2014 Jeep Wrangler complaints

2014 JEEP JK WRANGLER. OIL FILTER HOUSING CRACK. OIL LEAKING EVERYWHERE UNDER THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS SMOKING. THIS CAN CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD. LOOKS LIKE FOR YEARS THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THIS FIX IS ALMOST 1000.00 DOLLARS. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT YOU HAVE SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE THAT THE COMPANY IS NOT WILLING TO FIX THIS. I WILL BE CONTACTING AN ATTORNEY IF THIS IS NOT RESOLVED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

2014 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED OIL FILTER ADAPTER ASSEMBLY CRACKED CAUSING OIL TO FLOW OUT OF THE ASSEMBLY AT THE RATE OF 1 1/2 QUARTS EVERY 2 DAYS. IT LEAKS WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. THE ENGINE COULD EASILY CATCH FIRE.

DEFECTIVE BEARING IN ROCKER ARM LEADING TO ENGINE FAILURE. IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE ON THESE VEHICLES. WHEN ENGINE FAILURE OCCURS, THERE IS LOSS OF POWER STEERING, PROPULSION, AND DIFFICULT BRAKING.

DEFECTIVE COOLER HOUSING ASSEMBLY IN JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 2014

MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE GOT THE MACHINE ATTACHED THE CODE READ PO520 ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT. WHEN WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY ANY LONGER AND WOULDN'T REPAIR. WHILE I RESEARCHED WE FOUND A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT WAS ISSUED PRIOR TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRATION. THE OIL SENSOR SHOULD HAVE AND COULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED PRIOR TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRING IF THE DEALERSHIPS WERE MANDATED TO NOTIFY AND FIX ALL REPAIRS RELATED TO DEFECTIVE PARTS. DURING MY RESEARCH WE FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS A RECALL IN EXTENDED WARRANTY STATUS. REGARDLESS IF WE GOT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IT IS ILLEGAL FOR A DEALERSHIP TO SELL A USED VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG OR A RECALL. IT IS ALSO ILLEGAL FOR ME NOT TO GET IT FIXED OR MY REGISTRATION CAN BE REVOKED. I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS COST TO REPAIR EITHER OF THESE ITEMS. I AM JUST ASKING YOU TO PLEASE TAKE THESE ISSUES SERIOUSLY AND TO HAVE BOTH THESE PARTS REPLACED. IF THIS WASN'T BAD ENOUGH, THIS TIME OF YEAR, COVID AND MY CURRENT FINANCIAL SITUATION IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME. PLEASE HELP ME.

OIL FILTER HOUSING LEAKING QUARTS OF OIL. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD BECAUSE OF WHERE IT IS LOCATED. I HAVE SEEN 1000,S OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS. THIS MORNING I STARTED MY CAR TO WARM UP AND THERE WAS A POOL OF OIL UNDERNEATH OF IT. MY OIL LEAK STARTED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, STARTED SMALL AND NOW IT IS DUMPING OIL

VEHICLE STALLS WHEN STARTED, BRAKE DEPRESSED AND SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. WILL OCCUR SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW, UNLESS BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED AS SOON AS VEHICLE IS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. WHEN BRAKE IS RELEASED, VEHICLE ACCELERATES UNUSUALLY FAST, IN REVERSE, WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. PROBLEM IS MORE PROMINENT IN COLDER WEATHER (BELOW 40F).

2014 3.6L OIL FILTER/HOUSING/COOLER CRACK LEAK OIL ON ENGINE SMELL OF BURNING (FIRE HAZARD)

MY 2014 JEEP WRANGLER JKU HAS 86737 MILES AND DEVELOPED AN OIL LEAK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS/REPAIR, AND WAS TOLD "MASSIVE LEAK FROM OIL COOLER HAS SATURATED ENGINE BLOCK VALLEY AND SPILLING OVER ON TO TRANSMISSION AND UNDER BODY". AS STATED FROM THE DEALER, THE OIL LEAK DOES NOT DRAIN FROM THE ENGINE, BUT POOLS IN THE ENGINE BLOCK VALLEY UNTIL IT FILLS AND THEN RUNS OVER THE REST OF THE TRANSMISSION/ENGINE. THIS CREATES A FIRE HAZARD.. AS STATED FROM THE DEALER, THE OIL FILTER/COOLER ASSEMBLY (MOPAR PART # 05184294AE) IS LOCATED IN THE ENGINE BLOCK VALLEY, SO IT IS VERY PROTECTED FROM EXTERNAL DAMAGE. THE SEALS JUST LEAK. THIS DEFECT COST OVER $1000 TO REPAIR. FROM THE NUMBER OF OTHER OCCURRENCES I HAVE READ ABOUT, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE.

OIL HOUSING COOLER CRACKED, LEAKING OIL POOLING ALL DOWN INTO UNDERCARRIAGE. POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD

IN 2014 MOPAR STARTED USING A PLASTIC OIL FILER / COOLER HOUSING ON THE 3.6 PENSTAR ENGINES. THIS PLASTIC OIL FILER/COOLER HOUSING IS EASY TO CRACK OR DEVELOP OIL LEAKS. THE OIL THEN PUDDLES UP UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD LAYING AGAINST THE HOT ENGINE BLOCK. IT APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY DESIGN THAT COULD RESULT IN ENGINE FIRES OR BREAKDOWNS FROM LOSS OF OIL. THIS IS USED ON LOTS OF DIFFERENT MODELS OF VEHICLES. MINE IS THE 2014 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. THE OIL LEAKS ANYTIME THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. AFTER THE ENGINE VALLEY IS FULL THE OIL RUNS DOWN THE BACK OF THE ENGINE AND FALLS ON THE TRANSMISSION BELL HOUSING AND EXHAUST PIPE CAUSING BURNING OIL SMELL AND POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. MOPAR SHOULD REPLACE THESE ON ALL VEHICLES AFTER THE 2014 YEAR.

I PURCHASED A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH THE 3.6 LITER PENTASTAR ENGINE. I BOUGHT IT WITH 75K MILES. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 500 MILES, THERE WAS A VERY LOUD TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND SAID THE REPAIRS START AT $2,200. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET PERTAINING TO THIS TICKING AND NUMEROUS VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE SHOWING HOW TO REPAIR THE LIFTER NOISE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD MAKE THE FIX.

2014 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 43,000 MILES SEVERE OIL LEAK FROM OIL FILTER HOUSING. OIL WENT FROM SMALL DRIP TO SEVERE LEAK WITH OIL COATING CROSS MEMBER AND EXHAUST PIPE WITHIN WEEKS. OIL DRIPPING AND COATING THE HOT EXHAUST IS A FIRE HAZZARD AND YOU CAN SMELL THE BURNING OIL AT EVERY STOP LIGHT. $1000 REPAIR AT THE DEALER.

THE OIL COOLER/OIL FILTER ADAPTOR FAILED. THIS PART IS PLASTIC AND SITS ON TOP OF THE ENGINE....! SINCE 2014 THIS PART HAS FAILED IN MANY FCA VEHICLES AND WHEN IT DOES IT LEAKS OIL AND COOLANT ON TOP OF A RUNNING/HOT ENGINE! IN MY CASE IT FAILED AND CAUSED A LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE WHICH THEN DAMAGED THE CAM SHAFTS AND O2 SENSOR. LUCKILY IT WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY BUT WHEN THAT RUNS OUT IT'S NOT ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE BUT A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR A FAILING PLASTIC PART THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED BY NOW! THE COMPANY SHOULD AT A MINIMUM EXTEND THE WARRANTY FOR THAT PART ON EVERY ENGINE IT HAS BEEN USED IN.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT AND AUDIBLE TONE COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY GOES AND COMES WHILE DRIVING AND OR IDLING. PASSENGER SIDE INFLATOR WAS REPLACED WITH RECALL. RESEARCHING THIS WARNING MANY 2014 JK'S ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. RESEARCH POINTS DIRECTLY TO THE CLOCK SPRING. FCA USA SHOULD REPLACE THE PART AS A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR RHD JK'S AND MANY LHD JK'S ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.

I ONLY HAVE 56,000 MILES ON MY 2014 JEEP RUBICON UNLIMITED AND THE MOTOR IS ALREADY MAKING A TICKING NOISE.. NOT ONLY DO I CHANGE MY OIL AT THE RECOMMENDED MILEAGE I ALSO BUY THE MOST EXPENSIVE AND THE BEST OIL SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

THE BACK SEAT BELT WRAPPED AROUND MY DAUGHTERS NECK AND THE LOCK MECHANISM WOULD NOT RELEASE AND EVERY TIME SHE PULLED ON IT THE BELT GOT TIGHTER UNTIL THE POINT SHE FAINTED AND COULD HAVE DIED HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR A PASSERBY CARRYING AN ARMY KNIFE, ALLOWING US TO CUT THE BELT THEREBY FREEING HER. ALMOST A DEATH SITUATION OUT OF THE BLUE. THIS HAPPENED WHEN WE WERE DRIVING AND THEN STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT TO RELEASE HER.*DT*JB*DT*DT*JB*JB*JB*DT*JB

WHILE DRIVING, AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN 20MPH OR MAYBE 10MINS OF DRIVING. LIGHT WILL GO OFF WHEN STOPPED. AND WILL RETURN AGAIN AT 20MPH OR 10MORE MIN OF DRIVING. IT WILL OCCASIONALLY STAY ON.

2014 JEEP WRANGLER POLAR ADDITION OIL COOLER FILTER HOUSING LEAK. MANY MANY JEEP'S ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. STARTED LEAKING OIL IN THIS AREA. SMELLED BURNING OIL WHEN I RUN IT AND ALSO GETS OVERHEATED. HTTPS://WWW.JK-FORUM.COM/FORUMS/STOCK-JK-TECH-12/ATTENTION-2014-WRANGLERS-HAVE-BAD-OIL-LEAK-PROBLEMS-303650/

ENGINE OIL LEAK (FIRE HAZARD). THE ENGINE OIL FILTER HOUSING (PART NUMBER 68105583AA) IS WIDELY REPORTED TO FAULTY BY OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE YEAR (2014). THIS PART CRACKS UNDER ROUTINE DRIVING AND LEAKS ENGINE OIL ONTO HOT SYSTEM COMPONENTS, SUCH AS THE EXHAUST CROSS OVER AND TRANSMISSION, WHERE THE OIL BURNS AND CREATES A FIRE HAZARD. MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS HAVE NOTICED THIS SMOKE BEFORE IT IGNITED. HOWEVER OTHERS HAVE REPORTED A FIRE. THE OIL LEAK GENERALLY OCCURS WHEN THE ENGINE HAS COME UP TO TEMPERATURE AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION LONG ENOUGH TO REACH NORMAL OPERATING OIL PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE. THE PROBLEM OCCURS IF THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, REGARDLESS OF ROAD CONDITIONS. THE LEAK IS NOT IMMEDIATELY DETECTED BY A LOW OIL PRESSURE, HIGH TEMPERATURE, OR OTHER SIMILAR WARNING, FURTHER INCREASING THE FIRE RISK. FURTHER, THE LEAKING OIL POSSES AN ENVIRONMENTAL DANGER AND IS HAZARDOUS. PRIOR MODEL YEARS HAD A DIFFERENT, METAL PART WHICH DOES NOT CRACK AND LEAK UNDER ROUTINE USE. IT IS BELIEVED WHEN THIS PART WAS REPLACED WITH A PLASTIC COMPONENT IN 2014+ MODELS, THE NEW, PLASTIC PART WAS DEFECTIVE OR INSUFFICIENT FOR ITS HIGH TEMPERATURE OPERATING ENVIRONMENT INSIDE THE ENGINE. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER (FCA). ATTACHED PHOTO SHOWS: OIL (LIGHT BROWN) POOLING BENEATH LEAKING OIL FILTER HOUSING (FOREGROUND) ON THE ENGINE BLOCK ITSELF.

2014 JEEP WRANGLER PENTASTAR OIL COOLER LEAKS WHICH POURS ONTO EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND STARTS ON FIRE. HAPPENED TO ME COMING HOME FROM WORK. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY AND I PUT IT OUT WITH MY EXTINGUISHER. OIL EVERYWHERE LEAKING DOWN ENGINE AND ON THE UNDER CARRIAGE. CAUGHT IT IN TIME AND NOTHING ELSE WAS EFFECTED. GOOD THING I WASN'T ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY WHOLE FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE. FCA US LLC SHOULD FIX THIS ISSUE. VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY WHEN UNEXPECTED. PLEASE FCA US LLC FIX THIS ISSUE SO IT NO LONGER HAPPENS TO OTHER FAMILIES. CAUSE IT SURE LOOKS LIKE IT'S A PROBLEM.

VEHICLE SHOWING CEL (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT) WITH NO PERFORMANCE ISSUES NOTED. CODE READ AND SHOWS P0520 RELATED TO THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR SWITCH. AFTER REVIEWING FORUMS, DETERMINED THAT A TSB EXISTS BUT NO RECALL ALTHOUGH THE DESIGN OF THE UNIT HAS BEEN CHANGED DUE TO DEFECT. REPLACING THIS UNIT TOOK A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AND EFFORT AS A LARGE AMOUNT OF THE TOP HALF OF THE MOTOR HAS TO BE REMOVED TO REVEAL THE SENSOR. REPLACED AND VEHICLE HAS BEEN OPERATING FREE OF THE CEL SINCE THAT TIME AND ACCURATE OIL PRESSURE READINGS ARE BEING RECEIVED. WITHOUT THE REPAIR, THE VEHICLE CANNOT PASS A NYS SAFETY INSPECTION AND FEATURES OF THE VEHICLE ARE DISABLED.

THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FAULTY OIL COOLERS THAT A BUNCH OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING AND JEEP SHOULD BE FIXING THESE AS A FAULTY PART. MANY OWNERS OF THE 2014 MODELS AND POSSIBLY OTHER MODELS HAVE EXPERIENCED CRACKED OIL COOLER HOUSINGS.

CLOCK SPRING- AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE WEB, THEIR ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS COMPLAIN AND WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. MY STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS DO NOT FUNCTION, ALONG WITH THE HORN. NOT HAVING THE HORN FUNCTIONING IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE I COULD HAVE DIED, SIMPLY BECAUSE OF MY UNFUNCTION CLOCK SPRING. A SEMI TRUCK WAS BACKING UP, NOT REALIZING I WAS BEHIND AND I COULD NOT USED MY HORN TO HUNK. IF IT WASN'T FOR ANOTHER DRIVER BY MY SIDE, THE SEMI TRUCK WOULD HAVE CRASHED ME. PLEASE WE NEED THIS TO BE A RECALL. THANKS

VEHICLE ONLY HAS ABOUT 66K MILES AND AFTER A NEW OIL CHANGE, I COULD HEAR A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE BAY. AFTER TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC AND RESEARCHING FOR SIMILAR ISSUES FROM OTHER JEEP OWNERS. IT SEEMS THE 3.6L PENTASTAR ENGINE IS NOTORIOUS FOR HAVING A CAMSHAFT OR LIFTER GO BAD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOVE PREOWNED AUTOCENTER (4401 S PADRE ISLAND DR, CORPUS CHRISTI, TX 78411), TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE RECEIVED A NEW COMPUTER AND THE RELAY PANEL WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND REMAINED AT THE DEALER UNREPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 71,452.

TOOK IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND THEY FOUND A LEAK IN THE BACK OF THE ENGINE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DRIPPING DOWN AFTER THE OIL CHANGE. COULD NOT FIND WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM.

CRACK IN OIL FILTER HOUSEING

MY JEEP STALLED TWICE WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. WOULD NOT START IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING EACH EVENT. LOSS OF BRAKES AND POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED CREATED SAFETY HAZARD TO ME AND SURROUNDING DRIVERS.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND LOST POWER LIKE IT DROPPED INTO NEUTRAL. PULL OVER TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND BY TIME I STOPPED HAD SMOKE COMING INTO THE CAB. GOT OUT AND SAW FLAMES IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT. CALLED POLICE AND FIRE BUT VEHICLE WAS TOTAL LOSS.*DT CONSUMER STATED THERE WERE NO ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND NO ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. FLAMES WERE COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE.*JB

THE PLASTIC OIL FILTER HOUSING CRACKED AT ABOUT 26,000 MILES CAUSING A MAJOR ENGINE OIL LEAK FROM THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. OIL HAS LEAKED DOWN AND SPLATTERED ALL OVER THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE TRANSMISSION AND EXHAUST PIPE CAUSING SIGNIFICANT SMOKING AND A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE ON 3.6L PENTASTAR V6 ENGINES AND THE THE ONLY FIX IS A REPLACEMENT OF THE PART AT A COST OF $830.

THE OIL FILTER ADAPTER IN MY JEEP WRANGLER CRACKED DOOR IS BROKEN AND IS CAUSING OIL TO LEAK INTO MY COOLER AND DAMAGE THAT

THE RADIO IN MY JK 2014 SAHARA KEPT OVER HEATING AND NOW DOES NOT WORK AT ALL IT IS COMPLETELY BLACK SCREEN

RADIATOR WENT BAD

CLOCK SPRING IS APPARENTLY DAMAGED AND NOT ALLOWING THE HORN, AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT OR RADIO CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO FUNCTION PROPERLY.

THE OIL COOLER/FILTER HOUSING IS LEAKING OIL. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE ON THE 2014 JEEP WRANGLER AS EVIDENCED ACROSS OWNERSHIP FORUMS AND WEBSITES. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 63,000 MILES AND IS DRIVEN ON NORMAL CITY/HIGHWAY STREETS. ALL NORMAL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE ON TIME AT DEALERSHIPS. I FEEL THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS PART DUE TO THE VOLUME OF REPAIRS AND THE NUMEROUS RE-DESIGNS THAT JEEP HAS PERFORMED ON THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. THE REDESIGNS SIGNAL THAT JEEP KNOWS THERE IS AN INHERENT DESIGN ISSUE THAT LEADS TO FAILURE.

LOUD TICKING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF ENGINE. A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH MANY MODEL YEARS OF JEEPS. I WAS TOLD I DO NOT HAVE THE WARRANTY ANY LONGER BECAUSE MY WARRANTY FOR THE VEHICLE STARTED IN 2013. IF I DID, THIS KNOWN ISSUE WOULD NOT BE COVERED. SHOP WANTED 3K DOLLARS TO REPAIR. SOUND HAPPENS WITH CAR RUNNING ALL THE TIME IN DRIVE OR JUST IDLE. GETS LOUDER AS I ACCELERATE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT DOES NOT ALWAYS STAY LATCHED IN PLACE. WHETHER OR NOT THE LATCH IS CONNECTED, IT SHOWS THAT THE SEATBELT NEEDS CONNECTED AND THE CHIME CONTINUOUSLY RINGS, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WORRIED WHETHER THIS WILL AFFECT OTHER SAFETY FEATURES, IN THE VEHICLE. ESPECIALLY THE AIRBAG. THIS ISSUE STARTED ON JULY 27, 2020.

WHEN MY 2014 JEEP WRANGLER JKU IS RUNNING, THERE IS A LOUD ENGINE TICKING NOISE THAT IS COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE ENGINE. IT IS A LIFTER THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE CAM. THE JEEP RUNS FINE, BUT THE NOISE IS TROUBLING. IT'S A COSTLY REPAIR!

MOTOR HAS A CONSTANT TIC SEEMS TO BE GETTING LOUDER AS TIME GOES ON

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD MY MECHANIC SHOP CHECK THE CODES AND THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR THAT IS MOUNTED IN THE OIL FILTER HOUSING WENT OUT AT 64000 MILES. THE REPAIRS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE SINCE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WILL NEED TO BE REMOVED TO REPLACE THE PARTS. THE OIL FILTER HOUSING WHICH THE OIL PRESSURE MOUNTS INTO WILL ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED SINCE IT WAS LEAKING. THE SHOP ADVISED THEY HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS AND THE ISSUE WAS VERY COMMON.

THE PLASTIC OIL FILTER HOUSING CRACKED AT ABOUT 80,000 MILES CAUSING A MAJOR ENGINE OIL LEAK FROM THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. OIL HAS LEAKED DOWN AND SPLATTERED ALL OVER THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE EXHAUST PIPE CAUSING SIGNIFICANT SMOKING AND A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE ON 3.6L PENTASTAR V6 ENGINES AND THE ONLY FIX IS A REPLACEMENT OF THE PART. THE MECHANIC ALSO PROVIDED HIS OPINION THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE IS A POOR DESIGN DUE TO MATERIAL DURABILITY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AT ITS REGULAR INTERVALS AND HAS RECEIVED LIGHT TO MODERATE USE OVER ITS LIFETIME SO FAR WITH MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. *TR

FRONT AXLE LEAKING SEALS ON BOTH SIDES ARE BAD, PAYED . $1100.00 TO GET IT FIX . 4 MONTHS LATER REAR AXLE SEALS NEED REPLACING . FRONT AN BACK LEAKED FLUIDS TO MY BRAKES WHICH SLIPPED THROUGH STOPPING DISTANCE. KNOW ANOTHER $1100.00. BRAKE PADS IN FRONT AND BACK STILL NEW WHEN CAR BOUGHT . MECHANICS CAN'T BELIEVE IT, BAD PARTS FROM FACTORY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE BRAKING SYSTEM ERRONEOUSLY ACTIVATED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ABRUPTLY STOP. DURING THE FAILURE TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS SENSOR WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED. SEVERAL MINUTES LATER THE SENSOR LIGHT DISAPPEARED AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS DESIGNED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

WHILE SITTING AT AN INTERSECTION, WE COULD SMELL BURNING OIL AND SMOKE. GOT THE JEEP HOME AND FOUND A STEADY DRIP OF OIL AROUND BELL HOUSING. FOUND THAT ENGINE VALLEY IS OVERFLOWING WITH OIL, OIL FILTER ADAPTER HOUSING FAILURE AND CAUSING OIL TO LEAK ONTO HOT ENGINE CREATING INTENSE SMOKE. FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE ON CHRYSLER/JEEP 3.6 LITER PENTASTAR ENGINES AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. THE REPAIR FOR THIS COMMON ENVIRONMENTAL FIRE HAZARD IS COSTLY. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL?

THE LIFTERS ARE SOUNDING AND CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO MAL FUNCTION OR STOP WORKING ALL TOGETHER. I KNOW OF 2 OTHER PEOPLE CLOSE TO ME THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO ALSO. *TR

I WAS JUST STARTING A DRIVE HOME WHEN SUDDENLY MY CARS "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON AND IT REFUSED TO GO HIGHER THAN 3RD GEAR. WITHIN MINUTES, MY ENGINE WAS STARTING TO OVERHEAT. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO COAST INTO A NEARBY AUTO REPAIR PLACE FOR THEM TO CHECK THINGS OUT. THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT MY OIL COOLING HOUSING CRACKED AND HAS BEEN LEAKING OIL EVERYWHERE, INCLUDING THE UNDERCARRIAGE (WHICH I'M TOLD IS A FIRE HAZARD). THEY ALSO SAID IT'S A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2014 MODELS AND THEY'RE SHOCKED JEEP HASN'T ISSUED A RECALL ON IT. I LATER DID SOME READING AND FOUND HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THIS FAULTY PART INSTEAD OF MAKING ALL OF US PAY $750+ TO FIX IT. *TR

I OWN A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SPORT. WENT FOR MY OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO REPLACE THE OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY BECAUSE IT CRACKED AND IS LEAKING OIL AND THE ENGINE OIL IS POOLING IN THE PAN. AT THE TUNE OF $1200. I WENT HOME AND FOUND THIS IS MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH HUNDREDS/ THOUSANDS HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2014 WRANGLERS. I SEE JUST A FEW WHO HAD THIS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT NOT WITHOUT A HASSLE FROM DEALERSHIPS. MOST, LIKE MYSELF ARE TOLD IT'S NOT COVERED. 5 YEAR/ 100,000 MI. NOW 6 YEARS. I BELIEVE I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR AWHILE BUT NOW AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED IT'S BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION. THE PROBLEM LIES WITH A PIECE CHANGED FROM METAL TO PLASTIC. IT CRACKED AND WILL BE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER PLASTIC PIECE THAT WILL MOST LIKELY CRACK AGAIN. IF THAT'S NOT BAD ENOUGH, I SEE IT'S ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD! HOT OIL POOLED IN THE BOTTOM PAN AND ON THE ENGINE HAS CAUSED FIRES. JEEP ON THEIR OWN HASN'T MADE THE OIL COOLER CRACK A RECALL. NO SURPRISE THERE. BUT IT'S TIME THEY NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT ! LOOK AT HOW MANY HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM! PLEASE!! *TR

OIL FILTER HOUSING/COOLER SEEMS TO BE LEAKING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. I AM NOT SURE HOW LONG THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING BUT IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. *TR

FOUR MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING A USED WRANGLER UNLIMITED I GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND CODES P0205 AND P0305. UPON READING UP ON THESE CODES IT IS A VERY WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 3.6L PENTASTAR ENGINE. THE INJECTOR COIL HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED IN CYLINDER 5 SO MY GUESS IS THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE SAME ISSUE. IT HAS SLIGHTLY OVER 60,000 MILES ON IT AND IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER ENGINE WARRANTY. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME WAS AFTER A 120 MILE DRIVE. I STOPPED FOR GAS AND WHEN I TURNED THE JEEP BACK ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. *TR
