EMPTY COOLANT BOTTLE UPDATE

[Linda z.]

My mechanic pressure tested Jeep. No leaks. Not leaking into engine. I find that it only dissipates after long rides. Not around town. It's a mystery?

Hi Linda, I just read all posts on this and your original thread and truly feel sorry for you. However, PLEASE take it to an authorized Jeep dealer, preferably the one in your area that has the largest service department. There are too many variables for most non-factory authorized 'general mechanics' to be familiar enough with to trust their diagnosis. I was Service Director for one of the largest Mercedes dealers in the Western US (line tech a few years before that) and you would be shocked at the number of misdiagnosis we saw from 'reputable' independent repair shops. Just my 2 cents for what it's worth and do wish you a good outcome!

A blown head gasket will often not show with a cooling system pressure test. You need to test coolant and oil for traces of cross contamination. Exhaust gas can also be analyze. If the vehicle has a factory warranty left, take it to a Jeep dealer.

The loss of coolant only occurs when I take a long drive. Then it's down about half a cup. If this continues tomorrow going to leave it at the dealership and try to get it lemon lawed. Still under dealer warranty.
