05 grand cherokee, problems already?
Hey all, new to the site and to owning a Jeep. I'm not completely illiterate to mechanics however somethings stump me when first tracking down the problem. Here it would be-Jeep was purchased with 132,000 miles, it's an 05 laredo not limited. It has the 3.7. Now the Antifreeze coolant was empty few days after taking the jeep home. Filled it up, couldn't find any leaks, none from the water pump weep hole, none visible from the radiator/hoses and or lines? Since then filled it up 3 times, now waiting for it to drain wherever its going to fill it again. I'm not sure where to start, other then taking it to get pressure and compression tested. Also front end shakes when breaking, rotors and pads look fine-front driver side tire is missing a weight-plan on replacing and balancing that today. Hope it does the trick, any further information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks to all

After it's fully heated up, see is you still have moisture dripping out of the tailpipe.
The shaking while braking usually says a warped rotor.

No moisture dripping out, checked yesterday after a half hour ride or so. It was pretty dry. Yes I know, wasn't sure if the un balanced passanger side tire could have caused the vibration too, after all balancing tires are cheaper the buying rotors! However I feel like I'll have to go on and purchase a set of rotors before the snow hits us.

No signs so far, oil looks good and clean. No funny smells from it. Im trying to avoid taking it to a shop, simply because I don't overly trust mechanics after so many horror stories.
