658 consumer complaints on file.

ENGINE
Oil Filter Housing cracked. Oil pools on top of engine and under intake manifold. Oil runs down the right side of engine - taking out an oxygen sensor in the process as the wiring harness gets soaked in oil. Oil ran down onto transmission and exhaust manifolds creating odor and a lot of smoke - not to mention the oil all over my driveway and street. Evidently, this is a known problem to the manufacturer. It is reported hundreds of times on this site and thousands of times on various internet sites. Clearly there are manufacturing problems that are at fault and creating serious safety and economic impacts to owners. Research across various platforms indicates that it is not a matter of "if this will happen," but "when" it will happen. Where is the accountability to the manufacturer? Why is NHTSA NOT doing something to protect the consumer and the public?

Oil cooler cracked, very common with this engine. Needs to be a recall. My shop said they were doing around 2 a week? Poor design, plastic mounted to aluminum. It cost me $1285.00 to get this fixed. The engine only has 46000 miles on it. The vehicle has never been off-road and has the oil changed every 3000 miles.

The oil filter housing was cracked and leaking and replaced under warranty a few years back. The same problem is happening again because it is a plastic oil filter housing. Chrysler knows its a defective part. Make them issue a recall please We shouldn't have to pay 800 plus to have it fixed with the same defective part. They're profiting from their mistake.

ENGINE
Warped and leaking oil filter housing. The housing is made of plastic and unsuitable for this use. Newer models they have corrected this and the housings are made of aluminum. Mine is plastic and very unsafe. Having leaking oil is an enviromental and safety hazard. Jeep refuses to repair this issue even though it is a well know problem for all Penstar engies with the plastic housing. The leaking housing was brought to my attention during a normal oil change.

ENGINE
Greetings, My 2014 Jeep Wrangler has developed a ticking sound that is progressively getting worse. I have addressed this with my professional mechanic and noted to me after checking the engine that there is an issue with the engine and Chrysler knows about it yet no recall has been published. The issue has to do with the 3. 6l Pentastar engine is notorious for having a camshaft or lifter go bad. The answer is apparently to replace the headers. I have contacted Customer service at Chrysler and they are now claiming not to know about it. My mechanic stated that repairs can run about $2000. I would appreciate it if you would appropriately deal with this and inform me on the outcome. Thank you kindly, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

AIR BAGS
Was in a car accident in which my jeep wrangler sport rolled twice and the front end is smashed. The car adjustors reviewed it as totalled out. The driver, I was the driver, airbags did not deploy. I'm highly concerned with this considering the damage to the vehicle and the wreck happening at a speed of over 50 mph.

At approx 45,000 miles the rocker arm bearing failed causing a ticking noise in the engine. Upon researching this issue, I have found multiple complaints and confirmation that this issue is due to poor manufacturing.

The vehicle has a drivers side airbag fault and problem with the clockspring. This is not a recall but seems as though it should be as other models have recalls for the exact same thing.
