    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?

    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.

    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.
