2014 JEEP WRANGLER PENTASTAR OIL COOLER LEAKS WHICH POURS ONTO EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND STARTS ON FIRE. HAPPENED TO ME COMING HOME FROM WORK. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY AND I PUT IT OUT WITH MY EXTINGUISHER. OIL EVERYWHERE LEAKING DOWN ENGINE AND ON THE UNDER CARRIAGE. CAUGHT IT IN TIME AND NOTHING ELSE WAS EFFECTED. GOOD THING I WASN'T ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY WHOLE FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE. FCA US LLC SHOULD FIX THIS ISSUE. VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY WHEN UNEXPECTED. PLEASE FCA US LLC FIX THIS ISSUE SO IT NO LONGER HAPPENS TO OTHER FAMILIES. CAUSE IT SURE LOOKS LIKE IT'S A PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE SHOWING CEL (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT) WITH NO PERFORMANCE ISSUES NOTED. CODE READ AND SHOWS P0520 RELATED TO THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR SWITCH. AFTER REVIEWING FORUMS, DETERMINED THAT A TSB EXISTS BUT NO RECALL ALTHOUGH THE DESIGN OF THE UNIT HAS BEEN CHANGED DUE TO DEFECT. REPLACING THIS UNIT TOOK A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AND EFFORT AS A LARGE AMOUNT OF THE TOP HALF OF THE MOTOR HAS TO BE REMOVED TO REVEAL THE SENSOR. REPLACED AND VEHICLE HAS BEEN OPERATING FREE OF THE CEL SINCE THAT TIME AND ACCURATE OIL PRESSURE READINGS ARE BEING RECEIVED. WITHOUT THE REPAIR, THE VEHICLE CANNOT PASS A NYS SAFETY INSPECTION AND FEATURES OF THE VEHICLE ARE DISABLED.

THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FAULTY OIL COOLERS THAT A BUNCH OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING AND JEEP SHOULD BE FIXING THESE AS A FAULTY PART. MANY OWNERS OF THE 2014 MODELS AND POSSIBLY OTHER MODELS HAVE EXPERIENCED CRACKED OIL COOLER HOUSINGS.

VEHICLE ONLY HAS ABOUT 66K MILES AND AFTER A NEW OIL CHANGE, I COULD HEAR A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE BAY. AFTER TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC AND RESEARCHING FOR SIMILAR ISSUES FROM OTHER JEEP OWNERS. IT SEEMS THE 3.6L PENTASTAR ENGINE IS NOTORIOUS FOR HAVING A CAMSHAFT OR LIFTER GO BAD

CLOCK SPRING- AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE WEB, THEIR ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS COMPLAIN AND WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. MY STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS DO NOT FUNCTION, ALONG WITH THE HORN. NOT HAVING THE HORN FUNCTIONING IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE I COULD HAVE DIED, SIMPLY BECAUSE OF MY UNFUNCTION CLOCK SPRING. A SEMI TRUCK WAS BACKING UP, NOT REALIZING I WAS BEHIND AND I COULD NOT USED MY HORN TO HUNK. IF IT WASN'T FOR ANOTHER DRIVER BY MY SIDE, THE SEMI TRUCK WOULD HAVE CRASHED ME. PLEASE WE NEED THIS TO BE A RECALL. THANKS

ENGINE
THE PLASTIC OIL FILTER HOUSING CRACKED AT ABOUT 26,000 MILES CAUSING A MAJOR ENGINE OIL LEAK FROM THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. OIL HAS LEAKED DOWN AND SPLATTERED ALL OVER THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE TRANSMISSION AND EXHAUST PIPE CAUSING SIGNIFICANT SMOKING AND A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE ON 3.6L PENTASTAR V6 ENGINES AND THE THE ONLY FIX IS A REPLACEMENT OF THE PART AT A COST OF $830.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:OIL/LUBRICATION: OIL COOLER
THE OIL COOLER/FILTER HOUSING IS LEAKING OIL. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE ON THE 2014 JEEP WRANGLER AS EVIDENCED ACROSS OWNERSHIP FORUMS AND WEBSITES. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 63,000 MILES AND IS DRIVEN ON NORMAL CITY/HIGHWAY STREETS. ALL NORMAL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE ON TIME AT DEALERSHIPS. I FEEL THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS PART DUE TO THE VOLUME OF REPAIRS AND THE NUMEROUS RE-DESIGNS THAT JEEP HAS PERFORMED ON THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. THE REDESIGNS SIGNAL THAT JEEP KNOWS THERE IS AN INHERENT DESIGN ISSUE THAT LEADS TO FAILURE.

LOUD TICKING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF ENGINE. A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH MANY MODEL YEARS OF JEEPS. I WAS TOLD I DO NOT HAVE THE WARRANTY ANY LONGER BECAUSE MY WARRANTY FOR THE VEHICLE STARTED IN 2013. IF I DID, THIS KNOWN ISSUE WOULD NOT BE COVERED. SHOP WANTED 3K DOLLARS TO REPAIR. SOUND HAPPENS WITH CAR RUNNING ALL THE TIME IN DRIVE OR JUST IDLE. GETS LOUDER AS I ACCELERATE.

SEAT BELTS
THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT DOES NOT ALWAYS STAY LATCHED IN PLACE. WHETHER OR NOT THE LATCH IS CONNECTED, IT SHOWS THAT THE SEATBELT NEEDS CONNECTED AND THE CHIME CONTINUOUSLY RINGS, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WORRIED WHETHER THIS WILL AFFECT OTHER SAFETY FEATURES, IN THE VEHICLE. ESPECIALLY THE AIRBAG. THIS ISSUE STARTED ON JULY 27, 2020.
