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.
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.
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
Failure to start, randomly when vehicle is stationary. visible pertaining component parts such as battery, ignition switch, starter and voltage all in good order. after 30 minute waiting period car will start. steering wheel movement when exiting vehicle appears to trigger problem, quite often. has occurred 8 times in 4 months. dealer showed no error codes.
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!!!!
