2017 Jeep Wrangler Engine Problems

“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. The consumer provided photos.”

“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.”

“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. Nhtsa was made for this. Every Jeep has this issue! …”

“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.”

“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!!! …”
