[QUOTE="Jerrad10, post: 464232, member: 26158"] Hey guys, purchased a Jeep over the weekend and looking for some help. I knew going into it, that there were going to be a few issues that would need to be taken care of but figured the price was right. The major problem I am running into right now is the overheating issue. The overheating seems to occur regardless of whether or not I am driving it, or letting it sit idle. Also, the heat/air does not seem to have an effect on it either, it will begin to overheat whether the AC is on, heat is on, or if the entire HVAC system is off. I did attempt to drive it to work this morning, just to see how bad it got within a 6 mile drive, and it did not go well. I ended up stopping twice on the way to let it cool off as the temp gauge got into the red. The first time I pulled over I noticed two things. One, I had lost break pressure, which I do not know how or if this is related. Two, there was excessive smoke bellowing out from under the hood. For further info, this is a 2012 Unlimited Sport with a 3.6L and automatic transmission. I guess my main question is where to start with the troubleshooting. Appreciate any feedback I can get from you guys [/QUOTE]
