2014 JEEP WRANGLER Engine Problems

I was driving on I35 on 10/23/2025 when I saw a small spark then my vehicle caught fire and i exited the vehicle called 911 Lewisville Fire Department and was informed that they responded to vehicle fire on 10/23/2025 at 9:45 pm, their case number is 2025-0012175. The representative stated that the Lewisville Police Dept. also completed a report, case number 250068809.

I had repairs done to my Jeep in April 2024. At that time, I was made aware that my ABS control module was faulty and no longer functioning. I have been periodically checking with my mechanic and online to check the status of this part, only to find that it has been an ongoing issue with some models having this part unavailable since 2019. At the end of October 2025, I began having a major safety issue in which my Jeep's engine will shut off without warning and the only reason I will be aware is because the wheel will no longer turn easily (trying to turn without power steering). In addition, there will at times be a fluctuation of power either having a an extreme spike or drop in RPMs causing the Jeep to lurch while driving. The cruise control cannot be used with this issue, and I have also experienced malfunctions in the traction control (i.e. hydroplaning in a very small puddle in the road that a normal car could handle, let alone a Jeep). I have been waiting patiently for a year and a half and there are no updates available for Jeep owners, and the issues caused by this lack of parts could cause fatalities on the road or leave individuals with a very expensive, undrivable vehicle followed by the additional cost of purchasing a new vehicle. This is unacceptable for an extremely large and popular vehicle manufacturer to be unable to come to an agreement with parts manufacturers to resume production of a crucial vehicle part.

Starting in approximately mid 2023 the vehicle began to leak oil. This was noted once the vehicle was parked after driving. There were various amounts of oil pooled underneath the oil filter housing on the ground. At this time it had approximately 70,000 miles. I had to consistently add many quarts of oil to keep the vehicle operating while going to several mechanics to diagnose the problem. There are many instances where a strong burning smell comes from the engine compartment especially when traveling at higher speeds (highway driving). It was determined that the oil filter housing had cracked and was the source of the oil leak. The cost for repair was approximately $800 for labor and the part, having to spend additional money to get a rental car. The mechanics stated that they have had to replace this same part on many other Jeep Wranglers that are the same make/year. The mechanic did say that another jeep that had the same problem did catch on fire due to the oil running down through the heated engine as this part is made of plastic and situated on the top side of the engine. My Jeep is current on all maintenance and there has been no accident to cause this part to crack. I was made aware that previous models had metal housing, as opposed to plastic hence there not being an issue. By the time we figured out the source of the leak, it was no longer under warranty, so I had the work completed by a local mechanic instead of the dealer. No warnings, not even a low oil pressure or check engine light came on. It was the burning smell and oil loss that made me aware of an issue. Once again, at approximately 100,000 miles it has happened again. The mechanic I originally brought it to is out of business, but the part would be out of warranty regardless. Now I am stuck spending another approximately 1,000 to have it replaced again, with the same part that will inevitably crack again. They really need to recall and replace this part with a metal housing.

The engine in my 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (3.6L Pentastar V6) suddenly seized without warning at approx. 154,525 miles. The vehicle stalled while in motion, causing immediate loss of power and creating a dangerous situation where I could have been struck by other traffic. This was a major safety hazard. The Jeep was towed to a dealership, where technicians confirmed the engine is seized and provided a written estimate of about $12,000 for full engine replacement. I later had the vehicle towed back to my home, but the failed engine remains in the vehicle and is available for inspection upon request. The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by the authorized Jeep service center. Jeep/Stellantis Customer Care has also been contacted, and a case has been opened.Decline goodwill assistance. There were no warning lamps, messages, or prior symptoms before the failure. The vehicle was operating normally until the sudden stall. This lack of warning combined with the engine seizure placed my safety and the safety of others at risk. I believe this issue is part of a known defect pattern with the 3.6L Pentastar engine, which has been subject to numerous complaints, service bulletins, and litigation. A well-maintained Jeep engine should not fail catastrophically at this mileage without warning.

My 2014 jeep wrangler unlimited started throwing the motor in limp mode. Had it checked out and it's the TIPM and the wiring harness. As I dug into that some 2014 jeeps already have a recall on this. But I cannot find on my VIN. Could this be a needed recall that this jeep needs to be added too? Help please.almost caused an accident 3 different times throwing a brand new motor into limp mode

In 2020 and 2025, Oil Coolant Housing cracked and failed. First incident happened on the way to an oil change. Certified Mechanic found oil covering entire undercarriage and engine, and notified me this was a severe fire and safety hazard. Replaced with an OEM Housing from dealership. 2025, same failure. Found by another Certified Mechanic while researching check engine light. Replaced with a metal Housing. Getting a P0303 and P0305 error code. Recorded over 300 misfires in 2 days. Replaced all spark plugs, coil packs and fuel injector in #5. No improvement in performance, continued coding. While returning to Mechanic, had a strong burning smell and smoke coming out from under the hood. Coolant was covering entire engine compartment and undercarriage. Mechanic notified me the Coolant was flowing through the engine and exiting out the #5 cylinder. Diagnosed failure of head gasket and engine. Driving vehicle causes smoke under hood, some in passenger compartment and strong burning smell. Recommended replacing engine as complete failure is imminent and is a safety and fire hazard.

In the 9 years I have owned my Jeep I have now replaced the oil filter housing twice. Each time has caused me over $300 just for the part, which is PLASTIC from the dealership to my mechanic then over $1000 to install. My mechanic explained to me that when plastic is heated then cold with oil it will eventually crack. This then drips on the exhaust which causes either smoke through the vents or a small fire eventually. This needs a recall.

The oil filter housing developed a leak which lead to excessive amounts of oil spilling on the exterior of the engine which could cause a fire.

Starting in March of 2024 the vehicle began to leak copious amounts of oil. This was noted once the vehicle was parked after driving. It was anywhere from the size of a half dollar to a dinner plate size of oil pooled underneath the oil filter housing on the ground. At this time the Jeep had approximately 103,000 miles. While diagnosing the issue, I had to consistently add many quarts of oil to keep the vehicle operating. During the diagnosis stage, there were many instances where a strong burning smell became obvious from the engine compartment. After consulting with two independent certified mechanics, it was determined that the oil filter housing had become compromised and was the source of the oil leak. The cost for repair was $175 for the part and $950 for labor, plus $200 for a rental. Both mechanics that diagnosed the issue advised they both had replaced this same part on many other Jeep Wrangler JK between the years of 2014-16. While the burning smell was indicative of a possible fire at some point, one mechanic did say one other jeep that had this part fail did catch on fire due to the oil running down through the heated engine as this part is made of plastic and situated on the top side of the engine. Fires were most certainly a life safety concern as this is my primary vehicle for myself and children. The vehicle had all of its maintenance current and properly done, there was no accident or incident to cause this part to crack other than a poor design with cheap parts. The oil clean up during the fix was extensive as it had pooled and ran into multiple locations on the engine. I did not have the vehicle inspected by the manufacturer as it was no longer under warranty and it would have cost even more to have them do the work. No warnings, not even a low oil pressure or check engine light came on. It was the burning smell and oil loss that was visibly noted that identified an issue.

Engine oil cooler/filter housing. Developed oil leak by being placed under manifold. Took it to dealer, Flow, confirmed bad oil leak in item mentioned. They replaced the mentioned part. Bad oil leaks can cause engine fire. Not sure it is available for view at dealer. Cost was over $1300. Mileage was about 93000.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked, the contact noticed a loud clanking sound coming from the engine. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the vehicle was diagnosed with engine rod bearing failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 104,000.

IT DOES NOT SHOW FOR OUR VIN BUT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT ISSUES AS DESCRIBED FOR THIS SPECIFIC RECALL. COSTS INCLUDE TOW FEES, REPAIR QUOTE AT OVER $1700.00, TIME IN SHOP WITHOUT A CAR ALL SIGNIFICANT. CONCERN: WILL IT HAPPEN AGAIN ? REQUEST RECALL REIMBURSEMENT THAT SHOULD QUALIFY FOR OUR VEHICLE AS WELL !!

Engine started chugging at about 30,000 miles and engine light illuminated. The engine light continued to go off and on until about 36,000 miles, at which point it stayed on. Brought to dealership and and they did a leak down test on the left side cylinder. It was found that cylinder 2 had a 65% compression loss. This engine is a Pentastar 3.6l v6 that was part of a recall for 2011-2013 models. Apparently Mopar still installed these engines in later years but are refusing to foot the bill for them. I worked with Customer Support and they flat out refused to help me.

My Jeep only has 60,000 and I already have to replace the oil cooler on it. This causes the radiator fluid to leak and overheated my car. This could cause major damage to my engine and its components. This would also cause the oil to leak into my coolant reservoir. It’s a major defect by Jeep and needs modifications.

The Jeep oil cooler will leak from factory. It will cause the engine to cease working causing the vehicle to stop. The dealer said this would happen. There were no warning signs, just the smell of burning oil.

Driving sometimes with cruise on and sometimes not or going up a slight inclined the car will lose RPM goes down and then back up. I Was merging on to a highway went to give it gas and RPM goes down and I had 2 semis coming up on me so had to pull over to shoulder. It is very unsafe because you just dont know when it is going to do it. Have had it in to dealership computer and no code. But very very frustrating. They have put computer on and drove around and of course it wouldnt do it. We are at our end of the rope we don't know what to do. Service dept just said if it doesn't throw a code cant do anything. I guess when we get hit they wiil do something.

There needs to be a recall on the 2014 Jeep wrangler oil filter housing immediately. My Jeep has the Pentastar oil filter housing used in these vehicles can crack and warp due to heat exposure and this can lead to serious oil leaks. Despite knowing about this issue, the company has never issued a recall, instead, they have discontinued the production of the Pentastar and redesigned the oil filter housing for newer vehicle models. My jeep was pouring out oil and the red oil light turned on. I immediately had my jeep towed to the dealer . They had already "fixed" this issue two times previously. It is beyond comprehension that this has not been a manufacturer recall. It is extremely dangerous.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing electrical failures. The check engine warning light was illuminated intermittently, and the infotainment system failed to turn on. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the oil sensor pressure circuit was replaced due to an internal short in the oil-sending unit. Additionally, the PCM software was updated, and the infotainment system was replaced. The contact also stated that the fuel gauge provided inaccurate readings and would not read that the fuel tank was full. The vehicle was taken to the dealer twice for fuel gauge failure. The dealer performed a PCM software update for fuel sender recalibration and replaced the fuel pump module. The contact stated that the traction control warning light illuminated intermittently, and the vehicle was taken to the dealer, who replaced an unknown sensor. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing an electrical draw, and the battery was replaced four times. The vehicle was taken to the second dealer McCord's - Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram (990 Tennant Way, Longview, WA 98632) where it was diagnosed that the electrical draw was due to a failure of the instrument cluster electrical wiring or a failure of the electrical wiring underneath the dashboard. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but did not provide any assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.

The plastic oil filter housing cracked. So many have cracked you can’t find one to replace it. Metal ones are being made but can’t find those either. It’s a HUGE problem and with minivans.also. They need to recall all the plastic oil filter housing units.

Oil Filter Housing cracked. Oil pools on top of engine and under intake manifold. Oil runs down the right side of engine - taking out an oxygen sensor in the process as the wiring harness gets soaked in oil. Oil ran down onto transmission and exhaust manifolds creating odor and a lot of smoke - not to mention the oil all over my driveway and street. Evidently, this is a known problem to the manufacturer. It is reported hundreds of times on this site and thousands of times on various internet sites. Clearly there are manufacturing problems that are at fault and creating serious safety and economic impacts to owners. Research across various platforms indicates that it is not a matter of "if this will happen," but "when" it will happen. Where is the accountability to the manufacturer? Why is NHTSA NOT doing something to protect the consumer and the public?

Hello my jeeps oil filter housing has been repaired twice it's about 900 both times their needs to be a safety recall it smoke and causes alot of issues this is a poor design and needs attention my jeep is parked until further notice

Oil cooler cracked, very common with this engine. Needs to be a recall. My shop said they were doing around 2 a week? Poor design, plastic mounted to aluminum. It cost me $1285.00 to get this fixed. The engine only has 46000 miles on it. The vehicle has never been off-road and has the oil changed every 3000 miles.

The oil filter housing was cracked and leaking and replaced under warranty a few years back. The same problem is happening again because it is a plastic oil filter housing. Chrysler knows its a defective part. Make them issue a recall please We shouldn't have to pay 800 plus to have it fixed with the same defective part. They're profiting from their mistake.

The oil housing is leaking oil on the engine and exhaust it smells terrible when engine is on , maybe a risk of fire !! Looks like to be a well know important problem at jeep . There should be a recall!! Thx Looks like jerp want 1200$ to fix a known problem!

Oil cooler broke due to being made out of plastic. I had to have a new one installed made out of metal. Labor and parts were 855.00. I don’t think this should have happened both engine and driveway are covered in oil?

Warped and leaking oil filter housing. The housing is made of plastic and unsuitable for this use. Newer models they have corrected this and the housings are made of aluminum. Mine is plastic and very unsafe. Having leaking oil is an enviromental and safety hazard. Jeep refuses to repair this issue even though it is a well know problem for all Penstar engies with the plastic housing. The leaking housing was brought to my attention during a normal oil change.

I smell burning oil in my vehicle after short or extended drives and discovered that this issue was widely reported for 2014 Jeep Wanglers. The fumes have the potential to diminish my health and should be addressed immediately.

Greetings, My 2014 Jeep Wrangler has developed a ticking sound that is progressively getting worse. I have addressed this with my professional mechanic and noted to me after checking the engine that there is an issue with the engine and Chrysler knows about it yet no recall has been published. The issue has to do with the 3. 6l Pentastar engine is notorious for having a camshaft or lifter go bad. The answer is apparently to replace the headers. I have contacted Customer service at Chrysler and they are now claiming not to know about it. My mechanic stated that repairs can run about $2000. I would appreciate it if you would appropriately deal with this and inform me on the outcome. Thank you kindly, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

At approx 45,000 miles the rocker arm bearing failed causing a ticking noise in the engine. Upon researching this issue, I have found multiple complaints and confirmation that this issue is due to poor manufacturing.

The antilock brake module shorted out causing the line to melt and shut down my vehicle

The vehicle stalls, losing power steering and brakes in the middle of the road. It is critical to have this addressed before someone dies in a wreck. It also over heats to the point it will catch on fire.

oil filter housing unit leaks oil causing fire hazard and engine seizure, had to have repaired 2 times in a one year period.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while the vehicle was running there was a ticking sound coming from the engine. The contact stated that there were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that the vehicle was not covered under an unknown Extended Warranty. The contact was referred to NHTSA for assistance. The failure mileage was 98,000.

Oil cool on the top of the motor failed filling top of motor with oil and spilling over in back and front. This is a very common problem that should be looked at closer could easily get on exhaust causing a potential fire.

2014 jeep wrangler unlimited Sahara oil filter housing fail twice already. Causes oil to leak all over top of engine and then drips onto other components. Could cause fire, could cause engine to sieze, no warning lights to indicate an issue.

Engine oil cooler failed. No warning lights or chimes. Problem found by smell of burning oil covering the intake valley and drainage from there onto the exhaust pipe throughout the underside of the vehicle. Can result in a vehicle fire.This is a known problem with the 3.6l jeep engine. This is a costly repair and replacement part of OEM quality or better is difficult to locate because of so many failures.

Oil Filter Housing failed leaking oil onto top of motor and hot exhaust manifold nearly causing a fire and catastrophic engine failure in heavy traffic. Dealer has confirmed this is a known issue on the 3.6 pentastar engines from after 2014. Currently replacement part has a 58000 unit back order. Failed with no warning until oil light and temp lights triggered.

After a short drive to town I could smell oil burning .. Oil was Pouring on the the ground from under my jeep. I was told from the dealer it is a common problem on that motor and it was the OIL COOLER . It was cracked on the plastic part . I had it repaired and it cost me 800$ . There were no warning lamps . If I did not catch the problem in time the motor would have locked up.. the oil hitting the hot manifold could have caught fire .

3.6l Pentastar V6, vehicle had a failed oil cooler housing. This caused the vehicle to leak a considerable amount (more than a quart) of oil into the valley between the cylinder heads, but showed no outward signs of leaking oil. This has the potential to ignite a vehicle fire during operation. Could also potentially cause catastrophic engine failure secondary to oil starvation at highway speeds.

Engine oil leak, front of engine, under/at bottom of oil filter housing. Loss of oil from motor, oil all over under carriage of Jeep, found first on garage floor. Jeep has 62,000 miles on it. Oil on engine, transmission, transfer case and exhaust. Unit smoking, fire hazard. No warning lamps for low oil or low oil pressure.12

Engine light on when change in oil needed @ 50%. Oil pressure fluctuates when driving 2% to 30%. Noticed 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. Found the following in my search: " ATTENTION - 2014 Wranglers have bad oil leak problems! ________________________________________ 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. If you have had an oil leak, and the dealership told you the issue was the oil filter adapter, the oil cooler or the oil cooler cover, post up here. We are going to try to get pressure on Chrysler to at least redesign the part. Part number is 68105583AA and it applies only to 2014 3.6L Chrysler V6 engines, at least so far. Similar issues have been reported with the new 3.2L V6 used in the Cherokee, but it apparently has a different part number. This is a MAJOR issue if you own a 2014 Wrangler. There is no way to know if/when the part will crack, and if it does, it is not a trail repair. The adapter is buried under the intake manifold, and ever getting to it with some putty would be nearly impossible. You had better have extra oil with you at all times if you are trail riding a 2014 Wrangler. Post here if you have the issue, and go to safercar.gov and file a complaint. If Chrysler doesn't fix this issue, you will never feel safe wheeling your 2014 Jeep in the backcountry. They need to fix this, NOW. ALL 3.6L vehicles are affected"

Concerning all Jeep Wrangler vehicles with the Pentastar 3.6L V-6 engine. These engines utilize variable valve timing with DOHC’s. Jeep dealers and owners are aware of a very common issue with bearing failures in these assemblies, resulting in damage to the camshafts requiring replacement of all 4 camshafts, 24 hydraulic lifters and 24 rocker assemblies. Approximate labor for this work is $1,220 plus parts cost of approximately $2,770. The issue is signaled by a loud tapping noise from one or both engine banks and typically occurs around or shortly after 80,000 miles though there are a number of reports that can be found where this issue appeared earlier. Jeep technicians diagnose the issue using a stethoscope and automatically assume all components will require replacement without further disassembly or investigation. An internet search will indicate just how prevalent this issue is. My vehicle is currently in the shop and I am told there are currently a total of three Jeep Wrangler Unlimited vehicles in said shop with the SAME issue.

Smelled burning oil coming from the engine bay. Noticed a large amount of oil under the engine. Inspected the engine bay and there was a pool of oil under the oil filter housing. There was no CEL or warning. Checked oil and it was over a quart low. Oil spill under vehicle was large and dissipated in a wide area. A quick web search shows this is a common issue on the Chrysler Pentastar 3.6 engine. It is the OIL COOLANT HOUSING ASSEMBLY which is faulty. This causes oil to spill out and drip on the transmission and exhaust which causes the oil burning smell. There was a backorder on this part and I was informed that over 65K parts were manufactured and sold this past year which demonstrates that this is a known issue. Attempted to have dealership repair but could not book a date for months due to backlog and lack of availability. Took the vehicle to an independent shop that was very familiar with the issue and confirmed it was the oil coolant housing assembly without me mentioning what I thought it was. This was a $975 repair. Contacted manufacturer and they said they could not assist me as I need to take the vehicle to the dealership (only). However, I can't be without my vehicle for 60 days until they are able to "fit me in". Concerned about the burning of oil on the exhaust from a safety/fire perspective.

Oil Filter assembly (FCA Pentastar 3.6L) started leaking oil and poured out over the back of the engine and got on the rear tires causing a loss of control of the vehicle. No warnings were indicated and the event occurred where my wife and others could have been hurt or killed.

This is another complaint about the oil filter and oil cooler assembly problem that's known on the 2014 Wranglers. It's made of plastic (that cracks) with plastic gaskets (that shrink/crack over time). It's a known problem, has been reported by many, especially for vehicles in cold weather areas. Due to the location of the oil cooler assembly, it can't be easily replaced without spending over a thousand dollars and then the dealers don't stand behind or warranty the new part/their install because they know the replacement is just plastic and going to crack again. Oil leaks all over other engine components (transmission, transfer case, etc.), which could cause the vehicle to catch on fire; an accident due to the leaked on components being deteriorated and not working properly from being oil soaked; or cause the engine oil to overheat since the cooling assembly isn't working correctly. Repair requires complete disassembly of the upper engine and the OEM replacement is just another faulty plastic parts. Repairs are extremely costly IF you can even find parts. OEM had to know about this issue---plastic parts are never good and hopefully no one will get hurt because you could be driving a long time before you even know you have a problem.

The oil filter and oil cooler assembly is plastic with plastic gaskets. It will often crack, or the gaskets will shrink/crack over time, particularly in cold weather conditions. This causes oil to leak down onto other components, specifically the transmission, transfer case, etc. in the case of an accident this oil leak and oil soaked components can represent a fire hazard. Also can become an engine oil overheating issue as the oil cooling is not working properly. Repair requires complete disassembly of the air intake system and manufacturer only supplies the same faulty plastic parts. Repair is extremely costly and it is a known defect that has caused many parts shortages.

Issue with lifters ticking at 49k miles

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

OIL COOLER/OIL FILTER HOUSING AND GASKETS HAVE A KNOWN DEFECT THAT CAUSES OIL TO LEAK ONTO AND INTO ENGINE COMPONENTS, SUCH AS THE RADIATOR, CAUSING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. JEEP/CHRYSLER/DODGE/RAM TECHS KNOW THAT THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT, AND THE LEAKING OIL CAN AND DOES BURN, WHICH CAN LEAD TO A TOTAL ENGINE FIRE!!! I FIRST NOTICED THE ISSUE WHEN I SMELLED BURNING OIL. THINKING IT WAS JUST A MINOR ISSUE THAT COULD BE FIXED WHENEVER I HAD THE FREE TIME, I CONTINUED DRIVING FOR ANOTHER WEEK OR TWO UNTIL SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE! I FINALLY TOOK IT IN BECAUSE THERE WAS WAY TOO MUCH SMOKE TO BE SAFE (FIRE?). THE TECH THAT WORKED ON MY JEEP, MIKE POLLARD, SAYS HE SEES THIS ISSUE ALL THE TIME, ADVISED ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND THEN FILE FOR REIMBURSEMENT WITH THEIR CORPORATE OFFICE SINCE IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND MY JEEP ONLY HAD 43,500 MILES ON IT (WELL UNDER THE 100,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY). WELL, I DID AS HE ASKED, BUT CORPORATE CUSTOMER CARE IS USELESS, WILL NOT REACH OUT TO THE TECH AS ASKED, AND ARE DOING THEIR BEST TO NOT PAY BECAUSE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE IS NOT A RECALL. EITHER WAY, THIS ISSUE CAN START A FIRE IF LEFT UNFIXED. JEEP KNOWS THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE, YET WILL NOT DO A RECALL UNLESS FORCED (MONEY OVER SAFETY). LOOK ONLINE AT THE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS COMMON ISSUE.

VEHICLE HAS 86000 MILES ON IT BUT HAS BEEN LEAKING FOR A WHILE. NOW IT IS LEAKING VERY BAD AND CAN SMELL BURNT OIL WHEN DRIVING. LOOKING ON FORUMS ONLINE AND MANY 2014 TO 2016 3.6 ENGINES HAVE THIS ISSUE. ISSUE SEAMS TO BE FROM FAULTY GASKETS AND IN SOME CASES CRACKED HOUSINGS ON THE OIL COOLER.

SAME AS ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE'S COMPLAINTS AND I'M VERY SHOCKED THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR AN ISSUE THAT IS SUCH AN ON GOING PROBLEM, MY OIL COOLER IS LEAKING ONCE AGAIN ON MY 2014 JEEP WRANGLER JK AND I'VE ALREADY SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND NOW GOING THROUGH THIS ONCE AGAIN IT IS STRAIGHT BULL CRAP.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT DECODES TO A CYLINDER MISFIRE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE CYLINDER HAD LOW COMPRESSION. IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME WELL OVER $2000 TO FIX IT. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE ENGINES, SO MUCH SO THAT CHRYSLER ISSUED A TSB ON IT, HOWEVER THE TSB ONLY COVERS UP TO 2013 AND MINE IS A 2014. APPARENTLY THEY THOUGHT THEY FIXED IT, BUT PERHAPS THEY DIDN'T GET IT QUITE RIGHT, OR DIDN'T COVER ENOUGH YEARS. SEE CHRYSLER JEEP TSB 09-002-14 FOR REFERENCE. PLEASE NOTE WHILE THIS ISSUE DID NOT CAUSE AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY CONCERN, MY RESEARCH INDICATES THAT NOT FIXING IT PROMPTLY WILL CAUSE UN-BURNT FUEL TO PASS THROUGH THE ENGINE WHICH IS LIKELY TO CAUSE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE. DUE TO THE EXTREME EXPENSE TO FIX THIS KNOWN ISSUE, PEOPLE WILL BE UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED RIGHT AWAY, AND THAT IN TURN COULD LEAD TO VARIOUS SAFETY RISKS, NOT TO MENTION POLLUTION CONTROLS ISSUES.

WHILE DRIVING I OBSERVED SMOKE WAS COMING OUT FROM MY VEHICLE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WITH THE ODOR OF BURNING OIL. I WAS JUST AROUND THE CORNER FROM MY HOUSE SO AS I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY I LOOKED UNDER MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED OIL DRIPPING FROM UNDER THE ENGINE ON TO THE EXHAUST PIPE. I AM AWARE THAT 2014 JEEP WRANGLERS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL FILTER HOUSING CRACKING OVER TIME. I OPENED MY HOOD AND LOOKED AT THE OIL FILTER HOUSING AND THERE WAS OIL ALL OVER THE TOP OF THE MOTOR. I WENT TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS YEAR WRANGLER HAS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS AND THAT THERE IS NO RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A SAFETY ISSUE LIKE THIS THAT MOPAR HAS NOT BEEN CALLED ON THE CARPET FOR A FIRE HAZARD LIKE THIS AND THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THIS PART. I WAS TOLD THE REPAIR WOULD BE ROUGHLY $600. COULD YOU HELP ME RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AND WHAT APPROPRIATE ACTION I CAN TAKE. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 35,000 MILES ON IT.

TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME THING. FRESH OIL EVERYWHERE. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH AND A TRIP TO THE DEALER, THE CONCLUSION WAS A BAD OIL FILTER ADAPTER ASSEMBLY. THIS IS BEYOND COMMON ON A 2014 WRANGLER. INSANE THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PART. COME ON JEEP, GET IT TOGETHER AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I LOVE MY JEEP. BUT RIGHT IS RIGHT. THIS IS BEYOND A BIG FIRE CONCERN!!!!

POTENTIAL FOR FIRE IS EXTREMELY HIGH, I HAD TO PULL OVER AND EXIT VEHICLE DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF SMOKE COMING INTO THE CABIN FROM THE UNDERNEATH. UPON INVESTIGATING I INITIALLY THOUGHT MY TRANSMISSION HAD BLOWN A LINE BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH OIL WAS COATING THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE JEEP.

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 ZERO AND NO BUS LIGHT ON AND WIPERS GOING BACK AND FORTH. I'LL SEND IF YOU NEED THEM BUT IT ALL LIGHTS AND GAUGES WHICH ARE DEPICTED IN THE OPS MANUAL. THIS POSSIBLE ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING AND POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL FIRE IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED OVER MANY MONTHS THROUGHOUT 2018.

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.

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.

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.

MY CAR RECENTLY STARTED A TICKING NOISE THAT WILL NOT GO AWAY. TICKING INCREASES WHILE VEHICLE ACCELERATES.

AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES WHILE ON A HIGHWAY MY JEEP SUDDENLY SMELLED LIKE IT WAS BURNING AND I LOST ACCELERATION ON IT. TOOK IT TO MY LIFE TIME MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS OIL SLUDGE EVERYWHERE ON THE ENGINE. HE CHANGED THE OIL OUT, CLEANED OUT THE ENGINE BUT DIDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES WITH THE OIL TANK OR HOSES. A YEAR LATER, NOW AT 40,000 MILES, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SUDDENLY COMES ON. MECHANIC READS A "MISFIRE" ERROR. HE CHANGES OUT ALL MY SPARK PLUGS, THE IGNITION COIL AND THE PLENUM GASKET. CLEANS OUT THE FUEL INJECTORS AND THE CAR IS HUMMING BEAUTIFULLY AGAIN. BUT 5 DAYS LATER, AGAIN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. MECHANIC CHECKS EVERYTHING HE DID AND CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. HE RESEARCHED AND THINKS IT COULD BE THE EXHAUST VALVE SEATS BEING WORN OUT. RECOMMENDS I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. LOW AND BEHOLD, THEY DISCOVER THAT A CYLINDER HEAD NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED! APPARENTLY AN ISSUE THEY KEEP ENCOUNTERING FREQUENTLY IN THIS MODEL. I'VE SEEN IT POSTED ON A BUNCH OF THREADS REGARDING JEEPS. THANK GOODNESS I WAS 4 DAYS AWAY FROM MY 5 YEAR WARRANTY TO EXPIRE WHEN THIS HAPPENED!!!! I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL THE 2014 JEEPS TO MAKE SURE THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED ONCE AND FOR ALL. MY VIN DID NOT SHOW A RECALL PER YOUR SYSTEM, BUT ALL 2014 JEEPS SHOULD BE CHECKED SINCE IT'S OCCURRING SO FREQUENTLY, AND PEOPLE WILL BE OUT OF THEIR WARRANTY SOON WITH THAT YEAR'S MODEL.

WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY (ACCORDING TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP) MY OIL COOLER HOUSING CRACKED AND LEAKED MOST, IF NOT ALL, OF THE ENGINE'S OIL INTO THE COOLANT SYSTEM. THIS OCCURRED IN 10 MINUTES AND EXTREMELY OVERHEATED THE ENGINE FROM THE TIME IT HAPPENED TO THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND SAFELY PARK. THE OIL MIXING WITH THE COOLANT CAUSED IT TO TURN INTO A THICK MUD-LIKE CONSISTENCY THAT CLOGGED UP THE COOLING SYSTEM AND AFTER LETTING IT COOL DOWN I OPENED THE RADIATOR THEN A THICK BROWN OILY/COOLANT MIXTURE SEEPED OUT OF THE RADIATOR. SO THE RADIATOR WAS HOLDING PRESSURE PRIOR TO BRINGING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE OIL COOLER HOUSING UNDER WARRANTY ALONG WITH THE RADIATOR HOSES BUT IS NOW SAYING MY RADIATOR HAS A HOLE IN IT AND NOT HOLDING PRESSURE AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY, DESPITE THE JEEP NOT HAVING ANY MECHANICAL ISSUES PRIOR TO A HOLE BLOWING OPEN IN THE ENGINE AND LEAKING OUT OIL. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO TEST THE ENGINE ANY FURTHER EVEN THOUGH IT RAN FOR 10 MINUTES WITH LITTLE TO NO OIL IN IT WHICH MOST LIKELY CAUSED PRE-MATURE WEAR. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO PAY $800+ FOR A NEW RADIATOR. I BOUGHT THIS JEEP 40 DAYS AGO FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND IT'S STILL COVERED UNDER THE 100,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THEY ARE TRYING TO GET MY JEEP OUT OF THEIR DEALERSHIP AS QUICKLY AS THEY CAN BY SPENDING THE LEAST AMOUNT OF TIME AND MONEY.

PART SHOULD BE RECALLED AND VEHICLES SUSPECTED TO HAVE THIS PART INSPECTED FOR LEAKING OIL. IN MY SCENARIO I NOTICED DRIPPING OIL FROM AROUND BOTH SIDES OF THE TRANSMISSION BELL HOUSING BUT UNABLE TO TRACE TO THE SOURCE AT FIRST. AFTER READING A FEW FORUMS I LOOKED DOWN ALONG SIDE THE OIL FILTER HOUSING AND FOUND A PUDDLE OF OIL LAYING IN THE VALLEY OF THE ENGINE.

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.

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.

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.

TRANSFER CASE REAR MAIN SEAL LEAK AS DIAGNOSED BY TWO DIFFERENT JEEP DEALERSHIPS (JEEP OF HOLLYWOOD AND MASSEY YARDLEY JEEP). I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN TWICE FOR REPAIR AND THE LEAK CONTINUES (02/24/2017 [HOLLYWOOD JEEP] AND 03/08/2017 [MASSEY YARDLEY]). THE CAR IS IN FOR REEVALUATION AND REPAIR AS I AM WRITING THIS MAKING IT THE THIRD TIME IN THREE WEEKS THE CAR IS BEING REPAIRED FOR THE SAME ISSUE (03/17/2017 [MASSEY YARDLEY]). THIS INVOLVES THE MOTOR OIL IN THE VEHICLE AND LEAKS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IDLE OR BEING DRIVEN. ONCE THE WRANGLER IS DRIVEN THE THE OIL HEATS UP, AND THINS OUT, CAUSING THE OIL TO LEAK IN LARGER AMOUNTS AND FASTER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE LEAKING OIL CAN START AN ENGINE FIRE OR TOO MUCH OIL LOST CAN CAUSE AN ENGINE TO BE DAMAGED OR EVEN SEIZE. JEEP CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS ISSUE AND THEIR "CASE MANAGEMENT" TEAM HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, HOWEVER, TO-DATE ALL CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS INDICATE THERE IS NO RECALL OR INVESTIGATION INTO THESE ISSUES. AS AN ASIDE, THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER (PER CARFAX REPORT), FOR TRANSFER CASE RELATED ISSUES 11/18/2015. I IMPLORE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AS THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE.

ENGINE OIL COOLER HOUSING CRACKING AND LEAKING OIL. I HAVE HAD IT IN TWICE IN 3 MONTHS TO HAVE THE HOUSING REPLACED. I KNOW OF OTHERS WITH THIS YEAR, 2014, JEEP WRANGLER THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. YOU CAN SMELL THE OIL ON THE EXHAUST AND SEE THE OIL DRIPPING UNDER THE VEHICLE. I HAVE THE DEALER REPAIR ORDERS AND PARTS REPLACED AND THEY ARE THE SAME BOTH TIMES. NOW, WORRIED IT WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN EVEN AFTER MY WARRANTY RUNS OUT AND WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. JEEP SHOULD EXTEND THE WARRANTY AS LONG AS I OWN IT OR PERMANENTLY FIX THE COOLER PROBLEM ON THESE MODELS.

Mileage: 66,000

NOTICED POOL OF OIL UNDER MY JEEP AND UPON CLOSER INSPECTION OBSERVED OIL DRIPPING FROM BACK SIDE OF ENGINE ONTO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. IT APPEARS THE LEAK IS COMING FROM THE OIL FILTER HOUSING, AS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE ON THIS MODEL. UPON CONTACTING THE DEALER ABOUT THE PART, I WAS TOLD THERE IS A NATION-WIDE BACKORDER OF ABOUT 10,000 PARTS.

PURCHASED JEEP WRANGLER AS NEW FROM DEALER WITH 103 MILES ON IT. AT 36072 OIL WAS LEAKING ALL OVER THE TOP OF ENGINE AND DOWN THE TRANSMISSION. DEALERSHIP REPLACED OIL FILTER HOUSING/OIL COOLER. AFTER REPLACEMENT I LOOKED UP PART NUMBER USED AND IT WAS AN EARLIER REVISION THAN WHAT SHOULD HAVE USED. JEEP WAS REPAIRED ON 2/10/17, ON 2/18/17 JEEP WAS AGAIN LEAKING OIL FROM TOP OF ENGINE.

THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING HAS COOLANT RESIDUE ON IT AND IS CRACKED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE JEEPS. THIS PART IS NOT A PART THAT CAN BE BROKEN THE ONLY REASON SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH IT IS THAT IT IS DEFECTED. MOPAR SHOULD BE REPLACING THESE PARTS.

Mileage: 32,000

MY JEEP HAS LESS THAN 21,000 MILES ON IT. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A COOLANT LEAK. THEY HAVEN'T FOUND THE COOLANT LEAK BUT THEY DID FIND AN OIL LEAK FROM THE OIL COOLER. THIS IS THE SECOND OIL LEAK FROM THE OIL COOLER. PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER, I WAS TOLD THIS IS A FREQUENT AND COMMON PROBLEM. THEY HAVE NOT FOUND THE SOURCE OF MY COOLANT LEAK. THIS CAR IS GENTLY DRIVEN BY MY WIFE AND IS UNMODIFIED IN ANY WAY.

Mileage: 20,000

THE OIL COOLER UNDER THE INTAKE, THE JEEP HAS 68K MILES ON IT, NEEDS A THIRD OIL COOLER, THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO COVER THEM UNDER WARRANTY, THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE THE FIRST YEAR I BOUGHT THE JEEP BRAND NEW.

Mileage: 52,000

OIL FILTER ADAPTER, OIL COOLER, NOT SURE ON CORRECT TERMINOLOGY. PART NUMBER 68105583AA TO BE SPECIFIC. JUST GOT NORMAL MAINTENANCE AND MULTI POINT INSPECTION DONE AND 2 DAYS, 128 MILES LATER SMOKE STARTED GUSHING OUT FROM UNDER MY VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING TO GET LUNCH, GOT OUT AND SURE ENOUGH OIL WAS PROFUSELY LEAKING OUT OF THE BOTTOM. DROVE HOME IMMEDIATELY AND PARKED IT. HAD TO WAIT UNTIL MONDAY TO TRY AND DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. STARTED HER UP AND WITHIN 5 MINUTES HAD A PUDDLE THE SIZE OF A TIRE UNDERNEATH OF OIL. MANAGED TO GET HER TO THE DEALERSHIP WITHOUT ISSUE, BUT MY SYSTEM WAS TELLING ME I HAD 0% PILLS LIKE REMAINING. OIL HAD BEEN LEAKING OUT FROM ON TOP OF THE ENGINE WORRYING ME OF A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD BUT I MANAGED TO GET IT TO THE SHOP. APPARENTLY THIS PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THIS IS A WIDELY KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2014 MODELS SPECIFICALLY ALL CHRYSLER MADE VEHICLES WITH THIS ENGINE. $500 FIX IS NOT FUN WHEN IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE BY THE COMPANY WHO ON 2015 MODELS FIXED IT AND NEVER ADDRESSED OR WARNED 2014 MODEL OWNERS. *TR

ON 12/04/2016 I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT AROUND 80MPH WHEN A LOAD EXPLOSION STOPPED MY ENGINE. I IMMEDIATE STOPPED AS SMOKE STARTED TO COME INSIDE THE CABIN. AS SOON AS I EXITED THE VEHICLE I NOTICED A BIG FIRE UNDER THE CAR AND INSURE THE HOOD. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT USING 3 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS. THIS REALLY COULD'VE ESCALATED QUICKLY. I NOTICED A BIG HOLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE. LOOKS LIKE IT THREW A ROD SINCE THE OIL PRESSURE WAS LOW. PROBABLY DUE TO FAULTY OIL FILTER MOUNT. THE EXACT REASON FOR THE ENGINE FAILURE AND SUBSEQUENT FIRE HASN'T BEEN DETERMINED YET AS THE DEALER WILL OT LOOK AT IT UNTIL CHRYSLER SENDS AN INVESTIGATOR TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. CHRYSLER WILL NOT SEND AN INVESTIGATOR AND IS ASKING FOR THE DEALER TO LOOK AT IT. IT'S BEEN OVER 10 DAYS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. SO FAR, NEITHER PARTY HAS TAKEN THE ISSUE SERIOUSLY. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

Mileage: 24,000

I'VE NOTICED FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS LIKE LEAKAGE ON THE GROUND BUT HAVE YET TO PINPOINT THE EXACT LOCATION. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND ASKED IF THEY HAVE HAD ANY ISSUES WITH LEAKS AND DANCED AROUND THE QUESTION AND SAID I WOULD NEED TO LEAVE IT FOR A MECHANIC TO LOOK AT IT, I ASKED IF MY WARRANTY WAS STILL VALID AND THE HAD RAN MY VIN AND SAID IT WAS EXPIRED......WHICH IS PUZZLING CAUSE I HAVE AROUND 30K MILES ON IT. SO I STILL HAVE A MYSTERY LEAK AND READING UP ON DIFFERENT FORUMS SEEMS TO BE ON ONGOING ISSUES WITH COOLING OIL LINES OR OIL FILTER ADAPTER, OIL COOLER. *TR

3,6 OIL FILTER ADAPTER LEAKING. HAVE 38,000 ON VEHICLE, GOT OIL CHANGED ON MONDAY EVENING AND WEDNESDAY MORNING NOTICED A BURNED OIL SMELL AND A CLOUD OF SMOKE OFF MOTOR AFTER SHORT DRIVE TO WORK. HAVE OIL SLICK UNDERNEATH VEHICLE WHEN CAME OUT THAT AFTERNOON. WENT DIRECTLY BACK TO DEALERSHIP, AND THEY ADVISED THAT THEY HAD DONE NOTHING WRONG , BUT WAS A BAD OIL FILTER ADAPTER. I SEE A LOT OF THEM APPEAR TO FAIL, BUT THE TIMING IS SUSPECT. HAS THE REPLACEMENT PART BEEN UPGRADED TO PREVENT FUTURE FAILURES?

FOR MONTHS I SMELLED ANTIFREEZE FROM THE FRONT OF THE JEEP BUT THERE WERE NO LEAKS . AFTER A MONTH I FOUND DRIED ANTIFREEZE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE RADIATOR PASSENGER SIDE .

I HAVE A WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED 2014. AROUND 48,000 MILES I SMELLED BURNING OIL AN NOTICED OIL LEAKING UNDER THE CARRIAGE WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE OIL COOLER WAS LEAKING. THE ENGINE WAS FILLED WITH OIL. THEY REPLACED THE OIL COOLER AND ADAPTER. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. I HOPE JEEP REPLACED THE DAMAGED PART WITHONE THAT WILL PREVENT THE PROBLEM FROM REOCCURRING.

Mileage: 48,839

BURNING SMELL FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, TOOK IT IN AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE MY OIL COOLER. ENGINE WAS FILLED WITH OIL AND IT WAS A MAJOR LEAK FROM THE BACK. PART #68105583-AE WAS PUT IN IT'S PLACE AND I HAVE A SNEAKING SUSPICION IT WAS PART #68105583-AA THAT WAS BROKEN SINCE IT WAS MADE OUT OF PLASTIC! MY JEEP HAS 32K MILES, AND IS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THIS IS TOO MUCH! RECALL PLEASE!

I RECENTLY STARTING TO SMELL BURNING OIL IN MY JEEP. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT, AND FIGURED THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A MINOR SPILL OR THE OLD OIL WAS BURNING OFF AFTER MY RECENT OIL CHANGE. BUT AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS, THE SMELL REMAINED AND I NOTICED AN OIL STAIN WHERE I PARK THIS JEEP IN MY DRIVEWAY. I THEN THOUGHT THAT MAYBE MY MECHANIC FAILED TO PROPERLY INSTALL MY OIL FILTER AFTER THE LAST OIL CHANGE. BUT TURNS OUT, THE OIL FILTER HOUSING WAS LEAKING OIL. THIS IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS AND NOW HAS TO BE REPLACED. AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THIS PART IS MADE FROM PLASTIC AND HAS CAUSED MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS SPECIFIC MODEL YEAR. MY SISTER, WHO HAS THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL ALSO HAD TO HAVE HERS REPLACED. I ONLY HAVE 50K HIGHWAY MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS A DIFFERENT PART NUMBER, SO JEEP MAY HAVE MADE A MODIFICATION TO THE PART. I HOPE SO!

2014 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON 3.6. OIL FILTER ADAPTER LEAKING OIL. VEHICLE HAS LESS THEN 20 THOUSAND MILES ON IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. TOOK IT IN TWO DAYS AGO SHOWED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT PICTURES OF THE OIL ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. AFTER READING CONSUMER COMPLAINTS (2014 JEEP WRANGLER 3.6) I TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO LOOK AT THE OIL FILTER ADAPTER. SERVICE DEPARTMENT CALLED ME THE NEXT DAY AND SAID " YOU HAVE A OIL LEAK FROM THE OIL FILTER ADAPTER". IS THIS GOING TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM? WILL I HAVE TO REPLACE THIS PART EVERY 20 THOUSAND MILES? I REACHED OUT TO CHRYSLER TWICE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE GOTTEN KNOW RESPONSE. I FEEL THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR AND ENGINE FIRE IF CHRYSLER DOES NOT COME UP WITH A PERMANENT FIX.

Mileage: 19,555

HAD MY OIL CHANGED AND SHORTLY AFTER SMELLED BURNING OIL. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT, FIGURED THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A MINOR SPILL OR THE OLD OIL WAS BURNING OFF. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS, THE SMELL REMAINED AND I NOTICED AN OIL STAIN WHERE I PARKED MY CAR. THOUGHT THEY FORGOT TO PUT THE SCREW BACK IN BUT TURNS OUT, THE OIL FILTER HOUSING WAS LEAKING OIL. THIS IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS AND NOW HAS TO BE REPLACED. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THIS PART IS MADE FROM PLASTIC AND HAS CAUSED MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS SPECIFIC MODEL YEAR. A FRIEND OF MINE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE HIS. ONLY HAVE 30K MILES ON THE VEHICLE SO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU GET YOUR OIL CHANGED, WHOEVER IS SERVICING THE VEHICLE DOES NOT TIGHTEN DOWN THE FILTER TOO MUCH BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE THE PLASTIC PART TO CRACK. LOOKS LIKE THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS A DIFFERENT NUMBER SO JEEP MAY HAVE MADE A MODIFICATION TO THE PART.

Mileage: 30,000

DID OIL AND FILTER CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP. I GOT ON THE FREEWAY AND LOOKED AT MY REAR WINDOW WHEN I SAW SMOKE. DID NOT THINK OF IT MUCH SINCE I FIGURED ITS THE OLD OIL BURNING. DROVE FOR A GOOD 2-3 MILES AND IT WAS GETTING WORSE. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND A LOT OF SMOKE GOT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. GOT OUT AND THE OIL WAS DRAINING OVER THE MUFFLER, TRANSMISSION COVER THAT WAS CAUSING THE SMOKE. I THOUGHT THEY FORGOT TO PUT THE SCREW BACK ON OR THE OIL FILTER LOOSE. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. ONCE AT THE DEALERSHIP, WAS TOLD BY THE TECH THAT IT MIGHT OF BEEN THE OIL COOLER THAT WAS DRAINING OR GOT CRACKED, HE SAID THAT THIS IS PRETTY COMMON. I CHECKED ONLINE FOR RECALLS BUT DID NOT FIND ANY BUT I DID NOTICE A LOT OF JEEP FORUMS ONLINE THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YR. THIS COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD WITH ALL THAT OIL DRAINING ON THE MUFFLER AND THE ENGINE. BAD DESIGN OVERALL! I EVEN KNOW THAT, IT DOESN'T TAKE A GENIUS TO FIGURE THAT OUT, ITS COMMON SENSE. MAKING PARKS WITH PLASTIC PIPES? BY THE ENGINE AND IN A HOT AREA? IT MIGHT BE TO SAVE MONEY IN PARTS BUT I AM PAYING ON A $40000 JEEP. GOT THE PART 68105583AA REPLACED WITH 68105583AE. HOPEFULLY THIS GOT MOTIFIED.

MY SERVICE CENTER HAS NOTED THAT MY ENGINE HAS AN "OIL FILTER ADAPTER" WHICH APPEARS TO BE NEW FOR THIS MODEL YEAR AND THE LEAK APPEARS TO BE EMANATING FROM THAT AREA.

I TOOK MINE IN AFTER SMELLING A VERY STRONG BURNING OIL SMELL (NOT DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE FOR ANOTHER 1,200 MILES) AND SEEING OIL ON THE FLOOR OF MY GARAGE. JEEP IS UNDRIVABLE IN THIS CONDITION AND PART HAS TO BE ORDERED DUE TO HIGH DEMAND. WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE BEING WIDESPREAD AND EVEN MENTIONED THAT A RECALL MAY BE COMING DOWN THE PIPELINE.

AS STATED ON WWW.JEEPPROBLEMS.COM/TSBS/WRANGLER/2014/ A REPORT OF A MALFUNCTION ON THE OIL ENGINE PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT HAS BEEN REPORTED AS MALFUNCTIONING. SEE BELOW. DATE REPORTED: JUNE 06, 2014 NHTSA REFERENCE: #10056046 TSB REFERENCE: #SB-18-034-14 DESCRIPTION: ON SOME MODEL VEHICLES AND JEEPS, (MY 2013-2014)MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) ILLUMINATES AND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IS SET REGARDING ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT. IN ORDER FOR US TO CORRECT THE ISSUE WE HAVE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE INTO THE JEEP FACILITY PAY $100.00 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK TO BE COMPLETED AND AN ADDITIONAL $252.00 FOR THE CIRCUIT TO BE CORRECTED AND REPLACED. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 47,000 ON IT AND AFTER WE SPOKE WITH JEEP CORPORATE THEY SPECIFIED THAT THE ONLY WAY THEY WOULD EVEN LOOK INTO IT IS FOR US TO HAS THE SERVICE DONE AND PROVIDE THEM WITH A TICKET NUMBER. THIS IS UNDERSTANDABLE BUT THE LOCAL JEEP COMPANY LOCATED IN JACKSONVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA ONLY HAS A NEXT AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT 5 DAYS FROM NOW ON JANUARY 11, 2016. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH US DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS THIS VEHICLE IS ALSO THE VEHICLE THAT TRANSPORTS A CHILD WITH A BRAIN INJURY FROM A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. SO FROM OUR UNDERSTANDING WE CAN EITHER DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD POSSIBLY LOCK UP BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH OIL PRESSURE TO IT, OR , WE CAN WAIT 5 DAYS WITH NOT DRIVING OUR VEHICLE AND HAVE THE MALFUNCTION CORRECTED. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE FOR FREE BECAUSE TECHNICALLY IT HAS NOT BEEN PLACED ON A RECALL LIST AS OF YET. THIS IS PUTTING FAMILIES IN DANGER AND UNCALLED FOR. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY THE COMPANY ITSELF.

OIL FILTER HOUSING/COOLER LEAK BREAKS ON NUMEROUS LOW MILEAGE WRANGLERS, MOSTLY ON OR BEFORE 25,000 MILES. MINE WAS AT 21,000 MILES WHEN IT CRACK AND LEAKED PROFUSELY. THIS LEAKS SPREAD QUICKLY AND MOTOR OIL WAS GATHERING ON THE EXHAUST PIPE UNDER THE ENGINE BAY. THIS CREATED SMOKE FROM THE BURNING OIL WHICH COULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A VEHICLE FIRE. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND THE ISSUE QUICKLY AND DIAGNOSE IT. THIS ALSO IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE, HAVING FLUIDS ESPECIALLY ENGINE OIL, LEAK ONTO ROADWAYS OR OTHER DRIVING SURFACES. JEEP HAS YET TO FORMALLY ADMIT TO THIS ISSUE, THOSE SEVERAL IF NOT ALL DEALERS ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE IN THE 2014 YEAR MODEL. CHEROKEE OWNERS ARE ALSO REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE, AND COME TO FIND OUT THE WRANGLER AND CHEROKEE SHARE THIS SAME EXACT PART. JEEP HAS FOCUSED ON CUTTING PRODUCTIONS COSTS RATHER THAN SAFETY. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED TO JEEP AND CHRYSLER IMMEDIATELY.

OBSERVED OIL LEAKING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK ON THE TOP PART OF THE ENGINE AROUND THE OIL FILTER. THE LEAK WAS CAUSED BY A CRACK IN THE OIL COOLER HOUSING AND OIL WAS COVERING THE TOP PART OF THE ENGINE AND RUNNING DOWN ON TO THE TRANSMISSION AND THE EXHAUST.

I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE AT LEASE 50 OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE IS JUST NOT AN INCONVENIENCE BUT A SAFETY HAZARD AS WELL BECAUSE OIL ON TOP OF THE ENGINE AND THE EXHAUST IS A FIRE HAZARD.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, I ACCIDENTALLY BUMPED THE KEYS OF MY JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH MY KNEE, AND THE KEY TURNED COUNTER-CLOCKWISE ENOUGH TO TURN THE CAR OFF. OBVIOUSLY, WHEN THE CAR TURNED OFF, THE BRAKES AND STEERING LOST POWER. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AROUND ME, AND I WAS ABLE TO CAREFULLY COAST TO THE SHOULDER AND RE-START MY CAR. MY VEHICLE IS MANUAL, SO I COULD HAVE RESTARTED FROM NEUTRAL, BUT BASED ON DISCUSSION BOARDS, AUTOMATICS DO NOT HAVE THAT LUXURY. DOING A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH FOR "JEEP BUMP KEY" YIELDS MANY DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THAT JEEP CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM IN COMMANDERS AND GRAND CHEROKEES, BUT THERE IS NOTHING FOR WRANGLERS. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY WILL NOT DIAGNOSE OR REPLACE ANYTHING FOR FREE WITHOUT AN ACTIVE RECALL. I AM 6' AND DO NOT SIT EXCESSIVELY CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL.

I EXPERIENCED THE OIL LEAK FROM THE OIL COOLER. REPLACED WITH THE AB PART. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE A DEVASTATING INCIDENT. EITHER TOO FAR AWAY FROM DEALER\SHOP OR A FIRE. THE AMOUNT OF OIL LEAKING WAS ABSURD. CLEARLY THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

I HAVE A 2014 WRANGLER JK WITH 10,900 MILES AND I HAVE A 5 MILE DRIVE TO WORK. TWO DAYS AGO, JANUARY 14, 2015 AS I EXITED THE VEHICLE, I SMELL BURNT OIL. I LIFTED THE HOOD, I DON'T SEE ANYTHING LIKE OIL. I LOOKED UNDERNEATH FOR A DRIP OR PUDDLE, BUT I SAW NOTHING. AS I LEFT WORK LATER THAT AFTERNOON, I LOOKED UNDER THE JEEP AND THERE APPEARED TO BE A SLIGHT PUDDLE OF LEAKING OIL. I DROVE 5 MILES HOME. AFTER I GOT THERE, I OBSERVED A GOOD SIZED OIL PUDDLE ON THE DRIVEWAY MIDWAY UNDER JEEP WITH SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST! I HAD JEEP TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND I WAS I JUST ADVISED THAT IT WAS THE OIL COOLER/ADAPTER HOUSING. I HAD 10,900 MILES ON ODOMETER WHEN IT OCCURRED. I HOPE CHRYSLER ENGINEERS A REPLACEMENT PART FAST! OTHERWISE, THE FINE FOLKS AT JEEP MAY BE LOOKING AT CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE AND/OR FIRE FROM OIL COMING IN CONTACT WITH HOT ENGINE OR DRIVE LINE PARTS ON ALL OF THE MY 2014 JKS! THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT WAS FIRST REPORTED IN MAY 2014. *TR

I STARTED JEEP, THE RADIO CHANNEL MYSTERIOUSLY CHANGED, DROVE APPROX 1 MILE, CAME TO A STOP LIGHT AT A BUSY MOUNTAIN INTERSECTION AND THE ENTIRE JEEP BLACKED OUT, I LOST ALL FUNCTIONS, WE WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED AND T BONED AT THE SAME TIME, RETURNED THE JEEP TO PARK AND RESTARTED. I TOOK THE JEEP TO DEALER THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T RECREATE PROBLEM, I DROVE JEEP OFF THE PROPERTY ONLY TO HAVE IT DIE AT THE FIRST TRAFFIC LIGHT, PUT INTO PARK RESTARTED ONLY TO HAVE IT DIE AGAIN. FINALLY MADE IT BACK TO JEEP, THEY'VE HAD IT FOR A WEEK AND THEY CLAIM THEY STILL CANT FIND THE PROBLEM. I DON'T TRUST THE VEHICLE NOR DO I FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IN THE MOUNTAINS WHICH IS WHERE I LIVE. ALSO NOTE, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER, SO DOES THAT MEAN THE AIRBAGS WONT DEPLOY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

JEEP COMPLETELY DIED (LOST ALL POWER, INCLUDING ALL ELECTRICAL, BRAKE LIGHTS, PANEL LIGHTS, ETC) IN CONDO PARKING LOT. GOT OUT TO START PUSHING IT BACK TO PARKING SPOT, AND A FEW SECONDS LATER THE DOOR CHIME STARTED AND POWER WAS RESTORED. RADIO WAS BOOTING UP FROM COLD START (SHOWING GARMIN LOGO). RESTARTED CAR, IT TURNED OVER AND STARTED NORMALLY. STARTED DRIVING FORWARD AGAIN, AND IN ABOUT 20 FEET, IT COMPLETELY DIED AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY, AND CAME BACK TO LIFE ABOUT TEN SECONDS LATER. DECIDED IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART AGAIN AND REVERSE TO PARKING SPOT. JEEP WAS TOWED ON NOVEMBER 3 AND REPAIRED ON NOVEMBER 4 WHEN THE PART CAME IN. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIPM WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW VERSION THAT DIDN'T HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEMS. *TR

FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS PULLING OUT OF A RED LIGHT AND IT SEEMED THE JEEP WOULDN'T SHIFT GEARS, THE RPMS REVVED UP AND IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT KEEPING UP WITH THE RPMS. THIS CONTINUED FOR A COUPLE SECONDS AND I PULLED TO THE BIRM OF THE ROAD AND PUT THE JEEP IN NEUTRAL. I THEN PROCEEDED TO PUT IT IN DRIVE AND PULLED OUT. I TOOK MY JEEP TO THE DEALER (JEEP IN NEWNAN GA) AND THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE COMPUTER DIDN'T DIAGNOSE ANY PROBLEM. THIS HAS SINCE HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS ON OCTOBER 3RD WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. THE PERSON BEHIND HER ALMOST WRECKED INTO HER. *TR

OIL LEAK DUE TO CRACKED OIL COOLER HOUSING. RISK OF ENGINE FIRE. *TR

Mileage: 2,600

OBSERVED OIL UNDER THE VEHICLE. SUSPECTED THAT THE OIL COOLER WAS LEAKING BASED UPON OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. OBSERVED A LARGE PUDDLE OF OIL IN THE VALLEY OF ENGINE AT THE OIL COOLER. ALL THIS WAS OBSERVED AFTER THE SECOND OIL CHANGE (DEALER). PARTS MANAGER AT DEALER STATED THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM ON THE 2014 MODELS WITH THE 3.2 AND 3.6 ENGINE. DEPENDING HOW LARGE THE CRACK IS ON THE COOLER THIS COULD CAUSE ALL THE OIL TO BE EVACUATED FROM THE ENGINE CAUSING A FIRE WITH THE HOT EXHAUST OR SEIZING THE ENGINE CAUSING A CRASH. THE OIL FILTER/COOLER WAS REDESIGNED FOR THE 2014 MODEL YEAR. AT THIS POINT IT SEEMS TO BE AFFECTING THE 2014 MODEL YEAR. *TR

I TOOK IT TO BIG O TIRE TO HAVE THE BALL JOINTS REPLACED AS I KNEW THAT SINCE I HAVE OVER SIZE TIRES AND A LIFT KIT THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE BEEN SMELLING OIL FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, AND CHECKED IT WHEN I LEFT WINSLOW AZ. TO GO HOME TO KINGMAN AZ. AND IT WAS JUST A BIT LOW. SO WHEN I PICKED IT UP FROM BIG O TIRE FOR THE BALL JOINT REPLACEMENT THEY TOLD ME IT WAS 3 QUARTS LOW ON OIL (THAT'S A 186 MILE TRIP) AND THEY FILLED IT, I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO MARTIN SWANTY CHRYSLER JEEP IN KINGMAN AZ. WHICH IS WHERE I LIVE. THEY LOOKED IT OVER AND TOLD ME IT WAS A SPILL FROM WHEN I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT OIL CAN HENRY'S. THEY CLEANED IT UP A BIT AND CHARGED ME 72.00 AND TOLD ME I WAS GOOD TO GO. I TOOK IT TO THE CAR WASH AND FLUSHED THE ENGINE VALLEY OUT REALLY GOOD AND DROVE IT HOME. I LOOKED IN THE ENGINE VALLEY AND VERIFIED THAT THERE WAS ONLY WATER IN THE VALLEY AROUND THE OIL FILTER, BUT WHEN I GOT HOME IT WAS FULL OF OIL AGAIN, SO I GOGGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THIS ON HTTP://WWW.WRANGLERFORUM.COM/F274/2014-CRACKED-OIL-COOLER-HOUSINGS-LOOKS-LIKE-A-SERIOUS-ISSUE-698297-13.HTML WRANGLER FORUM AND SEARCHED FOR 2014 JKU OIL LEAK AND FOUND IT TO BE A OIL COOLER LEAK THAT LOOKS LIKE IT IS COMMON ON THE 2014 MODELS AND MOST DEALERS DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT ???? THIS IS FRIDAY 09-12-2014, THIS IS MY WORK VEHICLE AS I WORK PIPELINE. I WILL TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER MONDAY. *TR

WAS TRAVELING IN OUR 3 WEEK OLD 2014 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR AUTOMATIC IN CENTRAL CALIFORNIA. HEADING WEST ON A REMOTE TWO LANE HIGHWAY IN APPROX. 84 DEGREE DRY CONDITIONS. SPEED LIMIT IN THIS AREA IS 55. I CAME UPON A FARM TRUCK WHO WAS TRAVELING AT APPROX. 45-50 MPH. WHEN CONDITIONS WERE SAFE, I PULLED INTO THE ONCOMING LANE AND PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE VERY HARD TO PASS THE FARM VEHICLE IN A SAFE DISTANCE. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON BUT WAS CURRENTLY NOT IN USE. AS I WAS ALMOST AROUND THE FARM VEHICLE I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AT FULL THROTTLE. I FIRST VIEWED THE ROAD AHEAD OF ME TO SEE IF IT WAS CLEAR WHILE AT THE SAME TIME I STOMPED ON THE BRAKE. I ALSO TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL COMPLETELY OFF. AN ERROR MESSAGE FLASHED ON THE DASH HOWEVER DUE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES I DID NOT SEE WHAT IT INDICATED. THE BRAKING HELPED BUT AS SOON AS I TOOK THE FOOT OFF THE BRAKE IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AT FULL THROTTLE. I WOULD ESTIMATE THAT THE JEEP REACHED A SPEED OF 100 WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I THEN PREPARED TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL BUT FIRST REACHED AND GRABBED THE FLOOR MAT AND YANKED IT AS HARD AS I COULD TO PULL IT AWAY FROM THE GAS PEDAL AS I WAS STILL UNSURE OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THE ISSUE FELT MORE LIKE AN ELECTRONIC ISSUE THEN A GAS PEDAL CAUGHT ON A FLOOR MAT. HOWEVER THIS DID SEEM TO STOP THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. ONCE HOME I VERIFIED THAT I COULD NOT SEE IN ANY WAY HOW THE FLOOR MAT WOULD HOLD DOWN THE GAS PEDAL AS THE GAS PEDAL SNAPS BACK WITH QUITE A BIT OF FORCE WHEN PUSHING THE FLOOR MAT IN FRONT OF THE PEDAL. THIS VERY WELL MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE FLOOR MAT HOWEVER I WOULD LIKE TO DOCUMENT WHAT HAPPENED. *TR

ON JULY 3, 2014, THE VEHICLE LOST ENGINE POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING DURING A 150-MILE ROAD TRIP. UPON COASTING FOR A SHORT DISTANCE, ENGINE POWER RESTORED, AND I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND CONTINUE DRIVING WITHOUT FURTHER TROUBLE THAT DAY. I DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR BECAUSE I ASSUMED IT WAS AN ISOLATED EPISODE. HOWEVER, ON JULY 22, 2014, I AGAIN HAD TROUBLE WHILE ON ANOTHER 300-MILE ROUND-TRIP ROAD TRIP. DURING THE RETURN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE LOST ENGINE POWER AT LEAST SIX TIMES BOTH ON THE INTERSTATE AND ON LOCAL ROADS. EACH TIME, I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SO AS TO NOT BLOCK THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. AFTER A SHORT TIME, ABOUT 30 SECONDS, ENGINE POWER RESTORED, AND I WAS AGAIN ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND CONTINUE ON WITH MY TRIP. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER ON JULY 23, 2014, WHERE IT WAS KEPT UNTIL JULY 28, 2014. THE TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE, AND THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE IDENTIFIED. SOFTWARE UPDATES WERE RUN IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I AGAIN HAD TROUBLE WITH THE VEHICLE ON AUGUST 18, 2014, WHEN DRIVING A 400-MILE ROUND-TRIP ROAD TRIP. DURING THE DRIVE, THE VEHICLE LOST ENGINE POWER FIVE TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE, AT SPEEDS UP TO 70 MILES PER HOUR. UPON THE FIFTH EPISODE THAT DAY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE CLOSEST DEALER FOR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION, AS I FEARED I WOULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BY LOSING ENGINE POWER WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY INTERSTATE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE, BUT THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT HE SAW SIGNS OF THE PROBLEM I DESCRIBED DURING HIS EVALUATIVE DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS RELEASED TO ME AND I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE USUAL DEALER THE FOLLOWING DAY FOR A MORE COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION. UPON DRIVING IT FOR OVER 100 MILES, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND, THUS, AGAIN HAS BEEN UNABLE TO IDENTIFY AND REPAIR THE ISSUE. *TR

HAD OIL CHANGED BY DEALERSHIP AND BEGAN TO SMELL A BURNED OIL SMELL. THOUGHT MAYBE OIL DRIPPED ON ENGINE DURING OIL CHANGE. THEN NOTICED SMALL OIL PUDDLE UNDER JEEP IN PARKING SPOT AND OIL ON UNDERSIDE OF JEEP. TOOK IN FOR SERVICE AND DEALER STATED SAW OIL BUT NO IDEA WHERE IT'S COMING FROM, WASHED DOWN ENGINE TOLD TO WATCH FOR OIL. OIL LEAK CONTINUES TO WORSEN AND CALL FOR APPOINTMENT WHICH IS 2 WEEKS OUT BECAUSE LOANER IS NEEDED. OIL DOWN 1/2 QUART FROM LEAKING. COME HOME TONIGHT AND LARGE OIL PUDDLE UNDER JEEP. LIFT HOOD AND TAKE OFF ENGINE COVER AND A LARGE POOL OF OIL ON TOP OF ENGINE RIGHT NEXT TO OIL FILTER HOUSING. DO SOME RESEARCH ON WEB AND IT APPEARS THAT CRACKED OIL FILTER HOUSINGS ARE AN ISSUE ON THE 2014 WRANGLERS. CALL DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO MOVE UP APPOINTMENT BECAUSE NO LOANERS ARE AVAILABLE. TELL ME TO KEEP DRIVING AND JUST TOPPING OFF OIL EVERY DAY EVEN THO MY NEW WRANGLER IS NOW COVERED IN MOTOR OIL ON THE WHOLE UNDERSIDE. HERE ARE PICS OF THE ISSUE AND INFORMATION ON THE PROBLEM.

I WAS UNSURE IT WAS MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I ASSUMED IT WAS A NEW VEHICLE THAT THERE IS NOT WAY IT COULD BE MY JEEP. ON MARCH 5TH 2014 I HAD A LOT OF OIL SPILL OUT OF MY VEHICLE. I TOOK THE JEEP INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON MARCH 6TH AND THEY NOTICED THE SPILLING OF OIL. I DROPPED OF MY JEEP WITH THEM AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT. THEY SAID THAT MY OIL COOLER WAS LEAKING. AND THEY REPLACED THE OIL COOLER. COME TO FIND OUT THIS IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD. A BRAND NEW CAR AND THE OIL COOLER FAILS. THEY WERE REALLY VAGUE AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENED AND BRUSHED ME OFF TELLING ME "ITS FIXED, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT". I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE NOW DRIVING MY JEEP AND I AM CONCERNED IF THIS IS A LEMON CAR. I SPOKE TO SEVERAL MANAGERS OVER AT RIVER OAKS CHRYSLER JEEP AND THEY SEEMED TO BRUSH ME OFF AND WOULD TELL ME "YOU ARE GETTING MAD OVER A CAR; ONE OF OUR SALES JUST FOUND OUT HE HAS CANCER".
