ENGINE
I RECENTLY DROVE MY JEEP ABOUT 14 HOURS ROUNDTRIP FOR THANKSGIVING. I CHECKED THE OIL RIGHT BEFORE BECAUSE I KNEW AN OIL CHANGE WAS COMING UP, BUT IT WAS STILL FINE SO I DIDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT. ON THE WAY HOME, THE 'CHANGE OIL SOON' LIGHT CAME ON, SO I CHECKED IT AGAIN WHEN I GOT HOME AND IT WAS COMPLETELY DRY! I'M NOT REALLY SURE HOW IT WAS STILL RUNNING. I PUT MORE OIL IN IT AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND A CRACK IN THE OIL COOLER. I HADN'T HAD AN ISSUE WITH LEAKING UNTIL THIS POINT, BUT I HEARD OTHERS WITH THE SAME TYPE OF CAR HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STRONG FUEL SMELL FROM LEAKING FUEL ON TOP OF FUEL TANK, ESPECIALLY WHEN TANK NEAR FULL. STRONG ENOUGH TO SMELL ANYWHERE AROUND THE CAR WHEN PARKED WHETHER IT WAS RUNNING OR NOT, EVEN OUTSIDE. DEALER DIAGNOSED CRACKED FUEL PUMP BUT UNABLE TO GET THE PART DUE TO BACKORDER, NO SAFETY RECALL, NO WARRANTY. OBVIOUSLY DANGEROUS TO TO DRIVE SO HAD IT FIXED BY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. PULLED OUT FUEL PUMP AND THE PLASTIC WAS CRACKED ALL AROUND THE OUTSIDE EDGE UNDER THE LOCKING RING WHICH WAS THE SOURCE OF THE LEAKING FUEL. DEALER AND JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFERED NO REMEDY. BEWARE OF THIS PROBLEM IF YOUR JEEP JK HAS A STRONG FUEL SMELL.

STARTED UP MY VEHICLE TO TAKE DAUGHTER TO THE BUS. DROVE 20 YARDS TO THE ROAD TO WAIT ON THE BUS BACKED UP MY JEEP AND SHUT IT OFF AFTER SHE GOT ON THE BUS. OIL WAS EVERYWHERE. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND THE OIL FILTER HOUSING COOLER OR WHATEVER HE CALLED IT WAS BROKEN. APPARENTLY FROM WHAT HE TOLD ME AND WHAT I READ THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 2014 MODEL. KNOWING IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM AND A VITAL PIECE OF THE JEEP FUNCTIONALITY, WHY IS IT MADE OF PLASTIC AND WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON IT? MY JEEP LITERALLY LOST ALL OIL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MCLARTY DANIEL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2201 SE MOBERLY LN, BENTONVILLE, AR 72712, (479) 250-3900) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL; THEREFORE, THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE HEAT DOES NOT WORK ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF MY JEEP. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A VISIBILITY ISSUE DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. WE TOOK IT IN TO A MECHANIC TO BE LOOKED AT AND THE HEATER CORE WAS FOUND TO BE CLOGGED WITH A SAND LIKE SUBSTANCE. THE ISSUE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY SO WE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS TO BE FIXED. THE HEATER CORE WAS FLUSHED AND 2 DAYS LATER SAME ISSUE NO HEAT ON DRIVERS SIDE. WE TOOK IT BACK IN AND THE SAME SAND LIKE SUBSTANCE WAS FOUND AGAIN TO BE CLOGGING THE SYSTEM. THIS TIME WE HAD TO REPLACED THE HEATER CORE AND HAVE IT FLUSHED AGAIN NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. 3 DAYS LATER THE SAME ISSUE SAND LIKE SUBSTANCE CLOGGING THE SYSTEM AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT IS NOT COVERED AND THEY WILL HAVE TO CHARGE US TO LOOK AT IT. I READ ON SEVERAL JEEP FORMS THAT JEEPS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND THE SAND LIKE SUBSTANCE IS FROM THE CASTING AND IT CAN DAMAGE YOUR ENTIRE COOLING SYSTEM. IF SO MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE THEN WHY IS IT NOT BEING LOOKED INTO. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US TO CONTACT CHRYSLER AND THEN CHRYSLER DOES NOT LISTEN TO YOU AND SAYS TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER WE HAVE ALREADY HAD THE ISSUE DIAGNOSED.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
NOTICED OIL ON MY DRIVEWAY TWO MONTHS AFTER A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. TOOK TO THE DEALER AND THE OIL FILTER HOUSING WAS CRACKED. JEEP ONLY HAD 41K MILES ON IT, RESULTING IN A $1050 REPAIR COST TO REPLACE. I NORMALLY TAKE IT TO AN OIL CHANGE PLACE (MR GOOD LUBE), BUT THEY REFUSED TO WORK ON MY JEEP THIS TIME SINCE THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS OIL FILTER HOUSING ISSUE (AND I AM GUESSING HAVE BEEN BLAMED). I TOOK IT TO MY NORMAL MECHANIC INSTEAD FOR THE OIL CHANGE. TWO MONTHS LATER, THE OIL STARTED LEAKING SO WAS FORCED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER.

I NOTICED THERE IS A LEAK FROM MY OIL FILTER HOUSING, I COULD T TELL WHY IN MY UNDER CARRIAGE I HAD OIL GOING BACK NEAR TRANSMISSION FOLLOWED THE LEAK UP TO THE OIL FILTER HOUSING I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS CRACKED BUT AT ONLY 49K THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AND I HAVE READ ON MANY THREADS THIS IS ANY ISSUE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND COVERED UNDER POWER TERRAIN WARRANTY. I NOTICED IT BECAUSE I WAS CHECKING MY DIFFERENTIAL FLUIDS AND SAW THE MESS OF OIL SPRAYING ALL OVER MY UNDER CARRIAGE

OUR RUBICON HAD DIFFICULTY GOING IN REVERSE RECENTLY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THIS THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDING REPLACEMENT WITH ONLY 55,300 MILES AND JUST A MONTH OUT OF WARRANTY. WE FEEL LIKE THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT WITH SO FEW MILES. CHRYSLER DOES NOT APPEAR INTERESTED IN ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. I HAVE SEEN OTHER ISSUES ONLINE AND WONDER IF THIS IS COMMON. HENCE OUR COMPLAINT FOR THE RECORD.

AIR BAGS
AFTER GETTING A FINE DUST WITHIN THE CABIN OF THE JEEP I HAD MY AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I SAW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM BUT I WAS INFORMED THAT MY JEEP WAS NOT IN THE RECALL LIST. I FIND THIS HIGHLY CONCERNING AS THE SAFETY RECALL S40 IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY JEEP WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE LOOKED INTO AS IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE COMPANY ALREADY HAS PLACED A RECALL FOR JEEPS OF MY YEAR OF MAKE.

ENGINE
AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES WHILE ON A HIGHWAY MY JEEP SUDDENLY SMELLED LIKE IT WAS BURNING AND I LOST ACCELERATION ON IT. TOOK IT TO MY LIFE TIME MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS OIL SLUDGE EVERYWHERE ON THE ENGINE. HE CHANGED THE OIL OUT, CLEANED OUT THE ENGINE BUT DIDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES WITH THE OIL TANK OR HOSES. A YEAR LATER, NOW AT 40,000 MILES, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SUDDENLY COMES ON. MECHANIC READS A "MISFIRE" ERROR. HE CHANGES OUT ALL MY SPARK PLUGS, THE IGNITION COIL AND THE PLENUM GASKET. CLEANS OUT THE FUEL INJECTORS AND THE CAR IS HUMMING BEAUTIFULLY AGAIN. BUT 5 DAYS LATER, AGAIN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. MECHANIC CHECKS EVERYTHING HE DID AND CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. HE RESEARCHED AND THINKS IT COULD BE THE EXHAUST VALVE SEATS BEING WORN OUT. RECOMMENDS I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. LOW AND BEHOLD, THEY DISCOVER THAT A CYLINDER HEAD NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED! APPARENTLY AN ISSUE THEY KEEP ENCOUNTERING FREQUENTLY IN THIS MODEL. I'VE SEEN IT POSTED ON A BUNCH OF THREADS REGARDING JEEPS. THANK GOODNESS I WAS 4 DAYS AWAY FROM MY 5 YEAR WARRANTY TO EXPIRE WHEN THIS HAPPENED!!!! I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL THE 2014 JEEPS TO MAKE SURE THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED ONCE AND FOR ALL. MY VIN DID NOT SHOW A RECALL PER YOUR SYSTEM, BUT ALL 2014 JEEPS SHOULD BE CHECKED SINCE IT'S OCCURRING SO FREQUENTLY, AND PEOPLE WILL BE OUT OF THEIR WARRANTY SOON WITH THAT YEAR'S MODEL.
