2014 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

OIL FILTER HOUSING IS LEAKING, CAUSING COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF ENGINE OIL TO LEAK OVER THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION AND DROPPING DOWN ON TO ENGINE EXHAUST CAUSING IT SMOKE AND EMIT NOXIOUS FUMES INTO THE VEHICLE CABIN. 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.

THE ENGINE OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY IS LEAKING A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL INTO THE "V" OF THE ENGINE AND DRIPPING ON TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR OVER A WEEK AND UPON DRIVING SMOKE WITH THE SMELL OF BURNING OIL FILLED THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED FOR FIRE AND DAMAGE. IT WAS NOTED THAT THE TRANSMISSION, FRAME RAILS, AND EXHAUST PIPES WERE COVERED IN OIL AND THE VEHICLE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2.5 QUARTS LOW ON OIL. NO PRIOR SIGNS OF AN OIL LEAK WERE PRESENT BEFORE THE SMOKE AND BURN OIL SMELL WAS NOTICED DURING NORMAL USE OF THE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING NOTICED AN OIL BURNING SMELL, GOT HOME AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND FOUND A POOL OF ENGINE OIL. FOUND OUT FROM OWNER OF THE SAME CAR THAT A BROKEN OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSE THE CAR TO BURN- VERY DANGEROUS INDEED. HAPPENS IN LOTS OF CHRYSLER'S VEHICLES

ANOTHER 2014 JEEP WRANGLER OWNER WITH A CRACKED OIL FILTER HOUSING/COOLING ASSEMBLY. OIL IS SPILLING OUT ALL OVER EXHAUST. CERTAINLY A FIRE HAZARD. WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS PARTICULAR PART THAT I HAVE SEEN ALL OVER JEEP FORMING AND ON THE NHTSA SITE I AM SURPRISED THAT CHRYSLER HAS NOT TAKEN ANY ACTION BUT IS LEAVING THIS TO THEIR OWNERS TO RECTIFY.

THE OIL FILTER HOUSING ADAPTOR IS DEFECTIVE. IT IS PLASTIC AND WHEN IT CRACKS IT DUMPS OIL DIRECTLY ONTO THE EXHAUST, WHICH CAN CAUSE A FIRE

MASSIVE OIL LEAK AT THE OIL COOLER HOUSING. (2 QUARTS PER DAY). LEAKING ON THE TOP OF THE MOTOR AND LEAKING DOWN THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE ENGINE DIRECTLY OVER THE HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD. LEAK OCCURS AT ALL RPM RANGES AND LEAVES MASSIVE PUDDLES OF OIL EVERYWHERE I GO WHICH IS NOT GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. AND PRESENTS A FIRE HAZARD IF STUCK IN TRAFFIC AND ENGINE TEMPS RISE ENOUGH TO CAUSE IGNITION OF LEAKING OIL OVER A HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD.

THE OIL FILTER HOUSING ADAPTOR IS DEFECTIVE. IT IS PLASTIC AND WHEN IT CRACKS IT DUMPS OIL DIRECTLY ONTO THE EXHAUST, WHICH CAN CAUSE A FIRE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS LEAKING OIL THAT PRODUCED A BURNING ODOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE OIL LEAKED ONTO THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS ALSO EVIDENCE OF AN OIL LEAK ON THE GROUND UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM FIAT OF ONTARIO (1202 AUTO CENTER DR, ONTARIO, CA 91761, (909) 906-7097) TO BE DIAGNOSED, WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,334.

CRACKED OIL FILTER HOUSING, PICTURES SHOW LEAKS ON THE GROUND AND CROSS MEMBER, CAME OUT TO THE LEAKS THIS MORNING.

SEEN OIL SPOTS ON MY DRIVEWAY SO I TOOK MY JEEP TO A DEALER WHERE A POND INVESTIGATING THEY FOUND THAT THE ENGINE OIL ADAPTER WAS LEAKING. THERE IS 51,668 MILES ON IT
