2014 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

AROUND 14K MILES MY 2014 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON (3.6L) BEGAN LEAKING OIL. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE SHOP 4 DIFFERENT TIMES AND NO ISSUE WITH THE FILTER OR DRAIN PLUG CAN BE FOUND. IT NOW LEAKS OIL PROFUSELY (15K) AND CONSTANTLY HAS A BURNING SMELL AFTER DRIVEN FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. MY SERVICE CENTER HAS NOTED THAT MY ENGINE HAS AN "OIL FILTER ADAPTER" WHICH APPEARS TO BE NEW FOR THIS MODEL YEAR AND THE LEAK APPEARS TO BE EMANATING FROM THAT AREA. AFTER READING VARIOUS ARTICLES ON DIFFERENT FORUMS, IT APPEARS THAT THE PART # IN QUESTION IS 68105583AA AND APPLIES ONLY TO 2014 3.6L CHRYSLER V6 ENGINES.

CLOCK SPRING WENT OUT AT ONLY 25,000 MILES CAUSING MY AIRBAG LIGHT GO ON AND STAY ON. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT APPROX 50 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE LIGHT AND ALARM CAME ON..THE LIGHT STARTED COMING ON INTERMITTANTLY AND THEN CAME ON AND STAYED ON WITH THE ALARM GOING OFF AND ON. IT ALSO CAUSE MY STEREO TO BURN OUT AND THE HORN TO STOP WORKING

AFTER ONLY 2 YEARS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING MY 2014 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED STARTED LEAKING OIL. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE OIL COOLER WAS FAILING AND LEAKING. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE "STANDARD" OIL FILTER THAT HAD BEEN INSTALLED AT MY LAST OIL CHANGE (WHICH WAS DONE AT A REPUTABLE FACILITY) WAS THICKER AND BETTER THAN THE FILTER CHRYSLER USES. THIS THICKER, BETTER FILTER APPARENTLY CAUSES OIL PRESSURE TO INCREASE IN ORDER FOR THE ENGINE TO MOVE THE OIL THRU THIS FILTER. A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE FOUND MULTIPLE OTHER ACCOUNTS OF THE SAME PART FAILING. THE REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BUT I WAS TOLD THAT IF I USE ANY OIL FILTER OTHER THAN THE ONE THEY SELL THAT IF ANOTHER FAILURE OCCURS IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED.

I HAVE THE "DEATH WOBBLE" HAPPENING ON MY JEEP FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS - BUT OVER THE LAST MONTH - IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND HAPPENS AT LEAST TWICE A DAY AND HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT IT HAS PULLED MY VEHICLE INTO THE OTHER LANE AND IS SOMETIMES UNCONTROLLABLE. IT EVENTAULLY IS GOING TO KILL ME OR SOMEONE ELSE. THE DEALERSHIP THAT I DEAL WITH IS NOT CAPABLE OF FIGURING OUT WHY THIS IS DOING IT AND SAYS ITS NORMAL - BUT IT CAN NOT BE NORMAL FOR THAT KIND OF INCIDENT TO HAPPEN ALL THE TIME LIKE THAT - AND THEY TELL ME THAT THE ONLY FIX IS GOING TO BE HOURS OF TRYING TO DIAGNOSE AND PARTS THAT COULD GET UP INTO THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS - BUT I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS JEEP AND I DON'T FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE MY EXPENSE TO HAVE TO COVER SINCE THEY KNOW IT'S BEEN HAPPENING - BUT CAN'T FIND A FIX FOR IT

CLOCK SPRING FAILURE AT 44,000 MILES, DISABLING THE AIR BAG. DEALER TELLS ME NO WARRANTY PAST 36,000 MI. ON THIS PART FAILURE EVEN THOUGH IT AFFECTS SAFETY. BUT COMPANY WILL PICK UP PRICE OF PART, IF WE PAY LABOR. KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL OF OUR 2009 FOR THIS SAME PART IN WHICH THE COMPANY PAID ALL.

OIL ADAPTOR/COOLER CRACKING CAUSING MASSIVE OIL LEAK IN 3.6L V6 ENGINES FOR 2014 MODELS. JEEP FORUMS ARE BUZZING WITH THIS ISSUE AND SOME OF THESE LEAKS HAVE RESULTED IN FIRES. I TOOK MINE IN AFTER SMELLING A VERY STRONG BURNING OIL SMELL (NOT DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE FOR ANOTHER 1,200 MILES) AND SEEING OIL ON THE FLOOR OF MY GARAGE. JEEP IS UNDRIVABLE IN THIS CONDITION AND PART HAS TO BE ORDERED DUE TO HIGH DEMAND. WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE BEING WIDESPREAD AND EVEN MENTIONED THAT A RECALL MAY BE COMING DOWN THE PIPELINE. BUT THAT DOESN'T HELP ME AND THE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS I'VE SEEN WHO HAD TO GET THIS FIXED THUS FAR.

AS STATED ON WWW.JEEPPROBLEMS.COM/TSBS/WRANGLER/2014/ A REPORT OF A MALFUNCTION ON THE OIL ENGINE PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT HAS BEEN REPORTED AS MALFUNCTIONING. SEE BELOW. DATE REPORTED: JUNE 06, 2014 NHTSA REFERENCE: #10056046 TSB REFERENCE: #SB-18-034-14 DESCRIPTION: ON SOME MODEL VEHICLES AND JEEPS, (MY 2013-2014)MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) ILLUMINATES AND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IS SET REGARDING ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT. IN ORDER FOR US TO CORRECT THE ISSUE WE HAVE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE INTO THE JEEP FACILITY PAY $100.00 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK TO BE COMPLETED AND AN ADDITIONAL $252.00 FOR THE CIRCUIT TO BE CORRECTED AND REPLACED. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 47,000 ON IT AND AFTER WE SPOKE WITH JEEP CORPORATE THEY SPECIFIED THAT THE ONLY WAY THEY WOULD EVEN LOOK INTO IT IS FOR US TO HAS THE SERVICE DONE AND PROVIDE THEM WITH A TICKET NUMBER. THIS IS UNDERSTANDABLE BUT THE LOCAL JEEP COMPANY LOCATED IN JACKSONVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA ONLY HAS A NEXT AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT 5 DAYS FROM NOW ON JANUARY 11, 2016. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH US DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS THIS VEHICLE IS ALSO THE VEHICLE THAT TRANSPORTS A CHILD WITH A BRAIN INJURY FROM A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. SO FROM OUR UNDERSTANDING WE CAN EITHER DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD POSSIBLY LOCK UP BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH OIL PRESSURE TO IT, OR , WE CAN WAIT 5 DAYS WITH NOT DRIVING OUR VEHICLE AND HAVE THE MALFUNCTION CORRECTED. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE FOR FREE BECAUSE TECHNICALLY IT HAS NOT BEEN PLACED ON A RECALL LIST AS OF YET. THIS IS PUTTING FAMILIES IN DANGER AND UNCALLED FOR. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY THE COMPANY ITSELF.
