OIL FILTER ADAPTER, OIL COOLER, NOT SURE ON CORRECT TERMINOLOGY. PART NUMBER 68105583AA TO BE SPECIFIC. JUST GOT NORMAL MAINTENANCE AND MULTI POINT INSPECTION DONE AND 2 DAYS, 128 MILES LATER SMOKE STARTED GUSHING OUT FROM UNDER MY VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING TO GET LUNCH, GOT OUT AND SURE ENOUGH OIL WAS PROFUSELY LEAKING OUT OF THE BOTTOM. DROVE HOME IMMEDIATELY AND PARKED IT. HAD TO WAIT UNTIL MONDAY TO TRY AND DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. STARTED HER UP AND WITHIN 5 MINUTES HAD A PUDDLE THE SIZE OF A TIRE UNDERNEATH OF OIL. MANAGED TO GET HER TO THE DEALERSHIP WITHOUT ISSUE, BUT MY SYSTEM WAS TELLING ME I HAD 0% PILLS LIKE REMAINING. OIL HAD BEEN LEAKING OUT FROM ON TOP OF THE ENGINE WORRYING ME OF A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD BUT I MANAGED TO GET IT TO THE SHOP. APPARENTLY THIS PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THIS IS A WIDELY KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2014 MODELS SPECIFICALLY ALL CHRYSLER MADE VEHICLES WITH THIS ENGINE. $500 FIX IS NOT FUN WHEN IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE BY THE COMPANY WHO ON 2015 MODELS FIXED IT AND NEVER ADDRESSED OR WARNED 2014 MODEL OWNERS. *TR

ENGINE
ON 12/04/2016 I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT AROUND 80MPH WHEN A LOAD EXPLOSION STOPPED MY ENGINE. I IMMEDIATE STOPPED AS SMOKE STARTED TO COME INSIDE THE CABIN. AS SOON AS I EXITED THE VEHICLE I NOTICED A BIG FIRE UNDER THE CAR AND INSURE THE HOOD. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT USING 3 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS. THIS REALLY COULD'VE ESCALATED QUICKLY. I NOTICED A BIG HOLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE. LOOKS LIKE IT THREW A ROD SINCE THE OIL PRESSURE WAS LOW. PROBABLY DUE TO FAULTY OIL FILTER MOUNT. THE EXACT REASON FOR THE ENGINE FAILURE AND SUBSEQUENT FIRE HASN'T BEEN DETERMINED YET AS THE DEALER WILL OT LOOK AT IT UNTIL CHRYSLER SENDS AN INVESTIGATOR TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. CHRYSLER WILL NOT SEND AN INVESTIGATOR AND IS ASKING FOR THE DEALER TO LOOK AT IT. IT'S BEEN OVER 10 DAYS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. SO FAR, NEITHER PARTY HAS TAKEN THE ISSUE SERIOUSLY. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

ENGINE
I'VE NOTICED FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS LIKE LEAKAGE ON THE GROUND BUT HAVE YET TO PINPOINT THE EXACT LOCATION. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND ASKED IF THEY HAVE HAD ANY ISSUES WITH LEAKS AND DANCED AROUND THE QUESTION AND SAID I WOULD NEED TO LEAVE IT FOR A MECHANIC TO LOOK AT IT, I ASKED IF MY WARRANTY WAS STILL VALID AND THE HAD RAN MY VIN AND SAID IT WAS EXPIRED......WHICH IS PUZZLING CAUSE I HAVE AROUND 30K MILES ON IT. SO I STILL HAVE A MYSTERY LEAK AND READING UP ON DIFFERENT FORUMS SEEMS TO BE ON ONGOING ISSUES WITH COOLING OIL LINES OR OIL FILTER ADAPTER, OIL COOLER. *TR

3,6 OIL FILTER ADAPTER LEAKING. HAVE 38,000 ON VEHICLE, GOT OIL CHANGED ON MONDAY EVENING AND WEDNESDAY MORNING NOTICED A BURNED OIL SMELL AND A CLOUD OF SMOKE OFF MOTOR AFTER SHORT DRIVE TO WORK. HAVE OIL SLICK UNDERNEATH VEHICLE WHEN CAME OUT THAT AFTERNOON. WENT DIRECTLY BACK TO DEALERSHIP, AND THEY ADVISED THAT THEY HAD DONE NOTHING WRONG , BUT WAS A BAD OIL FILTER ADAPTER. I SEE A LOT OF THEM APPEAR TO FAIL, BUT THE TIMING IS SUSPECT. HAS THE REPLACEMENT PART BEEN UPGRADED TO PREVENT FUTURE FAILURES?

I HAVE A WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED 2014. AROUND 48,000 MILES I SMELLED BURNING OIL AN NOTICED OIL LEAKING UNDER THE CARRIAGE WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE OIL COOLER WAS LEAKING. THE ENGINE WAS FILLED WITH OIL. THEY REPLACED THE OIL COOLER AND ADAPTER. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. I HOPE JEEP REPLACED THE DAMAGED PART WITHONE THAT WILL PREVENT THE PROBLEM FROM REOCCURRING.

BURNING SMELL FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, TOOK IT IN AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE MY OIL COOLER. ENGINE WAS FILLED WITH OIL AND IT WAS A MAJOR LEAK FROM THE BACK. PART #68105583-AE WAS PUT IN IT'S PLACE AND I HAVE A SNEAKING SUSPICION IT WAS PART #68105583-AA THAT WAS BROKEN SINCE IT WAS MADE OUT OF PLASTIC! MY JEEP HAS 32K MILES, AND IS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THIS IS TOO MUCH! RECALL PLEASE!

ENGINE
I RECENTLY STARTING TO SMELL BURNING OIL IN MY JEEP. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT, AND FIGURED THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A MINOR SPILL OR THE OLD OIL WAS BURNING OFF AFTER MY RECENT OIL CHANGE. BUT AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS, THE SMELL REMAINED AND I NOTICED AN OIL STAIN WHERE I PARK THIS JEEP IN MY DRIVEWAY. I THEN THOUGHT THAT MAYBE MY MECHANIC FAILED TO PROPERLY INSTALL MY OIL FILTER AFTER THE LAST OIL CHANGE. BUT TURNS OUT, THE OIL FILTER HOUSING WAS LEAKING OIL. THIS IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS AND NOW HAS TO BE REPLACED. AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THIS PART IS MADE FROM PLASTIC AND HAS CAUSED MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS SPECIFIC MODEL YEAR. MY SISTER, WHO HAS THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL ALSO HAD TO HAVE HERS REPLACED. I ONLY HAVE 50K HIGHWAY MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS A DIFFERENT PART NUMBER, SO JEEP MAY HAVE MADE A MODIFICATION TO THE PART. I HOPE SO!

POWER TRAIN, STEERING, SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE, WHICH WAS 3 DAYS NEW TO US, EXHIBITED THE CLASSIC JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND ONLY STOPPED ONCE THE BRAKE WAS ACTIVATED. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES BEFORE THE ALIGNMENT WAS RIGHTED AND A PART REPLACED.

2014 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON 3.6. OIL FILTER ADAPTER LEAKING OIL. VEHICLE HAS LESS THEN 20 THOUSAND MILES ON IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. TOOK IT IN TWO DAYS AGO SHOWED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT PICTURES OF THE OIL ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. AFTER READING CONSUMER COMPLAINTS (2014 JEEP WRANGLER 3.6) I TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO LOOK AT THE OIL FILTER ADAPTER. SERVICE DEPARTMENT CALLED ME THE NEXT DAY AND SAID " YOU HAVE A OIL LEAK FROM THE OIL FILTER ADAPTER". IS THIS GOING TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM? WILL I HAVE TO REPLACE THIS PART EVERY 20 THOUSAND MILES? I REACHED OUT TO CHRYSLER TWICE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE GOTTEN KNOW RESPONSE. I FEEL THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR AND ENGINE FIRE IF CHRYSLER DOES NOT COME UP WITH A PERMANENT FIX.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN PUMPING GAS, THE FILL TANK WILL FILL UP AND OVERFLOW, CAUSING GAS TO SPILL OUT ALL OVER THE VEHICLE. THE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST 60,000 MILES. EVERY OTHER JEEP MODEL HAS HAD THIS FUEL FILTER RECALLED, EXCEPT THE NEWER WRANGLER. GAS PUMPING TAKE OVER 10 MINUTES TO FILL OVERTIME. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THEY CHARGED ME $90 TO TELL ME THE FILTER NEED REPLACING AND WOULD LIKE ANOTHER $89 TO DO SO.
