2014 JEEP WRANGLER Engine Problems

ENGINE OIL LEAK (FIRE HAZARD). THE ENGINE OIL FILTER HOUSING (PART NUMBER 68105583AA) IS WIDELY REPORTED TO FAULTY BY OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE YEAR (2014). THIS PART CRACKS UNDER ROUTINE DRIVING AND LEAKS ENGINE OIL ONTO HOT SYSTEM COMPONENTS, SUCH AS THE EXHAUST CROSS OVER AND TRANSMISSION, WHERE THE OIL BURNS AND CREATES A FIRE HAZARD. MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS HAVE NOTICED THIS SMOKE BEFORE IT IGNITED. HOWEVER OTHERS HAVE REPORTED A FIRE. THE OIL LEAK GENERALLY OCCURS WHEN THE ENGINE HAS COME UP TO TEMPERATURE AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION LONG ENOUGH TO REACH NORMAL OPERATING OIL PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE. THE PROBLEM OCCURS IF THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, REGARDLESS OF ROAD CONDITIONS. THE LEAK IS NOT IMMEDIATELY DETECTED BY A LOW OIL PRESSURE, HIGH TEMPERATURE, OR OTHER SIMILAR WARNING, FURTHER INCREASING THE FIRE RISK. FURTHER, THE LEAKING OIL POSSES AN ENVIRONMENTAL DANGER AND IS...

2014 JEEP WRANGLER PENTASTAR OIL COOLER LEAKS WHICH POURS ONTO EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND STARTS ON FIRE. HAPPENED TO ME COMING HOME FROM WORK. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY AND I PUT IT OUT WITH MY EXTINGUISHER. OIL EVERYWHERE LEAKING DOWN ENGINE AND ON THE UNDER CARRIAGE. CAUGHT IT IN TIME AND NOTHING ELSE WAS EFFECTED. GOOD THING I WASN'T ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY WHOLE FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE. FCA US LLC SHOULD FIX THIS ISSUE. VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY WHEN UNEXPECTED. PLEASE FCA US LLC FIX THIS ISSUE SO IT NO LONGER HAPPENS TO OTHER FAMILIES. CAUSE IT SURE LOOKS LIKE IT'S A PROBLEM.

THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FAULTY OIL COOLERS THAT A BUNCH OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING AND JEEP SHOULD BE FIXING THESE AS A FAULTY PART. MANY OWNERS OF THE 2014 MODELS AND POSSIBLY OTHER MODELS HAVE EXPERIENCED CRACKED OIL COOLER HOUSINGS.

VEHICLE ONLY HAS ABOUT 66K MILES AND AFTER A NEW OIL CHANGE, I COULD HEAR A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE BAY. AFTER TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC AND RESEARCHING FOR SIMILAR ISSUES FROM OTHER JEEP OWNERS. IT SEEMS THE 3.6L PENTASTAR ENGINE IS NOTORIOUS FOR HAVING A CAMSHAFT OR LIFTER GO BAD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOVE PREOWNED AUTOCENTER (4401 S PADRE ISLAND DR, CORPUS CHRISTI, TX 78411), TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE RECEIVED A NEW COMPUTER AND THE RELAY PANEL WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND REMAINED AT THE DEALER UNREPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 71,452.

TOOK IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND THEY FOUND A LEAK IN THE BACK OF THE ENGINE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DRIPPING DOWN AFTER THE OIL CHANGE. COULD NOT FIND WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM.

CRACK IN OIL FILTER HOUSEING

MY JEEP STALLED TWICE WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. WOULD NOT START IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING EACH EVENT. LOSS OF BRAKES AND POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED CREATED SAFETY HAZARD TO ME AND SURROUNDING DRIVERS.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND LOST POWER LIKE IT DROPPED INTO NEUTRAL. PULL OVER TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND BY TIME I STOPPED HAD SMOKE COMING INTO THE CAB. GOT OUT AND SAW FLAMES IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT. CALLED POLICE AND FIRE BUT VEHICLE WAS TOTAL LOSS.*DT CONSUMER STATED THERE WERE NO ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND NO ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. FLAMES WERE COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE.*JB

THE PLASTIC OIL FILTER HOUSING CRACKED AT ABOUT 26,000 MILES CAUSING A MAJOR ENGINE OIL LEAK FROM THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. OIL HAS LEAKED DOWN AND SPLATTERED ALL OVER THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE TRANSMISSION AND EXHAUST PIPE CAUSING SIGNIFICANT SMOKING AND A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE ON 3.6L PENTASTAR V6 ENGINES AND THE THE ONLY FIX IS A REPLACEMENT OF THE PART AT A COST OF $830.

THE OIL FILTER ADAPTER IN MY JEEP WRANGLER CRACKED DOOR IS BROKEN AND IS CAUSING OIL TO LEAK INTO MY COOLER AND DAMAGE THAT

LOUD TICKING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF ENGINE. A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH MANY MODEL YEARS OF JEEPS. I WAS TOLD I DO NOT HAVE THE WARRANTY ANY LONGER BECAUSE MY WARRANTY FOR THE VEHICLE STARTED IN 2013. IF I DID, THIS KNOWN ISSUE WOULD NOT BE COVERED. SHOP WANTED 3K DOLLARS TO REPAIR. SOUND HAPPENS WITH CAR RUNNING ALL THE TIME IN DRIVE OR JUST IDLE. GETS LOUDER AS I ACCELERATE.

WHEN MY 2014 JEEP WRANGLER JKU IS RUNNING, THERE IS A LOUD ENGINE TICKING NOISE THAT IS COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE ENGINE. IT IS A LIFTER THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE CAM. THE JEEP RUNS FINE, BUT THE NOISE IS TROUBLING. IT'S A COSTLY REPAIR!

MOTOR HAS A CONSTANT TIC SEEMS TO BE GETTING LOUDER AS TIME GOES ON

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD MY MECHANIC SHOP CHECK THE CODES AND THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR THAT IS MOUNTED IN THE OIL FILTER HOUSING WENT OUT AT 64000 MILES. THE REPAIRS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE SINCE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WILL NEED TO BE REMOVED TO REPLACE THE PARTS. THE OIL FILTER HOUSING WHICH THE OIL PRESSURE MOUNTS INTO WILL ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED SINCE IT WAS LEAKING. THE SHOP ADVISED THEY HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS AND THE ISSUE WAS VERY COMMON.

THE PLASTIC OIL FILTER HOUSING CRACKED AT ABOUT 80,000 MILES CAUSING A MAJOR ENGINE OIL LEAK FROM THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. OIL HAS LEAKED DOWN AND SPLATTERED ALL OVER THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE EXHAUST PIPE CAUSING SIGNIFICANT SMOKING AND A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE ON 3.6L PENTASTAR V6 ENGINES AND THE ONLY FIX IS A REPLACEMENT OF THE PART. THE MECHANIC ALSO PROVIDED HIS OPINION THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE IS A POOR DESIGN DUE TO MATERIAL DURABILITY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AT ITS REGULAR INTERVALS AND HAS RECEIVED LIGHT TO MODERATE USE OVER ITS LIFETIME SO FAR WITH MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. *TR

WHILE SITTING AT AN INTERSECTION, WE COULD SMELL BURNING OIL AND SMOKE. GOT THE JEEP HOME AND FOUND A STEADY DRIP OF OIL AROUND BELL HOUSING. FOUND THAT ENGINE VALLEY IS OVERFLOWING WITH OIL, OIL FILTER ADAPTER HOUSING FAILURE AND CAUSING OIL TO LEAK ONTO HOT ENGINE CREATING INTENSE SMOKE. FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE ON CHRYSLER/JEEP 3.6 LITER PENTASTAR ENGINES AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. THE REPAIR FOR THIS COMMON ENVIRONMENTAL FIRE HAZARD IS COSTLY. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL?

THE LIFTERS ARE SOUNDING AND CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO MAL FUNCTION OR STOP WORKING ALL TOGETHER. I KNOW OF 2 OTHER PEOPLE CLOSE TO ME THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO ALSO. *TR

I WAS JUST STARTING A DRIVE HOME WHEN SUDDENLY MY CARS "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON AND IT REFUSED TO GO HIGHER THAN 3RD GEAR. WITHIN MINUTES, MY ENGINE WAS STARTING TO OVERHEAT. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO COAST INTO A NEARBY AUTO REPAIR PLACE FOR THEM TO CHECK THINGS OUT. THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT MY OIL COOLING HOUSING CRACKED AND HAS BEEN LEAKING OIL EVERYWHERE, INCLUDING THE UNDERCARRIAGE (WHICH I'M TOLD IS A FIRE HAZARD). THEY ALSO SAID IT'S A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2014 MODELS AND THEY'RE SHOCKED JEEP HASN'T ISSUED A RECALL ON IT. I LATER DID SOME READING AND FOUND HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THIS FAULTY PART INSTEAD OF MAKING ALL OF US PAY $750+ TO FIX IT. *TR

I OWN A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SPORT. WENT FOR MY OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO REPLACE THE OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY BECAUSE IT CRACKED AND IS LEAKING OIL AND THE ENGINE OIL IS POOLING IN THE PAN. AT THE TUNE OF $1200. I WENT HOME AND FOUND THIS IS MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH HUNDREDS/ THOUSANDS HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2014 WRANGLERS. I SEE JUST A FEW WHO HAD THIS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT NOT WITHOUT A HASSLE FROM DEALERSHIPS. MOST, LIKE MYSELF ARE TOLD IT'S NOT COVERED. 5 YEAR/ 100,000 MI. NOW 6 YEARS. I BELIEVE I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR AWHILE BUT NOW AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED IT'S BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION. THE PROBLEM LIES WITH A PIECE CHANGED FROM METAL TO PLASTIC. IT CRACKED AND WILL BE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER PLASTIC PIECE THAT WILL MOST LIKELY CRACK AGAIN. IF THAT'S NOT BAD...

OIL FILTER HOUSING/COOLER SEEMS TO BE LEAKING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. I AM NOT SURE HOW LONG THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING BUT IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. *TR

TICKING NOISES WHEN VEHICLE IN MOTION FOR HIGHWAY DRIVING AND CITY DRIVING. LEFT CYLINDER HEAD CRACKS. *TR

OIL COOLER/OIL FILTER HOUSING AND GASKETS HAVE A KNOWN DEFECT THAT CAUSES OIL TO LEAK ONTO AND INTO ENGINE COMPONENTS, SUCH AS THE RADIATOR, CAUSING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. JEEP/CHRYSLER/DODGE/RAM TECHS KNOW THAT THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT, AND THE LEAKING OIL CAN AND DOES BURN, WHICH CAN LEAD TO A TOTAL ENGINE FIRE!!! I FIRST NOTICED THE ISSUE WHEN I SMELLED BURNING OIL. THINKING IT WAS JUST A MINOR ISSUE THAT COULD BE FIXED WHENEVER I HAD THE FREE TIME, I CONTINUED DRIVING FOR ANOTHER WEEK OR TWO UNTIL SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE! I FINALLY TOOK IT IN BECAUSE THERE WAS WAY TOO MUCH SMOKE TO BE SAFE (FIRE?). THE TECH THAT WORKED ON MY JEEP, MIKE POLLARD, SAYS HE SEES THIS ISSUE ALL THE TIME, ADVISED ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND THEN FILE FOR REIMBURSEMENT WITH THEIR CORPORATE OFFICE...

MY VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED. OIL LEAKED ALL OVER THE ENGINE AND ONTO MY GARAGE FLOOR FROM A FAULTY ENGINE OIL COOLER & INTAKE GASKET SET. THIS WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR THAT I CAN'T AFFORD. MY MECHANIC (SMALL SHOP) FIXES THIS SAME REPAIR 2-3 TIMES A WEEK. THAT IS RIDICULOUS AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO REIMBURSE JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS THAT HAVE A HUGE OIL SPILLS TO CLEAN UP.

OIL ADAPTER HOUSING CRACKED FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 6 MONTHS. 1ST TIME CAUSED EXTERNAL LEAK AND IT WAS REPLACED.THIS TIME CRACKED AGAIN BUT INTERNALLY CAUSING OIL TO LEAK INTO COOLANT. CAUSED $3200 WORTH OF DAMAGE AND HAD TO HAVE COOLANT SYSTEM REPLACED AS WELL AS HEATER COIL AND HOSES. I KNOW OF 7 OTHER JEEP WRANGLERS THIS HAS HAPPENED TO RECENTLY.

CRACKED "OIL FILTER HOUSING ADAPTER." CAUSING OIL TO LEAK ALL OVER THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE, COULD POTENTIALLY START A FIRE.

OIL COOLING FILTER HOUSING CRACKING/LEAKING ON 2014 MODEL WRANGLER JKU. EEP HAS A KNOWN EPIC FAILURE IS DESIGN FLAW IN ITS 2014 WRANGLER WHEN IT SWITCHED FROM A METAL OIL FILTER COOLER HOUSING TO A PLASTIC OIL FILTER COOLER HOUSING. HUNDREDS OF CASES OF THE PART BREAKING/LEAKING OIL ALL OVER LOWER ENGINE AND EXHAUST WHICH IS A FIRE HAZARD

NOTICED OIL ON THE GARAGE FLOOR IN JANUARY 2020. ENGINE IS LEAKING OIL FROM THE OIL COOLER THAT IS ON TOP ON THE ENGINE. COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD AS OIL DRAINS DOWN THE BACK OF THE ENGINE. VEHICLE HAS 86000 MILES ON IT BUT HAS BEEN LEAKING FOR A WHILE. NOW IT IS LEAKING VERY BAD AND CAN SMELL BURNT OIL WHEN DRIVING. LOOKING ON FORUMS ONLINE AND MANY 2014 TO 2016 3.6 ENGINES HAVE THIS ISSUE. ISSUE SEAMS TO BE FROM FAULTY GASKETS AND IN SOME CASES CRACKED HOUSINGS ON THE OIL COOLER. MINE IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. I THOUGHT IT WAS FROM THE OIL PAN GASKET AT FIRST, BUT WHEN I STARTED TO SMELL OIL BURNING, I STARTED LOOKING CLOSER AT IT AND FOUND OIL LAYING IN THE VALLEY ON TOP OF THE ENGINE.

THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON A REAR MAIN SEAL LEAK. MY VEHICLE IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO 150K MILES ITS BARELY AT 90K AND ALREADY HAVING A LEAK ISSUE. I WAS READING ONLINE THAT CERTAIN JEEPS RIGHT AT 16K WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS COSTLY AND IT IS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE THAT MY VEHICLE GOES FROM BEING GOOD TO DRIVE TO HEY NOW YOU HAVE A REAR MAIN SEAL LEAK AND IT WILL COST YOU AROUND 850 PLUS DOLLARS. IT LEAKED OIL IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY SOMEONE TO CLEAR THAT UP.

JEEP STARTED LEAKING OIL AT 57000 MILES OIL LEAK WAS DUE TO A KNOWN PART FAILURE THE OIL HOUSING WHICH IS PLASTIC AND CAN EASILY CRACK. VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN SERVICED AT DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS BOUGHT. OIL HOUSING LOCATED UNDER MANIFOLD, OIL LEAK CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE WHEN IT SPLATTERS ON MANIFOLD. JEEP KNOWS THIS PART CAN FAIL AT ANY TIME.

OIL COOLER FAILED AND CAUSED COMPLETE DISSPURSMENT OF OIL WHILE DRIVING. OIL LEAKED ALL OVER THE UNDERSIDE AND REAR OF VEHICLE. THIS COULD CASUE AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE IN THE ENGINE BAY. REPLACED IN OCTOBER 2019. WORKED TILL FEB 2020 NOW IT IS LOEAKING AND THE RESERVOIR FOR OIL COOLER IS SHOWING POOLING... AGAIN. THIS PART IS MADE OF CHEAP NON HEAT MANAGABLE MATERIALS. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THIS REPLACEMENT IS NOT CHEAP OR AN EASY TASK.

OIL FILTER ADAPTER COOLER ON TOP OF THE ENGINE, LEAKING, FILLING THE VALLEY WITH 2 INCHES OF OIL IN SOME PLACES. COULD CAUSE FIRE AND OIL SPILLING OVER THE EXHAUST. OIL RUNS DOWN THE BELL HOUSING DOWN THE TRANSMISSION AND ACROSS THE CROSSMEMBER. WHEN YOU STOP YOU CAN SMELL BITING OIL, DUE TO THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE PARKED THE CONTACT DETECTED OIL LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THE OIL COOLER FILTER HOUSING NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO OURISMAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM 12430 AUTO DR, CLARKSVILLE, MD 21029 (410) 988-8100 WHERE DIAGNOSED THE OIL COOLER FILTER HOUSING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

SAME AS ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE'S COMPLAINTS AND I'M VERY SHOCKED THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR AN ISSUE THAT IS SUCH AN ON GOING PROBLEM, MY OIL COOLER IS LEAKING ONCE AGAIN ON MY 2014 JEEP WRANGLER JK AND I'VE ALREADY SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND NOW GOING THROUGH THIS ONCE AGAIN IT IS STRAIGHT BULL CRAP. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND CAME TO A STOP LIGHT AND NOTICED A TON OF WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH MY HOOD AND I THOUGH NO WAY NOT AGAIN BUT TO MY SURPRISE I WAS RIGHT OIL WAS SITTING IN THE VALLEY RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE BLACK OIL RESERVOIR. THE DATE BELOW IS WHEN I NOTICES IT FOR THE 2ND TIME...1/15/2020

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT DECODES TO A CYLINDER MISFIRE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE CYLINDER HAD LOW COMPRESSION. IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME WELL OVER $2000 TO FIX IT. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE ENGINES, SO MUCH SO THAT CHRYSLER ISSUED A TSB ON IT, HOWEVER THE TSB ONLY COVERS UP TO 2013 AND MINE IS A 2014. APPARENTLY THEY THOUGHT THEY FIXED IT, BUT PERHAPS THEY DIDN'T GET IT QUITE RIGHT, OR DIDN'T COVER ENOUGH YEARS. SEE CHRYSLER JEEP TSB 09-002-14 FOR REFERENCE. PLEASE NOTE WHILE THIS ISSUE DID NOT CAUSE AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY CONCERN, MY RESEARCH INDICATES THAT NOT FIXING IT PROMPTLY WILL CAUSE UN-BURNT FUEL TO PASS THROUGH THE ENGINE WHICH IS LIKELY TO CAUSE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE. DUE TO THE EXTREME...

WHILE DRIVING I OBSERVED SMOKE WAS COMING OUT FROM MY VEHICLE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WITH THE ODOR OF BURNING OIL. I WAS JUST AROUND THE CORNER FROM MY HOUSE SO AS I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY I LOOKED UNDER MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED OIL DRIPPING FROM UNDER THE ENGINE ON TO THE EXHAUST PIPE. I AM AWARE THAT 2014 JEEP WRANGLERS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL FILTER HOUSING CRACKING OVER TIME. I OPENED MY HOOD AND LOOKED AT THE OIL FILTER HOUSING AND THERE WAS OIL ALL OVER THE TOP OF THE MOTOR. I WENT TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS YEAR WRANGLER HAS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS AND THAT THERE IS NO RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A SAFETY ISSUE LIKE THIS THAT MOPAR HAS NOT BEEN CALLED ON THE CARPET FOR A FIRE HAZARD LIKE THIS AND THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE...

I OWN A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER JK WITH 47800 MILES. THE ENGINE OIL COOLER HAS FAILED AND COVERED DRIVEWAY WITH OIL. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THEY CHOOSE NOT TO FIX. DO NOT BUY THIS VEHICLE

OIL COOLER HAD A MAJOR LEAK OIL ON TOP OF ENGINE WAS EASILY A QUART. REST OF THE OIL HAD TRAVELED DOWN THE TRANSMISSION AND COVERED ALMOST THE ENTIRETY OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND EXHAUST. I NOTICED THE LEAK BY A STRONG SMOKEY OIL ODOR AS THE OIL HIT THE EXHAUST. THE OIL COOLER WAS REPLACED AND MUST HAVE ALSO CAUSED A LEAK IN THE COOLANT BECAUSE THE RESERVOIR WAS NEAR EMPTY. WAITING TO SEE IF THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE COOLANT LEAK.

THE OIL FILTER/COOLER HOUSING IS KNOWN TO LEAK ALLOWING OIL TO RUN DOWN ENGINE ONTO EXHAUST CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD.

I RECENTLY HAD A CHANGE OIL INDICATOR GO OFF, EARLIER THAN ANTICIPATED. WHILE PERFORMING THE OIL CHANGE, I REALIZED THERE WAS OIL ALL OVER THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY ON THE BOTTOM OF THE TRANSMISSION. I CLEANED UP AND PERFORMED THE OIL CHANGE. TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME THING. FRESH OIL EVERYWHERE. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH AND A TRIP TO THE DEALER, THE CONCLUSION WAS A BAD OIL FILTER ADAPTER ASSEMBLY. THIS IS BEYOND COMMON ON A 2014 WRANGLER. INSANE THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PART. COME ON JEEP, GET IT TOGETHER AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I LOVE MY JEEP. BUT RIGHT IS RIGHT. THIS IS BEYOND A BIG FIRE CONCERN!!!!

OIL COOLER / FILTER HOUSING IS LEAKING OIL DOWN TRANSMISSION AN ONTO THE EXHAUST. CAUSED SMOKE AND NAUSEOUS FUMES TO ENTER THE CABIN. FIRE HAZARD!!!! NOTICED THE FUMES WHILE DRIVING. INSPECTED THE UNDERCARRIAGE A FOUND OIL LEAKING DOWN TRANSMISSION ONTO THE EXHAUST. INSPECTED ENGINE BAY AND FOUND THE OIL POOLING AROUND THE OIL FILTER/COOLER HOUSING.

NO OIL PRESSURE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON,NOISE FROM THE ENGINE LIFTERS KNOCKING NOW THE DEALER SHOWS ME DIRT ON THE INTAKE MANIFOLD COVER AND THAT IS WAY THE ENGINE SEIZED. THE OIL SENSOR NOT WORKING I SAID.

MY OIL COOLER WENT OUT AT 40,000 MILES WHICH I BELIEVE CAUSED MY HEAD GASKET TO BLOW.

TICKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. THE NOISE BECOMES LOUDER WHEN THE ENGINE GETS WARM, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS CLOSE TO A WALL OR OTHER VEHICLES. DIAGNOSTIC FROM DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS DUE TO ROCKER ARM FAILURES.

THERE IS OIL LEAKING FROM UNDER MY JEEP AND A BURNING SMELL THAT SMELLS LIKE BURNT TIRES. I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE OIL HOUSING LEAKING. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND VERY DANGEROUS.

OIL LEAKING FROM THE OIL COOLER. I NOTICED OIL ON THE TRANSMISSION AND UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND THE LEAK COMING FROM THE OIL COOLER BELOW THE OIL FILTER HOUSING. VEHICLE HAS 56,000 MILES ON IT

THE ENGINE OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY IS LEAKING A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL INTO THE "V" OF THE ENGINE AND DRIPPING ON TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR OVER A WEEK AND UPON DRIVING SMOKE WITH THE SMELL OF BURNING OIL FILLED THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED FOR FIRE AND DAMAGE. IT WAS NOTED THAT THE TRANSMISSION, FRAME RAILS, AND EXHAUST PIPES WERE COVERED IN OIL AND THE VEHICLE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2.5 QUARTS LOW ON OIL. NO PRIOR SIGNS OF AN OIL LEAK WERE PRESENT BEFORE THE SMOKE AND BURN OIL SMELL WAS NOTICED DURING NORMAL USE OF THE VEHICLE.

OIL FILTER HOUSING IS LEAKING, CAUSING COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF ENGINE OIL TO LEAK OVER THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION AND DROPPING DOWN ON TO ENGINE EXHAUST CAUSING IT SMOKE AND EMIT NOXIOUS FUMES INTO THE VEHICLE CABIN. POTENTIAL FOR FIRE IS EXTREMELY HIGH, I HAD TO PULL OVER AND EXIT VEHICLE DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF SMOKE COMING INTO THE CABIN FROM THE UNDERNEATH. UPON INVESTIGATING I INITIALLY THOUGHT MY TRANSMISSION HAD BLOWN A LINE BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH OIL WAS COATING THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE JEEP.

WHILE DRIVING NOTICED AN OIL BURNING SMELL, GOT HOME AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND FOUND A POOL OF ENGINE OIL. FOUND OUT FROM OWNER OF THE SAME CAR THAT A BROKEN OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSE THE CAR TO BURN- VERY DANGEROUS INDEED. HAPPENS IN LOTS OF CHRYSLER'S VEHICLES

ANOTHER 2014 JEEP WRANGLER OWNER WITH A CRACKED OIL FILTER HOUSING/COOLING ASSEMBLY. OIL IS SPILLING OUT ALL OVER EXHAUST. CERTAINLY A FIRE HAZARD. WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS PARTICULAR PART THAT I HAVE SEEN ALL OVER JEEP FORMING AND ON THE NHTSA SITE I AM SURPRISED THAT CHRYSLER HAS NOT TAKEN ANY ACTION BUT IS LEAVING THIS TO THEIR OWNERS TO RECTIFY.
