Takara recall the oil cooler housing is leaking which is causing oil to run down and spray all over underneath the engine and trans, causing smome. I'm seeing hundreds of post about the same issue.
Oil filter cooler adapter leaking and due to the placement of the unit intake manifold must be removed. Oil leaking and covering undercarriage and exhaust, appears to be a chronic and well documented problem with the 3.6 penstar engine. After a little research the unit appears to be a well known issue. Time for Chrysler to step up.
The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. While driving various speeds, the vehicle suddenly shut off. The vehicle was taken to iverson max Jeep (101 2nd St, huron, sd) where it was diagnosed that the camshaft sensor was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired and the failure was remedied. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 110,000.
The oil filter housing on the V6 3.6L penstar failed, allowing oil to leak directly onto the intake manifold while the vehicle is running. From there the oil drained down the back of the engine, down the transmission and onto the exhaust system. From personal experience I know this to be a fire hazard. Based on my own research this failure is a known problem with this year model and resulted in the manufacturer making changes on later models. However, this does address the thousands of vehicles still on the road. Part number seems to be 68105583aa.
Oil filter/ cooler cracked and leaking oil. Jeep states I was 16days outside the powertrain warranty and will not help cover costs to repair well known issue for 3.6L pentastar engine

I recently drove my Jeep about 14 hours roundtrip for thanksgiving. I checked the oil right before because I knew an oil change was coming up, but it was still fine so I didn't worry about it. On the way home, the 'change oil soon' light came on, so I checked it again when I got home and it was completely dry! I'm not really sure how it was still running. I put more oil in it and took it to the dealer and they found a crack in the oil cooler. I hadn't had an issue with leaking until this point, but I heard others with the same type of car have had the same issue.
I developed a oil leak due to the known issue with the oil cooler/filter housing developing a crack on my 2014 Jeep Wrangler unlimited. This is causing oil to drip on the exhaust while driving and posing a fire risk.
Started up my vehicle to take daughter to the bus. Drove 20 yards to the road to wait on the bus backed up my Jeep and shut it off after she got on the bus. Oil was everywhere. Took it to the mechanic and the oil filter housing cooler or whatever he called it was broken. Apparently from what he told me and what I read this is an extremely common problem for the 2014 model. Knowing it's a common problem and a vital piece of the Jeep functionality, why is it made of plastic and why is there no recall on it? my Jeep literally lost all oil.
The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. While driving various speeds, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to mclarty daniel Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (2201 SE moberly ln, bentonville, ar 72712, (479) 250-3900) where it was diagnosed that the engine oil pressure sensor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the VIN was not included in a recall; therefore, the contact would be responsible for the repairs. The failure mileage was 46,000.
Noticed oil on my driveway two months after a routine oil change. Took to the dealer and the oil filter housing was cracked. Jeep only had 41K miles on it, resulting in a $1050 repair cost to replace. I normally take it to an oil change place (mr good lube), but they refused to work on my Jeep this time since they were aware of this oil filter housing issue (and I am guessing have been blamed). I took it to my normal mechanic instead for the oil change. Two months later, the oil started leaking so was forced to take it to the dealer.
At about 30,000 miles while on a highway my Jeep suddenly smelled like it was burning and I lost acceleration on it. Took it to my life time mechanic and he told me that there was oil sludge everywhere on the engine. He changed the oil out, cleaned out the engine but didn't find any issues with the oil tank or hoses. A year later, now at 40,000 miles, my check engine light suddenly comes on. Mechanic reads a "misfire" error. He changes out all my spark plugs, the ignition coil and the plenum gasket. Cleans out the fuel injectors and the car is humming beautifully again. But 5 days later, again the check engine light comes on. Mechanic checks everything he did and can't find anything wrong. He researched and thinks it could be the exhaust valve seats being worn out. Recommends I take it to the dealership. Low and behold, they discover that a cylinder head needs to be completely replaced! apparently an issue they keep encountering frequently in this model. I've seen it posted on a bunch of threads regarding Jeep. Thank goodness I was 4 days away from my 5 year warranty to expire when this happened!!!! I think there should be a recall on all the 2014 Jeep to make sure this issue is resolved once and for all. My VIN did not show a recall per your system, but all 2014 Jeep should be checked since it's occurring so frequently, and people will be out of their warranty soon with that year's model.
Oil pressure switch has gone out. My Jeep has less than 50,000 miles on it. The oil pressure is fine and yet I need to replace this $45 switch which will I'm being told will take 4 hours by the dealership to replace. This came on after my last oil change. Discovered the issue when my check engine light came on with a code 520. Parts manager stated this happens frequently and on cars with less tha. 10,000 miles.
