ENGINE
2014 JEEP JK WRANGLER. OIL FILTER HOUSING CRACK. OIL LEAKING EVERYWHERE UNDER THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS SMOKING. THIS CAN CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD. LOOKS LIKE FOR YEARS THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THIS FIX IS ALMOST 1000.00 DOLLARS. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT YOU HAVE SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE THAT THE COMPANY IS NOT WILLING TO FIX THIS. I WILL BE CONTACTING AN ATTORNEY IF THIS IS NOT RESOLVED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE GOT THE MACHINE ATTACHED THE CODE READ PO520 ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT. WHEN WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY ANY LONGER AND WOULDN'T REPAIR. WHILE I RESEARCHED WE FOUND A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT WAS ISSUED PRIOR TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRATION. THE OIL SENSOR SHOULD HAVE AND COULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED PRIOR TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRING IF THE DEALERSHIPS WERE MANDATED TO NOTIFY AND FIX ALL REPAIRS RELATED TO DEFECTIVE PARTS. DURING MY RESEARCH WE FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS A RECALL IN EXTENDED WARRANTY STATUS. REGARDLESS IF WE GOT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IT IS ILLEGAL FOR A DEALERSHIP TO SELL A USED VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG OR A RECALL. IT IS ALSO ILLEGAL FOR ME NOT TO GET IT FIXED OR MY REGISTRATION CAN BE REVOKED. I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS COST TO REPAIR EITHER OF THESE ITEMS. I AM JUST ASKING YOU TO PLEASE TAKE THESE ISSUES SERIOUSLY AND TO HAVE BOTH THESE PARTS REPLACED. IF THIS WASN'T BAD ENOUGH, THIS TIME OF YEAR, COVID AND MY CURRENT FINANCIAL SITUATION IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME. PLEASE HELP ME.

VEHICLE STALLS WHEN STARTED, BRAKE DEPRESSED AND SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. WILL OCCUR SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW, UNLESS BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED AS SOON AS VEHICLE IS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. WHEN BRAKE IS RELEASED, VEHICLE ACCELERATES UNUSUALLY FAST, IN REVERSE, WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. PROBLEM IS MORE PROMINENT IN COLDER WEATHER (BELOW 40F).

ENGINE
MY 2014 JEEP WRANGLER JKU HAS 86737 MILES AND DEVELOPED AN OIL LEAK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS/REPAIR, AND WAS TOLD "MASSIVE LEAK FROM OIL COOLER HAS SATURATED ENGINE BLOCK VALLEY AND SPILLING OVER ON TO TRANSMISSION AND UNDER BODY". AS STATED FROM THE DEALER, THE OIL LEAK DOES NOT DRAIN FROM THE ENGINE, BUT POOLS IN THE ENGINE BLOCK VALLEY UNTIL IT FILLS AND THEN RUNS OVER THE REST OF THE TRANSMISSION/ENGINE. THIS CREATES A FIRE HAZARD.. AS STATED FROM THE DEALER, THE OIL FILTER/COOLER ASSEMBLY (MOPAR PART # 05184294AE) IS LOCATED IN THE ENGINE BLOCK VALLEY, SO IT IS VERY PROTECTED FROM EXTERNAL DAMAGE. THE SEALS JUST LEAK. THIS DEFECT COST OVER $1000 TO REPAIR. FROM THE NUMBER OF OTHER OCCURRENCES I HAVE READ ABOUT, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE.

ENGINE
IN 2014 MOPAR STARTED USING A PLASTIC OIL FILER / COOLER HOUSING ON THE 3.6 PENSTAR ENGINES. THIS PLASTIC OIL FILER/COOLER HOUSING IS EASY TO CRACK OR DEVELOP OIL LEAKS. THE OIL THEN PUDDLES UP UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD LAYING AGAINST THE HOT ENGINE BLOCK. IT APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY DESIGN THAT COULD RESULT IN ENGINE FIRES OR BREAKDOWNS FROM LOSS OF OIL. THIS IS USED ON LOTS OF DIFFERENT MODELS OF VEHICLES. MINE IS THE 2014 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. THE OIL LEAKS ANYTIME THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. AFTER THE ENGINE VALLEY IS FULL THE OIL RUNS DOWN THE BACK OF THE ENGINE AND FALLS ON THE TRANSMISSION BELL HOUSING AND EXHAUST PIPE CAUSING BURNING OIL SMELL AND POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. MOPAR SHOULD REPLACE THESE ON ALL VEHICLES AFTER THE 2014 YEAR.

ENGINE
I PURCHASED A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH THE 3.6 LITER PENTASTAR ENGINE. I BOUGHT IT WITH 75K MILES. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 500 MILES, THERE WAS A VERY LOUD TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND SAID THE REPAIRS START AT $2,200. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET PERTAINING TO THIS TICKING AND NUMEROUS VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE SHOWING HOW TO REPAIR THE LIFTER NOISE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD MAKE THE FIX.

2014 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 43,000 MILES SEVERE OIL LEAK FROM OIL FILTER HOUSING. OIL WENT FROM SMALL DRIP TO SEVERE LEAK WITH OIL COATING CROSS MEMBER AND EXHAUST PIPE WITHIN WEEKS. OIL DRIPPING AND COATING THE HOT EXHAUST IS A FIRE HAZZARD AND YOU CAN SMELL THE BURNING OIL AT EVERY STOP LIGHT. $1000 REPAIR AT THE DEALER.

ENGINE
THE OIL COOLER/OIL FILTER ADAPTOR FAILED. THIS PART IS PLASTIC AND SITS ON TOP OF THE ENGINE....! SINCE 2014 THIS PART HAS FAILED IN MANY FCA VEHICLES AND WHEN IT DOES IT LEAKS OIL AND COOLANT ON TOP OF A RUNNING/HOT ENGINE! IN MY CASE IT FAILED AND CAUSED A LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE WHICH THEN DAMAGED THE CAM SHAFTS AND O2 SENSOR. LUCKILY IT WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY BUT WHEN THAT RUNS OUT IT'S NOT ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE BUT A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR A FAILING PLASTIC PART THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED BY NOW! THE COMPANY SHOULD AT A MINIMUM EXTEND THE WARRANTY FOR THAT PART ON EVERY ENGINE IT HAS BEEN USED IN.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT AND AUDIBLE TONE COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY GOES AND COMES WHILE DRIVING AND OR IDLING. PASSENGER SIDE INFLATOR WAS REPLACED WITH RECALL. RESEARCHING THIS WARNING MANY 2014 JK'S ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. RESEARCH POINTS DIRECTLY TO THE CLOCK SPRING. FCA USA SHOULD REPLACE THE PART AS A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR RHD JK'S AND MANY LHD JK'S ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.

THE BACK SEAT BELT WRAPPED AROUND MY DAUGHTERS NECK AND THE LOCK MECHANISM WOULD NOT RELEASE AND EVERY TIME SHE PULLED ON IT THE BELT GOT TIGHTER UNTIL THE POINT SHE FAINTED AND COULD HAVE DIED HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR A PASSERBY CARRYING AN ARMY KNIFE, ALLOWING US TO CUT THE BELT THEREBY FREEING HER. ALMOST A DEATH SITUATION OUT OF THE BLUE. THIS HAPPENED WHEN WE WERE DRIVING AND THEN STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT TO RELEASE HER.*DT*JB*DT*DT*JB*JB*JB*DT*JB

ENGINE OIL LEAK (FIRE HAZARD). THE ENGINE OIL FILTER HOUSING (PART NUMBER 68105583AA) IS WIDELY REPORTED TO FAULTY BY OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE YEAR (2014). THIS PART CRACKS UNDER ROUTINE DRIVING AND LEAKS ENGINE OIL ONTO HOT SYSTEM COMPONENTS, SUCH AS THE EXHAUST CROSS OVER AND TRANSMISSION, WHERE THE OIL BURNS AND CREATES A FIRE HAZARD. MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS HAVE NOTICED THIS SMOKE BEFORE IT IGNITED. HOWEVER OTHERS HAVE REPORTED A FIRE. THE OIL LEAK GENERALLY OCCURS WHEN THE ENGINE HAS COME UP TO TEMPERATURE AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION LONG ENOUGH TO REACH NORMAL OPERATING OIL PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE. THE PROBLEM OCCURS IF THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, REGARDLESS OF ROAD CONDITIONS. THE LEAK IS NOT IMMEDIATELY DETECTED BY A LOW OIL PRESSURE, HIGH TEMPERATURE, OR OTHER SIMILAR WARNING, FURTHER INCREASING THE FIRE RISK. FURTHER, THE LEAKING OIL POSSES AN ENVIRONMENTAL DANGER AND IS HAZARDOUS. PRIOR MODEL YEARS HAD A DIFFERENT, METAL PART WHICH DOES NOT CRACK AND LEAK UNDER ROUTINE USE. IT IS BELIEVED WHEN THIS PART WAS REPLACED WITH A PLASTIC COMPONENT IN 2014+ MODELS, THE NEW, PLASTIC PART WAS DEFECTIVE OR INSUFFICIENT FOR ITS HIGH TEMPERATURE OPERATING ENVIRONMENT INSIDE THE ENGINE. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER (FCA). ATTACHED PHOTO SHOWS: OIL (LIGHT BROWN) POOLING BENEATH LEAKING OIL FILTER HOUSING (FOREGROUND) ON THE ENGINE BLOCK ITSELF.
