2014 Jeep Wrangler complaints

I was driving the vehicle at 30 miles per hour and the engine accelerated to 60 miles per hour on it's own. before I could get it to stop. This occurred on 4 different occasions of the vehicle accelerating on it's own. The vehicle was only able to get under control by stepping on the brake hard placed the vehicle in neutral and shut off the Key. Some one could of been killed. No Dick Chrysler dodge stated they would have to drive it to see if there was an issue and charge an outrageous amount of money to determine if there was an issue. I know there is an issue. No one has inspected it as there was no accident There were no warning signs that came on. The first occurrence of the issue was on 8-

64000 miles oil filler housing cracked out of nowhere and started leaking oil all over the exhaust. smoke was coming off the exhaust into the jeep I was afraid the jeep would catch fire so i had to tow it home. this part made out of plastic is breaking on many jeeps because it is defective in design. it cannot do its job.oil leaking all over the road and onto hot exhaust is a dangerous result of this poorly designed part

Fuse box on right hand side of engine compartment caught fire and was smoldering. Jeep at time was turned off and in a parked position when this occurred. Tail lights were flashing and windshield wiper were going without being turned on. Remote would not unlock Jeep and entire cabin was filled with smoke. If I had been driving vehicle, I would have been unable to stop. Auto Gear Shifter locked up and I would have been unable to see how to drive due to amount of smoke entering cabin and all power components failing.

Dealer reported crack in oil cooling housing. A burning oil and coolant smell starting in 2017, while under manufacturer warranty. I was concern that jeep would start a fire and began parking outside. I replace the oil cooler because I noticed a ticking sound. When I went to the dealer they informed the the engine is a total loss and needs to be replaced. Cylinders 1 and 6 failed. $8000 to replace the engine with a refurbished unit which addresses each of Chrysler’s failed 3.6 liter motor. If this manufactures oil cooler and other engine issues, do not need to be addressed, I don’t know what ever would need to be addressed.

The other day I was changing the fluids in my transfer case and I noticed that the cv bolts were broken and coming out my Jeep is not lifted nor is there larger tires on it. If these all snapped the possibility the drive shift my fall out. If you contact me immediately I won't proceed with fixing the drive shaft if not I'm replacing it tomorrow.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V018000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect

My Jeep Wrangler was having significant engine issues with shaking, random noises and vibrations, and it turns out the Engine Oil Cooler had a crack in it and leaked oil all over the intake manifold/under carriage of the vehicle. Upon speaking with over 15 dealerships in Southern California, they noted that there were over 40,000 of this replacement part on back-order as of March 2020. I had to wait two months to get the part delivered, which meant I went two months without a vehicle, and then had to pay over $800+ on a part + labor on an item that should absolutely be recalled. There are thousands of posts on Wrangler Forum and other Jeep pages that share the exact same issue. Jeep has ignored this issue since 2014, and it's only occurring in more vehicles now. This part breaking can cause engine seizure or failure and should not be a cost to the customer as there is CLEARLY a nation-wide problem that Chrysler is ignoring.

NEED TO REPLACE OIL SENSORS, FILTER HOUSING & INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET SET-WARPED. OIL LEAKING EVERYWHERE DUE TO CRACKED HOUSING. THERE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS SINCE 2014 IN ALL MAKES OF JEEP/CHRYSLER CARS AND THEY REFUSE TO RECALL/FIX. THIS IS A SERIOUS DANGER!

IT STARTED WITH A SMALL OIL LEAK THAT TURNED INTO A BIG OIL LEAK COMING FROM THE OIL COOLER. THE HIGH THE TEMPERATURE THE MORE OIL THAT WOULD COME OUT. THIS OIL IS MIXED WITH COOLANT AS WELL. THIS IS NOT SAFE BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO CRACK AND THEY WILL NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS CAN BE A REAL SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU CAN LOSE OIL PRESSURE WHICH CAN CAUSE ENGINE TO FAIL.

NOTICED AN OIL SPOT IN THE DRIVEWAY. TOOK THE JEEP TO MY MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A CRACKED OIL COOLER. HE SAID THAT THIS IS THE THIRD ONE HE HAS SEEN AND THE SECOND IN 2 WEEKS. ON THE FIRST ONE HE DID HE SAID IT TOOK 6 WEEKS TO GET THE PART AND THAT HIS CUSTOMER DROVE 6 HOURS TO GET THE PART. THERE IS A SEVERE BACK ORDER ON THESE PARTS. I HAVE NOW BEEN WAITING FOR 3 WEEKS FOR MY MECHANIC TO GET THE PART. HE WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT THE NEXT EXPECTED DELIVERY WOULD AROUND MAY 3RD. THAT WILL BE 6 WEEKS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO USE MY VEHICLE. THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN ABOUT SINCE 2014. IT STARTED TO HAPPEN TO VEHICLES WITH LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON THEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PART. OR AT LEAST REDESIGN AND MAKE ENOUGH PARTS TO COVER THE DEMAND. WHY HAS THIS BEEN ALLOWED TO HAPPEN? $1000 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM.

LEAKING OIL FILTER HOUSING. IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SO WIDESPREAD ACROSS JEEPS THAT THERE'S A NATIONAL SHORTAGE OF THE PART. I CAN'T EVEN GET IT FIXED. OIL AND COOLANT ARE LEAKING EVERYWHERE. IT'S A DANGER TO MY FAMILY AND THE ENVIRONMENT.

OIL COOLER HOUSING IS MADE WITH 2 TYPES OF MATERIAL THAT DOESN'T HAVE EQUAL CONTROL OF OIL EXPANSION WHEN IT IS HOT, THEREFORE HAVING TO REPLACE A OIL COOLER HOUSING BECAUSE OF THE PLASTIC PART OF IT CRACKED RESULTING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE KIT. I HAD TO REPLACE IT 3 TIMES, BUT ONLY PAID ONCE OF THE REPLACEMENT COST. THE OTHER 2 WERE UNDER WARRANTY. I'VE RESEARCHED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH JEEP PART, PARTICULARLY WITH THE OIL COOLER HOUSING KIT. METAL AND PLASTIC SHOULD NOT BE A COMPLETE KIT TO CONTROL THE OIL FLOW. HEAT REACTIONS ARE NOT THE SAME.

2014 JEEP WRANGLER OIL LEAK NOTICED OIL ON CARPORT CHECKED LOW ON OIL ITS AN OIL COOLANT HOUSING CRACK HAVE CALLED FOR A MONTH AND A HALF CANNOT GET PART ITS ON BACK ORDER WHICH IS NOW UP TO 60,000 WAS TOLD TIGHTEN BOLT AND KEEP CHECKING OIL I MAY BE A FEMALE BUT IT'S NOT GONNA KEEP BEING JUST A CRACK WILL END UP TEARING MY JEEP UP OR CAUSE ACCIDENT ITS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION WAS TOLD BY GUY AT DEALERSHIP ITS MADE TO GO OUT WHEN WARRANTY EXPIRES IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THE PART SINCE IT CAN CAUSE MORE DAMAGE

RIGHT REAR TAIL LIGHT NOT WORKING PROPERLY. ORIGINALLY IT WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY (WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THIS ISSUE) BUT NOW ITS NOT WORKING AT ALL(NO TAIL LIGHT, NO BLINKER). BULB IS GOOD(HAS BEEN CHANGED), FUSE IS GOOD ETC. I BELIEVE THERE MAY BE A GROUNDING OR WIRING HARNESS ISSUE BASED OFF THE DIAGNOSTICS I HAVE DONE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN TRYING TO TROUBLE SHOOT THIS ISSUE.

FOUND OIL ALL OVER THE FLOOR OF MY GARAGE, HAD NOT DRIVEN JEEP. IT HAS JUST 30,000 MILES ON IT. BROUGHT TO DEALERS OVER 3 WEEKS AGO, THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR A BACKORDERED PART. AND I AM WITHOUT MY JEEP. WAS TOLD 14,000 ON BACKORDER-IF ITS THAT BAD FOR BREAKAGE WHY IS THIS $1200+ REPAIR IS RECALL? I GOOGLED IT AND FOUND IT TO BE A BIG ISSUE.

MOPAR OIL COOLER HOUSING, WHICH HOUSES A COOLER AND OIL FILTER, SITS ON THE ENGINE AND HAS CRACKED, CAUSING OIL TO LEAK OUT OF IT. OIL LEAKS DOWN THE ENGINE AND ONTO THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING.

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE CHRYSLER RECALL THE 3.6L V6 FOR THEIR OIL FILTER COOLER BASE BREAKING. I'M LUCKY MY VEHICLE DIDN'T CATCH FIRE WITH ALL THE HOT OIL RUNNING DOWN OVER THE ENGINE. THOUSANDS OF THESE MOTORS ARE IN THEIR PRODUCTS. AND ALL COST $1355 TO REPAIR. MINE WAS ONLY SERVICED AT THE DEALER, NO ONE ELSE. IT IS A WELL KNOWN DEFECT AND CHRYSLER IS STILL STICKING IT TO CUSTOMERS FOR REPAIRS. SURPRISED NO ONE HAS DIED IN A CAR FIRE.

WHEN DRIVING OR STATIONARY THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND A DING FOLLOWS. IT HAPPENS NO MATTER THE SITUATION WHEN I MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL.

TIPM MALFUNCTIONING. JEEP INDICATING DOOR AJAR/NOT IN PARK. VEHICLE HAS INDICATED OTHER PROBLEM VIA DASH WHILE DRIVING. TOOK TO MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD NEEDED NEW TIPM.

OIL COOLER AND FILTER HOUSING OIL LEAK. OIL BURNING SMELL FROM UNDERNEATH. POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. NUISANCE LEAK. AS WITH OTHERS, THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER. HAVE BEEN WITHOUT THE VEHICLE FOR OVER A WEEK.

OIL FILTER HOUSING IS LEAKING OIL, AND THERE IS A HUGE BACKORDER ON THE PART

MY OIL FILTER HOUSING HAS A LEAK AND NO ONE CAN GET THE PART. APPARENTLY THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE AS THE PART IS IN HIGH DEMAND. JEEP SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL.

LEAKING OIL FILTER HOUSING. OIL IN DRIVEWAY AFTER SITTING FROM EVEN A SHORT TRIP.

MAJOR OIL LEAK. TOOK TO MECHANIC. OIL COOLER NEEDS REPLACING. CHECKED ON JEEP FORUM, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. MECHANIC WENT TO ORDER PART 3-4 MONTHS FOR A REPLACEMENT. JEEP HAS A BACK ORDER PROBLEM. WAS TOLD NOT TO DRIVE AS IT COULD OVERHEAT AND CAUSE A FIRE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT JEEP IS IGNORING.

OIL LEAK FROM THE OIL FILTER HOUSING CASE. JEEP WAS STATIONARY AND NOTICED AN OIL LEAK UNDER VEHICLE. PART IS ON BACKORDER. JEEP SWITCHED FROM USING METAL HOUSING TO PLASTIC WHICH CRACKS WITH COLDER WEATHER.

NOTICE OIL LEAKS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND HAD IT CHECKED BY MECHANIC. FOUND OUT IT WAS THE OIL FILTER HOUSING/OIL COOLER AND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 3.6 MOTOR ALSO, FOUND OUT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER DUE TO A LOT OF CUSTOMERS HAVING SAME ISSUE.

SMELLED A OIL BURNING SMELL INSIDE THE CAB. NOTICED A DRIPPING OF OIL ON THE GROUND. TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE OIL FILTER HOUSING WAS CRACKED. WHEN TRYING TO ORDER THE PART, WAS TOLD SEVERAL THOUSAND WERE ON BACK ORDER AND THEY HAD NO TIME FRAME TO GET ONE. I USE THIS VEHICLE FOR WORK AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHEN I CAN DRIVE MY VEHICLE. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

MY 2014 WRANGLER HAS THE DREADED OIL FILTER HOUSING / OIL COOLER LEAK. WHILE DRIVING I SMELLED BURNING OIL. THE NEXT MORNING I FOUND OIL ON MY GARAGE FLOOR AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. $875 TO REPLACE THE PART. IN RESEARCHING THE ISSUE ON LINE, I DISCOVERED THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE AS THE MANUFACTURER CHOSE TO MAKE THE PART OUT OF PLASTIC.

I NOTICED OIL LEAKING FROM MY JEEP, FOUND SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OIL UNDER JEEP. IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT TO MY MECHANIC FOR REVIEW. THEY INDICATED THAT THE OIL COOLER WAS LEAKING A GOOD AMOUNT OF OIL AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE OVER 50,000 OIL COOLERS ON A 2 MONTH BACKORDER! MY MECHANIC SAID IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR ALL 2014 V6 ENGINES. JEEP FORUM ADDITIONALLY HAS THOUSANDS OF COMMENTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE.

OIL FILTER COOLER ADAPTER FAILED AT 55K MILES. JEEP LEAKED QUART OF OIL ON GROUND AND ANOTHER QUART IN INTAKE. IF JEEP WAS RUN ANOTHER 30 MIN THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE DESTROYED ITSELF DUE TO LACK OF OIL. COULD HAVE ASLO CAUSED FIRE IF OIL GOT ON HOT EXAHUST. VERY COMMON PROBLEM W PENSTAR 3.6. NO PARTS AVAILABLE IN USA AS OF 03-01-2021 MFR. REFUSES TO WARRANTY. CLAIMS OIL FILTER WAS TOO TIGHT, WHICH WAS NOT.

THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE OIL COOLER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER CROWN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM DUBLIN (6350 PERIMETER LOOP RD, DUBLIN, OH 43017, (888) 739-0282) AND LEFT A VOICEMAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 43,147.*DT*JB*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THEIR VEHICLE THEY NOTICED A STRONG ODOR OF BURNING OIL COMING INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PARKED THEIR VEHICLE WHEN THEY GOT TO THEIR RESIDENCE AND NOTICED A LARGE OIL LEAK COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER COUNTRY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2705 N MICHIGAN ST, PLYMOUTH, IN 46563) WHO DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AS A CRACK OIL HOUSING WHICH CAUSED THE OIL LEAK FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE DEALER STATED THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR WAS ON BACK ORDER AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD HAVE IT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

AT 63,000 MILES MY 2014 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT 4X4 STARTED LEAKING OIL REALLY BAD. LOOKED UP PROBLEMS PEOPLE HAVE WITH OIL LEAKS VIA THE INTERNET. FOUND OUT THERE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN A THOUSANDS OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS HAPPENING ALL OF A SUDDEN. TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT IS LEAKING FROM A CRACKED "ENGINE OIL COOLER AND OIL FILTER HOUSING ADAPTER". CALLED AROUND FOR THIS PART AND ALL DEALERS HAD A BACK ORDER ON THIS PART AND DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD BE GETTING THEM IN. FINALLY LOCATED ONE FROM A DEALER IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THROUGH A PERSON I KNEW PERSONALLY THAT WORKED FOR A DEALER. HE SAID THERE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN 4,200 ORDERS FOR THIS PART IN JUST SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. THIS IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM! THIS CAN LEAD TO THE ENGINE CATCHING FIRE. ALSO A VERY EXPENSIVE COST FOR JUST THE PART AND THAN THEY STILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE UPPER AND LOWER INTAKE PLENUM GASKETS NEEDING REPLACEMENT WHEN THIS PART IS REPLACED. THE LEAKING OF OIL HAS BEEN HAPPENING OVER A WEEK OR SO.

OIL COOLING HOUSE IS CRACKED, DUE TO EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER IN OKLAHOMA. OIL IS LEAKING AND THERE IS A BURNING SMELL WHEN DRIVING. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, THIS OEM PART IS ON BACK ORDER, CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE WITH DRIVING. THE CHANCE OF AN ENGINE FIRE / BLOWN ENGINE DUE TO LOW OIL. BEING A JEEP OWNER THIS BACK ORDER IS UNACCEPTABLE. AT THIS TIME, I HAVE AN ESTIMATE FOR $1600.00 IN REPAIRS TO FIX THIS ISSUE WITH A JEEP DEALER IN TOWN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER, THE OIL COOLER FRACTURED WHILE STATIONARY AND PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 109,000.

DURING THE WINTER STORM IN TEXAS TEMPERATURES WHERE BELOW 0. MY FAMILY WAS WITHOUT POWER AND NEED TO EVACUATE. AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE I STARTED TO SMELL BURNING OIL WITH THE ENGINE IDLING. I NOTICED THERE WAS ENGINE OIL DRIPPING FROM TRANSMISSION, DRIVESHAFTS AND SKID PLATES. I TRACED THE OIL BACK UP TO THE ENGINE AND THEN FURTHER TO THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. THERE IS ENGINE OIL AND COOLANT POOLED IN THE VALLEY BETWEEN THE ENGINE HEADS, UNDERNEATH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE OIL FILTER/COOLER ASSEMBLY IS LEAKING EITHER THE O-RINGS ARE BAD OR THE PLASTIC HOUSING HAS CRACKED. RESEARCHING I FOUND THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR SOME TIME. CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. WHY NO RECALLS? PLUS THE PART FROM RETAILERS STATE THE THE PART IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE ODOR OF BURNING OIL WAS PRESENT. UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT ENGINE OIL HAD LEAKED ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT OIL COOLER FILTER ASSEMBLY WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER NESTER JEEP LOCATED AT 7566 W HOUGHTON LAKE DR, HOUGHTON LAKE, MI 48629 CONTACTED REGARDING THE FAILURE.THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT YET NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN THE GARAGE, THE ENGINE LEAKED OIL ONTO THE EXHAUST. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 84,297.

2014 JEEP WRANGLER 3.6L , OIL COOLER LEAKING ENGINE OIL ON TOP OF THE ENGINE AND LEAKING OIL ON HOT EXHAUST, THIS COULD POSSIBLY START A FIRE.

I NOTICED A LARGE PUDDLE OF OIL WHEN MOVING VEHICLE FROM PARKED POSITION. THERE WAS NO INDICATOR ON VEHICLE THAT IT WAS LOW ON OIL. WHEN CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL IN THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS NONE SHOWING ON THE DIP STICK. ALL OIL HAD LEAKED OUT OF VEHICLE. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL. IT WAS THE OIL FILTER HOUSING DEFECTIVE RELEASING ALL OIL FROM VEHICLE. THIS PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND NOT EXPECTED TO BE AVAILABLE FOR 45 OR MORE DAYS. THIS TELLS ME THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE. WHAT IF I HAD NOT NOTICED THE OIL THAT HAD LEAKED OUT AND MY THE ENGINE LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY.

RUNNING ERRANDS IN THE JEEP I STARTED TO SMELL BURNING OIL WHILE STOPPED WITH THE ENGINE IDLING. RETURNED HOME TO NOTICE THERE WAS ENGINE OIL DRIPPING FROM TRANSMISSION, DRIVESHAFTS AND SKID PLATES. I TRACED THE OIL BACK UP TO THE ENGINE AND THEN FURTHER TO THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. THERE IS ENGINE OIL AND COOLANT POOLED IN THE VALLEY BETWEEN THE ENGINE HEADS, UNDERNEATH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE DIAGNOSIS IS THE OIL FILTER/COOLER ASSEMBLY. EITHER THE O-RINGS ARE BAD OR THE PLASTIC HOUSING HAS CRACKED. THE JEEP IS OUT OF WARRANTY FOR BOTH THE BUMPER TO BUMPER AND THE POWERTRAIN. HOWEVER, THE JEEP HAS LESS THAN 50K MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE REPAIR WILL BE DONE BY MY SELF AS MY ABILITIES ARE COMPETENT AND I REFUSE TO PAY 1200.00 DOLLARS FOR A MECHANIC OR DEALERSHIP TO PERFORM THIS TASK, PARTICULARLY SEEING THE TOTAL COST OF PARTS IS LESS THAN 250.00. FCA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AS LEAKS IN THE LUBRICATING AND COOLING SYSTEM COULD RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE, VEHICLE FIRES, LOSS OF LIFE OR GREAT BODILY HARM AND HARM TO SURROUNDING INDIVIDUALS, PROPERTY AND/OR THE ENVIRONMENT. SOUNDS LIKE ENOUGH TO WARRANT A RECALL, IF YOU ASK ME.

OIL FILTER HOUSING IS CRACKED. UPON TALKING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THIS IS A KNOWN AND FREQUENT ISSUE.

FOLLOWING A MANDATORY PCM FLASH RECALL, I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY '14 JEEP WRANGLER'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. IT WILL INTERMITTENTLY NOT UPSHIFT UNDER HEAVY ACCELERATION. INSTEAD, THE ENGINE REVS TO 4K, AND IT WILL STAY IN THE GEAR. ONLY IF I LET OFF THE GAS AND ALLOW IT TO RESET, THEN GRADUALLY ACCELERATE WILL IT WORK PROPERLY. THE DEALERSHIP AND JEEP HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE, HAVING REPLACED THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION, PCM, AND ECU, AS WELL AS NUMEROUS OTHER PARTS AND SENSORS. I FULLY BELIEVE THIS IS COMPUTER SOFTWARE RELATED, BUT THE MANUFACTURER IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A POTENTIAL ISSUE. FOR THE LONGEST TIME, I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET A DTC CODE, BUT MOST RECENTLY FOUND A STORED ONE THAT APPEARS TO DIRECT THE ISSUE TO THE CAN-BUS COMMUNICATION ISSUE. ATTACHING SCREENSHOT.

ROCKER ARMS WERE REPLACED AT 88,000 MILES AND NOW AT 110,000 THEY NEED REPLACED AGAIN. OIL CHANGES DONE AT EVERY 3000 MILES DUE TO DUSTY CONDITIONS ON MAIL ROUTE. VERY FRUSTRATING SEVERAL CO-WORKERS HAVE SAME COMPLAINT AS THESE VEHICLES ARE GREAT FOR THE JOB THEY ARE BUILT FOR . THIS EXPENSE SHOULD NOT BE A FACTOR IN CONSIDERING THESE VEHICLES FOR PURCHASE TO WORK AT THIS JOB..

THE IGNITION APPEARED TO GO OUT ON OUR 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THERE WAS NO SOUND. IT DID NOT TRY TO CRANK. ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS LIKE HEADLIGHTS, RADIO, ETC STILL WORKED. I TOOK IT TO AUTO NATION JEEP IN ROSEVILLE AND THEY SAID THE TIPM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT $1400. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN THE GARAGE.

RADIATOR ON THESE MODELS START LEAKING PREMATURELY. THERE ARE MANY DOCUMENTED CASES ON ONLINE FORUMS WITH RADIATORS GOING OUT OR LEAKING WITH ONLY A FEW THOUSAND MILES AND BEING COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, SOME DEALERS WOULD ARGUE THAT THE COOLANT SMELL IS NORMAL, IN ORDER TO PUSH THE REPAIR FURTHER OUT. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 46K MILES AND HAS A LEAK ON THE DRIVER SIDE PORTION OF THE RADIATOR WHERE THE ALUMINUM PART OF THE RADIATOR MEETS WITH THE PLASTIC PART OF THE RADIATOR. THE LEAK IS VERY SLOW AND MOST PEOPLE MIGHT NOT REALIZE IT (THIS IS WHAT MAKES IT EVEN MORE DANGEROUS!!) OTHER THAN FOR THE COOLANT SMELL NEAR THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE A DEFECTIVE RADIATOR LIKE THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AS ITS HIGHLY PROBABLE TO BLOW AT ANYTIME GIVEN HOW MUCH PRESSURE IS IN THE COOLING SYSTEM. THIS WOULD BE DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY IF IT WERE TO GO OUT ON THE FREEWAY, OR OUT IN A REMOTE AREA, OR EVEN FOR SOMEONE WORKING IN THE ENGINE BAY OR UNDER THE CAR. JEEP KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM, BUT IF YOU'RE OUT OF WARRANTY THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, EVEN IF IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME IT'S HAPPENED.
