Problems To Look For With The Jeep Grand Cherokee

1.Fluid Leaks

Oil

The Grand Cherokee will likely experience some form of oil leak which may happen in a few locations. These leaks will likely come from valve cover gaskets, intake manifold gaskets, or rear crankshaft seal.

Transmission

High mileage transmissions are the most common to leak. This fluid will be red or green and will leave a puddle underneath your car. It is important to have this checked out immediately as permanent damage to the transmission is likely if left unrepaired.

Power steering

These leaks will come from swollen hoses, rusted fittings, rack and pinion seals, and the power steering pump. This will cause stiff steering and whining noises.

2.Air Conditioning

The Grand Cherokee just like any other vehicle can suffer from a number of issues that cause the AC not to work. It’s best to let a professional take a look and pinpoint the issue.

3.Electrical

Unfortunately a variety of electrical issues do come up and the items below are the most common we’ve come to expect.

Modules

Modules are various computers on your vehicle that send information from system to system. For example you may experience issues with your driver door that don’t allow doors to unlock or windows to open and close.

Tail Lights

Although taillights do go out on every car from time to time, we have noticed that Jeep electrical issues lead to higher than usual amount of outages.
