LEAKING OIL FILTER HOUSING. IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SO WIDESPREAD ACROSS JEEPS THAT THERE'S A NATIONAL SHORTAGE OF THE PART. I CAN'T EVEN GET IT FIXED. OIL AND COOLANT ARE LEAKING EVERYWHERE. IT'S A DANGER TO MY FAMILY AND THE ENVIRONMENT.

ENGINE
OIL COOLER HOUSING IS MADE WITH 2 TYPES OF MATERIAL THAT DOESN'T HAVE EQUAL CONTROL OF OIL EXPANSION WHEN IT IS HOT, THEREFORE HAVING TO REPLACE A OIL COOLER HOUSING BECAUSE OF THE PLASTIC PART OF IT CRACKED RESULTING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE KIT. I HAD TO REPLACE IT 3 TIMES, BUT ONLY PAID ONCE OF THE REPLACEMENT COST. THE OTHER 2 WERE UNDER WARRANTY. I'VE RESEARCHED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH JEEP PART, PARTICULARLY WITH THE OIL COOLER HOUSING KIT. METAL AND PLASTIC SHOULD NOT BE A COMPLETE KIT TO CONTROL THE OIL FLOW. HEAT REACTIONS ARE NOT THE SAME.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
RIGHT REAR TAIL LIGHT NOT WORKING PROPERLY. ORIGINALLY IT WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY (WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THIS ISSUE) BUT NOW ITS NOT WORKING AT ALL(NO TAIL LIGHT, NO BLINKER). BULB IS GOOD(HAS BEEN CHANGED), FUSE IS GOOD ETC. I BELIEVE THERE MAY BE A GROUNDING OR WIRING HARNESS ISSUE BASED OFF THE DIAGNOSTICS I HAVE DONE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN TRYING TO TROUBLE SHOOT THIS ISSUE.

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE CHRYSLER RECALL THE 3.6L V6 FOR THEIR OIL FILTER COOLER BASE BREAKING. I'M LUCKY MY VEHICLE DIDN'T CATCH FIRE WITH ALL THE HOT OIL RUNNING DOWN OVER THE ENGINE. THOUSANDS OF THESE MOTORS ARE IN THEIR PRODUCTS. AND ALL COST $1355 TO REPAIR. MINE WAS ONLY SERVICED AT THE DEALER, NO ONE ELSE. IT IS A WELL KNOWN DEFECT AND CHRYSLER IS STILL STICKING IT TO CUSTOMERS FOR REPAIRS. SURPRISED NO ONE HAS DIED IN A CAR FIRE.

MAJOR OIL LEAK. TOOK TO MECHANIC. OIL COOLER NEEDS REPLACING. CHECKED ON JEEP FORUM, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. MECHANIC WENT TO ORDER PART 3-4 MONTHS FOR A REPLACEMENT. JEEP HAS A BACK ORDER PROBLEM. WAS TOLD NOT TO DRIVE AS IT COULD OVERHEAT AND CAUSE A FIRE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT JEEP IS IGNORING.

MY 2014 WRANGLER HAS THE DREADED OIL FILTER HOUSING / OIL COOLER LEAK. WHILE DRIVING I SMELLED BURNING OIL. THE NEXT MORNING I FOUND OIL ON MY GARAGE FLOOR AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. $875 TO REPLACE THE PART. IN RESEARCHING THE ISSUE ON LINE, I DISCOVERED THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE AS THE MANUFACTURER CHOSE TO MAKE THE PART OUT OF PLASTIC.

I NOTICED OIL LEAKING FROM MY JEEP, FOUND SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OIL UNDER JEEP. IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT TO MY MECHANIC FOR REVIEW. THEY INDICATED THAT THE OIL COOLER WAS LEAKING A GOOD AMOUNT OF OIL AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE OVER 50,000 OIL COOLERS ON A 2 MONTH BACKORDER! MY MECHANIC SAID IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR ALL 2014 V6 ENGINES. JEEP FORUM ADDITIONALLY HAS THOUSANDS OF COMMENTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE.

OIL FILTER COOLER ADAPTER FAILED AT 55K MILES. JEEP LEAKED QUART OF OIL ON GROUND AND ANOTHER QUART IN INTAKE. IF JEEP WAS RUN ANOTHER 30 MIN THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE DESTROYED ITSELF DUE TO LACK OF OIL. COULD HAVE ASLO CAUSED FIRE IF OIL GOT ON HOT EXAHUST. VERY COMMON PROBLEM W PENSTAR 3.6. NO PARTS AVAILABLE IN USA AS OF 03-01-2021 MFR. REFUSES TO WARRANTY. CLAIMS OIL FILTER WAS TOO TIGHT, WHICH WAS NOT.
