PROBLEM CONTINUED DISCONNECTING BATTERY STOPPED WORKING AND POWER WINDOW CONTROLLS MALFUNCTIONED AND STARTED WORKING AGAIN. RADIO STILL DOES NOT WORK AND WILL SOMETIMES COME ON WITH BRIGHT SCREEN AND A VERY LOUD SOUND WHILE DRIVING. DEALERSHIP STATES NOT A WARRENTY ISSUE. ANOTJER MECHANIC STATES IT IS TIPM ISSUE AND WAS RECALLED IN OTHER DODGES. ALSO ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND THE DIAGNOSTIC REPORT CAME BACK AS THE OIL SENSOR BEING THE PROBLEM. MY JEEP ONLY HAS 39000 MILES ON IT AND THEY WANT $600 TO REPAIR IT. I SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS A RECALL.

ENGINE
OIL COOLER HOUSING CRACKING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS CAUSING OIL TO LEAK. GIVEN THE RELATIVELY SLOW BUT CONSISTENT LEAK THIS PROBLEM CAN GO VERY EASILY UNNOTICED BUT RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE AND ULTIMATELY CAUSE ACCIDENTS. IF THIS PART COMPLETELY FAILS THERE MAY BE NO WARNING TIME AND CAUSE ENGINE SEIZE AND/OR PERMANENT ENGINE DAMAGE. PART HAS BEEN RE-DESIGNED MULTIPLE TIMES AND IS A VERY WELL KNOWN ISSUE IN MANY 2014 AND OTHER YEAR JEEP WRANGLER VEHICLES. PART SHOULD BE RECALLED AND VEHICLES SUSPECTED TO HAVE THIS PART INSPECTED FOR LEAKING OIL. IN MY SCENARIO I NOTICED DRIPPING OIL FROM AROUND BOTH SIDES OF THE TRANSMISSION BELL HOUSING BUT UNABLE TO TRACE TO THE SOURCE AT FIRST. AFTER READING A FEW FORUMS I LOOKED DOWN ALONG SIDE THE OIL FILTER HOUSING AND FOUND A PUDDLE OF OIL LAYING IN THE VALLEY OF THE ENGINE. MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS VERY SAME ISSUE AND THE FACT THAT THE PART HAS BEEN RE-DESIGNED SO MANY TIMES AND CAN CAUSE SAFETY CONCERNS, I WOULD LIKE NHTSA SO PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS.

OIL LEAKING FROM THE OIL FILTER ADAPTOR HOUSING PER JEEP SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON 2014 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. THE ITEM IS BACKORDERED AND JEEP SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ADVISED MY DAUGHTER NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. JEEP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD US THAT THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR RENTAL CAR OR PROVIDE A CAR WHILE THE CAR SITS AT DEALERSHIP WAITING FOR REPAIR. NO IDEA WHEN PART WILL BE BACK IN STOCK.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
SUMMARY: OIL COOLER HOUSING CRACKED. THIS OCCURRED AT LESS THAN 51,000. WE WERE LUCKY THAT IT HAPPENED IN OUR GARAGE RATHER THEN WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE OIL LEAK AND HAD TO BE TOWED FOR REPAIRS. IF WE HAD BEEN DRIVING IT COULD HAVE CAUSED ENGINE FAILURE. COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BUT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON THEME WITH THE 2014S. REQUEST RESEARCH HELP *BF *TR

BOUGHT MY 2014 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT IN APRIL 2017, IT HAS A LITTLE OVER 44,000 MILES. I NOTICED A SMELL OF BURNT OIL, I HAVENT CHANGED THE OIL RECENTLY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT APPEARS AS THE OIL FILTER HOUSING ADAPTER IS CRACKED. IDENTIFIED AS PART NUMBER 68105583AA. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE, AND ACCORDING TO THE FORUMS I HAVE READ A CONTINUING PROBLEM. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS? MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS REPLACED THE PART WITH PART 68105583AE. NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER. I HATE TO SPEND ALMOST 30,000 DOLLARS AND HAVE TO REPAIR IT AFTER DRIVINF IT 7,000 MILES. COMPLETE DISSAPOINTMENT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE FRONT SWAY BAR CAME OUT OF THE ELECTRONIC SWAY BAR DISCONNECT HOUSING WHICH DISCONNECTED THE SWAY BAR UNKNOWINGLY AND UNINTENTIONALLY, CAUSING AN EXTREMELY UNSTABLE DRIVING CONDITION. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF THE OCCURRENCE AS FAR AS WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH. THE ONLY WAY IT WAS DISCOVERED WAS BECAUSE I ASSUMED THE SPRINGS OR SHOCKS WERE WORN OUT TO CAUSE THE CONDITION. WHILE REPLACING THE FRONT SHOCKS, I NOTICED THE SWAY BAR WAS PULLED OUT OF THE HOUSING. WE HAD NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS ON THE FREEWAY WITH NEAR ROLL OVERS DUE TO THIS CONDITION. THE MANUAL STATES YOU SHOULD NEVER EXCEED SPEEDS OF 18 MPH WHEN SWAY BAR IS DISCONNECTED. HOWEVER, WE HAD BEEN ON NUMEROUS TRIPS TRAVELLING ON THE FREEWAY AT SPEEDS OF 80 MPH. I CONTACTED JEEP REPEATEDLY AND WAS JUST TOLD IT WAS A "NON-SERVICABLE" PART, AND TO REPLACE IT, AT AN APPROXIMATE COST OF OVER $2000.00

ENGINE
CRACKED OIL COOLER RELEASED EXTREME AMOUNTS OF OIL INTO ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THROUGHOUT ENGINE AND UNDERCARRIAGE. THE OIL SPILL REPRESENTS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR NOT ONLY ROAD/PAVEMENT SLIP HAZARD AND BRAKE CONTAMINATION BUT ALSO PRESENTS A FIRE HAZARD AS IT OCCURS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT NEAR ELECTRICAL AND HEATED ELEMENTS. AFTER SCHEDULING REPLACEMENT, PART IS OUT OF STOCK DUE TO HEAVY DEMAND FOR THIS PARTICULAR YEAR. AFTER CALLING MULTIPLE PART SUPPLIERS AND DEALERS IT APPEARS THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE IN THIS YEAR ONLY.
