| Low oil pressure: i change my oil as specified in manual. now all of a sudden i have a drop in oil pressure. when driving the jeep my oil pressure is now at no more than 25psi and it drops to zero when idle. on my last oil change i had the engine checked and there were no cracks and no misfire. i had a tune up done on the vehicle in sept 2008. engine and everything was running fine. as for that day i have to get the jeep to mechanic to take a look. this past summer the jeep also would over heat in 90 degree weather and it mostly happened when the ac was turned on. took it mechanic and couldn't find anything wrong we replaced the thermostat with a lower temp and seemed to fix the problem. then about 2 days later the jeep started to overheat again. replaced the relay as it tested bad. while replacing the relay the fan broke. the blades completely separated from the fan motor in a whole piece. replaced fan. never thought i had any coolant leaks and never found any but the coolant will not stay in the reservoir. it just disappears. i had the engine inspected again and no cracks and the oil appeared to be fine. there are thousands of complaints for this what is going to be done? anything? it's not like i can afford anew car or thousands in parts and labor. also have other issues i well 1st another complaint for the electrical issues. *tr | |||

| Bought vehicle new and performed regular maintenance. had to replace brake rotors at 62,000. at 78,000 miles engine overheated; verified fan, radiator, and water pump in working order and replaced thermostat and temperature sensor. engine continued to overheat with unexplained coolant loss. no leakage and clean oil. replaced head gasket anyway and noticed no cracks in head. still runs hot and loses coolant somehow. at 80,000 miles engine developed miss after replacing coil and checking fuel and firing systems removed head again and pulled lifters. bottom of one lifter was ground off resulting in some wear of cam lobe. replaced lifters and valve springs. fixed engine miss. at 82,000 miles oil gauge showed 80 pounds of oil pressure until engine totally warm then dropped to 40 lbs. also showed 40 lbs when keyed moved to on position with engine not running. replaced oil pressure sending unit. now engine runs 40-45 lbs when cold and drops to 10 lbs when running after totally warm. when stopping at lights after driving with warm engine, oil pressure drops to 0 and check gauges light comes on. purchased a high volume oil pump and will see if this corrects that problem. this is totally unacceptable for a vehicle with 83,000 miles that was purchased new and well maintained. furthermore when checking with other owners these problems and more seem to be common for this year/model. *tr | |||

| Engine was knocking, check engine light came on, diagonistic test showed 6th cylinder was misfiring lifter was damaged. the camshaft was replaced as well as the lifters and headgasket. i do not understand how a 2000 vehicle with only 81000 kms needs $2000.00 worth of repairs done. the dealer also advised me that he can't understand how this is required either. he advised me to call 1-800- 465-2001 to voice my complaint. he also gave me the old part to send back to chrysler. the 1-800 # i called advised me that they will put my inforamtion in my file, but they could not do anything else for me nor did they want the part. i would like feed back on this complaint as i am not happy with my experiences with chrysler thus far. are the parts they are using to build these vehicles not up to par? ???? | |||

| Severe brake problems with 2000 jeep cherokee. *mr there was an ongoing braking problem and difficulty diagnosing the problem. the problem was thought to be the rotors which were cut and replaced (the front pads). the problem still continued. then the front rotors were diagnosed as being warped and the brakes were 50% worn. there was a tapping noise in the shifting area as well as a rubbing noise in the steering column that comes and goes. (unable to diagnose) the vehicle had been diagnose as the rear brake drums being out of round. the water pump leaked and was replaced along with the thermostat. the comsumer requested a refund *scc *jb | |||

| I am the owner of a 2000 jeep cherokee classic with a 4.l 6cylinder engine. i am the second owner of this jeep with 102,000 miles.all services always done on time, oil, brakes,flushes, fluids, ect. my oil pressure dropped one day while driving and my antifreeze started disappearing. i went to have the car looked at by a repair shop they told me the cylinder head between the 3rd and the 4th cylinder had a crack in it. i was also told it is a known problem by jeep and it was due to defective machines that made the cylinder heads. i looked online and found over 10,234 blogs about this problem. so i went to a jeep dealer thinking it should be a recall or defective part recall and jeep is saying there is nothing they can do about it it will cost me 3200.00 dollars. i feel this many defective parts all with ( exact )same problem should be a major concern. *tr | |||

| On december 17th of 2003, i brought my 200 jeep cherokee in for service at a local auto shop. he discovered through a diagnostic check that the engine was skipping on # 3 and # 5 cylinder. they replaced the engine coil pack and spark plugs. the vehicle at that time had 89,941 miles on it. on january 31st of 2006, that same jeep was brought to the shop again with a skip in the engine. it was also determined through a diagnostic machine that the same problem was occurring. this time the engine had 126,350 miles on it. that is less than 40k miles in 25 months. i am not sure what the warranty is on this unit, but it would be greatly appreciated if someone could look into this manner. i have spent almost $600 in 2 years for the same problem. there must be some sort of an issue. please let me know. *jb | |||

| My vehicle has been losing coolant for quite some time. it has relatively low mileage to have head problems, but i now have coolant in my oil. i have done some research and found that daimler-chrysler used 0331 cast heads on this model cherokee (2000 w/ 4.0l engine). it turns out that these heads were a poor cast allowing cracks to form near the #3 cylinder area allowing coolant to flow into the oil. this results in a drop in oil pressure and eventually bearing and engine failure. i consider myself somewhat lucky that i discovered this problem before the engine seized up on me, however i am now looking at over $1000 in repairs that should not be necessary for a vehicle with just over 50k miles. i am very disappointed since i believed jeeps to be reliably built vehicles. i sincerely hope that someone from daimler-chrysler will read this and rectify the situation before the engine failure leads to an accident or death. *jb | |||

| Bought car used w/49,000mi. as soon as i got it on the road, i noticed the check gauges light illuminated at a warm idle, only to find my oil pressure guage pegged at 0 psi. did research on the web and apparently the 0331 cast breed of cylinder heads that dc used in 2000-2001 xj's are noted for cracking after an overheat. sure enough the vehicle had a crack in the cylinder head, which caused coolant to mix into the engine oil. consequently, my main, rod and camshaft bearings, as well as the cylinder head itself had to be replaced. long story short, there are several complaints out there exactly like this one, do research before you buy any cherokee from this era using the 0331 heads. unfortunately, dc never stepped up to the plate and offered a recall. caveat emptor! | |||

| 2000 jeep cherokee engine stopped without warning.***no answer required***. *mr there was a hole in the piston. after the dealer inspected the vehicle, they stated there was not enough coolant in the system which caused the front frost plug heater to come out and that the no 1 and 2 piston melted down. the consumer had to replace the engine with only 42,000 miles on the vehicle. the rotors were replaced twice. the rubber around all four doors shrunk to the point that wind and water would come through. periodically, when the vehicle was locked the headlights and taillights would come on and go off for a few minutes. the chrome on the wheels was corroded and coming off. the front passenger electric lock was making a strange noise when the doors were lock or unlocked. *jb | |||

| I purchased my 2000 jeep cherokee from lehmers jeep in concord, california in the spring of 2000. ive had all the servicing done there as suggested. i take care of my car and drive it gently. in august of this year, during the week prior to my scheduled 60,000 mile servicing the car overheated twice. i immediately pulled over and let the car cool off. when the car was serviced the block was cracked, the water pump had malfunctioned. the service department replaced the block and told me that it was replaced with an improved block as the original one was known to crack easily. the bill for service and replacing the cracked block was $3364.19. i believe that i should be reimbursed for the cost of replacing the block. it was known to be defective. i have had all my servicing done at lehmers jeep per their schedule. i requested reimbursement from the daimler chrysler customer assistance center but was refused. | |||

| At 7200 miles the engine check light went on flashing. this happened 2 more time over last winter. each time the spark plugs are fouled and replaced, the computer reports misfiring in the engine. then in july my car went on fire after driving 6 miles to the store. i parked my car went into the store only to be called out 5 min later that my car was on fire. the fire department had to break into the car because the hood release was burnt. chrysler said it was a rodent that chewed the fuel injector harness. now i'm out my insurance deductible and additional rental car charges. then 2/1/02 after driving to work 7 mile my car again went on fire after parking. this time my boyfriend heard a crackling sound and saw smoke when he stopped and pulled the hood release, saw flames and throw snow on it to put it out. it's still in the dealing waiting to see what chrysler has to say now.*ak | |||
