“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”
NHTSA complaint #11221151, filed 2019-06, 58,500 miles“When pumping gas, the fill tank will fill up and overflow, causing gas to spill out all over the vehicle. The has been going on for the last 60,000 miles. Every other Jeep model has had this fuel filter recalled, except the newer Wrangler. Gas pumping take over 10 minutes to fill overtime. When taken to the dealer, they charged me $90 to tell me the filter need replacing and would like another $89 to do so.”
NHTSA complaint #10909773, filed 2016-09, 40,000 miles“For the last two months, whenever I attempt to fill my car with gasoline, shortly after I begin fueling the gas comes spraying back at me. In order to fill my tank, I must barely squeeze the nozzle such that the gas trickles out. Still if I don't perfectly stop and start at the right moment it will overflow. I called the dealership to see whether I was doing something wrong or if there was a recall, and they informed me it is a known and common issue but there is no recall. …”
NHTSA complaint #11316545, filed 2020-03, 82,000 miles“I purchased my Jeep Wrangler sport 2014 with less than 9000 miles on it, drove from fl to co twice. Second time I got to co, car started leaking oil and hasn't stopped since (6+ months). Also, when I accelerate something smells like it's burning. Oil light will not turn off.”
NHTSA complaint #10882062, filed 2016-07, 11,000 miles“Four months after purchasing a used Wrangler unlimited I got a check engine light and codes p0205 and p0305. Upon reading up on these codes it is a very well known issue with the 3.6l pentastar engine. The injector coil had already been replaced in cylinder 5 so my guess is the previous owner had the same issue. It has slightly over 60,000 miles on it and is no longer covered under engine warranty. The first time it happened to me was after a 120 mile drive. I stopped for gas and when I turned the Jeep back on the check engine light was on.”
