Description of the problem	My 2005 jeep grand cherokee(4. 7) with 58,000 miles overheated and stalled as i was pulling a small cargo trailer. The jeep is equipped with a transmission cooler and up until this incident i've had no overheating problems. When i popped the hood there was coolant every where. The jeep was towed to service garage and was diagnosed with a failed water pump. The day i picked up my "fixed" jeep i noticed a strange sound coming from the engine ... I took the jeep back to my service garage and they told me my a/c compressor was failing and upon checking with the local parts supplier, my mechanic told me he could not buy a replacement compressor ... I must go to a jeep dealer. I did and was told there was a national back order and i would have to wait at least 3 weeks for a replacement. Keep in mind the engine has one belt, so at any time the compressor could freeze up and i would not be able to drive the vehicle once the belt broke. I did a lot of phone calling and found a compressor in illinois .. It was delivered and installed for $550. 00. So, within a week i spent over $900. 00 for repairs. The jeep was a dealer demo, so i was out of warranty even though i bought the jeep with less than 1,000 miles on it.
