2014 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

OIL COOLING HOUSE IS CRACKED, DUE TO EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER IN OKLAHOMA. OIL IS LEAKING AND THERE IS A BURNING SMELL WHEN DRIVING. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, THIS OEM PART IS ON BACK ORDER, CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE WITH DRIVING. THE CHANCE OF AN ENGINE FIRE / BLOWN ENGINE DUE TO LOW OIL. BEING A JEEP OWNER THIS BACK ORDER IS UNACCEPTABLE. AT THIS TIME, I HAVE AN ESTIMATE FOR $1600.00 IN REPAIRS TO FIX THIS ISSUE WITH A JEEP DEALER IN TOWN

DURING THE WINTER STORM IN TEXAS TEMPERATURES WHERE BELOW 0. MY FAMILY WAS WITHOUT POWER AND NEED TO EVACUATE. AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE I STARTED TO SMELL BURNING OIL WITH THE ENGINE IDLING. I NOTICED THERE WAS ENGINE OIL DRIPPING FROM TRANSMISSION, DRIVESHAFTS AND SKID PLATES. I TRACED THE OIL BACK UP TO THE ENGINE AND THEN FURTHER TO THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. THERE IS ENGINE OIL AND COOLANT POOLED IN THE VALLEY BETWEEN THE ENGINE HEADS, UNDERNEATH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE OIL FILTER/COOLER ASSEMBLY IS LEAKING EITHER THE O-RINGS ARE BAD OR THE PLASTIC HOUSING HAS CRACKED. RESEARCHING I FOUND THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR SOME TIME. CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. WHY NO RECALLS? PLUS THE PART FROM RETAILERS STATE THE THE PART IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE.

RUNNING ERRANDS IN THE JEEP I STARTED TO SMELL BURNING OIL WHILE STOPPED WITH THE ENGINE IDLING. RETURNED HOME TO NOTICE THERE WAS ENGINE OIL DRIPPING FROM TRANSMISSION, DRIVESHAFTS AND SKID PLATES. I TRACED THE OIL BACK UP TO THE ENGINE AND THEN FURTHER TO THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. THERE IS ENGINE OIL AND COOLANT POOLED IN THE VALLEY BETWEEN THE ENGINE HEADS, UNDERNEATH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE DIAGNOSIS IS THE OIL FILTER/COOLER ASSEMBLY. EITHER THE O-RINGS ARE BAD OR THE PLASTIC HOUSING HAS CRACKED. THE JEEP IS OUT OF WARRANTY FOR BOTH THE BUMPER TO BUMPER AND THE POWERTRAIN. HOWEVER, THE JEEP HAS LESS THAN 50K MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE REPAIR WILL BE DONE BY MY SELF AS MY ABILITIES ARE COMPETENT AND I REFUSE TO PAY 1200.00 DOLLARS FOR A MECHANIC OR DEALERSHIP TO PERFORM THIS TASK, PARTICULARLY SEEING THE TOTAL COST OF PARTS IS LESS THAN 250.00. FCA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AS LEAKS IN THE LUBRICATING AND COOLING SYSTEM COULD RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE, VEHICLE FIRES, LOSS OF LIFE OR GREAT BODILY HARM AND HARM TO SURROUNDING INDIVIDUALS, PROPERTY AND/OR THE ENVIRONMENT. SOUNDS LIKE ENOUGH TO WARRANT A RECALL, IF YOU ASK ME.

I NOTICED A LARGE PUDDLE OF OIL WHEN MOVING VEHICLE FROM PARKED POSITION. THERE WAS NO INDICATOR ON VEHICLE THAT IT WAS LOW ON OIL. WHEN CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL IN THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS NONE SHOWING ON THE DIP STICK. ALL OIL HAD LEAKED OUT OF VEHICLE. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL. IT WAS THE OIL FILTER HOUSING DEFECTIVE RELEASING ALL OIL FROM VEHICLE. THIS PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND NOT EXPECTED TO BE AVAILABLE FOR 45 OR MORE DAYS. THIS TELLS ME THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE. WHAT IF I HAD NOT NOTICED THE OIL THAT HAD LEAKED OUT AND MY THE ENGINE LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY.

FOLLOWING A MANDATORY PCM FLASH RECALL, I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY '14 JEEP WRANGLER'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. IT WILL INTERMITTENTLY NOT UPSHIFT UNDER HEAVY ACCELERATION. INSTEAD, THE ENGINE REVS TO 4K, AND IT WILL STAY IN THE GEAR. ONLY IF I LET OFF THE GAS AND ALLOW IT TO RESET, THEN GRADUALLY ACCELERATE WILL IT WORK PROPERLY. THE DEALERSHIP AND JEEP HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE, HAVING REPLACED THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION, PCM, AND ECU, AS WELL AS NUMEROUS OTHER PARTS AND SENSORS. I FULLY BELIEVE THIS IS COMPUTER SOFTWARE RELATED, BUT THE MANUFACTURER IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A POTENTIAL ISSUE. FOR THE LONGEST TIME, I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET A DTC CODE, BUT MOST RECENTLY FOUND A STORED ONE THAT APPEARS TO DIRECT THE ISSUE TO THE CAN-BUS COMMUNICATION ISSUE. ATTACHING SCREENSHOT.

OIL FILTER HOUSING IS CRACKED. UPON TALKING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THIS IS A KNOWN AND FREQUENT ISSUE.
