Engine oil cooler. Cracks causing massive engine oil leaks. My jeep was parked in the garage. I noticed the oil on the floor. I followed it up both sides of the engine to the cooler. I have not changed the oil in months. It was below zero here for 3 days in north texas. The cooler is made from plastic. It gets hot then cold then hot again and it cracks. This is a serious issue and is a massive issue as well. Jeep/chrysler knows this, how do I know? Because they have no more parts, they ran out for real gone no coolers. The federal safety agency was made for this. Every jeep has this issue! My jeep is at autonation in keller texas waiting for parts they tell me it could be months!!! I noticed the oil on the 1st of march the jeep had been parked since feb.20th no history of any leaks. Jeep has 66000miles on it 1 owner me.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that the oil filter housing was cracked, causing oil to leak from the vehicle, without warning. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the failure and informed him that the replacement part was on backorder.

The failure mileage was approximately 52,000.
Oil spillage on driveway. Started after cold weather moved into area. Now costing 1500.00 to fix problems. Have noticed of several complaints of same area breakage on multiple other same year and style vehicles via internet social networking sites.

Noticed oil leak smell, took to mechanic and diagnosis shows the oil housing unit, plastic cover on the cooler is cracked and leaking. Vehicle is not driven off road and is completely stock.
Oil leak coming from the oil housing unit, plastic cover on the oil cooler was cracked and the leak shows symptoms of a rear main seal leaking when in fact it is not. Vehicle was driven under normal conditions. Completely stock at this time.
When the heat was turned on a burning smell was detected. Vehicle was taking to the dealer for an oil change and an analyze for the burning odor, this vehicle is at 52000 miles. Result: major leak to the oil filter housing and the front drive shaft is also leaking grease. This vehicle is not being using for off-roading or 4wd dealer stated that the oil filter housing was fixed and the vehicle can be driven while waiting on the other parts. I continue to detect the burning odor. The vehicle continues to leak oil. On further inspection the coolant and the radiator is empty. Dealer mechanic stated that the radiator is leaking and this is a common issue. I am not the only customer that is having this issue; when inquired about a recall, I was told that currently the manufacture does not have one in place. I was told that the manufacture is aware of the issue but will not acknowledge it and once the vehicle reaches 50,000 miles and out of warranty, it is now the customer problem.
Adapter enegine oil filter .wiring k1-2 way.
We were parked, with motor running and got a slight whiff of the sweet anti freeze scent. Took it to a shop who said we had a very small hole near the top of the radiator. After research, we see this is a highly reported problem. On a 3 year old vehicle? We have a 15 year old vw bug convertible and a 20 year old ford f150 an have never had issues with the radiators. So disappointed in this!
I had been driving about 2 hours when I noticed a smell. I stopped the vehicle and got out to take a look. I first walked to the back of the vehicle and found nothing. I turned around and started for the front of the vehicle when I noticed smoke coming out of the hood. I leaned in the to drivers side to turn off the engine and saw flames. There was no indication of any issues, no lights, no performance issues, etc. Everything was still working fine when I shut the engine off.*dt the consumer provided photos.
Faulty radiator had to be replaced. The vehicle has always maintained regular maintenance and never had accidents or issues. The temp started overheating and upon inspection the mechanic stated the radiator was causing it. My research online shows many others have experienced this issue. This should not happen on a car that is only 3 years old!
Was driving it on highway for about an hour pulled into my driveway and temp flashed on and I shut it off and then it started smoking and caught fire.
Heater partially working due to casting sand in engine
Loss of heat due to heater core clogged with casting sand from engine manufacturer
Huge amount of oil leaking from under vehicle. Oil pooled where oil filter housing is located and ran down back of engine onto exhaust and transmission housing. This is a fire hazard to have hot oil leaking into hot exhaust pipes. This apparently is a known issue with jeep wranglers as the part is made of plastic and cracks. This needs to be recalled.
Engine surging. Tries to stall. Loss of power.
Engine overheats had to take it to dealership under warranty, problem they said was internal engine failure, they want to replace with same engine but are not offering warranty if incident happens again only the original warranty
My vehicle went in for a routine oil change in march of this year. Since then my engine light has contributed to come on. I have taken my vehicle to the dealership I purchased the new vehicle from to figure out the issue five times over the course of this summer. They have claimed to repair components of the vehicle, yet the light is still on. I do not feel safe driving in a vehicle that a service department can not figure out what's going on.
After 2 years, there is an oil leak around the oil pump which poses a fire hazard.
My 2017 jeep wrangler would randomly shut off, after several days at the shop they determined from the national database my transmission is shot !!
The vehicle started by itself while parked. The ignition had been turned off and keys removed for several hours. This has happened twice. I discovered the vehicle running, doors locked and ignition in the off position. To turn off the enginei inserted the key, turned it to the on position and then off. This occurred once in my garage, causing carbon monoxide exhaust to enter the living quarters. It happened a second time while parked away from home, with the keys removed. The vehicle was stationary, because it was placed in park when the engine was turned off.
The car caught on fire while driving
See police report and attached pictures. Driving slow on a backstreet at less than 25 miles p\h. Brand new 2017 stock jeep wrangler sport. Less than 6,000 miles. I am now a horrified woman that knows nothing about why my new jeep wrangler catches on fire out of no where while in motion! Once we saw fire flames, smoke and red oil on fire coming out from engine area and below the vehicle drivers side, we quickly stopped on residential street. Me, my 70 year old mother who is sick and my 24 year old autistic daughter had to jump out of this fire trap vehicle screaming and crying!!! This was an unexplained and spontaneous fire!!! Why? No reason behind it and nothing that I did to cause it. The fire was luckily and quickly extinguished by good samaritans and city workers near by. The fire department was called and showed up along with police officer. Fire department told me to write a complaint on these vehicles because they have had to respond to many jeep wrangler fires in the last 10 years. I was shocked and horrified, how can this be??? How bad this could have turn out to be if city workers where not near by with a fire extinguisher?. Jeep needs to be investigated. Please protect the consumers and jeep wrangler owners who are unaware of these fire traps. This is serious and dangerous fire issues on jeep wranglers. I pray you start an instigation and recall so that nobody else has to go through this horrific experience! *bf updated 8/3/18
