NHTSA Complaint #10818369 — 2014 JEEP WRANGLER

AS STATED ON WWW.JEEPPROBLEMS.COM/TSBS/WRANGLER/2014/ A REPORT OF A MALFUNCTION ON THE OIL ENGINE PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT HAS BEEN REPORTED AS MALFUNCTIONING. SEE BELOW. DATE REPORTED: JUNE 06, 2014 NHTSA REFERENCE: #10056046 TSB REFERENCE: #SB-18-034-14 DESCRIPTION: ON SOME MODEL VEHICLES AND JEEPS, (MY 2013-2014)MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) ILLUMINATES AND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IS SET REGARDING ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT. IN ORDER FOR US TO CORRECT THE ISSUE WE HAVE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE INTO THE JEEP FACILITY PAY $100.00 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK TO BE COMPLETED AND AN ADDITIONAL $252.00 FOR THE CIRCUIT TO BE CORRECTED AND REPLACED. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 47,000 ON IT AND AFTER WE SPOKE WITH JEEP CORPORATE THEY SPECIFIED THAT THE ONLY WAY THEY WOULD EVEN LOOK INTO IT IS FOR US TO HAS THE SERVICE DONE AND PROVIDE THEM WITH A TICKET NUMBER. THIS IS UNDERSTANDABLE BUT THE LOCAL JEEP COMPANY LOCATED IN JACKSONVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA ONLY HAS A NEXT AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT 5 DAYS FROM NOW ON JANUARY 11, 2016. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH US DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS THIS VEHICLE IS ALSO THE VEHICLE THAT TRANSPORTS A CHILD WITH A BRAIN INJURY FROM A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. SO FROM OUR UNDERSTANDING WE CAN EITHER DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD POSSIBLY LOCK UP BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH OIL PRESSURE TO IT, OR , WE CAN WAIT 5 DAYS WITH NOT DRIVING OUR VEHICLE AND HAVE THE MALFUNCTION CORRECTED. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE FOR FREE BECAUSE TECHNICALLY IT HAS NOT BEEN PLACED ON A RECALL LIST AS OF YET. THIS IS PUTTING FAMILIES IN DANGER AND UNCALLED FOR. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY THE COMPANY ITSELF.
