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.
Oil filter housing and cooler unit cracked causing oil to leak down on top of exhaust posing a fire hazard.
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.
Oil filter and cooler leaking oil all over engine and exhaust the fumes from burning oil all inside the cabine
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
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.
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.
Massive oil leak covering entire engine and exhaust system caused by defective 68105583af adapter - engine oil filter
Oil filter adapter cracked, now leaking oil.
Vehicle was smoking and leaking oil at various times. dealer identified the issue as a cracked oil cooler.
Tl* 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.
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.
My car recently started a ticking noise that will not go away. ticking increases while vehicle accelerates.
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 jeeps. 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 jeeps to make sure this issue is resolved once and for all. my vin did not show a recall per your system, but all 2014 jeeps should be checked since it's occurring so frequently, and people will be out of their warranty soon with that year's model.
Oil filter adapter part no. 68105583aa fails and causes oil leak.
Add me to the long list of people with engine oil leaking from the oil filter/cooler
Massive oil leak at the oil cooler housing. (2 quarts per day). leaking on the top of the motor and leaking down the back passenger side engine directly over the hot exhaust manifold. leak occurs at all rpm ranges and leaves massive puddles of oil everywhere i go which is not good for the environment. and presents a fire hazard if stuck in traffic and engine temps rise enough to cause ignition of leaking oil over a hot exhaust manifold.
Cracked oil filter housing unit. following a regular oil change.
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.
While on the highway (according to the jeep dealership) my oil cooler housing cracked and leaked most, if not all, of the engine's oil into the coolant system. this occurred in 10 minutes and extremely overheated the engine from the time it happened to the time i was able to pull off the highway and safely park. the oil mixing with the coolant caused it to turn into a thick mud-like consistency that clogged up the cooling system and after letting it cool down i opened the radiator then a thick brown oily/coolant mixture seeped out of the radiator. so the radiator was holding pressure prior to bringing it to the dealership. the jeep dealership replaced the oil cooler housing under warranty along with the radiator hoses but is now saying my radiator has a hole in it and not holding pressure and they are refusing to cover it under warranty, despite the jeep not having any mechanical issues prior to a hole blowing open in the engine and leaking out oil. the jeep dealership refuses to test the engine any further even though it ran for 10 minutes with little to no oil in it which most likely caused pre-mature wear. the jeep dealership wants me to pay $800+ for a new radiator. i bought this jeep 40 days ago from the dealership and it's still covered under the 100,000 mile powertrain warranty. they are trying to get my jeep out of their dealership as quickly as they can by spending the least amount of time and money.
Casting sand from the heads has contaminated the engine cooling system leading to my radiator and heater core becoming clogged with sediment.
Oil cooler housing cracking under normal conditions causing oil to leak. given the relatively slow but consistent leak this problem can go very easily unnoticed but result in catastrophic engine failure and ultimately cause accidents. if this part completely fails there may be no warning time and cause engine seize and/or permanent engine damage. part has been re-designed multiple times and is a very well known issue in many 2014 and other year jeep wrangler vehicles. part should be recalled and vehicles suspected to have this part inspected for leaking oil. in my scenario i noticed dripping oil from around both sides of the transmission bell housing but unable to trace to the source at first. after reading a few forums i looked down along side the oil filter housing and found a puddle of oil laying in the valley of the engine. many others have reported this very same issue and the fact that the part has been re-designed so many times and can cause safety concerns, i would like nhtsa so please investigate this.
Oil cooler housing cracked. this occurred at less than 40,000. i was lucky that i noticed it in my garage rather then while driving the vehicle. the vehicle had to be towed for repairs. if i had been driving it could have caused engine failure. covered under power train warranty but seems to be a common theme with the 2014s. come on fca can you seriously cant fix this issue. i mean really.
Freezing cold (teens) temps outside, started vehicle, huge oil puddle under after 10 minutes running to warm up. took snake camera, found oil running out rear and down tranny bell housing. found engine oil cooler to be the problem which is plastic!!!!!!. this is a fire hazard to say the least.
Summary: oil cooler housing cracked. this occurred at less than 51,000. we were lucky that it happened in our garage rather then while driving the vehicle. the vehicle was unsafe to drive due to the oil leak and had to be towed for repairs. if we had been driving it could have caused engine failure. covered under power train warranty but seems to be a common theme with the 2014s. request research help *bf *tr
Oil filter housing leak. $700 repair. this is a piece of plastic that needs to be recalled and replaced for good with something that will actually hold up. this piece failed at 60000 miles...
While driving moderate speed on a rural rd (est miles 115k), all red & yellow lights came on, "no bus" light came on which is not listed in the ops manual, windshield wipers came on, rpm gauge went to zero, fuel gauge went to empty, engine light flashing and engine running rough to possible stall. within a period of time 10 min or so everything came back to normal and jeep ran ok. this has happen to my wife who is a rural mail carrier on many occasions. in fact in 1 week it happened every day and it has happened many times over a long period. jeep service folks don't know what is causing the problem as the codes do not pin point the problem. they "think" possibility it could be pwr fuse box, main computer or fwd instrument panel ea at a cost of over $1000 to replace. service folks want t jeep brought to them with lights on, gauges zero, engine light flashing but it's an intermittent problem and they are 30 miles or more away depending where the problem happens. service folks have had the jeep for a total of 3 days in jan & feb and drove it over 150 mile and the problem never appeared. in feb 2015 while driving (24,171 miles) the engine light came "on" and jeep stalled in the middle of the road. it was restarted and driven so jeep was then taken to dealer and they found that a fault code said "wiring does not have enough slack between sensor & wiring causing poor connection". replaced cam sensor & wiring. fault cleared. have photos of dash with "all lights and gauges showing zero and no bus light on and wipers going back and forth. i'll send if you need them but it all lights and gauges which are depicted in the ops manual. this possible engine stalling while driving and possible electrical fire is a safety issue. this problem has occurred over many months throughout 2018.
Bought my 2014 jeep wrangler sport in april 2017, it has a little over 44,000 miles. i noticed a smell of burnt oil, i havent changed the oil recently. after doing some research it appears as the oil filter housing adapter is cracked. identified as part number 68105583aa. this is a huge issue, and according to the forums i have read a continuing problem. why is there no recall on this? my understanding is that chrysler is aware of the problem and has replaced the part with part 68105583ae. not a happy customer. i hate to spend almost 30,000 dollars and have to repair it after drivinf it 7,000 miles. complete dissapointment.
Takata recall vehicle was in park noticed oil drops on concrete inspection under the jeep showed no leaks went to jeep forum discovered leak was at top, the plastic oil cooler was the problem, oil drips down into a v type reservoir so therefore when you take off at the reservoir full of oil now blows all under the motor. went on to jeep forum and noticed that the complaint had been done numerous times by thousands of people where the part before used to be made out of metal was now being made out of plastic so the part is faulty and needs looked into thank you
Cracked oil cooler released extreme amounts of oil into engine compartment and throughout engine and undercarriage. the oil spill represents a safety concern for not only road/pavement slip hazard and brake contamination but also presents a fire hazard as it occurs in the engine compartment near electrical and heated elements. after scheduling replacement, part is out of stock due to heavy demand for this particular year. after calling multiple part suppliers and dealers it appears this is a very common occurrence in this year only.
After only 50k miles major oil leak from oil cooler housing. dealership doesn't want to acknowledge ongoing issues with 1000 other owners reporting same thing. recll needed. large puddling under jeep after being driven
Oil running down the back of my engine 3.6 with 68000 miles on it running and sitting in drive way also engine coolent over heats changed thermostat drained radiator put new coolent in still run hot pay a lot of money to buy my jeep for this ?
Engine leaks oil from the "oil filter adapter" that is cracked. the oil leaks onto the manifold and gets really hot causing a burning smell. it could potentially set a fire to the engine. i noticed this because of the strong burning smell and the white smoke coming from the engine.
Corner of radiator was leaking coolant, found by dealership on inspection. noted by the dealer as a common defect for radiators in this model range and they see it a lot.
Leaking massive amounts of oil from oil filter/ cooler housing.. oil sits on top of motor huge fire hazard.. leaks while car is in motion.. i smelled burning oil and realized my jeep with just 40.000 miles and many other people are having the same issues when i checked the oil i was just over 2 qts of oil low luckily i noticed before the engine blew up
Major oil leak from the oil filter housing. this is a known problem and a fire hazard.
I noticed motor oil leaking from the bottom of my vehicle while parked. after the mechanic inspected it, it was determined to be a leak in oil cooler / filter housing after further investigation i found several car owners with the same damage in jeep vehicles below 40k. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srnnehjcxvy
Major oil leak at oil filter housing. pooling of oil on engine block and leaking down the back of engine on exhaust pipe and the transmission housing. leaking occurs when in motion and sitting. this is a known problem and fire hazard.
Oil filter housing has cracked at 36,000 miles leaking oil on top of motor creating very high risk of fire. housing is made of plastic should b recalled and replaced with housing made of different material that wont crack . oil leaks down back of motor an underneath vehicle getting on exhaust . this problem is occurring with many vehicles of this make an year model 2014 . housing just cracked had not been worked on housing is faulty because of type of material it is made of
Tl* 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.
Oil cooling housing broke and oil sprayed all over the hot engine. the smoke was pretty intense and used a fire extinguisher in case the oil flashed off
Oil cooler keeps cracking causing oil to leak down my engine, potentially draining engine of oil while driving and catching fire. chrysler corporate office is aware of this issue yet will not recall the part. does it take someone getting injured or a death to occur in order to recall a faulty part? i've already had a jeep dealer replace the oil cooler and it seems that it's going to continue to crack and leak oil everywhere down my engine. the flash point of motor oil is 232 degrees and my engine gets as hot as 230 degrees when pulling a trailer on the interstate. this is beyond frightening to think my engine could catch fire while my family and i are driving on the interstate due to jeeps faulty part.
Oil leak coming from the top of the engine - looks to be under the intake manifold.
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.
The oil filter housing has cracked at 18,000 miles
Leak from the motor oil cooler housing, on the 3.6l pentastar v6 engine from a 2014 jeep wrangler. the oil cooler housing was revised in the 2014 model year from a metal part to a plastic part. mine started leaking at 20998 miles. the leak is identified primarily by a pool of oil forming in the "v" at the base of the cooler housing, and motor oil running down off the top of the transmission bellhousing and around the transmission pan (automatic transmission). the leak is not a transmission leak, it is an oil leak from the motor oil cooler housing.
The oil cooler housing has cracked on my 2014 jeep wrangler. as per the dealership this is a part that is known to be defective and there is no reliable aftermarket replacement.
While driving my jeep on the road i noticed smoke. i immediately pulled aside and seen notor oil leak. appareantly jeep crysler k ow about a problem with oil cooler housing leaking. they had a back order on the part and seems to be a common problem for this particular jeep model and year according to many jeep forums online. luckly i noticed smoke otherwise could have started a fire or could have caused an accident. the jeep only has 37k miles and this seems to be when others had issues.
