2014 Jeep Wrangler complaints

OIL COOLER HOUSING CRACKED. THIS OCCURRED AT LESS THAN 51,000. WE WERE LUCKY THAT IT HAPPENED IN OUR GARAGE RATHER THEN WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE OIL LEAK AND HAD TO BE TOWED FOR REPAIRS. IF WE HAD BEEN DRIVING IT COULD HAVE CAUSED ENGINE FAILURE. COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BUT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON THEME WITH THE 2014S.

BOUGHT MY 2014 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT IN APRIL 2017, IT HAS A LITTLE OVER 44,000 MILES. I NOTICED A SMELL OF BURNT OIL, I HAVENT CHANGED THE OIL RECENTLY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT APPEARS AS THE OIL FILTER HOUSING ADAPTER IS CRACKED. IDENTIFIED AS PART NUMBER 68105583AA. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE, AND ACCORDING TO THE FORUMS I HAVE READ A CONTINUING PROBLEM. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS? MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS REPLACED THE PART WITH PART 68105583AE. NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER. I HATE TO SPEND ALMOST 30,000 DOLLARS AND HAVE TO REPAIR IT AFTER DRIVINF IT 7,000 MILES. COMPLETE DISSAPOINTMENT.

AFTER ONLY 50K MILES MAJOR OIL LEAK FROM OIL COOLER HOUSING. DEALERSHIP DOESN'T WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE ONGOING ISSUES WITH 1000 OTHER OWNERS REPORTING SAME THING. RECLL NEEDED. LARGE PUDDLING UNDER JEEP AFTER BEING DRIVEN

TAKATA RECALL VEHICLE WAS IN PARK NOTICED OIL DROPS ON CONCRETE INSPECTION UNDER THE JEEP SHOWED NO LEAKS WENT TO JEEP FORUM DISCOVERED LEAK WAS AT TOP, THE PLASTIC OIL COOLER WAS THE PROBLEM, OIL DRIPS DOWN INTO A V TYPE RESERVOIR SO THEREFORE WHEN YOU TAKE OFF AT THE RESERVOIR FULL OF OIL NOW BLOWS ALL UNDER THE MOTOR. WENT ON TO JEEP FORUM AND NOTICED THAT THE COMPLAINT HAD BEEN DONE NUMEROUS TIMES BY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHERE THE PART BEFORE USED TO BE MADE OUT OF METAL WAS NOW BEING MADE OUT OF PLASTIC SO THE PART IS FAULTY AND NEEDS LOOKED INTO THANK YOU

THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE FRONT SWAY BAR CAME OUT OF THE ELECTRONIC SWAY BAR DISCONNECT HOUSING WHICH DISCONNECTED THE SWAY BAR UNKNOWINGLY AND UNINTENTIONALLY, CAUSING AN EXTREMELY UNSTABLE DRIVING CONDITION. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF THE OCCURRENCE AS FAR AS WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH. THE ONLY WAY IT WAS DISCOVERED WAS BECAUSE I ASSUMED THE SPRINGS OR SHOCKS WERE WORN OUT TO CAUSE THE CONDITION. WHILE REPLACING THE FRONT SHOCKS, I NOTICED THE SWAY BAR WAS PULLED OUT OF THE HOUSING. WE HAD NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS ON THE FREEWAY WITH NEAR ROLL OVERS DUE TO THIS CONDITION. THE MANUAL STATES YOU SHOULD NEVER EXCEED SPEEDS OF 18 MPH WHEN SWAY BAR IS DISCONNECTED. HOWEVER, WE HAD BEEN ON NUMEROUS TRIPS TRAVELLING ON THE FREEWAY AT SPEEDS OF 80 MPH. I CONTACTED JEEP REPEATEDLY AND WAS JUST TOLD IT WAS A "NON-SERVICABLE" PART, AND TO REPLACE IT, AT AN APPROXIMATE COST OF OVER $2000.00

OIL RUNNING DOWN THE BACK OF MY ENGINE 3.6 WITH 68000 MILES ON IT RUNNING AND SITTING IN DRIVE WAY ALSO ENGINE COOLENT OVER HEATS CHANGED THERMOSTAT DRAINED RADIATOR PUT NEW COOLENT IN STILL RUN HOT PAY A LOT OF MONEY TO BUY MY JEEP FOR THIS ?

CRACKED OIL COOLER RELEASED EXTREME AMOUNTS OF OIL INTO ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THROUGHOUT ENGINE AND UNDERCARRIAGE. THE OIL SPILL REPRESENTS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR NOT ONLY ROAD/PAVEMENT SLIP HAZARD AND BRAKE CONTAMINATION BUT ALSO PRESENTS A FIRE HAZARD AS IT OCCURS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT NEAR ELECTRICAL AND HEATED ELEMENTS. AFTER SCHEDULING REPLACEMENT, PART IS OUT OF STOCK DUE TO HEAVY DEMAND FOR THIS PARTICULAR YEAR. AFTER CALLING MULTIPLE PART SUPPLIERS AND DEALERS IT APPEARS THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE IN THIS YEAR ONLY.

OIL LEAK COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE ENGINE - LOOKS TO BE UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED EVEN WITH SUFFICIENT AIR IN THE TIRES. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V632000 (TIRES) TO THE DEALER (BARNETT CHRYSLER JEEP, 3430 HWY 61 N, WHITE BEAR LAKE, MN) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO SUCH RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,000.

RADIATOR WAS LEAKING COOLANT, DEALER INSPECTED RADIATOR AND CONFIRMED LEAK COMING FROM SIDES OF RADIATOR..I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ALL COST..AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH IT APPEARS THAT THE RADIATOR LEAKING IS A COMMON DEFECT PROBLEM WITH JEEP WRANGLER THEREFORE SHOULD BE REPLACED AND REPAIRED AT JEEPS EXSPENSE.

ENGINE LEAKS OIL FROM THE "OIL FILTER ADAPTER" THAT IS CRACKED. THE OIL LEAKS ONTO THE MANIFOLD AND GETS REALLY HOT CAUSING A BURNING SMELL. IT COULD POTENTIALLY SET A FIRE TO THE ENGINE. I NOTICED THIS BECAUSE OF THE STRONG BURNING SMELL AND THE WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE.

CORNER OF RADIATOR WAS LEAKING COOLANT, FOUND BY DEALERSHIP ON INSPECTION. NOTED BY THE DEALER AS A COMMON DEFECT FOR RADIATORS IN THIS MODEL RANGE AND THEY SEE IT A LOT.

LEAKING MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL FROM OIL FILTER/ COOLER HOUSING.. OIL SITS ON TOP OF MOTOR HUGE FIRE HAZARD.. LEAKS WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION.. I SMELLED BURNING OIL AND REALIZED MY JEEP WITH JUST 40.000 MILES AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WHEN I CHECKED THE OIL I WAS JUST OVER 2 QTS OF OIL LOW LUCKILY I NOTICED BEFORE THE ENGINE BLEW UP

I NOTICED MOTOR OIL LEAKING FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY VEHICLE WHILE PARKED. AFTER THE MECHANIC INSPECTED IT, IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE A LEAK IN OIL COOLER / FILTER HOUSING AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND SEVERAL CAR OWNERS WITH THE SAME DAMAGE IN JEEP VEHICLES BELOW 40K.

MAJOR OIL LEAK FROM THE OIL FILTER HOUSING. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND A FIRE HAZARD.

OIL FILTER HOUSING HAS CRACKED AT 36,000 MILES LEAKING OIL ON TOP OF MOTOR CREATING VERY HIGH RISK OF FIRE. HOUSING IS MADE OF PLASTIC SHOULD B RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH HOUSING MADE OF DIFFERENT MATERIAL THAT WONT CRACK . OIL LEAKS DOWN BACK OF MOTOR AN UNDERNEATH VEHICLE GETTING ON EXHAUST . THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING WITH MANY VEHICLES OF THIS MAKE AN YEAR MODEL 2014 . HOUSING JUST CRACKED HAD NOT BEEN WORKED ON HOUSING IS FAULTY BECAUSE OF TYPE OF MATERIAL IT IS MADE OF

MAJOR OIL LEAK AT OIL FILTER HOUSING. POOLING OF OIL ON ENGINE BLOCK AND LEAKING DOWN THE BACK OF ENGINE ON EXHAUST PIPE AND THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING. LEAKING OCCURS WHEN IN MOTION AND SITTING. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND FIRE HAZARD.

MY CLOCK SPRING HAS WENT OUT. JUST CURIOUS HOW THE 2014 JKU HAS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT NOT THE 2014 JK. I'VE ALSO BEEN READING ON NUMEROUS JEEP FORUMS THAT MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY DUE TO THIS.

TAKATA RECALL, MY CAR WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AT A SPEED APPROXIMATELY 45MPH. MY CAR WAS STOPPED 3RD ON THE RED LIGHT DRIVER SEAT BROKE OFF. NO AIR BAGS WAS ACTIVATED. MY QUESTION IS WHY? ALL PASSENGERS WAS SUSTAIN MAJOR INJURIES. NOW ALL BEEN UNDER DOCTORS SUPERVISION. THE DRIVER WHO IS REAR ENDED US FELL ASLEEP.

THE DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK ON THEIR OWN WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. THIS OCCURS MULTIPLE TIMES AT A TIME I.E. SEQUENCE USUALLY LOCK LOCK UNLOCK UNLOCK THEN REPEATS. THE JEEP IS USUALLY RUNNING.

ONE DAY AFTER LEAVING MY 9 HOUR SHIFT AT WORK, I WALKED UP TO MY JEEP AND COULD SEE THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG HAD DEPLOYED AT SOME POINT DURING THE DAY. NOT KNOWING MUCH ABOUT AIRBAGS I WALKED AROUND THE JEEP TO SEE IF IT BEEN HIT, NO DAMAGE OF ANY KIND. I'VE SINCE LEARNED THAT AIRBAGS DON'T DEPLOY ON PARKED VEHICLES UNLESS THEY ARE RUNNING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED (NEW) MY JEEP. THEY TOLD ME TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE SHOP AND THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE. AFTER ASKING ME IF THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN HIT, THEY SAID MAYBE A RABBIT OR SOME OTHER RODENT ATE THROUGH SOME WIRING. THEIR INVESTIGATION DID NOT UNCOVER ANYTHING (NO WIRING ISSUE, NO CODES, NOTHING) AND THEY WANTED TO CALL IN CHRYSLER ENGINEERING AND POSSIBLY AN INSPECTOR DUE TO THEIR ACCESS TO ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTIC CAPABILITIES. AFTER I ASKED FOR A LOANER VEHICLE SINCE THIS WAS NOW GOING TO TAKE SEVERAL DAYS, THEY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID THEY HAD PERMISSION TO REPLACE THE "NOW DEEMED DEFECTIVE AIRBAG". THE 2014 MODEL YEAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY OF THE TAKATA RECALLS, NOR WAS THE ISSUE SIMILAR TO THE TAKATA RECALL OR THE COIL SPRING RECALL. THANK GOD I WASN'T GOING 75 DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE AIRBAG DECIDED TO SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOY. ITS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE TO GET OVER THE FEAR OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AFTER THE AIRBAG IS REPLACED AND THIS POSSIBLY HAPPENING AGAIN SINCE THEY CAN'T EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. 2014 WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON 25,620 MILES VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY (PARKED) NOT RUNNING FOR THE PR

WHEN CAR WAS 3 MONTHS OLD, I WAS PUTTING GEAR SHIFT INTO PARK AND IT POP BACK OUT AND I ALMOST WAS RAN OVER BY VEHICLE. LUCKILY, HAVE OF MY BODY WAS STILL IN CAR BUT IT HAPPENED SO FAST THAT I WAS PARKED NEXT TO A BRICK WALL AND IT HIT EXACTLY WHEN I PUT FOOT ON BRAKE. I DO HAVE REPAIR FORMS FROM RON LEWIS JEEP AND INSURANCE REPORT. SINCE THEN I HAD TWO MINOR PAINT PEEL ISSUES.

OIL LEAK

OIL COOLING HOUSING BROKE AND OIL SPRAYED ALL OVER THE HOT ENGINE. THE SMOKE WAS PRETTY INTENSE AND USED A FIRE EXTINGUISHER IN CASE THE OIL FLASHED OFF

OIL COOLER KEEPS CRACKING CAUSING OIL TO LEAK DOWN MY ENGINE, POTENTIALLY DRAINING ENGINE OF OIL WHILE DRIVING AND CATCHING FIRE. CHRYSLER CORPORATE OFFICE IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE YET WILL NOT RECALL THE PART. DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE GETTING INJURED OR A DEATH TO OCCUR IN ORDER TO RECALL A FAULTY PART? I'VE ALREADY HAD A JEEP DEALER REPLACE THE OIL COOLER AND IT SEEMS THAT IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO CRACK AND LEAK OIL EVERYWHERE DOWN MY ENGINE. THE FLASH POINT OF MOTOR OIL IS 232 DEGREES AND MY ENGINE GETS AS HOT AS 230 DEGREES WHEN PULLING A TRAILER ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS IS BEYOND FRIGHTENING TO THINK MY ENGINE COULD CATCH FIRE WHILE MY FAMILY AND I ARE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE DUE TO JEEPS FAULTY PART.

JEEPS HAVE SOMETHING KNOWN AS "DEATH SHUTTERS" WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND GOING OVER A BUMP. THE FRONT END OF THE JEEP WILL SHUTTER AND THERE IS A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE

DURING THE HURRICANE IRMA I WAS GETTING THE REST OF MY SUPPLIES AND RETURNED HOME WHEN I FOUND OUT THE STORM STRENGTHENED I WENT TO MY CAR TO MOVE IT TO A SAFER LOCATION AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER THE STORM AAA WAS ALLOWED TO TOW MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS THE TIPM MODULE SO I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THAT WAS AND WHEN I LOOKED IT UP REALIZED THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM FOR YEARS ON THIS WHICH MY MOTHERS CAR A CHRYSLER 300C 2007 WAS APART OF THIS AND WHEN THE CHRYSLER STALLED TWICE THAT I CAN REALLY REMEMBER BEING ON THE OPEN ROAD WITH MY MOTHER IN THE CAR WHO IS 91 JUST SHUT OFF ONCE AT A RED LIGHT AND ONCE WHILE I WAS MAKING A TURN. THIS IS NOT A RECALL ITEM AND MY JEEP IS UNDER WARRANTY I ASKED THEM ABOUT THE CHRYSLER AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY I REPORTED THIS CAR EARLIER AND REPORTING MY JEEP NOW PLZ MAKE THIS A RECALL ITEM FOR I'M ON FIXED INCOME AND HANDICAPPED AND MY MOTHER CAN NOT GET IN OR OUT OF MY JEEP WITH MANY DIFFICULTIES I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CHRYSLER ON I75 NOW BECAUSE I'M AFRAID IT WILL SHUTDOWN AND MY MOTHER MAYBE IN THE CAR AT THE TIME SHE WAS BOTH TIMES BEFORE THAT'S WHY I REMEMBER THAT WHEN I WAS BY MYSELF AND IT HAPPENED I WASN'T TOO CONCERNED BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY ME WORRIED BUT AT LEAST SHE WASN'T IN THE CAR PLZ ONCE AGAIN MAKE THIS A RECALL ITEM BEFORE SOMETHING HORRIBLE HAPPENS I'M GLAD NO DAMAGE TO THE JEEP FROM THE HURRICANE BUT WAS WORRIED BECAUSE I COULDN'T MOVE IT THANK YOU

THE LEATHER IS RIPPING AND DETERIORATING THE LEATHER MAY BE BAD QUALITY

VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER REGULAR SERVICE AT THE DEALER. RETURNED TO HAVE IT CHECKED, WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. THE LOCATION OF THE SENSOR REQUIRES REMOVAL OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD, FUEL INJECTOR'S AND RAILS, ETC., RESULTING IN APPROX. 4 HOURS OF LABOR AT THE DEALER. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THEY HAVE "SEEN THOUSANDS OF THESE SENSOR'S FAIL ON THE 3.6 ENGINE". THERE IS A TSB; 18-034-14 REV. A, DOCUMENTING COMPLAINTS. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS 41K MILES ON IT, THE DEALER WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE FACT THERE APPARENTLY IS NO RECALL ON THIS DEFECTIVE ITEM. I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD DO NOTHING, EXCEPT FOR PUT IN A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE DEALER. I TOLD THEM THAT THE DEALER IS NOT THE PROBLEM, IT IS THE MANUFACTURER WHO REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL DESPITE THE FACT THERE ARE NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF THIS PART FAILING ACROSS THEIR PRODUCT LINE. WAS TOLD TO COMPLAIN TO NHTSA.

TPMS LIGHT STAYING ON TIRES PROPERLY INFLATED HAD DISCOUNT CHECK IT OUT WAS TOLD . PROBLEM WITH COMPUTER SOFTWARE THEY RESET TPMS BUT LIGHT CAME BACK ON EVEN THOUGH TIRES PROPERLY INFLATED

THE OIL FILTER HOUSING HAS CRACKED AT 18,000 MILES

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP ON THE ROAD I NOTICED SMOKE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED ASIDE AND SEEN NOTOR OIL LEAK. APPAREANTLY JEEP CRYSLER K OW ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH OIL COOLER HOUSING LEAKING. THEY HAD A BACK ORDER ON THE PART AND SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS PARTICULAR JEEP MODEL AND YEAR ACCORDING TO MANY JEEP FORUMS ONLINE. LUCKLY I NOTICED SMOKE OTHERWISE COULD HAVE STARTED A FIRE OR COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE JEEP ONLY HAS 37K MILES AND THIS SEEMS TO BE WHEN OTHERS HAD ISSUES.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHILE RAINING AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID NOT WORK ON LOW OR HIGH. UNABLE TO GET PARTS FROM JEEP. WIPER SWITCH IS ON BACK ORDER FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. UNABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE IF THERE IS A CHANCE OF RAIN.

OVERNIGHT FAILURE WHILE PARKED: STARTED JEEP IN THE MORNING AND DISCOVERED NO INTERIOR DOME LIGHT UPON ENTERING, NO TURN SIGNALS, NO HEADLIGHTS, NO WIPER CONTROLS, NO STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS, NO SEAT HEATERS, NO ESP CONTROL. TROUBLESHOOTING REVEALED A GROUNDED CLOCK SPRING CAUSING CRITICAL SYSTEM FAILURES RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THESE SAME CLOCK SPRINGS WERE RECALLED BY NHTSA ON MAY 11, 2016 UNDER CAMPAIGN NUMBER 16V288000 ( HTTPS://WWW.NHTSA.GOV/RECALLS?NHTSAID=16V288) ONLY ON RIGHT-HAND DRIVE VEHICLES FOR "CONTAMINATION FAILURES" CAUSING AIR BAG FAILURES WHERE THEY WERE REPLACED AND A MORE PROTECTIVE STEERING WHEEL TRIM SHROUD WAS INSTALLED. IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT THE LEFT-HAND DRIVE VEHICLES ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE AND ARE NO MORE EXEMPT FROM THESE CONTAMINATION FAILURES. IT'S ALSO SAFE TO SAY, I HAVE THE SAME FAILURE AND THE SAME AIR BAG MALFUNCTION THAT, THANKFULLY, I DID NOT DISCOVER. THANK GOD I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIR BAG DIDN'T FIRE, OR I WOULD HAVE HAD NEED TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY.

THE OIL COOLER HOUSING HAS CRACKED ON MY 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. AS PER THE DEALERSHIP THIS IS A PART THAT IS KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE AND THERE IS NO RELIABLE AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENT.

LEAK FROM THE MOTOR OIL COOLER HOUSING, ON THE 3.6L PENTASTAR V6 ENGINE FROM A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. THE OIL COOLER HOUSING WAS REVISED IN THE 2014 MODEL YEAR FROM A METAL PART TO A PLASTIC PART. MINE STARTED LEAKING AT 20998 MILES. THE LEAK IS IDENTIFIED PRIMARILY BY A POOL OF OIL FORMING IN THE "V" AT THE BASE OF THE COOLER HOUSING, AND MOTOR OIL RUNNING DOWN OFF THE TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION BELLHOUSING AND AROUND THE TRANSMISSION PAN (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). THE LEAK IS NOT A TRANSMISSION LEAK, IT IS AN OIL LEAK FROM THE MOTOR OIL COOLER HOUSING.

NOTICED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A TRANSMISSION LEAK. AFTER SOME RESEARCH FOUND THAT IT'S OIL LEAKING FROM THE OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY. VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY THEN RETURNED HOME AND NOTICED OIL ON THE GARAGE FLOOR.

JEEP WAS TOTALLY DEAD ON 8/9/2017. ..I REPLACED BATTERY AND IT CRANKED BUT NONE OF THE ELECTRICAL CONTROLS ON STEERING COLUMN WORK, I.E. BLINKERS, HORN, LIGHTS, STEREO CONTROLS, WIND SHIELD WIPERS..ETC. (ANYTHING ON THE STEERIMG COLUMN MINUS THE IGNITION SWITCH). I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE STATED THE IPCM IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MECHANIC STATED HE HAS SEEN 3 OFF THESE THIS WEEK ALONE FROM CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. IT IS A 2014 WITH 40K MILES, NEVER BEEN OFF ROUND. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT A MONTH AGO WITH THE CODE P054C BUT WENT OFF AT THE NEXT CRANK UP AND HADNT COME ON AGAIN. WHY WOULD THIS PART JUST FAIL? IT'S NOTHING I DID. SOUNDS LIKE A FAULTY PART.

JEEP STARTED SMOKING IN THE DASH AND THEN CAUGHT ON FIRE. THANKS GOODNESS A PASSER-BUYER HAD FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND PUT OUT FIRE. *BF *JS UPDATED 10/25/18*JB

TODAY HAD ISSUES WITH MY JEEP SMOKING WHILE DRIVING ON SOME TRAILS IN NEW MEXICO. FOUND SOME OIL UNDERNEATH THE MOTOR NEAR THE TRANSMISSION. COULD NOT FIND THE LEAK SO CAME BACK AND DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MANY JEEP OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. I FOUND OUT THAT CHRYSLER/JEEP HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THEIR OIL FILTER/COOLER HOUSING SINCE 2013/2014. I HAVE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THEY HAVE MADE 3+ ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THIS PART BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL TO HAVE ALL OF THESE REPLACED. FROM THE MECHANICS I'VE DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE ISSUE IS QUITE DANGEROUS. THE OIL LEAKS FROM THIS HOUSING DOWN INTO THE "V" OF THE ENGINE BETWEEN THE VALVES AND SITS THERE WITH THE POTENTIAL OF CATCHING FIRE AND BURNING THE VEHICLE AND ITS OCCUPANTS. THE MFG KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR THE LAST 3-4 YEARS BUT IS EXPECTING THE OWNERS TO PAY FOR THE DEFECT FROM MANUFACTURING. THE MFG SHOULD BE REPLACING THESE PARTS AS PART OF A LARGER RECALL. I AM CURRENTLY MILES FROM HOME (900 MILES) AND NOW WILL HAVE TO ADD OIL EVERY SO OFTEN TO ENSURE THE ENGINE DOESN'T SEAZE UP ON THE WAY HOME THEN BE OUT PERSONAL TIME TRYING TO GET IT FIXED.

IMPROPER DESIGN OF OIL COOLING UNIT - WEAK AND INCAPABLE OF REPEATED MAINTENANCE STRESSES. SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE WITH LOCAL AUTO MAINTENANCE SHOP REVEALED SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OIL COATING REAR OF ENGINE, TRANSMISSION BELL HOUSING, AND LIGHT SHEEN OF OIL COATING MANY COMPONENTS ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE. POOLED OIL ON THE ENGINE BLOCK AT THE FRONT, DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH OIL FILTER HOUSING. HOURS OF INTERNET RESEARCH LEADS ME TO MULTIPLE JEEP MESSAGE FORUMS WITH SIMILAR/IDENTICAL SCENARIO. EVERY OWNER FINDS CAUSE IN FAULTY/COMPROMISED "ADAPTER-ENGINE OIL FILTER" JEEP PART NUMBER 68105583AA. NOTED THAT THIS PART HAS BEEN UPGRADED/REVISED TO AN AE DESIGNATION, THUS REVEALING THAT JEEP KNOWS THIS PART TO BE FAULTY AND/OR OF INADEQUATE DESIGN. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY (PARKED) WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BUT ONLY TOOK NOTE OF A POTENTIAL PROBLEM WHEN I NOTICED AN OIL SPOT WHERE I ALWAYS PARK AT MY OFFICE, AND AT HOME. NO VEHICLES I OWN HAVE EVER LEFT AN OIL SPOT BEFORE THIS.

THIS VEHICLE HAS UNDER 20,000 MILES ON IT. HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN A COLLISION, OR BEEN OFF-ROAD OR RAN OVER OR HIT ANYTHING OTHER THAN DIPS AND BUMPS THAT MY TOYOTA YARIUS AND HONDA FIT HAVE RAN OVER WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE HAS WORN OUT TWICE AND CHRYSLER SAYS IT IS BECAUSE I DID NOT ROTATE TIRES EVERY 5,000 MILES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES AND I WAS NEVER INFORMED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM EITHER DURING SERVICE OR WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A FLAW THAT CHRYSLER IS PRETENDING DOES NOT EXIST.

JEEP WRANGLER EFFECTED. 2014 WITH 17000 MILES THE OIL FILTER/OIL COOLER HOUSING FAILED AND LEAKED 3QTS OF OIL IN LESS THEN 24HOURS. THE OIL WAS CHANGED 5 MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS PROBLEM AND THE DEALER CLAIMED THE OIL FILTER WAS PUT ON TO TIGHT WHICH CAUSED CRACKS IN THE HOUSING AND WOULD NOT COMPLETE THE WORK UNDER WARRENTY. AFTER THE REPAIR I REQUESTED TO KEEP THE PART THAT WAS TAKEN OUT. AFTER CLOSE EXAMINATION AND USING COMPRESSED AIR TO SEE IF I COULD FIND A CRACK THERE WAS CRACK TO BE FOUND. ONLY THING I COULD SEE THAT COULD CAUSE A LEAK WAS A MISSING GASKET ON BOTTON OF HOUSE.

MY COOLANT STARTED LEAKING AND MY THREE YEAR OLD JEEP NEEDED A NEW RADIATOR. THE GARBAGE LIMITED WARRANTY FROM CHRYSLER PRODUCTS OF COURSE WOULD NOT COVER.

JEEP WRANGLER STEERING COLUMN ELECTRICAL ISSUES, POSSIBLY RELATED TO TIPM ISSUES WITH OTHER JEEP/CHRYLSER/DODGE VEHICLES. ISSUE OCCURRED WHEN STARTING VEHICLE IN PARKING LOT AT NIGHT. JEEP LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN ON EVEN THOUGH LIGHTS WERE IN THE ON POSITION FROM THE STEERING COLUMN LEFT STEM FOR LIGHTS. REPEATED ON/OFF ATTEMPTS, INCLUDING VEHICLE RESTARTS, DID NOT FIX NO LIGHTS ISSUE. WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ROTATED THE LIGHTS SUDDENLY TURNED ON. OTHER RELATED ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT WINDSHIELD WIPER CYCLE WHEN WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION ON THE RIGHT STEM OF THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN.

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT ON THE 23RD OF MAY, A FRONT END COLLISION AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, THE SHOULDER/SEAT BELT KEPT ME FROM MAJOR INJURY.

ARRIVED HOME IN VEHICLE AND HAD A STRONG ODOR OF BURNING OIL. IMMEDIATELY SAW A PUDDLE OF OIL UNDER THE VEHICLE AND OIL ON THE EXHAUST WAS SMOKING. THE OIL FILTER/COOLER HOUSING HAD BEGUN LEAKING. THIS VEHICLE HAS 44,000 MILES ON IT AND NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PART FAILURE AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT. THE AMOUNT OF OIL IT LOST IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME WAS ENOUGH TO CAUSE A FIRE. THERE WAS OVER 1/2 INCH OF OIL IN THE VALLEY BETWEEN THE HEADS AND OIL HAD BLOWN FROM THE MOTOR TO THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THIS PART IS CONVENIENTLY NOT COVERED UNDER THE 5 YR 100,000 MILE ENGINE WARRANTY AND THE DEALER SAID THE PART HAS NOT BEEN UPGRADED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY LOOSE AND SPUN EXCESSIVELY AS THE VEHICLE FAILED TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A BOLT FELL OUT OF THE STEERING SHAFT. THE CONTACT DID NOT KNOW THE SPECIFIC BOLT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT NO FURTHER ACTION WAS NEEDED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,500.

ON THE 2014 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE JK JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 2014 , THIS WEEK THE ETC (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL) AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TURN ON AND I LOST ENGINE POWER, IT JUST RAN IDLE. IT CAN NOT GO MORE THAN 2000 RPM. I TURN IT OFF AND ON AND IT WAS EVERYTHING OK. ALSO THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LIGHT IS STILL ON ALL THE TIME. THE TIRE PRESSURE STILL IN 35 PSI.
