2014 Jeep Wrangler complaints

SEEN OIL SPOTS ON MY DRIVEWAY SO I TOOK MY JEEP TO A DEALER WHERE A POND INVESTIGATING THEY FOUND THAT THE ENGINE OIL ADAPTER WAS LEAKING. THERE IS 51,668 MILES ON IT

THE OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY CRACKED CAUSING OIL TO GO ALL OVER THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION. IT'S AROUND 800.00+ TO REPLACE THIS PLASTIC PART AND IT'S A VERY VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL? I LITERALLY STARTED IT AND LET IT IDLE FOR 10 MINUTES BEFORE LEAVING FOR WORK AND IT DONE THIS IN MY CARPORT. OIL WAS EVERYWHERE.

2014 WRANGLER, LESS THAN 60,000 MILES, OIL FILTER HOUSING CRACKED. LEAKS A TON OF OIL NOW, SPLASHED IN THE EXHAUST, STINKS, AND COULD POSSIBLE START A FIRE. FOR SOME REASON THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THIS PARTICULAR YEAR AND MODEL BUT THERE ISN'T A RECALL 🤔

OIL COOLER LEAKING

CLOCK SPRING DRIVER SIDE IS WHAT ERROR CODE READ RECALL ON PASSENGER SIDE FIXED. NOW READING DRIVERS SIDE CLOCK SPRING

PARKING BRAKE FAILED CAUSING VEHICLE TO ROLL WHILE SOMEONE WAS WORKING UNDER THE VEHICLE. DEALER IS UNABLE TO ADJUST PARKING BRAKE TO REMOVE SLACK IN PARKING CABLES AND FCA IS UNWILLING TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARKING BRAKE LEVER THAT HAS A FAILED TENSIONING SPRING.

THE OIL COOLER BROKE AND IS LEAKING OIL ALL OVER MY ENGINE, TRANSFER CASE AND EXHAUST. JEEP SAYS IT'S COMMON AND THEY EXPECT ME TO PAY $850 OUT OF MY POCKET FOR A PLASTIC PART THAT WILL FAIL AGAIN. SHAME ON THEM. IT WAS SITTING IN MY GARAGE AND OIL IS EVERYWHERE ON THE GROUND. IT'S TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE

TRANSMISSION LEAKING OIL ONTO EXHAUST PIPE WHILE DRIVING. JUST STARTED 2 DAYS AGO. LEAKED APPROXIMATELY 1 PINT IN 30 MILES TRAVEL ON HIGHWAY. UNDER SIDE OF VEHICLE COVERED WITH OIL.

APPROXIMATELY 8 MONTHS AGO, I HAD MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH MY JKU SHIFTING INCORRECTLY WHILE GOING UP & DOWN THE STREETS WHICH I LIVE ON IN KAILUA KONA, HAWAII. I LIVE ON A VOLCANO & THUS THE STREETS ARE AT A GREAT DEGREE, UP TO 25% GRADE. MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ON ITS OWN WAS COMING UP A STREET WHERE I DOWNSHIFTED TO 2ND GEAR....THE JEEP THEN SHIFTED INTO 1ST ON ITS OWN AND THEN UPSHIFTED TO 3RD, THEN DOWN TO 2ND & THEN TO 1ST, ALL ON ITS OWN. I THEN CAME TO A STOP SIGN & PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE FOR AUTOMATIC HOPING THAT IT WOULD STOP. FOR ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS AFTER THAT, IT SEEMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE & THEN NOTHING. IT DROVE FINE. I NEVER TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM THAT ONE OR TWO INSTANCES. ON 8/5/19 I TOOK MY JEEP IN FOR A REGULAR OIL CHANGE. KONA KWIK LUBE LOOKED AT EVERYTHING & SAID THAT EVERYTHING ON THE JKU LOOKED GREAT. I THEN HAD TO LEAVE TOWN FOR A WEEK & UPON RETURN FROM THE MAINLAND, I HAD NUMEROUS DROPS (OF WHAT I THOUGHT WAS OIL) ON THE FLOOR OF MY CARPORT. I TOOK MY JEEP TO REPAIR SHOP FOR DIAGNOSTIC & WAS TOLD THAT THEY SAW SIGNS OF OIL LEAK FROM THE OIL FILTER HOUSING, BUT WERE UNABLE TO PINPOINT LOCATION OF LEAK. AS I KNEW THE MANAGER OF KKL, I TOOK IT BACK THERE. THEY CLEANED UP THE AREA & STATED THAT IT WAS NOT OIL LEAK. UPON RETURNING HOME, I HAD NO LEAKS COMING FROM THE JEEP FOR 2 WEEKS.THEN THE LEAKS STARTED. I WENT BACK TO KKL ON 10/9/19 WHERE THEY PUT DYE IN THE ENGINE TO FIND THE LEAK. ON 10/

MANY SERVICE LIGHTS RELATED TO EVAPORATION LEAK, DEALER KEPT RESETTING, AND REPLACED GAS CAP AND PAID FOR COUNTLESS CHECKS EACH TIME THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR. FINALLY DISCOVERED FUEL WAS LEAKING OUT OF THE TANK, AND AS A RESULT I HAD TO REPLACE MY FUEL TANK, FUEL FILLER HOSE, FUEL TRANSFER TUBE, FUEL VAPOR TUBE, FUEL CANISTER PURGE, AND FUEL SUPPLY TUBE AT A HIGH COST. WHEN SPEAKING TO THE DEALER GIVEN THE CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD, THEY INDICATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP WRANGLERS AND THAT IN THAT WEEK ALONE THEY HAD DONE 4 OR 5 FUEL TANK REPLACEMENTS. DURING ALL OF THIS MY VEHICLE WAS UNDRIVEABLE FOR 2 MONTHS.

ENGINE COOLANT AND OIL SPRAYED THE UNDERSIDE OF THE JEEP STARTED SMOKING PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED THEN 4 MONTHS LATER THE COOLANT IS STARTING TO LEAK AGAIN. WAS TOLD THE PARTS ARE CHEAPLY MADE AND I AM BETTER OFF DITCHING THIS JEEP BEFORE IT CATCHES FIRE.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT JUST CAME ON IN MY 2014 JEEP JK. AFTER DILIGENT RESEARCH ONLINE, AND WITH THE MECHANICAL KNOWLEDGE I HAVE. I HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. AFTER RESEARCHING FURTHER, I FOUND IN NUMEROUS THREADS, POST, BLOGS, AND FORUMS, THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH ALL JEEP JK'S. A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE 07 AND 08 JK'S, AND ALSO FOR THE NEWER MODEL RIGHT HAND DRIVE JK'S. HOWEVER, THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED IN THE 09 THROUGH 18 JK'S. THIS CAN CAUSE SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAGS, AND BELIEVE JEEP SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THESE LATTER YEAR JK'S AS WELL. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING BACK HOME FROM ACROSS TOWN. AT FIRST WITH THE LIGHT AND CHIME COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. THEN FINALLY THE LIGHT STAYED ON. I HAVE NOT BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE THIS AS I BELIEVE I HAVE DONE SO ON MY OWN. THIS IS A QUITE EXPENSIVE FIX FOR A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I DON'T BELIEVE JEEP BUYERS SHOULD HAVE TO PAY.

AIR BAG LIGHT ON, SHOP SAYS THE CLOCK SPRING GOES BAD FAIR OFTEN IN JEEPS. STILL DRIVING IT WITHOUT THE NEEDED REPAIRS. DEALER SAYS RECALL ON MINE WAS FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS AND EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE HAD JEEP RECALLS REGARDING THE CLOCK SPRING, MY JEEP IS NOT SHOWING UP UNDER THAT RECALL.

HORN PROBLEM - HORN APPEARS TO RUN OFF A RELAY, SO WHEN HORN IS DEPRESSED IT TAKES .5-1 SECOND FOR A IT TO SOUND. A REAL SAFETY CONCERN IF SOMEONE IS QUICKLY MERGING INTO MY LANE AND I CAN'T WARN THEM THAT I AM THERE - WHICH HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW.

DEALER SAYS I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE RECALLS OUT ON THE JEEP WRANGLER I OWN. ONE IS FOR THE CLOCK SPRING RECALL WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED. NOW THERE IS ANOTHER RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO GET THESE FIXED.

OIL COOLER/FILTER POOLS OUT OIL BECAUSE OF PLASTIC HOUSING. THIS WEARS, CRACKS DURING ROUTINE OIL CHANGES. THE OIL POOLS AND DRIPS ALL OVER TRANSMISSION HOUSING, UNDER SKID PLATES AND YOU SIMPLY LOSE ALL OF YOUR OIL. NO A GOOD DESIGN, SIMPLY LAZY BY CHRYSLER.

COOLENT ELBOW WITH THERMOSTAT TENDS TO DEVELOP A SMALL LEAK , LEAKING COULD RESULT IN A ENGIN SEIZURE OR BEING STRANDED ON HIGHWAY/OFF ROAD NOT SIRE IF THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE OR ISOLATED

ALL BUTTONS EXCEPT CRUISE CONTROL ON THE STEERING WHEEL HAVE QUIT WORKING. THE HORN WON'T WORK EITHER. WHEN IT QUIT WORKING THE VOLUME BUTTONS STARTED ACTING UP THEN IT ALL JUST QUIT AT ONCE. I'M SURE IF ALL THAT HAS STOPPED WORKING THEN THE AIR BAG WON'T EITHER. I BELIEVE IT'S THE CLOCK SPRING CAUSING ALL THIS CHAOS.

DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY ALL DASH LIGHTS FLASH ON INCLUDING TRACTION LIGHT AND ABS AND FEELS LIKE MY BRAKES ARE PUMPING EVEN WHEN I DID NOT TOUCH THE BRAKES WITH DINGING SOUND RADIO SHUTS OFF, HORN DOES NOT WORK OR THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO WORK THE RADIO. VERY DANGEROUS ESP WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY.

EARLY MAY 2019 MY JEEP'S STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS STARTED MALFUNCTIONING AND NOW COMPLETELY NOT WORKING. THE HORN STOPPED WORKING, RADIO AND HANDS FREE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I CAN NOT USE MY DASH SCREEN AT ALL AND IT'S JUST SHOWING '- - '. I COULD NOT USE MY HORN ON MAY10TH AND WAS CUT OFF AND AS A RESULT WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. THE FRONT END WAS SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED AND THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND I BUSTED MY FACE ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND HIT HEAD ON WINDSHIELD. DIAGNOSTIC SCAN SAID THERE WAS 0 CODES PRIOR TO ACCIDENT AND THAT TRIGGERED ME TO DO RESEARCH ON THE CLOCK SPRING RECALL BUT MY VIN IS NOT UNDER IT???

WHEN I AM ON THE HIGHWAY AND I'M GOING AT FASTER SPEED THEN ON THE CITY STREET THERE IS A WOBBLE AND MY TRUCK FEELS AS IF IT IS GOING TO FLIP OVER OR SOMETHING. ALSO WHEN I AM ON THE CITY STREETS AND DRIVE OVER AND UNEVEN PAVEMENT I GET THE SAME WOBBLE OR SOMETIMES IT FEELS AS IF MY TRUCK IS BEING LIFTED OFF THE GROUND.

DEALER FOUND CODE SAYING COCKSPRING HAS ELECTRICAL FAILURE. ITEM WAS REPLACED FOR THE 2ND TIME - LAST BEING AT 73,416 MILE UNDER A SAFETY RECALL S40 IN 2016. STILL USING THE SAME - NOT IMPROVED JEEP/CHRYSLER- PART WHICH COST ME $622.74 TO REPLACE WHICH LASTED 66,155 MILES BETWEEN REPLACEMENTS. THIS DEFECTIVE PART AFFECTS AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. NO IMPROVEMENT IN RECALLED PART BY JEEP/CHRYSLER ????????? EVEN THOUGH IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART. THEY USE THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART TO REPLACE ONE THAT HAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE.

ADD ME TO THE LONG LIST OF PEOPLE WITH ENGINE OIL LEAKING FROM THE OIL FILTER/COOLER

HOOD LATCHES WOULD FLEX SO BAD THE HOOD WOULD FLUTTER AND ACT AS THOUGH IT WAS FIXING TO FLY UP EVERY TIME A HEAVY GUSTY WIND OR A LARGE VEHICLE WOULD ME ME COMING IN ON COMING TOWARDS ME.

TAKATA RECALL - TRYING TO GET A RECALL OF AIRBAG ISSUE TAKEN CARE OF AT DEALER AND AM TOLD TO KEEP CALLING THEY ARE NOT SURE WHEN THEY WILL GET PARTS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS RECALL OF PASSENGER AIRBAG AND HAS BEEN SINCE JANUARY. MY SON HAS TO TRAVEL 800 MILES AUGUST 10TH AND NOW FEEL EXTREMELY UNSAFE. FYI... I RECEIVED LETTER FROM DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLE IN NYS TO NOTIFY US, NOT FROM MANUFACTURER.

WINDY DAY ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY HOOD WAS FLUTTERING SO BAD THAT I HAD TO GET OFF THE HIGH WAY FOR THE FEAR OF MY LIFE. ONE OF THE LATCHES CAME UN DONE DURRING THAT TIME AND FEARED MY HOOD WOULD FLIP OPEN AND BLOCK MY WINDAHIELD

WHEN I GET ON THE HIGHWAY AND DRIVE OVER 60 MPH THE HOOD WILL FLUTTER MASSIVELY LIKE IT'S GOING TO FLY UP AND SLAM INTO MY WINDSHIELD. I'VE HEARD THAT THE MATCHES ARE GIVING OUT FROM THE FACTORIES AND HAVE HEARD LOTS OF STORIES OF THEM BREAKING.

FOR 2014, CHRYSLER MADE A CHANGE TO A PART CALLED THE "OIL FILTER ADAPTER" WHICH SITS ON TOP OF THE ENGINE, UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THERE ARE NOW A PARADE OF PEOPLE WITH VARIOUS CHRYSLER VEHICLES THAT USE THE 3.6L REPORTING THAT THE NEW PART CRACKS, CAUSING A MAJOR OIL LEAK, POTENTIALLY A FIRE, AND CAN CAUSE YOUR ENGINE TO BE DRAINED OF ALL OIL. PART NUMBER IS 68105583AA AND IT APPLIES ONLY TO 3.6L CHRYSLER V6 ENGINES. I PURCHASED THE JEEP USED AND NOW HAVE JUST OVER 60K MILES - CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO COVER UNDER THEIR "100K MILE" POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND I STILL HAVE ALMOST 40K MILES TO GO BEFORE I REACH 100K MILES.

VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP WHEN BRAKE WAS APPLIED AT INTERSECTION. BRAKE PEDAL WAS DOWN AT FLOOR AND IT FELT AS THOUGH THE ABS WAS KICKING ON, ALSO THE STEERING WAS AFFECTED. NOTE: BRAKE INSPECTION WAS DONE AT BILL MARSH DEALERSHIP IN KALKASKA,MI 10 DAYS PRIOR TO INCIDENT AND BRAKES SUPPOSEDLY WERE OK

DOOR HINGES ARE RUSTING FROM UNDERNEATH THE PAINT. "AT THE START OF THE 2007 MODEL YEAR, JEEP STARTED USING ALUMINUM HINGES THAT CARRY A SECRET; A FLAW IN THE WAY THAT THE ALUMINUM IS ANODIZED CAUSES OXIDATION UNDER THE PAINT, EVEN WITH THE ABSENCE OF AIR AND WATER.WHAT YOU ESSENTIALLY HAVE IS A VEHICLE WITH HINGES THAT ARE SUBPAR."

AIRBAG RECALL: I'VE HAD AN AIRBAG LIGHT ON FOR OVER A YEAR NOW BUT NO ACTIVE RECALL WAS OUT FOR MY VIN AT THE TIME I CHECKED WITH THE DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. RECENTLY, THE ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUED TO COME ON WITH A FAULT CODE FOR THE AIRBAG. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE LARRY H MILLER DODGE LOCATED AT 4220 E 22ND ST, TUCSON, AZ 85711 TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. AFTER WRITING UP A WORK ORDER FOR ENGINE DIAGNOSTICS I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL STATING I WOULD NEED A CLOCKSPRING TO RECTIFY THE AIRBAG PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME I INFORMED THEM THAT THERE WAS AN ACTIVE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE, WHICH THEY WERE UNAWARE OF DESPITE HAVING PRINTED THE INFORMATION WHEN THEY CHECKED THE VEHICLE IN (NOBODY ACTUALLY CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL, THEY SIMPLY PRINTED THE NECESSARY VIN CHECK PAPERWORK). IN ADDITION TO THIS I ALSO HAVE LOST CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION AS WELL AS HAVING TO PRESS EXTREMELY HARD ON MY STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS FOR THEM TO WORK. SOUNDS SIMILAR TO OTHER PEOPLES' REPORTED PROBLEMS. I FEEL I SHOULDN'T BE CHARGED A DIAGNOSTIC IN THE FIRST PLACE AS THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST THING THAT WAS CHECKED AND CORRECTED BEFORE ANYTHING BUT I'LL HAVE TO TAKE THAT UP WITH THEM.

IN SEPTEMBER OF 2017 I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE FROM AUTONATION JEEP DODGE CHRYSTLER IN KATY TEXAS. WITH THIS PURCHASE THERE WAS WRITTEN NOTICE OF IT BEING CERTIFIED WITH A COMPLETE INSPECTION DONE. THIS INSPECTION NOTES AND CERTIFIES THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE, USABLE, AND WITH NO DEFECTS. THIS DOCUMENT SPECIFICALLY NOTED SEVERAL ITEMS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE SUSPENSION OF THE JEEP. ALL NOTED AS CERTIFIED. AFTER POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE AN EVENT OCCURRED WHERE THE JEEP LOST CONTROL, PUTTING MY LIFE AND FAMILY'S LIFE AT RISK AS WE WERE THROWN INTO ANOTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC. WE HAD NO UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS ISSUE AS WE UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS JEEP WAS CERTIFIED, BOTH WRITTEN AND ORALLY. I THEN TOOK THE JEEP TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT CAUSED THE JEEP TO LOSE CONTROL. THE DEALERSHIP THEN FOUND THAT THE SHOCKS WERE NOT FASTENED PROPERLY BECAUSE OF MODIFICATIONS DONE BY EITHER AUTONATION JEEP DODGE CHRYSTLER IN KATY TEXAS OR A 3RD PARTY. NONE OF THIS WAS DISCLOSED IN THE WRITTEN OR ORAL CERTIFICATION OF THE VEHICLE. DODGE CHRYSTLER IN KATY TEXAS DENIED LIABILITY AND REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FALSE WRITTEN AND ORAL CERTIFICATION OF THE VEHICLE. MY OPINION IS THAT THE JEEP IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND MAY NEVER BE SAFE TO DRIVE IN THE FUTURE. AUTONATION JEEP DODGE CHRYSTLER IN KATY TEXAS SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THESE MODIFICATIONS AND SAFETY ISSUES DURING THEIR INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS INSPECTION WHICH WAS PASSED, SHOWN WRITTEN AND TOLD VERBA

TAKATA RECALL WE GOT THE NOTICED ABOUT THE RECALL. HOW IT COULD BE LIFE THREATENING. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS HOW A RECALL CAN BE PUT OUT LIKE THAT AND THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. WE TOOK OUR JEEP TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD PART HAD TO BE ORDERED. LITTLE OVER A MONTH AND THE PART STILL WASN'T IN. NEEDLESS TO SAY OUR JEEP WAS IN A WRECK. NOW MY HUSBAND HAS NIGHTMARES BECAUSE WE WERE HEADING FOR A MEDIAN WALL STRAIGHT ON. SOME HOW HE GOT THE WHEEL TURNED JUST ENOUGH SO WE HIT THE CORNER OF THE BUMPER. THANK GOD THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AS I COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY HURT OR DIED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY GETTING PARTS TAKES SO LONG. SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE WHEN IT IS THE MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH JEEP AND THEY WANTED TO KNOW WHERE OUR JEEP WAS SO THEY COULD LOOK AT IT. WHY DOES THAT MATTER?! IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT IT TAKES SO LONG TO GET PARTS. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS IS MY WHOLE REASON IN WRITING YOU. CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT FOR PARTS ESPECIALLY WHEN THAT PART IS IN A VEHICLE. THE DATE BELOW IS THE DATE OF OUR ACCIDENT.

3.6 TICKING NOISE SOUNDS LIKE LIFTERS OR ROCKERS

ENGINE STARTED TICKING SOUNDS LIKE A VALVE OR LIFTER

JEEP HAS A KNOWN EPIC FAILURE IS DESIGN FLAW IN ITS 2014 WRANGLER WHEN IT SWITCHED FROM A METAL OIL FILTER COOLER HOUSING TO A PLASTIC OIL FILTER COOLER HOUSING. HUNDREDS OF CASES OF THE PART BREAKING/LEAKING OIL ALL OVER LOWER ENGINE AND EXHAUST WHICH IS A FIRE HAZARD. MY PART LEAKED OIL OVER AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF TIME BECAUSE I LIVE WITH A GRAVEL DRIVEWAY.....NOW DEALER SHOWS ME "METAL" LIKE GLOW TO OIL WHICH COULD BE ENGINE FAILURE.....HUNDREDS OF CASES

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. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2014'S, WHICH CAN BE FOUND VIA A QUICK AND SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH. CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN I DISCOVERED THE LEAK. CAR DEALERSHIP VERIFIED THE ISSUE AND SUPPLIED ME WITH AN ESTIMATE, STATING THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE. ABOUT 3 HOUR REPAIR AND COULD COST 700-1100.

I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP AT NIGHT IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. I LOOKED DOWN AND THERE WAS A SHARP TURN IN THE ROAD. BY THE TIME I REALIZED IT, IT WAS TOO LATE AND I HIT THE GUARD RAIL. THE FIRE STARTED RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY WINDSHIELD. I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT BUT WITHIN MINUTES MY ENTIRE JEEP THAT WAS LESS THAT A YEAR OLD AT THE TIME WAS COMPLETELY CONSUMED IN FLAMES. THE FRONT END WAS STILL IN TACT SO THE DAMAGE IN MY OPINION WAS NOT NEARLY ENOUGH TO RESULT IN TOTAL LOSS.

I HAVE CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER AS WELL AS JEEP DIRECTLY AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PART TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE IS NOT AVAILABLE. THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING FOR THREE MONTHS.

I HAVE TAKEN MY WRANGLER IN FOR THE 2ND TIME NOW WITH A BLACK SLUDGE IN THE OVERFLOW AND RADIATOR. THE LAST DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE RADIATOR, TRANS COOLER, ALL HOSES AND AND FLUSHED. NOW ONE YEAR LATER I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOW TELLING ME THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE ISSUE IS, AND IS WANTING TO CHARGE ME FOR A FLUSH. THIS COOLANT IS RATED TO 150,000 MILES I SHOULD NOT NEED A FLUSH. I BELIEVE I MAY BE APART OF AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH SAND IN THE HEATER CORE AS THEY WANT TO REPLACE THIS BUT SAYING IT MAY NOT BE COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. THERE IS ALWAYS AN ODOR OF ANTI-FREEZE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE NOTICED WHEN AROUND OTHER WRANGLER JK'S I SMELL THE ANTIFREEZE WITH THEM TOO.
