NHTSA Complaint #11022590 — 2014 JEEP WRANGLER

VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER REGULAR SERVICE AT THE DEALER. RETURNED TO HAVE IT CHECKED, WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. THE LOCATION OF THE SENSOR REQUIRES REMOVAL OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD, FUEL INJECTOR'S AND RAILS, ETC., RESULTING IN APPROX. 4 HOURS OF LABOR AT THE DEALER. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THEY HAVE "SEEN THOUSANDS OF THESE SENSOR'S FAIL ON THE 3.6 ENGINE". THERE IS A TSB; 18-034-14 REV. A, DOCUMENTING COMPLAINTS. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS 41K MILES ON IT, THE DEALER WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE FACT THERE APPARENTLY IS NO RECALL ON THIS DEFECTIVE ITEM. I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD DO NOTHING, EXCEPT FOR PUT IN A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE DEALER. I TOLD THEM THAT THE DEALER IS NOT THE PROBLEM, IT IS THE MANUFACTURER WHO REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL DESPITE THE FACT THERE ARE NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF THIS PART FAILING ACROSS THEIR PRODUCT LINE. WAS TOLD TO COMPLAIN TO NHTSA.
