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.
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.
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.
The oil filter/cooler housing is known to leak allowing oil to run down engine onto exhaust causing a fire hazard.
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
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
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Cracked oil filter housing, pictures show leaks on the ground and cross member, came out to the leaks this morning.
Oil filter adapter housing cracked due to cold weather.
Oil cooler leaking
The oil cooler assembly cracked causing oil to go all over the motor and transmission. it's around 800.00+ to replace this plastic part and it's a very very common problem in the 2014 jeep wrangler. why hasn't there been a recall? i literally started it and let it idle for 10 minutes before leaving for work and it done this in my carport. oil was everywhere.
Failed oil filter housing at 46,000 miles. catastrophic failure leading to the engine being drained of all oil while being driven less than 7 miles.
The oil filter housing adaptor is defective. it is plastic and when it cracks it dumps oil directly onto the exhaust, which can cause a fire
Seen oil spots on my driveway so i took my jeep to a dealer where a pond investigating they found that the engine oil adapter was leaking. there is 51,668 miles on it
The oil filter housing adaptor is defective. it is plastic and when it cracks it dumps oil directly onto the exhaust, which can cause a fire.
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 expense to fix this known issue, people will be unwilling or unable to pay to get it fixed right away, and that in turn could lead to various safety risks, not to mention pollution controls issues.
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.
2014 wrangler, less than 60,000 miles, oil filter housing cracked. leaks a ton of oil now, splashed in the exhaust, stinks, and could possible start a fire. for some reason this is a known issue for this particular year and model but there isn't a recall 🤔
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that the driver, passenger, and center vents were distributing cold air and the anti-freeze was depleted within a week. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the local dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to nhtsa. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 57,000.
The heads on the penstar motor went bad due to a similar issues that was recalled on the 2012 and 2013 jeep wranglers causing the compression to pull in coolant into the cylinders and causing it not to start.
Engine started ticking sounds like a valve or lifter
3.6 ticking noise sounds like lifters or rockers

I have taken my wrangler in for the 2nd time now with a black sludge in the overflow and radiator. the last dealership replaced the radiator, trans cooler, all hoses and and flushed. now one year later i am having the same issue and the vehicle only has 50,000 miles. the dealership is now telling me they have no idea what the issue is, and is wanting to charge me for a flush. this coolant is rated to 150,000 miles i should not need a flush. i believe i may be apart of an ongoing issue with sand in the heater core as they want to replace this but saying it may not be covered under my warranty. there is always an odor of anti-freeze with this vehicle. i have noticed when around other wrangler jk's i smell the antifreeze with them too.
Jeep 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. my part leaked oil over an unknown amount of time because i live with a gravel driveway.....now dealer shows me "metal" like glow to oil which could be engine failure.....hundreds of cases
On 4/17/19, i was driving my 2014 jeep wrangler jk stopped at a stop light (with my window down) when i detected the odor of burning oil. i thought it was from someone else's car. on 4/21/19, i detected the odor again, and when i got home i observed oil leaking and all over the underside of my vehicle. it also appeared to be dripping on my hot exhaust which is a fire hazard. i took the vehicle to my mechanic and he said it's due a cracked plastic oil cooler housing, it's going to set me back a lot of money, and the issue may happen again. i'm lucky that the oil did not catch on fire. i've done research online and see that numerous 2014 jeep wranglers have this oil leakage due to design flaw utilizing plastic parts.
Oil cooler housing leaking oil at 30,000 miles
At 167414 miles found clutch slipping, troubleshot to clutch being saturated with engine oil. prior to the clutch slipping the oil filter housing cracked twice and replaced under warranty twice, suspected leak caused clutch to be saturated. dealer place dye in oil to verify leak is fixed. also trying to work with dealer to replace clutch at reasonable price sonce damage was caused by a warrantied part. while transmission was out also found transmission fluid leak from the input shaft seal i have asked dealer to fix this issue, but only recommended a transmission service, nothing to verify the leak and verify the input shaft is not scorned or damaged. will take to another dealer after being checked for the dye, on the recommendation of jeep customer service. photos attached show oil around clutch, bell housing coated with oil and the input shaft leak.
2014 jeep wrangler unlimited. started with burning oil smell in vehicle. then puddle on the ground wherever i parked. went back to see if they put the oil filter on wrong. found out it was the oil housing leaking. taking into jeep for repair on 03/07/2019 milage 94,000. should have been a recall, there are so many vehicles with the same issues.
2014 jeep wrangler unlimited. started with burning oil smell in vehicle. then puddle on the ground wherever i parked. had dealer replace engine oil cooler march 4th 2019. milage 87,000. should have been a recall without a doubt since there are so many vehicles with the same issues.
I have the 2014 jeep wrangler with only 47000 miles. i have kept excellent care of this vehicle and it is used only as daily driver with no abuse whatsoever.just within the month of 2/2019 a code; p0305 misfire developed with the typical penastar engine "knock" and idling rough. also, the last week of 2/2019 there was a large oil spot on my garage floor due to an oil cooler/oil housing leak. we immediately contacted the service supervisor at the dealership who stated that this has been a common occurance and the oil cooler/housing unit is replaced often. how it is possible that chrysler can allow this? at 47000 miles this should never happen and is enexceptable.until this extensive repair is completed the vehicle is is rendered useless and my job is now interrupted. now in addtion to the misfire i now have this huge oil leak to contend with; please refer to the picture attached of the oil stain that was discovered on my garage floor.... the entire bottom of the of my transmission/bell housing and cross member covered in oil. moreover i just received an letter informing me that the passenger side air bag also is recalled and i have yet to address this as well. i will never purchase another chrysler product again. i can't tell you the level of disappointment and betrayal i feel for buying an "american made" car. i hope chrysler/fiat corperate is enjoying short changing the consumer buy using inferior and faulty parts to save money and rip off the consumer this way. i am sure no one cares and i am just wasting my time but this should be noted and people made aware.
40000 miles and the rear main seal is already leaking bad. happened when i first bought it in 2016 and the dealer said nothing was wrong or leaking as i was loosing oil.. now it's leaking terribly bad and they won't cover it.
The oil filter housing is leaking and the valves and rocker arms need replacing
Engine light is on do to oil pressure sensor. from everything i'm reading this is very common in the jeep wranglers. why isn't this recalled. i was quoted $600.00 to get this fix. i am told not to drive this as it could ruin the engine.
Regarding complaint number: 11175198. the information provided to you in my complaint was sent to jeep us customer care, fiat chrysler automotive group (fca) first, and they fwd it to the jeep chrysler regional manager for approval to open a "star" case so engineering technicians at fca could look at the problem on the jeep as identified to you. the regional maintenance manager --refused to open the "star" case --fearing that the identified electrical & engine problem could cause a recall and safety recall. on 2-18-2019 i received a call from us customer care at fiat chrysler automotive, and told that because of the area management refusal to open a "star" my case with them has been closed.
Oil filter/cooler housing leak. this is a common problem with 2014/15 penstar engines. happening around 50,000 miles or 5/6 oil change. leak causes oil to pool on top of engine and running down onto the exhaust and transmission pan. can leak as much as .5 quarts of oil in a short matter of time. this is a $600 fix at a dealer. research shows it is very common. something this common should not be put on the owners expense.
The oil filter housing and oil cooler is leaking causing oil to pool on top of engine. this could cause a fire due to oil running down the engine and getting on the exhaust.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep wrangler. when the vehicle was started, there was a large puddle of oil underneath the vehicle. the contact stated that the oil was leaking from the oil cooler filter housing onto the exhaust fan. champion chrysler jeep dodge ram (4505 west 96th street, indianapolis, in 46268, (317) 872-6200) diagnosed that the oil cooler filter housing needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vin was not provided. the failure mileage was 106,000.
Drive the jeep approximately 10 miles on 1/18/19. parked it in my drive way for the night. air temp got to between 15 and 20 degrees that night. at approximately 10:30 am i started the jeep to allow it to warm up before driving 3 miles to town. at about mile 2 i noticed a burning oil smell. i pulled off the road and saw motor oil covering my transmission and exhaust. i checked the oil and it was about 1/2 a quart low. i drove the jeep home at that point and parked it. called the dealership and scheduled an appointment. i was told it was a crack in the oil cooler housing assembly. service tech explained it was a common issue with this year model and that jeep was aware of it. when i asked about pricing and recalls the tech said it wasn't a recalled part and the total repair cost would be around $1000.00. confused i called around to other jeep owners as well as other authorized jeep repair shops and was told this. it is a very common problem but not covered under any recall. this problem is all to common for there not to be a recall. the danger lies in the fact that had someone less knowledgeable been driving, fire could have erupted from the large amount of oil on the exhaust, engine failure due to a sudden loss of oil, and not to mention the oil that is now running onto the roadway. and the environmental issues as well.
Upon startup, in park and stationary, engine revs to 4000-5000 rpm, turn ignition to off and restart, engine revs to 4000-5000 rpm, turn ignition to off, wait 30 seconds restart everything seems fine. bought new in 2014, has happened several times over the last 5 years.
Leaking oil due to oil cooler failure. this is a known issue on the 3.6l penstar engines and chrysler dodge jeep does nothing to repair it. i have looked up plenty of threads and videos on this and this is not a easy or cheap repair. the result is oil leaking from the back of the of the intake manifold and down the back of the engine and to the ground.
