Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks at the master cylinder, brake lines, or wheel cylinders, leading to reduced braking performance.

Brake pedal feels spongy

Air in the brake lines can cause a soft or spongy brake pedal, reducing braking efficiency.

Brake pads and rotors wear

Over time, brake pads and rotors wear down and need regular inspection and replacement to maintain effective braking.

Engine overheating

In-Line 6-cylinder engines in older models like the 1999 Jeep Cherokee can suffer from cooling system issues such as a failing thermostat, radiator, or water pump.

Oil leaks

Common in older engines, oil leaks can occur from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or rear main seals.

Rough idling or misfires

Issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors can cause rough idling or misfires in the engine.

Vacuum leaks

Vacuum leaks in the intake manifold or vacuum hoses can lead to poor engine performance and fuel economy.

Transmission problems

The 1999 Jeep Cherokee can experience transmission issues such as slipping, hard shifting, or failure due to worn components or low fluid levels.

Electrical issues

Older vehicles often face electrical problems, including faulty alternators, starter motors, or wiring issues that can cause various malfunctions.

Suspension wear

Components like ball joints, control arm bushings, and shock absorbers may wear out over time, leading to poor handling and ride quality.
