ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
I HAVE TALKED TO VARIOUS JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS AND RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 4.0 LITER CHEROKEE. I THINK IT IS A HEALTH RELATED ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THE CO2 GASES ARE LEAKING OUT UNDER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND COULD ENTER INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE.
