The oil filter housing/cooling assembly is plastic, cheap, and located right in the middle of the engine. mine, along with many other jeeps of this make and model have them fail well under 30,000 miles. this causes massive engine oil loss which in turn causes engine damage. this is a huge rip off considering the part costs ~$500. chrysler should fix this immediately on all jeeps.
All power was lost while driving down the freeway at 65 mph. lost power steering and the engine died. there was no warning that there was a problem. this could have been a serious accident. found other instances of this happening on the internet: http://www.carproblemzoo.com/jeep/wrangler/2013/engine-shut-off-without-warning-problems.php
The 3.6 engine has developed a tick from inad rocker arms. the arms are known to be faulty and many vehicles have stalled at high speeds due to the issue. this is a huge safety issue that needs to be recalled
Reoccurring clogging of the engine coolant system, causing very low heat available for defrosting of the windshield in below freezing temperatures. i have found that this is a very common problem on this model of jeep wrangler. effect is at its worst during city driving
Engine does when going into reverse and surges when driving at low throtle
My jeep has been to four different dealers and i am still having the same issues with it as i did when i bought it one year ago. the engine light comes on and power is lost when this happens. the vehicle is usually in motion when this happens.
My check engine light came on and i took it to my mechanic who said it seemed to just be a sensor. then i went to start it one night after work and it wouldn't start. so i had to call aaa and they said maybe battery. so replace battery and now again, check engine light and it struggles to start and jerks while driving. my check engine light is on again.
Leaking oil cooler / filer housing.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 jeep wrangler. while driving and accelerating, the cylinder head made a metal to metal rattling noise. the vehicle was taken to hendrick chrysler dodge jeep ram duluth (2473 pleasant hill rd, duluth, ga 30096, (678) 369-6704) where it was diagnosed that the rockers and bearings were faulty. the dealer assumed that there was damage to the cam shaft and would need to take apart the engine to confirm. the manufacturer stated that the vehicle was out of warranty and the contact would have to pay for the repair. the failure mileage was 79,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 jeep wrangler. while driving various speeds, the vehicle misfired and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the failure occurred intermittently. big o dodge chrysler jeep ram (2645 laurens rd, greenville, sc 29607, (864) 288-5000) diagnosed that the left cylinder head needed to be replaced, new bolts needed to be installed, and a coolant flush was needed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. the failure mileage was 75,000.
Engine began making ticking noise from engine bay at about 77,000 miles. jeep has been serviced as required with quality synthetic oil and filters since new. done more often than jeep requires. took to dealer who agreed it was making noise and needed fixed. when valve covers were removed they found rocker arms bad on 2 cylinders and tappets collapsed on 3 cylinders. service manager said this was a common problem that chrysler knows about. they have a star case bulletin, # s1309000016 published about this. said they are doing several of the pentastar v6 engines a month. this is a engine that is used in mini vans, chargers, challengers, 200's and 300's, maybe others. happening in all of these vehicles. this is a known problem and chrysler should have a recall for this. rocker arm bearings not hardened correctly is what they told me. being out of warranty, i had to pay out of pocket to fix this.
My 2013 jeep wrangler engine shuts down very intermittently when driving at interstate speeds and city speeds, it has happened many times, leaving me with no power steering or power brakes, i find this a safty hazzard... it's been to the dealership four times without anything resolved.

With no leaks and less than 65,000 miles, the amount of heat produced through the vehicles heating system has been steadily diminishing to the point that it now only blows cool air. this condition is present even after the vehicle is up to operating temperature and has been in continuous operation. research has indicated that a engine component manufacturing defect (casting sand residue) has directly caused this condition with the sand residue accumulating in the heater core and restricting/blocking the flow of coolant through the heater core.
Constant ticking noise coming from the top of the engine. this ticking noise is made from worn out rocker arms/ cam lifters as the camshaft rotates. the bearing material in the lifters is not hardened steel and can degrade. all 3.6l pentastar engines are affected by these defective rocker arms. if the rocker arms are damaged no code will show. the first sines will be a loss in fuel efficacy. as the camshaft wears down changing the displacement of the cylinders this will start causing misfire and stalling during normal driving/ acceleration. eventually, ware debris can fall into the cylinder and damage the head. i first took my jeep to the dealership at 60k miles to diagnose. with no codes showing i was told everything in the engine checked out and the ticking noise was from the valves. now at 84k miles one of the rocker arms is definitely failing and still not showing codes. the dealership will not cover replacement under warranty because the purchase date was 5 1/2 years ago. this is a known issue with the 3.6l pentastar. chrysler has provided technical bulletins to visually ...
