Customer Complaint

I received a call from a customer in Nashville about their 2015 Jeep Cherokee running hot and losing coolant. They were concerned about potential overheating and engine damage.

They mentioned:

  • Coolant leaking under the vehicle

  • Temperature gauge rising higher than normal

  • Sweet smell from the engine bay

  • Coolant level dropping frequently

These are common signs of a radiator issue.

Diagnosis Process

When I arrived, I performed a cooling system inspection.

Findings:

  • Radiator was leaking coolant

  • Signs of wear and deterioration

  • Cooling system unable to maintain proper pressure

  • No major issues found with hoses or thermostat at the time

The radiator is essential for regulating engine temperature, and once it fails, overheating can happen quickly.

The Repair

To restore proper cooling system performance, I replaced the radiator.

Steps performed:

  1. Drained the coolant system

  2. Removed the faulty radiator

  3. Installed a new radiator

  4. Reconnected hoses and components

  5. Refilled coolant with correct mixture

  6. Bled air from the system

  7. Tested for leaks and proper temperature operation

Total time on-site was about 2–3 hours.

Result

After the repair:

  • Coolant leak was resolved

  • Engine temperature stabilized

  • Cooling system operated properly

  • No signs of overheating

The customer avoided potential engine damage by addressing the issue promptly.

Why Radiators Fail

Radiators can fail due to:

  • Age and heat cycles

  • Cracks or physical damage

  • Internal corrosion

When they fail, they can cause:

  • Coolant leaks

  • Engine overheating

  • Loss of cooling system pressure
