ENGINE
NOTICED OIL ON THE GARAGE FLOOR IN JANUARY 2020. ENGINE IS LEAKING OIL FROM THE OIL COOLER THAT IS ON TOP ON THE ENGINE. COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD AS OIL DRAINS DOWN THE BACK OF THE ENGINE. VEHICLE HAS 86000 MILES ON IT BUT HAS BEEN LEAKING FOR A WHILE. NOW IT IS LEAKING VERY BAD AND CAN SMELL BURNT OIL WHEN DRIVING. LOOKING ON FORUMS ONLINE AND MANY 2014 TO 2016 3.6 ENGINES HAVE THIS ISSUE. ISSUE SEAMS TO BE FROM FAULTY GASKETS AND IN SOME CASES CRACKED HOUSINGS ON THE OIL COOLER. MINE IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. I THOUGHT IT WAS FROM THE OIL PAN GASKET AT FIRST, BUT WHEN I STARTED TO SMELL OIL BURNING, I STARTED LOOKING CLOSER AT IT AND FOUND OIL LAYING IN THE VALLEY ON TOP OF THE ENGINE.

THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON A REAR MAIN SEAL LEAK. MY VEHICLE IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO 150K MILES ITS BARELY AT 90K AND ALREADY HAVING A LEAK ISSUE. I WAS READING ONLINE THAT CERTAIN JEEPS RIGHT AT 16K WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS COSTLY AND IT IS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE THAT MY VEHICLE GOES FROM BEING GOOD TO DRIVE TO HEY NOW YOU HAVE A REAR MAIN SEAL LEAK AND IT WILL COST YOU AROUND 850 PLUS DOLLARS. IT LEAKED OIL IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY SOMEONE TO CLEAR THAT UP.

ENGINE
JEEP STARTED LEAKING OIL AT 57000 MILES OIL LEAK WAS DUE TO A KNOWN PART FAILURE THE OIL HOUSING WHICH IS PLASTIC AND CAN EASILY CRACK. VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN SERVICED AT DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS BOUGHT. OIL HOUSING LOCATED UNDER MANIFOLD, OIL LEAK CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE WHEN IT SPLATTERS ON MANIFOLD. JEEP KNOWS THIS PART CAN FAIL AT ANY TIME.

ENGINE
OIL COOLER FAILED AND CAUSED COMPLETE DISSPURSMENT OF OIL WHILE DRIVING. OIL LEAKED ALL OVER THE UNDERSIDE AND REAR OF VEHICLE. THIS COULD CASUE AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE IN THE ENGINE BAY. REPLACED IN OCTOBER 2019. WORKED TILL FEB 2020 NOW IT IS LOEAKING AND THE RESERVOIR FOR OIL COOLER IS SHOWING POOLING... AGAIN. THIS PART IS MADE OF CHEAP NON HEAT MANAGABLE MATERIALS. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THIS REPLACEMENT IS NOT CHEAP OR AN EASY TASK.

SAME AS ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE'S COMPLAINTS AND I'M VERY SHOCKED THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR AN ISSUE THAT IS SUCH AN ON GOING PROBLEM, MY OIL COOLER IS LEAKING ONCE AGAIN ON MY 2014 JEEP WRANGLER JK AND I'VE ALREADY SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND NOW GOING THROUGH THIS ONCE AGAIN IT IS STRAIGHT BULL CRAP. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND CAME TO A STOP LIGHT AND NOTICED A TON OF WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH MY HOOD AND I THOUGH NO WAY NOT AGAIN BUT TO MY SURPRISE I WAS RIGHT OIL WAS SITTING IN THE VALLEY RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE BLACK OIL RESERVOIR. THE DATE BELOW IS WHEN I NOTICES IT FOR THE 2ND TIME...1/15/2020

ENGINE
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT DECODES TO A CYLINDER MISFIRE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE CYLINDER HAD LOW COMPRESSION. IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME WELL OVER $2000 TO FIX IT. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE ENGINES, SO MUCH SO THAT CHRYSLER ISSUED A TSB ON IT, HOWEVER THE TSB ONLY COVERS UP TO 2013 AND MINE IS A 2014. APPARENTLY THEY THOUGHT THEY FIXED IT, BUT PERHAPS THEY DIDN'T GET IT QUITE RIGHT, OR DIDN'T COVER ENOUGH YEARS. SEE CHRYSLER JEEP TSB 09-002-14 FOR REFERENCE. PLEASE NOTE WHILE THIS ISSUE DID NOT CAUSE AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY CONCERN, MY RESEARCH INDICATES THAT NOT FIXING IT PROMPTLY WILL CAUSE UN-BURNT FUEL TO PASS THROUGH THE ENGINE WHICH IS LIKELY TO CAUSE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE. DUE TO THE EXTREME EXPENSE TO FIX THIS KNOWN ISSUE, PEOPLE WILL BE UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED RIGHT AWAY, AND THAT IN TURN COULD LEAD TO VARIOUS SAFETY RISKS, NOT TO MENTION POLLUTION CONTROLS ISSUES.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING I OBSERVED SMOKE WAS COMING OUT FROM MY VEHICLE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WITH THE ODOR OF BURNING OIL. I WAS JUST AROUND THE CORNER FROM MY HOUSE SO AS I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY I LOOKED UNDER MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED OIL DRIPPING FROM UNDER THE ENGINE ON TO THE EXHAUST PIPE. I AM AWARE THAT 2014 JEEP WRANGLERS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL FILTER HOUSING CRACKING OVER TIME. I OPENED MY HOOD AND LOOKED AT THE OIL FILTER HOUSING AND THERE WAS OIL ALL OVER THE TOP OF THE MOTOR. I WENT TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS YEAR WRANGLER HAS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS AND THAT THERE IS NO RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A SAFETY ISSUE LIKE THIS THAT MOPAR HAS NOT BEEN CALLED ON THE CARPET FOR A FIRE HAZARD LIKE THIS AND THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THIS PART. I WAS TOLD THE REPAIR WOULD BE ROUGHLY $600. COULD YOU HELP ME RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AND WHAT APPROPRIATE ACTION I CAN TAKE. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 35,000 MILES ON IT. NOT TO MENTION MY DRIVEWAY IS A MESS :(

OIL COOLER HAD A MAJOR LEAK OIL ON TOP OF ENGINE WAS EASILY A QUART. REST OF THE OIL HAD TRAVELED DOWN THE TRANSMISSION AND COVERED ALMOST THE ENTIRETY OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND EXHAUST. I NOTICED THE LEAK BY A STRONG SMOKEY OIL ODOR AS THE OIL HIT THE EXHAUST. THE OIL COOLER WAS REPLACED AND MUST HAVE ALSO CAUSED A LEAK IN THE COOLANT BECAUSE THE RESERVOIR WAS NEAR EMPTY. WAITING TO SEE IF THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE COOLANT LEAK.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
MY STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS ARE NO LONGER WORKING. THIS INCLUDES THE HORN, CHANNEL AND VOLUME CONTROL. THEY WILL WORK WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED 45DEG FROM TOP DEAD CENTER. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS ISSUE IS CAUSED BY THE "CLOCK" SPRING ASSEMBLY BEHIND THE AIR BAG. JEEP CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL OUT FOR RHD WRANGLERS AND THEIR CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY. I BELIEVE THERE ARE ALSO ISSUES WITH THE LHD (LEFT HAND DRIVE) MODELS AS WELL. I AM TAKING THIS TO THE DEALER IN THE MORNING. NOTE THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR NOT.
