I HAVE A CRACKED OIL FILTER HOUSING THAT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MODEL JEEP. THE LOCAL DEALER IS ABOUT 920 BACK ORDERED WHICH TELLS ME THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. PLEASE LOOK IN TO THIS! IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE ENGINE TO LOCK UP AND MAY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *JS

JEEP COMPLETELY DIED (LOST ALL POWER, INCLUDING ALL ELECTRICAL, BRAKE LIGHTS, PANEL LIGHTS, ETC) IN CONDO PARKING LOT. GOT OUT TO START PUSHING IT BACK TO PARKING SPOT, AND A FEW SECONDS LATER THE DOOR CHIME STARTED AND POWER WAS RESTORED. RADIO WAS BOOTING UP FROM COLD START (SHOWING GARMIN LOGO). RESTARTED CAR, IT TURNED OVER AND STARTED NORMALLY. STARTED DRIVING FORWARD AGAIN, AND IN ABOUT 20 FEET, IT COMPLETELY DIED AGAIN IN THE SAME WAY, AND CAME BACK TO LIFE ABOUT TEN SECONDS LATER. DECIDED IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART AGAIN AND REVERSE TO PARKING SPOT. JEEP WAS TOWED ON NOVEMBER 3 AND REPAIRED ON NOVEMBER 4 WHEN THE PART CAME IN. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIPM WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW VERSION THAT DIDN'T HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEMS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MALFUNCTIONED AND THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED INDEPENDENTLY. THE DEALER MADE SEVERAL REPAIRS ON THE VEHICLE, WHICH INCLUDED THE HVAC MODULE, CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON, RADIO, IGNITION SWITCH, TIPM AND CONFIGURED A MODULE. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,600.

I WAS DRIVING IN MY PARKING GARAGE AT ABOUT 12MPH AND WENT TO TAKE A SHARP RIGHT TURN. WHEN I WENT TO MAKE THE HARD RIGHT TURN, THE BRAKES SEEMED TO LOCK UP AND THE CAR DID NOT STOP. I COULD FEEL THE VIBRATIONS THROUGH MY FEET AND LUCKILY WAS STILL ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE CLEAR OF THE CEMENT WALL. *TR

FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS PULLING OUT OF A RED LIGHT AND IT SEEMED THE JEEP WOULDN'T SHIFT GEARS, THE RPMS REVVED UP AND IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT KEEPING UP WITH THE RPMS. THIS CONTINUED FOR A COUPLE SECONDS AND I PULLED TO THE BIRM OF THE ROAD AND PUT THE JEEP IN NEUTRAL. I THEN PROCEEDED TO PUT IT IN DRIVE AND PULLED OUT. I TOOK MY JEEP TO THE DEALER (JEEP IN NEWNAN GA) AND THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE COMPUTER DIDN'T DIAGNOSE ANY PROBLEM. THIS HAS SINCE HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS ON OCTOBER 3RD WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. THE PERSON BEHIND HER ALMOST WRECKED INTO HER. *TR

INCIDENT: WHILE STOPPING IN TRAFFIC WITH THE FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE MY JEEP HAD AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CAUSING A REAR IN CRASH. THIS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION HAPPEN BEFORE ON A TRIP TO TENNESSEE IN JUNE BUT WAS THOUGHT TO BE THE FLOOR MAT WHICH NOW IS KNOWN NOT TO BE THE CASE. ( BOTH WERE WITNESSED BY THE PASSENGER) THESE INCIDENTS AND COMPLAINT WERE GIVEN TO CHRYSLER REGARDING THE EXPERIENCE WITH THE VEHICLE ACCELERATING AND SURGING. HOWEVER, CHRYSLER DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING THE MALFUNCTION WHICH RESULTED IN THE ACCIDENT. BECAUSE I REALIZED THE JEEP WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER. DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS AND TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY. I REFUSE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND BOUGHT ANOTHER CAR. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY NEW VEHICLE WAS TOLD NOT TO SELL IT UNTIL THE TIMP IS REPLACED IN THE JEEP. THIS MISHAP HAS COST ME SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS WHICH SHOULD HAD BEEN PAID FOR BY CHRYSLER. *TR

OBSERVED OIL UNDER THE VEHICLE. SUSPECTED THAT THE OIL COOLER WAS LEAKING BASED UPON OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. OBSERVED A LARGE PUDDLE OF OIL IN THE VALLEY OF ENGINE AT THE OIL COOLER. ALL THIS WAS OBSERVED AFTER THE SECOND OIL CHANGE (DEALER). PARTS MANAGER AT DEALER STATED THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM ON THE 2014 MODELS WITH THE 3.2 AND 3.6 ENGINE. DEPENDING HOW LARGE THE CRACK IS ON THE COOLER THIS COULD CAUSE ALL THE OIL TO BE EVACUATED FROM THE ENGINE CAUSING A FIRE WITH THE HOT EXHAUST OR SEIZING THE ENGINE CAUSING A CRASH. THE OIL FILTER/COOLER WAS REDESIGNED FOR THE 2014 MODEL YEAR. AT THIS POINT IT SEEMS TO BE AFFECTING THE 2014 MODEL YEAR. *TR
