2014 Jeep Wrangler transmission complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 88, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
I noticed there is a leak from my oil filter housing, I could t tell why in my under carriage I had oil going back near transmission followed the leak up to the oil filter housing I am not sure if it is cracked but at only 49k this should not be happening and I have read on many threads this is any issue this should be a recall and covered under power terrain warranty. I noticed it because I was checking my differential fluids and saw the mess of oil spraying all over my under carriage
Wiper stopped working during a rainstorm while driving on the raod when putting on new tires noticed the seal is leaking
Our rubicon had difficulty going in reverse recently. The dealer diagnosed this that the transmission needing replacement with only 55,300 miles and just a month out of warranty. We feel like this is a defective product with so few miles. Chrysler does not appear interested in addressing the issue. I have seen other issues online and wonder if this is common. Hence our complaint for the record.
The oil filter/cooler housing has cracked and is leaking oil with less than 45,000
My check engine light came on after driving less than 5mi. I stopped and consulted the manual. I decided to proceed home after reading it is only urgent if light is flashing. I checked my obd and it read the code p06dd which indicated a problem with oil pump. My low oil pressure light did not come on. Dealership replaced a switch. Shortly after my light came back on reading the same code. Additionally, I smelled burning oil and car went to limp mode when at 3000 rpms. Dealership replaced oil pump finally. Shortly after, the car began leaking a lot of oil. Dealership replaced oil cooler/housing. Due to the constant problems and misdiagnosis I consulted several other dealerships and found out that they frequently see my vehicle type to replace cooler. Apparently, it is due to changes made on the 3.6 engines including a plastic piece that was formally metal. The dealership I had do the repairs, claim that the switch was the problem and everything else was coincidental despite me having the code for oil pump from day 1. At approx 45000mi it is uncommon for oil system failures however it seems to be common for this make/model/year at similar milages. Search forums about this problem.
Parked vehicle on a slope in the mountains with the parking brake engaged. The vehicle is an automatic transmission and was in park. Immediately following all passengers exiting the vehicle, it slowly started rolling away, backwards. It traveled down a 4wd road a small distance before turning off and tumbling down the mountain. Luckily everyone had exited the vehicle and there were no injuries. Though we were parked on a slope, probably around 15 degrees, there was complete failure of both the park gear and the parking brake allowing a rollaway. The parking surfaces was a combination solid rock and dirt.
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.
Transmission supply and return steel hose rubbed on transmission housing causing the steel hose to have a hole and leak transmission fluid. Hose did have a plastic bracket that broke over time.
Casting sand from the heads has contaminated the engine cooling system leading to my radiator and heater core becoming clogged with sediment.
Oil leaking from the oil filter adaptor housing per jeep service department on 2014 jeep wrangler unlimited. The item is backordered and jeep service representative advised my daughter not to drive the vehicle until it is repaired. Jeep service department told us that they would not pay for rental car or provide a car while the car sits at dealership waiting for repair. No idea when part will be back in stock.
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

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
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.

When car was 3 months old, I was putting gear shift into park and it pop back out and I almost was ran over by vehicle. Luckily, have of my body was still in car but it happened so fast that I was parked next to a brick wall and it hit exactly when I put foot on brake. I do have repair forms from ron lewis jeep and insurance report. Since then I had two minor paint peel issues.
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
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.
Jeep wrangler effected. 2014 with 17000 miles the oil filter/oil cooler housing failed and leaked 3qts of oil in less then 24hours. The oil was changed 5 months prior to this problem and the dealer claimed the oil filter was put on to tight which caused cracks in the housing and would not complete the work under warrenty. After the repair I requested to keep the part that was taken out. After close examination and using compressed air to see if I could find a crack there was crack to be found. Only thing I could see that could cause a leak was a missing gasket on botton of house.
My 2014 jeep wrangler unlimited is currently being serviced for a cracked oil cooler. The oil leak was first noticed while parked in my garage. I had taken my vehicle to a local shop and they diagnosed the problem as a cracked oil cooler. I was also told I was lucky there was no fire caused as there was so much oil. I was told it should still be under warranty. The vehicle is getting its normal services now and will be taken to the dealer tomorrow. I have googled this problem and there are many complaints of the same issue for the 2014 jeep wrangler.
Transfer case rear main seal leak as diagnosed by two different jeep dealerships (jeep of hollywood and massey yardley jeep). I have taken the car in twice for repair and the leak continues (02/24/2017 [hollywood jeep] and 03/08/2017 [massey yardley]). The car is in for reevaluation and repair as I am writing this making it the third time in three weeks the car is being repaired for the same issue (03/17/2017 [massey yardley]). This involves the motor oil in the vehicle and leaks regardless of whether the vehicle is idle or being driven. Once the wrangler is driven the the oil heats up, and thins out, causing the oil to leak in larger amounts and faster. This is a safety issue because leaking oil can start an engine fire or too much oil lost can cause an engine to be damaged or even seize. Jeep corporate customer service has been notified of this issue and their "case management" team has been involved in attempting to resolve the issue, however, to-date all customer service reps indicate there is no recall or investigation into these issues. As an aside, the car was taken to the dealer, by the original owner (per carfax report), for transfer case related issues 11/18/2015. I implore the federal safety agency to investigate this issue as this has the potential to be a life threatening issue.
Oil leak being caused from cracked oil housing/casing/bellhouse. Similar issue amongst a large percentage of 2014 jeep wranglers
The oil cooler under the intake, the jeep has 68k miles on it, needs a third oil cooler, the dealership refuses to cover them under warranty, this has been an ongoing problem since the first year I bought the jeep brand new. Every time they crack, out of the blue, no warning, the driver is stranded on the side of the road with six quarts of oil all over the motor, trans, exhaust and ground.
While driving, the vehicle, which was 3 days new to us, exhibited the classic jeep death wobble. The vehicle started to violently shake from side to side and only stopped once the brake was activated. This happened 4 times before the alignment was righted and a part replaced.
Did oil and filter change at the dealership. I got on the freeway and looked at my rear window when I saw smoke. Did not think of it much since I figured its the old oil burning. Drove for a good 2-3 miles and it was getting worse. Pulled over to the side and a lot of smoke got inside the vehicle. Got out and the oil was draining over the muffler, transmission cover that was causing the smoke. I thought they forgot to put the screw back on or the oil filter loose. Called the dealership told them what happened and called a tow truck. Once at the dealership, was told by the tech that it might of been the oil cooler that was draining or got cracked, he said that this is pretty common. I checked online for recalls but did not find any but I did notice a lot of jeep forums online that this was an issue with this model yr. This could be a fire hazard with all that oil draining on the muffler and the engine. Bad design overall! I even know that, it doesn't take a genius to figure that out, its common sense. Making parks with plastic pipes? By the engine and in a hot area? It might be to save money in parts but I am paying on a $40000 jeep. Got the part 68105583aa replaced with 68105583ae. Hopefully this got motified.
On 5/6/16 I went to start my 2014 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon and the engine did not make a noise but the dash lit up like a christmas tree. The windows had power and radio worked but the door lock or alarm did not work. I towed it to the dealer and was advised that it was a common problem and was called the "tipm module" which is basically the entire fuse box and part of the computer. I was stuck there in north carolina from maryland for four exra days. Now after getting back home to maryland on 6/5/16 I go to try and accelorate onto the highway from a ramp and the transmission revs to 5,500 RPM but the jeep will not accelerate. I have to ease off the gas and let it accelerate very slowly. Thank god no trucks were coming or it could have beed and extremely dangerous situation considering it was interstate 95 by 175 where semi trucks go to the ta truck stop.
After only 2 years of highway driving my 2014 jeep wrangler unlimited started leaking oil. I took it in to the dealership and was told that the oil cooler was failing and leaking. The mechanic said that the "standard" oil filter that had been installed at my last oil change (which was done at a reputable facility) was thicker and better than the filter chrysler uses. This thicker, better filter apparently causes oil pressure to increase in order for the engine to move the oil thru this filter. A quick search online found multiple other accounts of the same part failing. The repair was covered under the powertrain warranty but I was told that if I use any oil filter other than the one they sell that if another failure occurs it would not be covered.
2014 jeep wrangler. Consumer writes in regards to manual transmission and brake pedal system issues. *smd the consumer stated gear/clutch system, pedal dropped and lost power pressure. The clutch made a creaking noise. The clutch slave cylinder was replaced. However, it continued to malfunction. In addition, the brake pedal made a squeaking noise, when he applied the brake.
