2014 Jeep Wrangler complaints

LEFT HAND SIDE TOGGLE ( THAT SWITCHES TURN SIGNALS ON AND OFF) CAUSES LCD DISPLAY TO GLITCH OUT WHEN THE HEAD LIGHT CONTROL IS TURNED ALL THE WAY UP. FRIED MY LCD, REPLACEMENT $6000, NOW I NEED TO REPLACE HE TOGGLE , $375. ONLY GLITCHES ON ONE PARTICULAR SETTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT FELL ASLEEP BEHIND THE WHEEL AND CRASHED INTO A GUARDRAIL. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT WHERE THE INSURANCE COMPANY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 73,000. *DT *TR*JB

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS WINDY PER USUAL IN MIDWEST. I MET A SEMI AND BOTH RUBBER HOOD LATCHES SNAPPED. THE HOOD WAS FLUTTERING WILDLY HELD IN PLACE ONLY BY THE SAFETY HOOD CATCH. I MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, FOUND A JEEP DEALER ABOUT 30 MILES AWAY AND MADE IT THERE VIA NASTY DIRT ROADS FOR AN UNPLANNED EMERGENCY STOP TO GET IT TO REPLACED SO I COULD CONTINUE MY 6 HOUR JOURNEY. MY JEEP HAS NOT BEEN SUBJECTED TO UNUSUAL CONDITIONS, AND, IN FACT, HAS HAD A SHELTERED, HEATED GARAGE STALL AT LEAST HALF OF IT'S LIFE.

FIRST FEW YEARS HAD 2 MAJOR OIL LEAKS WHERE THEY TOOK APART CAR TO REPAIR. I BROUGHT CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGE ASKING THEM TO CHECK OIL THAT IS LEAKING FROM BOTTOM. WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS LEAKING. WEEKS LATER MY ENGINE WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING 2 CYLINDERS $4000 REPAIR. TWO MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY. NOW MY JEEP IS LEAKING OIL AGAIN AND I'M SURE IF I TRUST THE JEEP DEALER AT THIS POINT. PLEASE HELP

I HAD A RECALL ON PASSENGER AIRBAG AND HAD IT REPAIRED AT DEALERSHIP. SINCE THE REPAIR, MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND THEY SAY I NEED A CLOCKSPRING REPLACED. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN UNTIL THEY REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. NOW THEY ARE SAYING I WILL HAVE TO PAY OVER $800 TO REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING. I ONLY HAVE 62,000 MILES ON THE JEEP AND IT SHOULDN'T NEED THIS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT SOMETHING HAPPENED WHEN WHEN THEY DID THE RECALL REPAIR.

ON 4/17/19, I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 JEEP WRANGLER JK STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT (WITH MY WINDOW DOWN) WHEN I DETECTED THE ODOR OF BURNING OIL. I THOUGHT IT WAS FROM SOMEONE ELSE'S CAR. ON 4/21/19, I DETECTED THE ODOR AGAIN, AND WHEN I GOT HOME I OBSERVED OIL LEAKING AND ALL OVER THE UNDERSIDE OF MY VEHICLE. IT ALSO APPEARED TO BE DRIPPING ON MY HOT EXHAUST WHICH IS A FIRE HAZARD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT'S DUE A CRACKED PLASTIC OIL COOLER HOUSING, IT'S GOING TO SET ME BACK A LOT OF MONEY, AND THE ISSUE MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. I'M LUCKY THAT THE OIL DID NOT CATCH ON FIRE. I'VE DONE RESEARCH ONLINE AND SEE THAT NUMEROUS 2014 JEEP WRANGLERS HAVE THIS OIL LEAKAGE DUE TO DESIGN FLAW UTILIZING PLASTIC PARTS.

OIL FILTER/COOLER HOUSING LEAK. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2014/15 PENSTAR ENGINES. HAPPENING AROUND 50,000 MILES OR 5/6 OIL CHANGE. LEAK CAUSES OIL TO POOL ON TOP OF ENGINE AND RUNNING DOWN ONTO THE EXHAUST AND TRANSMISSION PAN. CAN LEAK AS MUCH AS .5 QUARTS OF OIL IN A SHORT MATTER OF TIME. THIS IS A $600 FIX AT A DEALER. RESEARCH SHOWS IT IS VERY COMMON. SOMETHING THIS COMMON SHOULD NOT BE PUT ON THE OWNERS EXPENSE.

THE CLOCKSPRING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IN MY CAR. THIS IS A FIVE YEAR OLD CAR. THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE AND A DEFECT AS PREVIOUS MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. HORN DOESN'T WORK. CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK. BUTTONS DO NOT WORK. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THIS CAN CAUSE THE AIR BAG TO NOT WORK.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH THE JEEP FRONT END AND STEERING STARTED TO VIOLENTLY STAKE AND WOBBLE AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL THE JEEP CAME TO FULL STOP. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD AFTER ENCOUNTERING A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. AGAIN THIS VIOLENT WOBBLE DID NOT STOP UNTIL THE JEEP CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V018000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED SAM LEMAN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE OF PEORIA (1801 W PIONEER PKWY, PEORIA, IL 61615, (309) 692-1801) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

AT 167414 MILES FOUND CLUTCH SLIPPING, TROUBLESHOT TO CLUTCH BEING SATURATED WITH ENGINE OIL. PRIOR TO THE CLUTCH SLIPPING THE OIL FILTER HOUSING CRACKED TWICE AND REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY TWICE, SUSPECTED LEAK CAUSED CLUTCH TO BE SATURATED. DEALER PLACE DYE IN OIL TO VERIFY LEAK IS FIXED. ALSO TRYING TO WORK WITH DEALER TO REPLACE CLUTCH AT REASONABLE PRICE SONCE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY A WARRANTIED PART. WHILE TRANSMISSION WAS OUT ALSO FOUND TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK FROM THE INPUT SHAFT SEAL I HAVE ASKED DEALER TO FIX THIS ISSUE, BUT ONLY RECOMMENDED A TRANSMISSION SERVICE, NOTHING TO VERIFY THE LEAK AND VERIFY THE INPUT SHAFT IS NOT SCORNED OR DAMAGED. WILL TAKE TO ANOTHER DEALER AFTER BEING CHECKED FOR THE DYE, ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE. PHOTOS ATTACHED SHOW OIL AROUND CLUTCH, BELL HOUSING COATED WITH OIL AND THE INPUT SHAFT LEAK.

RANDOMLY THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND SHUT OFF THE SAME DAY. THE NEXT DAY IT CAME BACK ON AND WON'T GO OFF. THIS IS NEW. THE RADIO SKIPS EVERY COUPLE OF SECONDS AND INTERRUPTS ALL SOUND MAKING A POPPING NOISE FROM EVERY SPEAKER. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I AM USING THE AUXILIARY SATELLITE AM FM OR EVEN DO YOU CONNECT DEVICE. USUALLY IF IT IS THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED THAT DAY THE RADIO WORKS FINE ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE UNTIL IT IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR IT STOPPED FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND STARTED UP AGAIN.

OIL COOLER HOUSING LEAKING OIL AT 30,000 MILES

PAINT BLISTERS ON DOOR HINGES

THE MECHANISM OF WHAT HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE IS UNDETERMINED WHETHER IT WAS STATIONARY OR WHILE DRIVING. HOWEVER I NOTICED A MASSIVE OIL LEAK AFTER DRIVING. THE ENTIRE UNDER SIDE OF THE JEEP WHERE THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE ARE WERE COMPLETELY SOAKED IN MOTOR OIL. AFTER TAKING IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP, THEY DIAGNOSED IT TO BE A LEAK COMING FROM THE ACTUAL OIL COOLER HOUSING. COME TO FIND OUT MY VEHICLE HAS ALREADY PASSED ITS WARRANTY COVERAGE DATE. AND AFTER DOING A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH, IT SEEMS I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR JEEP, NOT SPECIFICALLY JUST THE 2014 MODELS OTHERS AS WELL. OTHER THAN THE COMPLAINTS FROM INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE PURCHASED A JEEP, I HAVE YET TO FIND ANY COMMENT FROM MOPAR, CHRYSLER, OR THE JEEP MANUFACTURER THEMSELVES ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF HAVING A PLASTIC OIL COOLER HOUSING. FYI ITS NOT THAT EASY OF A REPAIR SO IT COULD BE QUITE COSTLY TO SOME.

TAKATA RECALL-I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY 2014 JEEP AIR BAG. IT STATED THAT IT WAS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO TAKE STEPS TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED MY JEEP. A FEW DAYS LATER THE DEALERSHIP CALLED AND TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY PARTS TO FIX MY JEEP TO MAKE IT SAFE. I ASKED WHEN THEY EXPECTED TO HAVE THE PART AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW, THAT THE COMPANY HAD GONE BANKRUPT AND DID NOT MAKE THE AIRBAG. I TOLD THEM I DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT ANSWER AND THAT I DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE MY JEEP IN FEAR THAT THE AIRBAG MIGHT ERUPT CAUSING DEATH TO MYSELF OR MY PASSENGERS. I ASKED THEM IF THEY COULD DISASSEMBLE THE AIR BAG SO AS TO RELIEVE THIS POSSIBILITY OF INJURY OR DEATH AND THEY SAID NO THEY COULD NOT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND I AM REACHING OUT TO YOU AS INSTRUCTED IN THE AFOREMENTIONED LETTER. PLEASE HELP!

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V018000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. FRANKLING CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 1124 MURFREESBORO RD, FRANKLIN, TN 37064, (615) 266-0145) WAS CALLED AND STATED THAT THE PART WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR APPROXIMATELY ANOTHER FOUR WEEKS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL OUR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR (PAB). I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT ON AT PREMIER CAPE COD ON MARCH 19TH TO HAVE IT SERVICED FOR THE RECALL ON MARCH 30TH, TO BE TOLD THEY DON'T DO RECALLS ON SATURDAYS. I WORK AND LIVE TWO HOURS FROM THIS LOCATION SO IT'S VERY INCONVENIENT FOR ME TO GET TO THIS LOCATION DURING THE WORK WEEK, AS I TRAVEL FREQUENTLY AS WELL. THE EARLIEST I CAN GET THE JEEP TO THE CAPE IS FRIDAY, APRIL 26TH AND EVEN THAT IS SUBSTANTIALLY INCONVENIENT - THEY ARE UNWILLING TO PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER FOR THE SERVICE AS WELL. I'M DISAPPOINTED AND CONCERNED GIVEN THAT "AN INFLATOR EXPLOSION MAY CAUSE METAL FRAGMENTS TO PASS THROUGH THE AIR BAG AND INTO THE VEHICLE INTERIOR WHICH MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH." ANYWAY, JUST THOUGHT I'D PUT IN MY TWO CENTS.

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE AND TRIED TO SCHEDULE APPOIMTMENT FOR REPAIRS AND DEALER CAN'T GET PARTS AND TOLD ME TO TRY BACK EVERY MONTH OR SO. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!

CRACKED WINDSHIELD FROM SIMPLY TURNING ON MY DEFROSTER.. WAS DRIVING , WINDOWS FOGGED AND TURNED UP HEAT AND DEFROST. NEXT THING I KNOW THERE IS A HORIZINTAL CRACK FROM THE LOWER CENTER THAT THEN TURNS VERTICALLY TOWARDS THE PASSENGER SIDE..UNBELIEVABLE!!

OIL FILTER ADAPTER HOUSING HAS BROKE

2014 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. STARTED WITH BURNING OIL SMELL IN VEHICLE. THEN PUDDLE ON THE GROUND WHEREVER I PARKED. WENT BACK TO SEE IF THEY PUT THE OIL FILTER ON WRONG. FOUND OUT IT WAS THE OIL HOUSING LEAKING. TAKING INTO JEEP FOR REPAIR ON 03/07/2019 MILAGE 94,000. SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL, THERE ARE SO MANY VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUES.

2014 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. STARTED WITH BURNING OIL SMELL IN VEHICLE. THEN PUDDLE ON THE GROUND WHEREVER I PARKED. HAD DEALER REPLACE ENGINE OIL COOLER MARCH 4TH 2019. MILAGE 87,000. SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL WITHOUT A DOUBT SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUES.

40000 MILES AND THE REAR MAIN SEAL IS ALREADY LEAKING BAD. HAPPENED WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT IN 2016 AND THE DEALER SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG OR LEAKING AS I WAS LOOSING OIL.. NOW IT'S LEAKING TERRIBLY BAD AND THEY WON'T COVER IT.

ENGINE LIGHT IS ON DO TO OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. FROM EVERYTHING I'M READING THIS IS VERY COMMON IN THE JEEP WRANGLERS. WHY ISN'T THIS RECALLED. I WAS QUOTED $600.00 TO GET THIS FIX. I AM TOLD NOT TO DRIVE THIS AS IT COULD RUIN THE ENGINE.

I HAVE THE 2014 JEEP WRANGLER WITH ONLY 47000 MILES. I HAVE KEPT EXCELLENT CARE OF THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS USED ONLY AS DAILY DRIVER WITH NO ABUSE WHATSOEVER.JUST WITHIN THE MONTH OF 2/2019 A CODE; P0305 MISFIRE DEVELOPED WITH THE TYPICAL PENASTAR ENGINE "KNOCK" AND IDLING ROUGH. ALSO, THE LAST WEEK OF 2/2019 THERE WAS A LARGE OIL SPOT ON MY GARAGE FLOOR DUE TO AN OIL COOLER/OIL HOUSING LEAK. WE IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE SERVICE SUPERVISOR AT THE DEALERSHIP WHO STATED THAT THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON OCCURANCE AND THE OIL COOLER/HOUSING UNIT IS REPLACED OFTEN. HOW IT IS POSSIBLE THAT CHRYSLER CAN ALLOW THIS? AT 47000 MILES THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN AND IS ENEXCEPTABLE.UNTIL THIS EXTENSIVE REPAIR IS COMPLETED THE VEHICLE IS IS RENDERED USELESS AND MY JOB IS NOW INTERRUPTED. NOW IN ADDTION TO THE MISFIRE I NOW HAVE THIS HUGE OIL LEAK TO CONTEND WITH; PLEASE REFER TO THE PICTURE ATTACHED OF THE OIL STAIN THAT WAS DISCOVERED ON MY GARAGE FLOOR.... THE ENTIRE BOTTOM OF THE OF MY TRANSMISSION/BELL HOUSING AND CROSS MEMBER COVERED IN OIL. MOREOVER I JUST RECEIVED AN LETTER INFORMING ME THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG ALSO IS RECALLED AND I HAVE YET TO ADDRESS THIS AS WELL. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. I CAN'T TELL YOU THE LEVEL OF DISAPPOINTMENT AND BETRAYAL I FEEL FOR BUYING AN "AMERICAN MADE" CAR. I HOPE CHRYSLER/FIAT CORPERATE IS ENJOYING SHORT CHANGING THE CONSUMER BUY USING INFERIOR AND FAULTY PARTS TO SAVE MONEY AND RIP OFF THE CONSUMER THIS WAY. I AM SURE NO

THE OIL FILTER HOUSING AND OIL COOLER IS LEAKING CAUSING OIL TO POOL ON TOP OF ENGINE. THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE DUE TO OIL RUNNING DOWN THE ENGINE AND GETTING ON THE EXHAUST.

TAKATA INFLATER. THE PROBLEM ISN'T THE RECALL. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX IT IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE PARTS THAT CHRYSLER (FIAT) IS RATIONING THEM. WHY IS MY SAFETY IN JEOPARDY BECAUSE JEEP WON'T APPROVE PARTS?

THE OIL FILTER HOUSING IS LEAKING AND THE VALVES AND ROCKER ARMS NEED REPLACING

REGARDING COMPLAINT NUMBER: 11175198. THE INFORMATION PROVIDED TO YOU IN MY COMPLAINT WAS SENT TO JEEP US CUSTOMER CARE, FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOTIVE GROUP (FCA) FIRST, AND THEY FWD IT TO THE JEEP CHRYSLER REGIONAL MANAGER FOR APPROVAL TO OPEN A "STAR" CASE SO ENGINEERING TECHNICIANS AT FCA COULD LOOK AT THE PROBLEM ON THE JEEP AS IDENTIFIED TO YOU. THE REGIONAL MAINTENANCE MANAGER --REFUSED TO OPEN THE "STAR" CASE --FEARING THAT THE IDENTIFIED ELECTRICAL & ENGINE PROBLEM COULD CAUSE A RECALL AND SAFETY RECALL. ON 2-18-2019 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM US CUSTOMER CARE AT FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOTIVE, AND TOLD THAT BECAUSE OF THE AREA MANAGEMENT REFUSAL TO OPEN A "STAR" MY CASE WITH THEM HAS BEEN CLOSED.

FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELT SPOOL MALFUNCTIONS AND DOES NOT RETRACT SEAT BELT, LEAVING TOO MUCH SLACK TO RESTRAIN DRIVER OR PASSENGER IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. DEALER CHARGES $533.10 FOR PARTS AND LABOR FOR SEAT BELT REPLACEMENT. SEAT BELT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR BY RECALL (THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS). LIKE AN AIRBAG, THIS SHOULD BE COVERED.

I REPORTED TO MY DEALER APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE IN 2014 THAT AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE IN MOTION ALL SAFETY LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE, THE RADIO WOULD GO OFF AND THERE WOULD BE A DING NOISE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I EVEN TOOK IT IN ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SINCE IT HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION. THEY HAVE TEST DROVE IT BUT NEVER COULD GET IT TO DO WHAT I DESCRIBED. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS IN DECEMBER 2018. IT JUST HAPPENS RANDOMLY, BUT IS VERY SCARY AND SEEMS DANGEROUS SINCE ALL THE SAFETY LIGHTS ILLUMINATE, RPM GAUGE DROPS ETC PUTTING IT IN NEUTRAL AND BACK TO DRIVE IT SEEMS TO CORRECT ITSELF, BUT IT IS STILL VERY CONCERNING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V018000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP AND RAM OF INVERNESS (2077 FL-44, INVERNESS, FL 34453, (352) 341-7398) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

LEAKING OIL DUE TO OIL COOLER FAILURE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THE 3.6L PENSTAR ENGINES AND CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP DOES NOTHING TO REPAIR IT. I HAVE LOOKED UP PLENTY OF THREADS AND VIDEOS ON THIS AND THIS IS NOT A EASY OR CHEAP REPAIR. THE RESULT IS OIL LEAKING FROM THE BACK OF THE OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND DOWN THE BACK OF THE ENGINE AND TO THE GROUND.

WHILE DRIVING MODERATE SPEED ON A RURAL RD (EST MILES 115K), ALL RED & YELLOW LIGHTS CAME ON, "NO BUS" LIGHT CAME ON WHICH IS NOT LISTED IN THE OPS MANUAL, WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON, RPM GAUGE WENT TO ZERO, FUEL GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY, ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING AND ENGINE RUNNING ROUGH TO POSSIBLE STALL. WITHIN A PERIOD OF TIME 10 MIN OR SO EVERYTHING CAME BACK TO NORMAL AND JEEP RAN OK. THIS HAS HAPPEN TO MY WIFE WHO IS A RURAL MAIL CARRIER ON MANY OCCASIONS. IN FACT IN 1 WEEK IT HAPPENED EVERY DAY AND IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES OVER A LONG PERIOD. JEEP SERVICE FOLKS DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AS THE CODES DO NOT PIN POINT THE PROBLEM. THEY "THINK" POSSIBILITY IT COULD BE PWR FUSE BOX, MAIN COMPUTER OR FWD INSTRUMENT PANEL EA AT A COST OF OVER $1000 TO REPLACE. SERVICE FOLKS WANT T JEEP BROUGHT TO THEM WITH LIGHTS ON, GAUGES ZERO, ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING BUT IT'S AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND THEY ARE 30 MILES OR MORE AWAY DEPENDING WHERE THE PROBLEM HAPPENS. SERVICE FOLKS HAVE HAD THE JEEP FOR A TOTAL OF 3 DAYS IN JAN & FEB AND DROVE IT OVER 150 MILE AND THE PROBLEM NEVER APPEARED. IN FEB 2015 WHILE DRIVING (24,171 MILES) THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME "ON" AND JEEP STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IT WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN SO JEEP WAS THEN TAKEN TO DEALER AND THEY FOUND THAT A FAULT CODE SAID "WIRING DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH SLACK BETWEEN SENSOR & WIRING CAUSING POOR CONNECTION". REPLACED CAM SENSOR & WIRING. FAULT CLEARED. HAVE PHOTOS OF DASH WITH "ALL LIGHTS AND GAUGES SHOWING Z

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THERE WAS A LARGE PUDDLE OF OIL UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OIL WAS LEAKING FROM THE OIL COOLER FILTER HOUSING ONTO THE EXHAUST FAN. CHAMPION CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (4505 WEST 96TH STREET, INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46268, (317) 872-6200) DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL COOLER FILTER HOUSING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

NOTICED LARGE DROPLETS OF OIL UNDER JEEP. UPON INSPECTION, WITHOUT REMOVAL OF ANY COMPONENTS, LOOKED AS THOUGH OIL WAS POOLING AND DRIPPING AND HAD BEEN SPRAYING BACK TOWARDS TRANSMISSION. ISSUE A RECALL. DOES IT TAKE A SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH BEFORE SOMEONE REALIZES THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE?

DRIVE THE JEEP APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES ON 1/18/19. PARKED IT IN MY DRIVE WAY FOR THE NIGHT. AIR TEMP GOT TO BETWEEN 15 AND 20 DEGREES THAT NIGHT. AT APPROXIMATELY 10:30 AM I STARTED THE JEEP TO ALLOW IT TO WARM UP BEFORE DRIVING 3 MILES TO TOWN. AT ABOUT MILE 2 I NOTICED A BURNING OIL SMELL. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND SAW MOTOR OIL COVERING MY TRANSMISSION AND EXHAUST. I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS ABOUT 1/2 A QUART LOW. I DROVE THE JEEP HOME AT THAT POINT AND PARKED IT. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A CRACK IN THE OIL COOLER HOUSING ASSEMBLY. SERVICE TECH EXPLAINED IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MODEL AND THAT JEEP WAS AWARE OF IT. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT PRICING AND RECALLS THE TECH SAID IT WASN'T A RECALLED PART AND THE TOTAL REPAIR COST WOULD BE AROUND $1000.00. CONFUSED I CALLED AROUND TO OTHER JEEP OWNERS AS WELL AS OTHER AUTHORIZED JEEP REPAIR SHOPS AND WAS TOLD THIS. IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM BUT NOT COVERED UNDER ANY RECALL. THIS PROBLEM IS ALL TO COMMON FOR THERE NOT TO BE A RECALL. THE DANGER LIES IN THE FACT THAT HAD SOMEONE LESS KNOWLEDGEABLE BEEN DRIVING, FIRE COULD HAVE ERUPTED FROM THE LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL ON THE EXHAUST, ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO A SUDDEN LOSS OF OIL, AND NOT TO MENTION THE OIL THAT IS NOW RUNNING ONTO THE ROADWAY. AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AS WELL.

TAKARA RECALL, BUT NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX, AND DEALERS HAVE NO WAY TO ORDER THE NEW PART, FIX UNKNOWN TO THEM TO DATE. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, CAN CAUSE DEATH.

UPON STARTUP, IN PARK AND STATIONARY, ENGINE REVS TO 4000-5000 RPM, TURN IGNITION TO OFF AND RESTART, ENGINE REVS TO 4000-5000 RPM, TURN IGNITION TO OFF, WAIT 30 SECONDS RESTART EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE. BOUGHT NEW IN 2014, HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS.

FREEZING COLD (TEENS) TEMPS OUTSIDE, STARTED VEHICLE, HUGE OIL PUDDLE UNDER AFTER 10 MINUTES RUNNING TO WARM UP. TOOK SNAKE CAMERA, FOUND OIL RUNNING OUT REAR AND DOWN TRANNY BELL HOUSING. FOUND ENGINE OIL COOLER TO BE THE PROBLEM WHICH IS PLASTIC!!!!!!. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD TO SAY THE LEAST.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WOULD COST ABOUT ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR OF THE OIL SENSOR SWITCH LOCATED INSIDE THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 31K MILES AND I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. PLEASE LMK IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. [XXX]. MY NAME IS [XXX] VEHICLE IS RARELY USED. AT THE TIME I NOTICED THE ENGINE LIGHT IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR ABOUT A WEEK. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

2014 WRANGLER HAS KNOWN FAULTY OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT SENSOR AS THERE WAS A TSB ON JULY 15, 2014 STATING SUCH. TSB # 18-034-14 REV. A AND RRT 14-046. 1,000 MILES SHORT OF THE 3 YR, 36K MILE WARRANTY, BUT 6 MONTHS PAST THE 3 YEAR AND JEEP WANTS $411 TO FIX THEIR KNOWN PROBLEM. JEEP STATES SINCE IT IS A SENSOR, IT NOT COVERED BY THE LONGER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY.

OIL FILTER HOUSING STARTED LEAKING WITH NO WARNING OR EVENTS OCCURRING IN THE AREA. FAST RESEARCH STATES THIS IS A COMMONLY KNOW ISSUE THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF BUT AVOIDING.

TAKARA RECALL THE OIL COOLER HOUSING IS LEAKING WHICH IS CAUSING OIL TO RUN DOWN AND SPRAY ALL OVER UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE AND TRANS, CAUSING SMOME. I'M SEEING HUNDREDS OF POST ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.

OIL FILTER COOLER ADAPTER LEAKING AND DUE TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE UNIT INTAKE MANIFOLD MUST BE REMOVED. OIL LEAKING AND COVERING UNDERCARRIAGE AND EXHAUST, APPEARS TO BE A CHRONIC AND WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH THE 3.6 PENSTAR ENGINE. AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH THE UNIT APPEARS TO BE A WELL KNOWN ISSUE. TIME FOR CHRYSLER TO STEP UP.

THE OIL FILTER HOUSING ON THE V6 3.6L PENSTAR FAILED, ALLOWING OIL TO LEAK DIRECTLY ONTO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. FROM THERE THE OIL DRAINED DOWN THE BACK OF THE ENGINE, DOWN THE TRANSMISSION AND ONTO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE I KNOW THIS TO BE A FIRE HAZARD. BASED ON MY OWN RESEARCH THIS FAILURE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR MODEL AND RESULTED IN THE MANUFACTURER MAKING CHANGES ON LATER MODELS. HOWEVER, THIS DOES ADDRESS THE THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES STILL ON THE ROAD. PART NUMBER SEEMS TO BE 68105583AA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO IVERSON MAX JEEP (101 2ND ST, HURON, SD) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

OIL FILTER/ COOLER CRACKED AND LEAKING OIL. JEEP STATES I WAS 16DAYS OUTSIDE THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND WILL NOT HELP COVER COSTS TO REPAIR WELL KNOWN ISSUE FOR 3.6L PENTASTAR ENGINE
