TSB- 18-034-14 REV.A ISSUED: 07/15/147 THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE SENSOR FOR YEARS, MULTIPLE FORUMS WITH COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE IN NOT ONLY JEEP, BUT MANY CHRYSLER 3.6 LITER ENGINES. THE ADDITIONAL TROUBLE WITH JEEP IS IT IS NOT AN EASY FIX THE WHOLE MANIFOLD HAS TO BE REMOVED TO BE ABLE TO SWITCH OUT THE PART. IT IS A 4 HOUR LABOR CHARGE JUST TO REPLACE, AS WELL AS, MANY HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND HAD PROBLEM RECUR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE AN ENGINE FAILURE CODE 520 FOR THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH OR HARNESS WITH ONLY 8315 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. I FOUND A JEEP FORUM THAT DESCRIBED THIS PROBLEM IN DETAIL AND STATED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE 2012 WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT WAS ALSO STATED THAT TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND FUEL INJECTOR RAIL WOULD NEED TO BE REMOVED. THAT IS A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED THAN WHAT I AM WILLING TO TRY. THIS SHOULD BE HANDLED UNDER A RECALL OR AT LEAST AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR CONSUMER PROTECTION.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER DRIVING LESS THAN 5MI. I STOPPED AND CONSULTED THE MANUAL. I DECIDED TO PROCEED HOME AFTER READING IT IS ONLY URGENT IF LIGHT IS FLASHING. I CHECKED MY OBD AND IT READ THE CODE P06DD WHICH INDICATED A PROBLEM WITH OIL PUMP. MY LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. DEALERSHIP REPLACED A SWITCH. SHORTLY AFTER MY LIGHT CAME BACK ON READING THE SAME CODE. ADDITIONALLY, I SMELLED BURNING OIL AND CAR WENT TO LIMP MODE WHEN AT 3000 RPMS. DEALERSHIP REPLACED OIL PUMP FINALLY. SHORTLY AFTER, THE CAR BEGAN LEAKING A LOT OF OIL. DEALERSHIP REPLACED OIL COOLER/HOUSING. DUE TO THE CONSTANT PROBLEMS AND MISDIAGNOSIS I CONSULTED SEVERAL OTHER DEALERSHIPS AND FOUND OUT THAT THEY FREQUENTLY SEE MY VEHICLE TYPE TO REPLACE COOLER. APPARENTLY, IT IS DUE TO CHANGES MADE ON THE 3.6 ENGINES INCLUDING A PLASTIC PIECE THAT WAS FORMALLY METAL. THE DEALERSHIP I HAD DO THE REPAIRS, CLAIM THAT THE SWITCH WAS THE PROBLEM AND EVERYTHING ELSE WAS COINCIDENTAL DESPITE ME HAVING THE CODE FOR OIL PUMP FROM DAY 1. AT APPROX 45000MI IT IS UNCOMMON FOR OIL SYSTEM FAILURES HOWEVER IT SEEMS TO BE COMMON FOR THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR AT SIMILAR MILAGES. SEARCH FORUMS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
PARKED VEHICLE ON A SLOPE IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND WAS IN PARK. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING ALL PASSENGERS EXITING THE VEHICLE, IT SLOWLY STARTED ROLLING AWAY, BACKWARDS. IT TRAVELED DOWN A 4WD ROAD A SMALL DISTANCE BEFORE TURNING OFF AND TUMBLING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN. LUCKILY EVERYONE HAD EXITED THE VEHICLE AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THOUGH WE WERE PARKED ON A SLOPE, PROBABLY AROUND 15 DEGREES, THERE WAS COMPLETE FAILURE OF BOTH THE PARK GEAR AND THE PARKING BRAKE ALLOWING A ROLLAWAY. THE PARKING SURFACES WAS A COMBINATION SOLID ROCK AND DIRT.

2014 JEEP RUBICON. VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. LESS THAT 19,000 MILES. 7/10/18, JEEP RAN FINE IN MORNING AND AFTERNOON. TRIED TO START AFTER WORK (4:15 PM) AND WOULD NOT TURN OVER. JUMP START BATTERY AND DROVE TO DEALERSHIP. NOTHING ON DASH WAS WORKING WHILE DRIVING. SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE BOUNCING. WHILE DRIVING ALL LIGHTS WERE ON AND FLICKERING. EVEN HEADLIGHTS. VEHICLE FELT AS THOUGH IT WAS SURGING. WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ALTERNATOR FOR THE 2014 JEEP BUT NOT THE WRANGLERS. AGAIN, LESS THAT 19,000 MILES. DIAGNOSTIC RESULT WAS ALTERNATOR WENT BAD AND BURNED UP BATTERY. BOTH BEING REPLACED AT PERFORMANCE DEALERSHIP IN LAVISTA, NE 68128. I CANT UNDERSTAND HOW AN ALTERNATOR GOES BAD ON A JEEP WITH LESS THAN 19,000 MILE. THE JEEP IS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY AND WE ARE COVERING ALL COST. SHOULD WRANGLERS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE 2014 ALTERNATOR RECALL?

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A TOLL ROAD SMOKE STARTED COMING UP FROM THE FLOOR OF MY JEEP. YOU COULD SEE IT AND SMELL IT. WE ARE TALKING A LOT! THERE WASN'T A PLACE FOR ME TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY. THE WORST PART IS HAVING MY 8 YEAR OLD SON IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW SCARED I WAS THAT MY JEEP MAY BE ON FIRE AND COULD BLOW UP WITH MY CHILD INSIDE?! WE PULLED OVER AND JUMPED OUT. I LOOKED UNDER AND THERE WAS A SMALL FLAME ON THE EXHAUST . MY JEEP DUMPED ALL OF ITS OIL AND IT SPILLED ALL OVER THE HOT EXHAUST CAUSING A FIRE. THE OIL WAS BURNING UNDERNEATH MY JEEP. THIS IS NOT OKAY. THIS DEFECTIVE COOLING HOUSING COULD EVENTUALLY KILL SOMEONE. I'M LIVID MY SON WAS IN THE VEHICLE. EVEN MORESO THAT THERE IS TONS OF COMPLAINTS AND YOU'VE DONE NOTHING! I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED CHRYSLER! MY FAMILY HAS BEEN BUYING YOUR VEHICLES FOR CLOSE TO 20 YEARS. MAKING ANY OF US PAY TO FIX SOMETHING YOU ALL KNOW IS DEFECTIVE IS WRONG! AND SHAME ON ANYONE THAT DOESN'T SEE THIS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

MY 2014 WRANGLER HAS THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE JEEP WRANGLER CLOCKSPRING RECALL THAT IS FOR 2007-2010 YEARS. MY AIRBAG DEACTIVATION LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL OR HIT BUMPS. IT HAPPENS 2-3 TIMES A DAY AND WHEN IT DOES THE AIRBAG CAN BE DEACTIVATED FOR UP TO 10-15 MINUTES BEFORE TURNING THE WHEEL OR GIVING THE STEERING COLUMN A GOOD WHACK BRINGS IT BACK TO LIFE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS AND HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY (ACCORDING TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP) MY OIL COOLER HOUSING CRACKED AND LEAKED MOST, IF NOT ALL, OF THE ENGINE'S OIL INTO THE COOLANT SYSTEM. THIS OCCURRED IN 10 MINUTES AND EXTREMELY OVERHEATED THE ENGINE FROM THE TIME IT HAPPENED TO THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND SAFELY PARK. THE OIL MIXING WITH THE COOLANT CAUSED IT TO TURN INTO A THICK MUD-LIKE CONSISTENCY THAT CLOGGED UP THE COOLING SYSTEM AND AFTER LETTING IT COOL DOWN I OPENED THE RADIATOR THEN A THICK BROWN OILY/COOLANT MIXTURE SEEPED OUT OF THE RADIATOR. SO THE RADIATOR WAS HOLDING PRESSURE PRIOR TO BRINGING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE OIL COOLER HOUSING UNDER WARRANTY ALONG WITH THE RADIATOR HOSES BUT IS NOW SAYING MY RADIATOR HAS A HOLE IN IT AND NOT HOLDING PRESSURE AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY, DESPITE THE JEEP NOT HAVING ANY MECHANICAL ISSUES PRIOR TO A HOLE BLOWING OPEN IN THE ENGINE AND LEAKING OUT OIL. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO TEST THE ENGINE ANY FURTHER EVEN THOUGH IT RAN FOR 10 MINUTES WITH LITTLE TO NO OIL IN IT WHICH MOST LIKELY CAUSED PRE-MATURE WEAR. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO PAY $800+ FOR A NEW RADIATOR. I BOUGHT THIS JEEP 40 DAYS AGO FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND IT'S STILL COVERED UNDER THE 100,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THEY ARE TRYING TO GET MY JEEP OUT OF THEIR DEALERSHIP AS QUICKLY AS THEY CAN BY SPENDING THE LEAST AMOUNT OF TIME AND MONEY.

OIL COOLER HOUSING CRACKED. THIS OCCURRED AT LESS THAN 40,000. I WAS LUCKY THAT I NOTICED IT IN MY GARAGE RATHER THEN WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED FOR REPAIRS. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING IT COULD HAVE CAUSED ENGINE FAILURE. COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BUT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON THEME WITH THE 2014S. COME ON FCA CAN YOU SERIOUSLY CANT FIX THIS ISSUE. I MEAN REALLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING AS WELL AS OTHER BUTTONS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE STEERING WHEEL. BEFORE DISCOVERING THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT HEARD AN AUDIO INDICATOR AND A MESSAGE DISPLAYED FOR AN OIL CHANGE. AFTERWARDS, THE OIL CHANGE DISPLAY WARNING WAS NO LONGER VISIBLE, ONLY THE AUDIO INDICATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT TO RESEARCH ONLINE FOR OPEN RECALLS. THE CONTACT FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V288000 (AIR BAGS), BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.
