What owners wrote
I follow all the recommended schedules of maintenance by the manufacturer and keep our jeep is good working order. My wife was driving our car and the car began to overheat and pulled off the road. She noticed immediately that a orange fluid was leaking from the engine area. The car was towed to the nearest dealership and they advised that a fan assembly just "fell to pieces" and resulted in the shroud being damaged and consequently - the car coolant overheated as well.
I bought my jeep grand cherokee in 2005 as a used vehicle with no know problems on my car fax report. Has only had one other owner. This is now the 4th time I have had to have the cooling fan relay replaced! Im sick of this and have heard from auto shops and dealers that this is a very common problem.... Jeep should do something about this. It seems to go out about every 6 months. I can't keep affording this. It is ridiculous.
