Why? Are they bad?

Was the first one replaced with the same model radiator? If so it sounds like a design defect and there may be a class action settlement going on somewhere.

I'm sorry about your car Erica..



I was fortunate with my old Nissan Altima not to have had any major issues in the nine years I owned it.

Man, auto parts and repairs are expensive these days. My Jetta is older than your Cherokee, but I haven't had any major repairs on it so far. I know  they are coming. Unless I trade it in before that happens.

Fortunately, I have a good mechanic. Same guy for nearly ten years.

The price is not out of line with what other shops would charge. Not in 2023.

My parents bought 4 American cars since we moved to Canada, 2 of them have serious QC issues, our first 2 GM cars, if it's not the digital dashboard goes black, the door occasionally swings open while making a turn or the brakes stops working all of a sudden, lol.

The brakes stop working all of a sudden? That would happen once and I would have it towed to the dealer where I bought the car and get it fixed.

Yea lol, it nearly got my brother into an accident, lol luckily he was on the highway instead of the city and he used the hand brakes to stop the car.  Now I just stick to Japanese cars to avoid the risk and headaches, lol.

I have owned a number of American made vehicles and I never had the brakes fail suddenly. If they wear down, you will hear them. But, suddenly. That means an immediate trip back to the dealership.

I only remember the dealer was able to fix it in the end since we kept on driving that Oldsmobile, this happened when I was 7 or 8 years old and can't remember the cause for the brakes to fail.  I have nothing against US cars, but just tired of the socialist government bail out policies that keeps destroying incentive for American companies to improve.  ac_unsure

That must have been a long time ago. I think the last Oldsmobile model ended production twenty years ago. I agree wholeheartedly about the socialist bailouts of automakers.

I got a Jeep Wrangler. I've put in 2 radiators myself. Cost was roughly $100-$200 for a radiator. Had to put one in at roughly 150,000 miles each time. My Jeep has 386,000 miles on it lol.

Heck, last time I replaced the radiator, I also replaced the thermostat and hoses like last time, but this time I also replaced the water pump and clutch fan. Basically the whole cooling system lol.



Hopefully painting the Jeep this year. I know I gotta replace the front brakes.



This past weekend, I patched my seat. Was mostly gone on the side from getting in and out, no cushion, big open hole, down to the metal hahahaa. I sewed some thick fabric on, stuffed some pillow stuffing in, then closed it up. Looks and feels WAY better.

You put a lot of kms on your vehicle. My Jetta is eight years old and only has 89,000 kms on it or about 55,000 miles. That is the perk of having my office close to where I live.
