3. 6 pentastar v6 oil filter / oil cooler assembly developed a major oil leak. . . Oil could be smelled dripping on exhaust stopped driving until dealer had replacement part. Was in fear that engine oil could catch on fire, or run out of oil and destroy motor. All new Chrysler 3. 6 3. 2 v6's are affected. Chrysler charged almost 600. 00 to replace part and allow safe operation of 3 year old car. Their has been a new part for 2014 models that is having more oil leak problems. . .
The (rhd) vehicle check engine light and traction control (skid) light come on regularly while driving straight on dry roads and when the traction control light is on it causes the vehicle to slow speed. When driving over 40 mph, it takes a while to gain speed and if you let off gas it jerks like you are driving a standard transmission. I recently had the powertrain control module replaced costing myself over $600 and it still does the same thing. I have made a stop at a stop sign before and this Jeep died and started right back. Occasionally the gascap light comes on and stays for a couple days and then goes away. Another strange thing that happens a lot is the temperature on dash is set to fahrenheit, but often I have to change it back because I will look and its showing celcius. The most recent thing that happened scared even my children. I had just took off at a 4-way intersection on highway and while gaining speed with no lights on, I reached about 40 mph and it just jerked as hard as it could and then check engine light and traction control light come on causing us to almost get run over by the peope behind us gaining speed because we were being slowed down by this event. This is by far the strangest vehicle I've ever owned, sometimes there are no lights, sometimes just check engine or gascap light is on, and sometimes the check engine and traction control lights are on at the same time. You never know what you are gonna get on any given day. I have taken it to dealer again for the 6th time but they dont seem to be very knowledgable or have any idea why this is happening.
Vehicle stopped getting heat from all vents on drivers side, including defroster and only luke warm heat on the passenger side. All regular maintenance had been performed on the vehicle. Dealer says radiator and heater core need to be replaced as they are filled with 'sludge'. A little research online and this seems to be an all to common issue with these Jeeps and Chrysler has given no answer as to the cause. While not having heat is inconvenient, not being able to defrost the windshield is a safety hazard. They are currently fighting me on paying for this as the vehicle is just out of warranty. This is an issue Chrysler is fully aware of and has done nothing to fix! further investigating has shown that ignoring this problem and not removing this sludge could eventually lead to engine failure.

I have received four recall notices on this issue (safety recall n28/NHTSA 13v-234) starting in September of 2013, and have contacted dealer a number of times who say they have no parts to repair the issue. Obviously simply sending the owner more recall notices, without the ability to repair is a waste of time.
Safety recall for transmission oil cooler tube n28/NHTSA 13v-234. Contacted dealer at time of initial recall and was told parts would be available 12/13. Then called back and told parts not available and they would call me. As of 5/1/14, issue has not been fixed.
I received my second notice for a recall involving the transmission oil cooler tube which may effect the power steering fluid return tube or transmission itself. I called the dealer to schedule an appointment for the work to be done, I was advised by dealership that I will be placed on the waiting list of over 140 people as the part is on backorder and they are only allowed to order 1 part (for this recall) every 14days. I contacted Chrysler and was advised this is correct, they limit the part to dealerships since it must be distributed evenly nationwide. When I asked, "why the part isn't being made in mass production to accommodate the need required to fulfill this recall?", Chrysler did not have an answer. I'd like to know how the consumer is supposed to feel safe in their vehicle that is known to have a problem (hence the recall) when the manufacturer doesn't feel it necessary to supply the parts needed to fix the vehicles. A recall doesn't do anyone any good if the parts aren't readily available to correct the problems. This seems more like a stall tactic from the manufacturer to renege on their responsibility.

On hill with pedestrians all around I stopped vehicle, placed it in park, turned key off. Then I rotated out the door releasing the brake. Vehicle rolled backwards down hill with people diving out of the way. Managed to rotate back into position and stop vehicle in about 20 feet. Started motor moved vehicle forward, engaged park which then worked and set emergency brake. After that I made sure that park correctly engaged before getting out of position. On a second occasion on the same day park failed to engage, however I was prepared and it only rolled backwards a few inches. Since the failure to completely engage park nearly injured people behind me, and if I had failed to get to the brake was headed off a cliff with my wife in it, my first stop was to the Jeep factory warranty station at home. Vehicle was trailered back home. The dealership could not duplicate the failure so fixed nothing. Both times park failed you could hear the parking pawl ratcheting.

I received a notification a few months ago of a recall on the transmission oil cooler tube which could lead to a crash. I contacted my dealer & have been waiting for an appointment to address this recall. As of my last conversation with him a few days ago, he informed me that it would be at the very least 9 months before he could schedule an appointment, that he was not receiving the parts from Jeep. In the interim my 17 year old daughter is driving an unsafe vehicle which Jeep itself issued a recall for and they are apparently not honoring this recall, and are unconcerned that they are putting their customers in danger.
