2014 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

MY COOLANT STARTED LEAKING AND MY THREE YEAR OLD JEEP NEEDED A NEW RADIATOR. THE GARBAGE LIMITED WARRANTY FROM CHRYSLER PRODUCTS OF COURSE WOULD NOT COVER.

JEEP WRANGLER STEERING COLUMN ELECTRICAL ISSUES, POSSIBLY RELATED TO TIPM ISSUES WITH OTHER JEEP/CHRYLSER/DODGE VEHICLES. ISSUE OCCURRED WHEN STARTING VEHICLE IN PARKING LOT AT NIGHT. JEEP LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN ON EVEN THOUGH LIGHTS WERE IN THE ON POSITION FROM THE STEERING COLUMN LEFT STEM FOR LIGHTS. REPEATED ON/OFF ATTEMPTS, INCLUDING VEHICLE RESTARTS, DID NOT FIX NO LIGHTS ISSUE. WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ROTATED THE LIGHTS SUDDENLY TURNED ON. OTHER RELATED ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT WINDSHIELD WIPER CYCLE WHEN WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION ON THE RIGHT STEM OF THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN.

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT ON THE 23RD OF MAY, A FRONT END COLLISION AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, THE SHOULDER/SEAT BELT KEPT ME FROM MAJOR INJURY.

ARRIVED HOME IN VEHICLE AND HAD A STRONG ODOR OF BURNING OIL. IMMEDIATELY SAW A PUDDLE OF OIL UNDER THE VEHICLE AND OIL ON THE EXHAUST WAS SMOKING. THE OIL FILTER/COOLER HOUSING HAD BEGUN LEAKING. THIS VEHICLE HAS 44,000 MILES ON IT AND NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PART FAILURE AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT. THE AMOUNT OF OIL IT LOST IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME WAS ENOUGH TO CAUSE A FIRE. THERE WAS OVER 1/2 INCH OF OIL IN THE VALLEY BETWEEN THE HEADS AND OIL HAD BLOWN FROM THE MOTOR TO THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THIS PART IS CONVENIENTLY NOT COVERED UNDER THE 5 YR 100,000 MILE ENGINE WARRANTY AND THE DEALER SAID THE PART HAS NOT BEEN UPGRADED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY LOOSE AND SPUN EXCESSIVELY AS THE VEHICLE FAILED TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A BOLT FELL OUT OF THE STEERING SHAFT. THE CONTACT DID NOT KNOW THE SPECIFIC BOLT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT NO FURTHER ACTION WAS NEEDED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,500.

ON THE 2014 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE JK JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 2014 , THIS WEEK THE ETC (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL) AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TURN ON AND I LOST ENGINE POWER, IT JUST RAN IDLE. IT CAN NOT GO MORE THAN 2000 RPM. I TURN IT OFF AND ON AND IT WAS EVERYTHING OK. ALSO THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LIGHT IS STILL ON ALL THE TIME. THE TIRE PRESSURE STILL IN 35 PSI.

MY 2014 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED IS CURRENTLY BEING SERVICED FOR A CRACKED OIL COOLER. THE OIL LEAK WAS FIRST NOTICED WHILE PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A CRACKED OIL COOLER. I WAS ALSO TOLD I WAS LUCKY THERE WAS NO FIRE CAUSED AS THERE WAS SO MUCH OIL. I WAS TOLD IT SHOULD STILL BE UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE IS GETTING ITS NORMAL SERVICES NOW AND WILL BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE FOR THE 2014 JEEP WRANGLER.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTED PUMPING LIKE THE ABS SYSTEM KICKED IN. THE BRAKES WORKED AS EXPECTED MINUTES LATER (AFTER REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME).

NETS REFERENCE: #, CHRYSLER RECALL, PAW, TAPING SYSTEM. MY JEEP IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE PAW RECALL REFERS TO, THE PROBLEM IS THAT MY VINE. # IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL, WHEN IN FACT IT SHOULD BE. THE TAPING LIGHT CAME ON WHEN ONE TIRE DROPPED TO 33 BECAUSE THE THRESHOLD WAS PROGRAMMED INCORRECTLY AT THE FACTORY. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SET LOWER, PROBABLY AROUND 30 ? I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORP. ABOUT THIS, BUT THEY WERE OF NO HELP. IS THERE ANY WAY THAT THE RANGE OF VINE. NUMBERS OF AFFECTED JEEPS COULD BE RE-EVALUATED, AS THIS IS CLEARLY AFFECTING MY JEEP?
