POWER TRAIN
MY 2014 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED IS CURRENTLY BEING SERVICED FOR A CRACKED OIL COOLER. THE OIL LEAK WAS FIRST NOTICED WHILE PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A CRACKED OIL COOLER. I WAS ALSO TOLD I WAS LUCKY THERE WAS NO FIRE CAUSED AS THERE WAS SO MUCH OIL. I WAS TOLD IT SHOULD STILL BE UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE IS GETTING ITS NORMAL SERVICES NOW AND WILL BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE FOR THE 2014 JEEP WRANGLER.

NETS REFERENCE: #, CHRYSLER RECALL, PAW, TAPING SYSTEM. MY JEEP IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE PAW RECALL REFERS TO, THE PROBLEM IS THAT MY VINE. # IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL, WHEN IN FACT IT SHOULD BE. THE TAPING LIGHT CAME ON WHEN ONE TIRE DROPPED TO 33 BECAUSE THE THRESHOLD WAS PROGRAMMED INCORRECTLY AT THE FACTORY. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SET LOWER, PROBABLY AROUND 30 ? I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORP. ABOUT THIS, BUT THEY WERE OF NO HELP. IS THERE ANY WAY THAT THE RANGE OF VINE. NUMBERS OF AFFECTED JEEPS COULD BE RE-EVALUATED, AS THIS IS CLEARLY AFFECTING MY JEEP? THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).? *JB *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTED PUMPING LIKE THE ABS SYSTEM KICKED IN. THE BRAKES WORKED AS EXPECTED MINUTES LATER (AFTER REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
RANDOMLY THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES WOULD GO CRAZY, THE "IDIOT" LIGHTS WOULD COME ON, AND IF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON, THAT WILL DISENGAGE. I'VE HAD OTHER INCIDENTS WHERE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT HAVE ANY POWER WHEN THE KEY WAS ENGAGED, UNTIL 4 DIFFERENT TIMES OF TRYING IT. ALSO WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE, THE STARTER WOULD CONTINUE TO CRANK EVEN WITH THE KEY DISENGAGED.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TRANSFER CASE REAR MAIN SEAL LEAK AS DIAGNOSED BY TWO DIFFERENT JEEP DEALERSHIPS (JEEP OF HOLLYWOOD AND MASSEY YARDLEY JEEP). I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN TWICE FOR REPAIR AND THE LEAK CONTINUES (02/24/2017 [HOLLYWOOD JEEP] AND 03/08/2017 [MASSEY YARDLEY]). THE CAR IS IN FOR REEVALUATION AND REPAIR AS I AM WRITING THIS MAKING IT THE THIRD TIME IN THREE WEEKS THE CAR IS BEING REPAIRED FOR THE SAME ISSUE (03/17/2017 [MASSEY YARDLEY]). THIS INVOLVES THE MOTOR OIL IN THE VEHICLE AND LEAKS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IDLE OR BEING DRIVEN. ONCE THE WRANGLER IS DRIVEN THE THE OIL HEATS UP, AND THINS OUT, CAUSING THE OIL TO LEAK IN LARGER AMOUNTS AND FASTER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE LEAKING OIL CAN START AN ENGINE FIRE OR TOO MUCH OIL LOST CAN CAUSE AN ENGINE TO BE DAMAGED OR EVEN SEIZE. JEEP CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS ISSUE AND THEIR "CASE MANAGEMENT" TEAM HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, HOWEVER, TO-DATE ALL CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS INDICATE THERE IS NO RECALL OR INVESTIGATION INTO THESE ISSUES. AS AN ASIDE, THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER (PER CARFAX REPORT), FOR TRANSFER CASE RELATED ISSUES 11/18/2015. I IMPLORE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AS THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE.

ENGINE OIL COOLER HOUSING CRACKING AND LEAKING OIL. I HAVE HAD IT IN TWICE IN 3 MONTHS TO HAVE THE HOUSING REPLACED. I KNOW OF OTHERS WITH THIS YEAR, 2014, JEEP WRANGLER THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. YOU CAN SMELL THE OIL ON THE EXHAUST AND SEE THE OIL DRIPPING UNDER THE VEHICLE. I HAVE THE DEALER REPAIR ORDERS AND PARTS REPLACED AND THEY ARE THE SAME BOTH TIMES. NOW, WORRIED IT WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN EVEN AFTER MY WARRANTY RUNS OUT AND WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. JEEP SHOULD EXTEND THE WARRANTY AS LONG AS I OWN IT OR PERMANENTLY FIX THE COOLER PROBLEM ON THESE MODELS.

NOTICED POOL OF OIL UNDER MY JEEP AND UPON CLOSER INSPECTION OBSERVED OIL DRIPPING FROM BACK SIDE OF ENGINE ONTO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. IT APPEARS THE LEAK IS COMING FROM THE OIL FILTER HOUSING, AS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE ON THIS MODEL. UPON CONTACTING THE DEALER ABOUT THE PART, I WAS TOLD THERE IS A NATION-WIDE BACKORDER OF ABOUT 10,000 PARTS.

SEATS
ON 2/20/17 WE BROUGHT OUR JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED TO JEEP DEALER IN DELRAY BEACH FLORIDA SCHUMACHER BECAUSE WE FOUND RUST ON THE FRONT AND PASSENGER SEAT FRAME HINGES. THE SEAT HINGES HAVE BARE STEEL SHOWING SIGNS OF RUST WHICH COULD BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY DEFECT . THE VEHICLE IS STILL WITHIN 3 YEAR WARRANTY. SERVICE CALLED JEEP AREA MANAGER (FIAT CHRYSLER) JOSE? WHO SAID REPAIRS ARE NOT COVERED. WE SPOKE TO A PERSON NAMED JOY ON THE PHONE AT FIAT CHRYSLER WHO SAID THAT FIAT CHRYSLER JEEP STAND BEHIND THEIR AREA MANAGER. WE ASKED TO HAVE A COPY OF THE AREA MANAGER REPORT SENT TO US, SHE SAID THEY WON'T SEND IT TO US. BASED ON THE ATTACHED PICTURES, WE CANNOT TELL WHERE THIS IS A COSMETIC PROBLEM OR IF THE RUST WILL EAT THROUGH THE METAL AND CAUSE STRUCTURAL DETERIORATION WHICH COULD BE HAZARDOUS IN A COLLISION. WE WOULD LIKE YOU INVESTIGATE FOR POSSIBLE SAFETY HAZARD

THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING HAS COOLANT RESIDUE ON IT AND IS CRACKED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE JEEPS. THIS PART IS NOT A PART THAT CAN BE BROKEN THE ONLY REASON SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH IT IS THAT IT IS DEFECTED. MOPAR SHOULD BE REPLACING THESE PARTS.

MY JEEP HAS LESS THAN 21,000 MILES ON IT. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A COOLANT LEAK. THEY HAVEN'T FOUND THE COOLANT LEAK BUT THEY DID FIND AN OIL LEAK FROM THE OIL COOLER. THIS IS THE SECOND OIL LEAK FROM THE OIL COOLER. PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER, I WAS TOLD THIS IS A FREQUENT AND COMMON PROBLEM. THEY HAVE NOT FOUND THE SOURCE OF MY COOLANT LEAK. THIS CAR IS GENTLY DRIVEN BY MY WIFE AND IS UNMODIFIED IN ANY WAY.

THE OIL COOLER UNDER THE INTAKE, THE JEEP HAS 68K MILES ON IT, NEEDS A THIRD OIL COOLER, THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO COVER THEM UNDER WARRANTY, THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE THE FIRST YEAR I BOUGHT THE JEEP BRAND NEW. EVERY TIME THEY CRACK, OUT OF THE BLUE, NO WARNING, THE DRIVER IS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH SIX QUARTS OF OIL ALL OVER THE MOTOR, TRANS, EXHAUST AND GROUND.
