after the warranty expired! The bracket for the gasoline fume canister was also not rustproofed. It rotted away requiring removal of the entire rear bumper to replace at a cost of over $1000.00 for a part that probably cost 50 cents! Another reason I will never ever buy another Jeep."

"the valves were clogged and needed to be repaired"

"One cylinder stopped ignighting properly, inspection showed a build up of crud in all the cylinders. All had to be repaired"

"Leaking head gasket allowed coolant to leak into #8 cylinder and caused CEL for engine misfire. Dealer recommended major cylinder head overhaul for both sides at about $2600. I tried Dura-Seal st $140 and for 2500 miles everything has been fine"

"The ignition switch is like a $20 part, but you need to take the entire engine out to replace the switch which will cost almost $3000. So, we had our local mechanic install a bypass switch. The result is that the check engine light stays on and we can't get a state inspection sticker. No idea what we will do now. This check engine light issue related to the sticker is stupid!"

"Starter failed"
