I noticed oil leaking from my Jeep, found significant amount of oil under Jeep. Immediately brought to my mechanic for review. They indicated that the oil cooler was leaking a good amount of oil and needed to be replaced. Unfortunately there are over 50,000 oil coolers on a 2 month backorder! my mechanic said it is a known problem for all 2014 V6 engines.

Oil cooling house is cracked, due to extremely cold weather in Oklahoma. Oil is leaking and there is a burning smell when driving. At this point in time, this oem part is on back order, causing a safety issue with driving. The chance of an engine fire / blown engine due to low oil. Being a Jeep owner this back order is unacceptable. At this time, I have an estimate for $1600 in repairs to fix this issue with a Jeep dealer in town

During the winter storm in Texas temperatures where below 0. my family was without power and need to evacuate. After starting the engine I started to smell burning oil with the engine idling. I noticed there was engine oil dripping from transmission, driveshafts and skid plates. I traced the oil back up to the engine and then further to the top of the engine. There is engine oil and coolant pooled in the valley between the engine heads, underneath the intake manifold. The oil filter/cooler assembly is leaking either the O-rings are bad or the plastic housing has cracked. Researching I found this has been an issue for some time. Clearly a manufacturers defect. Why no recalls? plus the part from retailers state the the part is no longer available for purchase.

Running errands in the Jeep I started to smell burning oil while stopped with the engine idling. Returned home to notice there was engine oil dripping from transmission, driveshafts and skid plates. I traced the oil back up to the engine and then further to the top of the engine. There is engine oil and coolant pooled in the valley between the engine heads, underneath the intake manifold. The diagnosis is the oil filter/cooler assembly. Either the O-rings are bad or the plastic housing has cracked. The Jeep is out of warranty for both the bumper to bumper and the powertrain. However, the Jeep has less than 50K miles on the odometer. The repair will be done by my self as my abilities are competent and I refuse to pay $1200 dollars for a mechanic or dealership to perform this task, particularly seeing the total cost of parts is less than $250. Fca should be held responsible as leaks in the lubricating and cooling system could result in catastrophic engine failure, vehicle fires, loss of life or great bodily harm and harm to surrounding individuals, property and/or the environment. Sounds like enough to warrant a recall, if you ask me.
I noticed a large puddle of oil when moving vehicle from parked position. There was no indicator on vehicle that it was low on oil. When checking the oil level in the vehicle, there was none showing on the dip stick. All oil had leaked out of vehicle. We had the vehicle taken to a local dealership. We were told that this is a common problem with this year/make/model. It was the oil filter housing defective releasing all oil from vehicle. This part is on national back order and not expected to be available for 45 or more days. This tells me that it is a problem with the manufacturing of the vehicle. What if I had not noticed the oil that had leaked out and my the engine lock up while driving on a busy highway.
Rocker arms were replaced at 88,000 miles and now at 110,000 they need replaced again. Oil changes done at every 3000 miles due to dusty conditions on mail route. Very frustrating several co-workers have same complaint as these vehicles are great for the job they are built for. This expense should not be a factor in considering these vehicles for purchase to work at this job..

2014 Jeep jk Wrangler. Oil filter housing crack. Oil leaking everywhere under the vehicle. Vehicle is smoking. This can cause a fire hazard. Looks like for years this has been reported and nothing has been done. This fix is almost $1000 dollars. This is absolutely ridiculous that you have so many complaints and this is a know issue that the company is not willing to fix this. I will be contacting an attorney if this is not resolved by the manufacturer.
Defective bearing in rocker arm leading to engine failure. It is a common problem with the engine on these vehicles. When engine failure occurs, there is loss of power steering, propulsion, and difficult braking.
