2014 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

TAKATA RECALL WE GOT THE NOTICED ABOUT THE RECALL. HOW IT COULD BE LIFE THREATENING. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS HOW A RECALL CAN BE PUT OUT LIKE THAT AND THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. WE TOOK OUR JEEP TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD PART HAD TO BE ORDERED. LITTLE OVER A MONTH AND THE PART STILL WASN'T IN. NEEDLESS TO SAY OUR JEEP WAS IN A WRECK. NOW MY HUSBAND HAS NIGHTMARES BECAUSE WE WERE HEADING FOR A MEDIAN WALL STRAIGHT ON. SOME HOW HE GOT THE WHEEL TURNED JUST ENOUGH SO WE HIT THE CORNER OF THE BUMPER. THANK GOD THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AS I COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY HURT OR DIED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY GETTING PARTS TAKES SO LONG. SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE WHEN IT IS THE MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH JEEP AND THEY WANTED TO KNOW WHERE OUR JEEP WAS SO THEY COULD LOOK AT IT. WHY DOES THAT MATTER?! IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT IT TAKES SO LONG TO GET PARTS. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS IS MY WHOLE REASON IN WRITING YOU. CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT FOR PARTS ESPECIALLY WHEN THAT PART IS IN A VEHICLE. THE DATE BELOW IS THE DATE OF OUR ACCIDENT.

JEEP HAS A KNOWN EPIC FAILURE IS DESIGN FLAW IN ITS 2014 WRANGLER WHEN IT SWITCHED FROM A METAL OIL FILTER COOLER HOUSING TO A PLASTIC OIL FILTER COOLER HOUSING. HUNDREDS OF CASES OF THE PART BREAKING/LEAKING OIL ALL OVER LOWER ENGINE AND EXHAUST WHICH IS A FIRE HAZARD. MY PART LEAKED OIL OVER AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF TIME BECAUSE I LIVE WITH A GRAVEL DRIVEWAY.....NOW DEALER SHOWS ME "METAL" LIKE GLOW TO OIL WHICH COULD BE ENGINE FAILURE.....HUNDREDS OF CASES

MOPAR OIL COOLER HOUSING, WHICH HOUSES A COOLER AND OIL FILTER, SITS ON THE ENGINE AND HAS CRACKED, CAUSING OIL TO LEAK OUT OF IT. OIL LEAKS DOWN THE ENGINE AND ONTO THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2014'S, WHICH CAN BE FOUND VIA A QUICK AND SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH. CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN I DISCOVERED THE LEAK. CAR DEALERSHIP VERIFIED THE ISSUE AND SUPPLIED ME WITH AN ESTIMATE, STATING THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE. ABOUT 3 HOUR REPAIR AND COULD COST 700-1100.

I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP AT NIGHT IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. I LOOKED DOWN AND THERE WAS A SHARP TURN IN THE ROAD. BY THE TIME I REALIZED IT, IT WAS TOO LATE AND I HIT THE GUARD RAIL. THE FIRE STARTED RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY WINDSHIELD. I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT BUT WITHIN MINUTES MY ENTIRE JEEP THAT WAS LESS THAT A YEAR OLD AT THE TIME WAS COMPLETELY CONSUMED IN FLAMES. THE FRONT END WAS STILL IN TACT SO THE DAMAGE IN MY OPINION WAS NOT NEARLY ENOUGH TO RESULT IN TOTAL LOSS.

I HAVE CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER AS WELL AS JEEP DIRECTLY AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PART TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE IS NOT AVAILABLE. THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING FOR THREE MONTHS.

I HAVE TAKEN MY WRANGLER IN FOR THE 2ND TIME NOW WITH A BLACK SLUDGE IN THE OVERFLOW AND RADIATOR. THE LAST DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE RADIATOR, TRANS COOLER, ALL HOSES AND AND FLUSHED. NOW ONE YEAR LATER I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOW TELLING ME THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE ISSUE IS, AND IS WANTING TO CHARGE ME FOR A FLUSH. THIS COOLANT IS RATED TO 150,000 MILES I SHOULD NOT NEED A FLUSH. I BELIEVE I MAY BE APART OF AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH SAND IN THE HEATER CORE AS THEY WANT TO REPLACE THIS BUT SAYING IT MAY NOT BE COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. THERE IS ALWAYS AN ODOR OF ANTI-FREEZE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE NOTICED WHEN AROUND OTHER WRANGLER JK'S I SMELL THE ANTIFREEZE WITH THEM TOO.

LEFT HAND SIDE TOGGLE ( THAT SWITCHES TURN SIGNALS ON AND OFF) CAUSES LCD DISPLAY TO GLITCH OUT WHEN THE HEAD LIGHT CONTROL IS TURNED ALL THE WAY UP. FRIED MY LCD, REPLACEMENT $6000, NOW I NEED TO REPLACE HE TOGGLE , $375. ONLY GLITCHES ON ONE PARTICULAR SETTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT FELL ASLEEP BEHIND THE WHEEL AND CRASHED INTO A GUARDRAIL. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT WHERE THE INSURANCE COMPANY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 73,000. *DT *TR*JB

I HAD A RECALL ON PASSENGER AIRBAG AND HAD IT REPAIRED AT DEALERSHIP. SINCE THE REPAIR, MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND THEY SAY I NEED A CLOCKSPRING REPLACED. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN UNTIL THEY REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. NOW THEY ARE SAYING I WILL HAVE TO PAY OVER $800 TO REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING. I ONLY HAVE 62,000 MILES ON THE JEEP AND IT SHOULDN'T NEED THIS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT SOMETHING HAPPENED WHEN WHEN THEY DID THE RECALL REPAIR.
