2014 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

OIL FILTER HOUSING LEAKING QUARTS OF OIL. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD BECAUSE OF WHERE IT IS LOCATED. I HAVE SEEN 1000,S OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS. THIS MORNING I STARTED MY CAR TO WARM UP AND THERE WAS A POOL OF OIL UNDERNEATH OF IT. MY OIL LEAK STARTED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, STARTED SMALL AND NOW IT IS DUMPING OIL

VEHICLE STALLS WHEN STARTED, BRAKE DEPRESSED AND SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. WILL OCCUR SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW, UNLESS BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED AS SOON AS VEHICLE IS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. WHEN BRAKE IS RELEASED, VEHICLE ACCELERATES UNUSUALLY FAST, IN REVERSE, WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. PROBLEM IS MORE PROMINENT IN COLDER WEATHER (BELOW 40F).

2014 3.6L OIL FILTER/HOUSING/COOLER CRACK LEAK OIL ON ENGINE SMELL OF BURNING (FIRE HAZARD)

IN 2014 MOPAR STARTED USING A PLASTIC OIL FILER / COOLER HOUSING ON THE 3.6 PENSTAR ENGINES. THIS PLASTIC OIL FILER/COOLER HOUSING IS EASY TO CRACK OR DEVELOP OIL LEAKS. THE OIL THEN PUDDLES UP UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD LAYING AGAINST THE HOT ENGINE BLOCK. IT APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY DESIGN THAT COULD RESULT IN ENGINE FIRES OR BREAKDOWNS FROM LOSS OF OIL. 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. MOPAR SHOULD REPLACE THESE ON ALL VEHICLES AFTER THE 2014 YEAR.

OIL HOUSING COOLER CRACKED, LEAKING OIL POOLING ALL DOWN INTO UNDERCARRIAGE. POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD

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.

THE OIL COOLER/OIL FILTER ADAPTOR FAILED. THIS PART IS PLASTIC AND SITS ON TOP OF THE ENGINE....! SINCE 2014 THIS PART HAS FAILED IN MANY FCA VEHICLES AND WHEN IT DOES IT LEAKS OIL AND COOLANT ON TOP OF A RUNNING/HOT ENGINE! IN MY CASE IT FAILED AND CAUSED A LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE WHICH THEN DAMAGED THE CAM SHAFTS AND O2 SENSOR. 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! THE COMPANY SHOULD AT A MINIMUM EXTEND THE WARRANTY FOR THAT PART ON EVERY ENGINE IT HAS BEEN USED IN.

2014 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 43,000 MILES SEVERE OIL LEAK FROM OIL FILTER HOUSING. OIL WENT FROM SMALL DRIP TO SEVERE LEAK WITH OIL COATING CROSS MEMBER AND EXHAUST PIPE WITHIN WEEKS. OIL DRIPPING AND COATING THE HOT EXHAUST IS A FIRE HAZZARD AND YOU CAN SMELL THE BURNING OIL AT EVERY STOP LIGHT. $1000 REPAIR AT THE DEALER.

I PURCHASED A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH THE 3.6 LITER PENTASTAR ENGINE. I BOUGHT IT WITH 75K MILES. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 500 MILES, THERE WAS A VERY LOUD TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND SAID THE REPAIRS START AT $2,200. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET PERTAINING TO THIS TICKING AND NUMEROUS VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE SHOWING HOW TO REPAIR THE LIFTER NOISE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD MAKE THE FIX.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT AND AUDIBLE TONE COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY GOES AND COMES WHILE DRIVING AND OR IDLING. PASSENGER SIDE INFLATOR WAS REPLACED WITH RECALL. RESEARCHING THIS WARNING MANY 2014 JK'S ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. RESEARCH POINTS DIRECTLY TO THE CLOCK SPRING. FCA USA SHOULD REPLACE THE PART AS A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR RHD JK'S AND MANY LHD JK'S ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.
