2014 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

40000 MILES AND THE REAR MAIN SEAL IS ALREADY LEAKING BAD. HAPPENED WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT IN 2016 AND THE DEALER SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG OR LEAKING AS I WAS LOOSING OIL.. NOW IT'S LEAKING TERRIBLY BAD AND THEY WON'T COVER IT.

THE OIL FILTER HOUSING AND OIL COOLER IS LEAKING CAUSING OIL TO POOL ON TOP OF ENGINE. THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE DUE TO OIL RUNNING DOWN THE ENGINE AND GETTING ON THE EXHAUST.

TAKATA INFLATER. THE PROBLEM ISN'T THE RECALL. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX IT IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE PARTS THAT CHRYSLER (FIAT) IS RATIONING THEM. WHY IS MY SAFETY IN JEOPARDY BECAUSE JEEP WON'T APPROVE PARTS?

REGARDING COMPLAINT NUMBER: 11175198. THE INFORMATION PROVIDED TO YOU IN MY COMPLAINT WAS SENT TO JEEP US CUSTOMER CARE, FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOTIVE GROUP (FCA) FIRST, AND THEY FWD IT TO THE JEEP CHRYSLER REGIONAL MANAGER FOR APPROVAL TO OPEN A "STAR" CASE SO ENGINEERING TECHNICIANS AT FCA COULD LOOK AT THE PROBLEM ON THE JEEP AS IDENTIFIED TO YOU. THE REGIONAL MAINTENANCE MANAGER --REFUSED TO OPEN THE "STAR" CASE --FEARING THAT THE IDENTIFIED ELECTRICAL & ENGINE PROBLEM COULD CAUSE A RECALL AND SAFETY RECALL. ON 2-18-2019 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM US CUSTOMER CARE AT FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOTIVE, AND TOLD THAT BECAUSE OF THE AREA MANAGEMENT REFUSAL TO OPEN A "STAR" MY CASE WITH THEM HAS BEEN CLOSED.

FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELT SPOOL MALFUNCTIONS AND DOES NOT RETRACT SEAT BELT, LEAVING TOO MUCH SLACK TO RESTRAIN DRIVER OR PASSENGER IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. DEALER CHARGES $533.10 FOR PARTS AND LABOR FOR SEAT BELT REPLACEMENT. SEAT BELT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR BY RECALL (THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS). LIKE AN AIRBAG, THIS SHOULD BE COVERED.

I REPORTED TO MY DEALER APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE IN 2014 THAT AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE IN MOTION ALL SAFETY LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE, THE RADIO WOULD GO OFF AND THERE WOULD BE A DING NOISE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I EVEN TOOK IT IN ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SINCE IT HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION. THEY HAVE TEST DROVE IT BUT NEVER COULD GET IT TO DO WHAT I DESCRIBED. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS IN DECEMBER 2018. IT JUST HAPPENS RANDOMLY, BUT IS VERY SCARY AND SEEMS DANGEROUS SINCE ALL THE SAFETY LIGHTS ILLUMINATE, RPM GAUGE DROPS ETC PUTTING IT IN NEUTRAL AND BACK TO DRIVE IT SEEMS TO CORRECT ITSELF, BUT IT IS STILL VERY CONCERNING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V018000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP AND RAM OF INVERNESS (2077 FL-44, INVERNESS, FL 34453, (352) 341-7398) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

LEAKING OIL DUE TO OIL COOLER FAILURE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THE 3.6L PENSTAR ENGINES AND CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP DOES NOTHING TO REPAIR IT. I HAVE LOOKED UP PLENTY OF THREADS AND VIDEOS ON THIS AND THIS IS NOT A EASY OR CHEAP REPAIR. THE RESULT IS OIL LEAKING FROM THE BACK OF THE OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND DOWN THE BACK OF THE ENGINE AND TO THE GROUND.

WHILE DRIVING MODERATE SPEED ON A RURAL RD (EST MILES 115K), ALL RED & YELLOW LIGHTS CAME ON, "NO BUS" LIGHT CAME ON WHICH IS NOT LISTED IN THE OPS MANUAL, WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON, RPM GAUGE WENT TO ZERO, FUEL GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY, ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING AND ENGINE RUNNING ROUGH TO POSSIBLE STALL. WITHIN A PERIOD OF TIME 10 MIN OR SO EVERYTHING CAME BACK TO NORMAL AND JEEP RAN OK. THIS HAS HAPPEN TO MY WIFE WHO IS A RURAL MAIL CARRIER ON MANY OCCASIONS. IN FACT IN 1 WEEK IT HAPPENED EVERY DAY AND IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES OVER A LONG PERIOD. JEEP SERVICE FOLKS DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AS THE CODES DO NOT PIN POINT THE PROBLEM. THEY "THINK" POSSIBILITY IT COULD BE PWR FUSE BOX, MAIN COMPUTER OR FWD INSTRUMENT PANEL EA AT A COST OF OVER $1000 TO REPLACE. SERVICE FOLKS WANT T JEEP BROUGHT TO THEM WITH LIGHTS ON, GAUGES ZERO, ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING BUT IT'S AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND THEY ARE 30 MILES OR MORE AWAY DEPENDING WHERE THE PROBLEM HAPPENS. SERVICE FOLKS HAVE HAD THE JEEP FOR A TOTAL OF 3 DAYS IN JAN & FEB AND DROVE IT OVER 150 MILE AND THE PROBLEM NEVER APPEARED. IN FEB 2015 WHILE DRIVING (24,171 MILES) THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME "ON" AND JEEP STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IT WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN SO JEEP WAS THEN TAKEN TO DEALER AND THEY FOUND THAT A FAULT CODE SAID "WIRING DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH SLACK BETWEEN SENSOR & WIRING CAUSING POOR CONNECTION". REPLACED CAM SENSOR & WIRING. FAULT CLEARED. HAVE PHOTOS OF DASH WITH "ALL LIGHTS AND GAUGES SHOWING ZERO AND NO BUS LIGHT ON AND WIPERS GOING BACK AND FORTH. I'LL SEND IF YOU NEED THEM BUT IT ALL LIGHTS AND GAUGES WHICH ARE DEPICTED IN THE OPS MANUAL. THIS POSSIBLE ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING AND POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL FIRE IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED OVER MANY MONTHS THROUGHOUT 2018.
