2014 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

OIL FILTER ADAPTER, OIL COOLER, NOT SURE ON CORRECT TERMINOLOGY. PART NUMBER 68105583AA TO BE SPECIFIC. JUST GOT NORMAL MAINTENANCE AND MULTI POINT INSPECTION DONE AND 2 DAYS, 128 MILES LATER SMOKE STARTED GUSHING OUT FROM UNDER MY VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING TO GET LUNCH, GOT OUT AND SURE ENOUGH OIL WAS PROFUSELY LEAKING OUT OF THE BOTTOM. DROVE HOME IMMEDIATELY AND PARKED IT. HAD TO WAIT UNTIL MONDAY TO TRY AND DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. STARTED HER UP AND WITHIN 5 MINUTES HAD A PUDDLE THE SIZE OF A TIRE UNDERNEATH OF OIL. MANAGED TO GET HER TO THE DEALERSHIP WITHOUT ISSUE, BUT MY SYSTEM WAS TELLING ME I HAD 0% PILLS LIKE REMAINING. OIL HAD BEEN LEAKING OUT FROM ON TOP OF THE ENGINE WORRYING ME OF A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD BUT I MANAGED TO GET IT TO THE SHOP. APPARENTLY THIS PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THIS IS A WIDELY KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2014 MODELS SPECIFICALLY ALL CHRYSLER MADE VEHICLES WITH THIS ENGINE. $500 FIX IS NOT FUN WHEN IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE BY THE COMPANY WHO ON 2015 MODELS FIXED IT AND NEVER ADDRESSED OR WARNED 2014 MODEL OWNERS. *TR

ON 12/04/2016 I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT AROUND 80MPH WHEN A LOAD EXPLOSION STOPPED MY ENGINE. I IMMEDIATE STOPPED AS SMOKE STARTED TO COME INSIDE THE CABIN. AS SOON AS I EXITED THE VEHICLE I NOTICED A BIG FIRE UNDER THE CAR AND INSURE THE HOOD. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT USING 3 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS. THIS REALLY COULD'VE ESCALATED QUICKLY. I NOTICED A BIG HOLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE. LOOKS LIKE IT THREW A ROD SINCE THE OIL PRESSURE WAS LOW. PROBABLY DUE TO FAULTY OIL FILTER MOUNT. THE EXACT REASON FOR THE ENGINE FAILURE AND SUBSEQUENT FIRE HASN'T BEEN DETERMINED YET AS THE DEALER WILL OT LOOK AT IT UNTIL CHRYSLER SENDS AN INVESTIGATOR TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. CHRYSLER WILL NOT SEND AN INVESTIGATOR AND IS ASKING FOR THE DEALER TO LOOK AT IT. IT'S BEEN OVER 10 DAYS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. SO FAR, NEITHER PARTY HAS TAKEN THE ISSUE SERIOUSLY. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

I'VE NOTICED FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS LIKE LEAKAGE ON THE GROUND BUT HAVE YET TO PINPOINT THE EXACT LOCATION. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND ASKED IF THEY HAVE HAD ANY ISSUES WITH LEAKS AND DANCED AROUND THE QUESTION AND SAID I WOULD NEED TO LEAVE IT FOR A MECHANIC TO LOOK AT IT, I ASKED IF MY WARRANTY WAS STILL VALID AND THE HAD RAN MY VIN AND SAID IT WAS EXPIRED......WHICH IS PUZZLING CAUSE I HAVE AROUND 30K MILES ON IT. SO I STILL HAVE A MYSTERY LEAK AND READING UP ON DIFFERENT FORUMS SEEMS TO BE ON ONGOING ISSUES WITH COOLING OIL LINES OR OIL FILTER ADAPTER, OIL COOLER. *TR

3,6 OIL FILTER ADAPTER LEAKING. HAVE 38,000 ON VEHICLE, GOT OIL CHANGED ON MONDAY EVENING AND WEDNESDAY MORNING NOTICED A BURNED OIL SMELL AND A CLOUD OF SMOKE OFF MOTOR AFTER SHORT DRIVE TO WORK. HAVE OIL SLICK UNDERNEATH VEHICLE WHEN CAME OUT THAT AFTERNOON. WENT DIRECTLY BACK TO DEALERSHIP, AND THEY ADVISED THAT THEY HAD DONE NOTHING WRONG , BUT WAS A BAD OIL FILTER ADAPTER. I SEE A LOT OF THEM APPEAR TO FAIL, BUT THE TIMING IS SUSPECT. HAS THE REPLACEMENT PART BEEN UPGRADED TO PREVENT FUTURE FAILURES?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED TOO EASILY WHEN STRUCK BY OBJECTS WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WINDSHIELD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THE ADHESIVE LAYER BETWEEN THE TWO LAYERS OF GLASS ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD HAS NUMEROUS CRYSTALS THAT REFRACT THE LIGHT. THIS IS INTERFERING WITH VISIBILITY DURING LOW LIGHT SITUATIONS, ILLUMINATION BY HEADLIGHTS, OR WITH LOW ANGLE LIGHT FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES INCLUDING SUNRISE AND SUNSET.

FOR MONTHS I SMELLED ANTIFREEZE FROM THE FRONT OF THE JEEP BUT THERE WERE NO LEAKS . AFTER A MONTH I FOUND DRIED ANTIFREEZE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE RADIATOR PASSENGER SIDE . THE JEEP WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS REPAIRED BY DEALER . MY FRIEND ALSO WITH A NEW 2014 WRANGLER ALSO HAD SAME PROBLEM . THANK YOU JOEY

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHUTTER THEN LOCKED UP CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO VIOLENTLY SWERVE TO THE RIGHT. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO WRAP AROUND A LIGHT POLE. BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. ...UPDATED 04/11/17 *BF SEE PICTURES ATTACHED *TR UPDATED 08/11/2017*JS

I HAVE A WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED 2014. AROUND 48,000 MILES I SMELLED BURNING OIL AN NOTICED OIL LEAKING UNDER THE CARRIAGE WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE OIL COOLER WAS LEAKING. THE ENGINE WAS FILLED WITH OIL. THEY REPLACED THE OIL COOLER AND ADAPTER. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. I HOPE JEEP REPLACED THE DAMAGED PART WITHONE THAT WILL PREVENT THE PROBLEM FROM REOCCURRING.

BURNING SMELL FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, TOOK IT IN AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE MY OIL COOLER. ENGINE WAS FILLED WITH OIL AND IT WAS A MAJOR LEAK FROM THE BACK. PART #68105583-AE WAS PUT IN IT'S PLACE AND I HAVE A SNEAKING SUSPICION IT WAS PART #68105583-AA THAT WAS BROKEN SINCE IT WAS MADE OUT OF PLASTIC! MY JEEP HAS 32K MILES, AND IS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THIS IS TOO MUCH! RECALL PLEASE!
