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.
Oil cooler leaking
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 🤔
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.

Engine coolant and oil sprayed the underside of the jeep started smoking paid to have it fixed then 4 months later the coolant is starting to leak again. Was told the parts are cheaply made and I am better off ditching this jeep before it catches fire.
Coolent elbow with thermostat tends to develop a small leak , leaking could result in a engin seizure or being stranded on highway/off road not sire if this is a common issue or isolated
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.
Add me to the long list of people with engine oil leaking from the oil filter/cooler
3.6 ticking noise sounds like lifters or rockers
Engine started ticking sounds like a valve or lifter
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
Mopar oil cooler housing, which houses a cooler and oil filter, sits on the engine and has cracked, causing oil to leak out of it. Oil leaks down the engine and onto the transmission housing. This is a fire hazard and a common issue with 2014's, which can be found via a quick and simple google search. Car was stationary when I discovered the leak. Car dealership verified the issue and supplied me with an estimate, stating this is a well known issue. About 3 hour repair and could cost 700-1100.

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.
First few years had 2 major oil leaks where they took apart car to repair. I brought car in for oil change asking them to check oil that is leaking from bottom. Was told nothing was leaking. Weeks later my engine went out while driving 2 cylinders $4000 repair. Two months out of warranty. Now my jeep is leaking oil again and I'm sure if I trust the jeep dealer at this point. Please help
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 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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
