2014 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

THE OIL FILTER/COOLER HOUSING HAS CRACKED AND IS LEAKING OIL WITH LESS THAN 45,000

AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES WHILE ON A HIGHWAY MY JEEP SUDDENLY SMELLED LIKE IT WAS BURNING AND I LOST ACCELERATION ON IT. TOOK IT TO MY LIFE TIME MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS OIL SLUDGE EVERYWHERE ON THE ENGINE. HE CHANGED THE OIL OUT, CLEANED OUT THE ENGINE BUT DIDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES WITH THE OIL TANK OR HOSES. A YEAR LATER, NOW AT 40,000 MILES, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SUDDENLY COMES ON. MECHANIC READS A "MISFIRE" ERROR. HE CHANGES OUT ALL MY SPARK PLUGS, THE IGNITION COIL AND THE PLENUM GASKET. CLEANS OUT THE FUEL INJECTORS AND THE CAR IS HUMMING BEAUTIFULLY AGAIN. BUT 5 DAYS LATER, AGAIN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. MECHANIC CHECKS EVERYTHING HE DID AND CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. HE RESEARCHED AND THINKS IT COULD BE THE EXHAUST VALVE SEATS BEING WORN OUT. RECOMMENDS I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. LOW AND BEHOLD, THEY DISCOVER THAT A CYLINDER HEAD NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED! APPARENTLY AN ISSUE THEY KEEP ENCOUNTERING FREQUENTLY IN THIS MODEL. I'VE SEEN IT POSTED ON A BUNCH OF THREADS REGARDING JEEPS. THANK GOODNESS I WAS 4 DAYS AWAY FROM MY 5 YEAR WARRANTY TO EXPIRE WHEN THIS HAPPENED!!!! I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL THE 2014 JEEPS TO MAKE SURE THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED ONCE AND FOR ALL. MY VIN DID NOT SHOW A RECALL PER YOUR SYSTEM, BUT ALL 2014 JEEPS SHOULD BE CHECKED SINCE IT'S OCCURRING SO FREQUENTLY, AND PEOPLE WILL BE OUT OF THEIR WARRANTY SOON WITH THAT YEAR'S MODEL.

P0520 - ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT. TSB- 18-034-14 REV.A ISSUED: 07/15/147 THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE SENSOR FOR YEARS, MULTIPLE FORUMS WITH COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE IN NOT ONLY JEEP, BUT MANY CHRYSLER 3.6 LITER ENGINES. THE ADDITIONAL TROUBLE WITH JEEP IS IT IS NOT AN EASY FIX THE WHOLE MANIFOLD HAS TO BE REMOVED TO BE ABLE TO SWITCH OUT THE PART. IT IS A 4 HOUR LABOR CHARGE JUST TO REPLACE, AS WELL AS, MANY HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND HAD PROBLEM RECUR.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR ABOUT A FEW SECONDS UP TO MINUTES WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND/OR TURNING AND/OR OVER BUMPS.

I HAVE AN ENGINE FAILURE CODE 520 FOR THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH OR HARNESS WITH ONLY 8315 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. I FOUND A JEEP FORUM THAT DESCRIBED THIS PROBLEM IN DETAIL AND STATED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE 2012 WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT WAS ALSO STATED THAT TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND FUEL INJECTOR RAIL WOULD NEED TO BE REMOVED. THAT IS A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED THAN WHAT I AM WILLING TO TRY. THIS SHOULD BE HANDLED UNDER A RECALL OR AT LEAST AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR CONSUMER PROTECTION.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER DRIVING LESS THAN 5MI. I STOPPED AND CONSULTED THE MANUAL. I DECIDED TO PROCEED HOME AFTER READING IT IS ONLY URGENT IF LIGHT IS FLASHING. I CHECKED MY OBD AND IT READ THE CODE P06DD WHICH INDICATED A PROBLEM WITH OIL PUMP. MY LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. DEALERSHIP REPLACED A SWITCH. SHORTLY AFTER MY LIGHT CAME BACK ON READING THE SAME CODE. ADDITIONALLY, I SMELLED BURNING OIL AND CAR WENT TO LIMP MODE WHEN AT 3000 RPMS. DEALERSHIP REPLACED OIL PUMP FINALLY. SHORTLY AFTER, THE CAR BEGAN LEAKING A LOT OF OIL. DEALERSHIP REPLACED OIL COOLER/HOUSING. DUE TO THE CONSTANT PROBLEMS AND MISDIAGNOSIS I CONSULTED SEVERAL OTHER DEALERSHIPS AND FOUND OUT THAT THEY FREQUENTLY SEE MY VEHICLE TYPE TO REPLACE COOLER. APPARENTLY, IT IS DUE TO CHANGES MADE ON THE 3.6 ENGINES INCLUDING A PLASTIC PIECE THAT WAS FORMALLY METAL. THE DEALERSHIP I HAD DO THE REPAIRS, CLAIM THAT THE SWITCH WAS THE PROBLEM AND EVERYTHING ELSE WAS COINCIDENTAL DESPITE ME HAVING THE CODE FOR OIL PUMP FROM DAY 1. AT APPROX 45000MI IT IS UNCOMMON FOR OIL SYSTEM FAILURES HOWEVER IT SEEMS TO BE COMMON FOR THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR AT SIMILAR MILAGES. SEARCH FORUMS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE IN MOTION. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND WITH 3 HOURS OF CHECKING UNABLE TO VERIFY THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN WITH OUT A VEHICLE FOR A DAY AND A HALF. I DO HAVE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP. IS THIS A MANUFACTURED ISSUE

MY HORN DOESN'T WORK. MY TURNING SIGNALS INTERMITTENTLY WORKING, MY WINDOWS WOULDN'T WORK, THE LIGHTER WASN'T WORKING, BUT NOW IS. DRIVING DOWN ROAD. CHANGED FUSES, CHANGED LIGHT BULBS. SAME RESULD.

PARKED VEHICLE ON A SLOPE IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND WAS IN PARK. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING ALL PASSENGERS EXITING THE VEHICLE, IT SLOWLY STARTED ROLLING AWAY, BACKWARDS. IT TRAVELED DOWN A 4WD ROAD A SMALL DISTANCE BEFORE TURNING OFF AND TUMBLING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN. LUCKILY EVERYONE HAD EXITED THE VEHICLE AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THOUGH WE WERE PARKED ON A SLOPE, PROBABLY AROUND 15 DEGREES, THERE WAS COMPLETE FAILURE OF BOTH THE PARK GEAR AND THE PARKING BRAKE ALLOWING A ROLLAWAY. THE PARKING SURFACES WAS A COMBINATION SOLID ROCK AND DIRT.

2014 JEEP RUBICON. VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. LESS THAT 19,000 MILES. 7/10/18, JEEP RAN FINE IN MORNING AND AFTERNOON. TRIED TO START AFTER WORK (4:15 PM) AND WOULD NOT TURN OVER. JUMP START BATTERY AND DROVE TO DEALERSHIP. NOTHING ON DASH WAS WORKING WHILE DRIVING. SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE BOUNCING. WHILE DRIVING ALL LIGHTS WERE ON AND FLICKERING. EVEN HEADLIGHTS. VEHICLE FELT AS THOUGH IT WAS SURGING. WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR FOR THE 2014 JEEP BUT NOT THE WRANGLERS. AGAIN, LESS THAT 19,000 MILES. DIAGNOSTIC RESULT WAS ALTERNATOR WENT BAD AND BURNED UP BATTERY. BOTH BEING REPLACED AT PERFORMANCE DEALERSHIP IN LAVISTA, NE 68128. I CANT UNDERSTAND HOW AN ALTERNATOR GOES BAD ON A JEEP WITH LESS THAN 19,000 MILE. THE JEEP IS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY AND WE ARE COVERING ALL COST. SHOULD WRANGLERS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE 2014 ALTERNATOR RECALL?
