Engine Burning Oil problems of the 2014 Jeep Wrangler

Smelled a oil burning smell inside the cab. Noticed a dripping of oil on the ground. Took it to an independent mechanic and was told the oil filter housing was cracked. When trying to order the part, was told several thousand were on back order and they had no time frame to get one. I use this vehicle for work and no one can tell me when I can drive my vehicle. Totally unacceptable.

I was just around the corner from my house so as I pulled into my driveway I looked under my vehicle and noticed oil dripping from under the engine on to the exhaust pipe. I am aware that 2014 Jeep Wranglers have a problem with the oil filter housing cracking over time. I opened my hood and looked at the oil filter housing and there was oil all over the top of the motor. I went to my local Jeep dealer and was told that this year Wrangler has a big problem with this and that there is no recall. I don't understand how a safety issue like this that mopar has not been called on the carpet for a fire hazard like this and that they are aware of the premature failure of this part. I was told the repair would be roughly $600. Could you help me resolve this issue and what appropriate action I can take. My vehicle only has 35,000 miles on it. Not to mention my driveway is a mess :(.

While sitting at an intersection, we could smell burning oil and smoke. Got the Jeep home and found a steady drip of oil around bell housing. Found that engine valley is overflowing with oil, oil filter adapter housing failure and causing oil to leak onto hot engine creating intense smoke. Found that this is a common issue on Chrysler/Jeep 3. 6 liter pentastar engines and hundreds of complaints. The repair for this common environmental fire hazard is costly. Why is this not a recall?.

Noticed oil on the garage floor in January 2020. Engine is leaking oil from the oil cooler that is on top on the engine. Could be a fire hazard as oil drains down the back of the engine. Vehicle has 86000 miles on it but has been leaking for a while. Now it is leaking very bad and can smell burnt oil when driving. Looking on forums online and many 2014 to 2016 3. 6 engines have this issue. Issue seams to be from faulty gaskets and in some cases cracked housings on the oil cooler. Mine is no longer covered under any warranty. I thought it was from the oil pan gasket at first, but when I started to smell oil burning, I started looking closer at it and found oil laying in the valley on top of the engine.

On 4/17/19, I was driving my 2014 Jeep Wrangler jk stopped at a stop light (with my window down) when I detected the odor of burning oil. I thought it was from someone else's car. On 4/21/19, I detected the odor again, and when I got home I observed oil leaking and all over the underside of my vehicle. It also appeared to be dripping on my hot exhaust which is a fire hazard. I took the vehicle to my mechanic and he said it's due a cracked plastic oil cooler housing, it's going to set me back a lot of money, and the issue may happen again. I'm lucky that the oil did not catch on fire. I've done research online and see that numerous 2014 Jeep Wranglers have this oil leakage due to design flaw utilizing plastic parts.

2014 Jeep Wrangler unlimited. Started with burning oil smell in vehicle. Then puddle on the ground wherever I parked. Went back to see if they put the oil filter on wrong.

2014 3. 6l oil filter/housing/cooler crack leak oil on engine smell of burning (fire hazard).

Bought my 2014 Jeep Wrangler sport in April 2017, it has a little over 44,000 miles. I noticed a smell of burnt oil, I havent changed the oil recently. After doing some research it appears as the oil filter housing adapter is cracked. Identified as part number 68105583aa. This is a huge issue, and according to the forums I have read a continuing problem. Why is there no recall on this? my understanding is that Chrysler is aware of the problem and has replaced the part with part 68105583ae. Not a happy customer. I hate to spend almost 30,000 dollars and have to repair it after drivinf it 7,000 miles. Complete dissapointment.

While driving down a toll road smoke started coming up from the floor of my Jeep. You could see it and smell it. We are talking a lot! there wasn't a place for me to pull over immediately. The worst part is having my 8 year old son in the vehicle with me. Do you have any idea how scared I was that my Jeep may be on fire and could blow up with my child inside?! we pulled over and jumped out. I looked under and there was a small flame on the exhaust . My Jeep dumped all of its oil and it spilled all over the hot exhaust causing a fire. The oil was burning underneath my Jeep. This is not okay. This defective cooling housing could eventually kill someone. I'm livid my son was in the vehicle. Even moreso that there is tons of complaints and you've done nothing! I'm extremely disappointed Chrysler! my family has been buying your vehicles for close to 20 years. Making any of us pay to fix something you all know is defective is wrong! and shame on anyone that doesn't see this a major safety issue.

Leaking massive amounts of oil from oil filter/ cooler housing. . Oil sits on top of motor huge fire hazard. . Leaks while car is in motion. . I smelled burning oil and realized my Jeep with just 40. 000 miles and many other people are having the same issues when I checked the oil I was just over 2 qts of oil low luckily I noticed before the engine blew up.

Arrived home in vehicle and had a strong odor of burning oil. Immediately saw a puddle of oil under the vehicle and oil on the exhaust was smoking. The oil filter/cooler housing had begun leaking. This vehicle has 44,000 miles on it and never been off road. This seems to be a very common part failure and Chrysler needs to address it. The amount of oil it lost in a short amount of time was enough to cause a fire. There was over 1/2 inch of oil in the valley between the heads and oil had blown from the motor to the rear differential. This part is conveniently not covered under the 5 yr 100,000 mile engine warranty and the dealer said the part has not been upgraded.

3,6 oil filter adapter leaking. Have 38,000 on vehicle, got oil changed on Monday evening and Wednesday morning noticed a burned oil smell and a cloud of smoke off motor after short drive to work. Have oil slick underneath vehicle when came out that afternoon. Went directly back to dealership, and they advised that they had done nothing wrong , but was a bad oil filter adapter. I see a lot of them appear to fail, but the timing is suspect. Has the replacement part been upgraded to prevent future failures?.

I have a Wrangler sahara unlimited 2014. Around 48,000 miles I smelled burning oil an noticed oil leaking under the carriage when the car was parked. I took it to the dealership and they indicated that the oil cooler was leaking. The engine was filled with oil. They replaced the oil cooler and adapter. This is a potential fire hazard. I hope Jeep replaced the damaged part withone that will prevent the problem from reoccurring.

I recently starting to smell burning oil in my Jeep. I didn't think much of it, and figured there may have been a minor spill or the old oil was burning off after my recent oil change. But after a couple of days, the smell remained and I noticed an oil stain where I park this Jeep in my driveway. I then thought that maybe my mechanic failed to properly install my oil filter after the last oil change. But turns out, the oil filter housing was leaking oil. This is potentially very dangerous and now has to be replaced. And from what I understand, this part is made from plastic and has caused many problems with this specific model year. My sister, who has the same year and model also had to have hers replaced. I only have 50k highway miles on this vehicle. I also noticed that the replacement part has a different part number, so Jeep may have made a modification to the part. I hope so!.

Had my oil changed and shortly after smelled burning oil. Didn't think much of it, figured there may have been a minor spill or the old oil was burning off. After a couple of days, the smell remained and I noticed an oil stain where I parked my car. Thought they forgot to put the screw back in but turns out, the oil filter housing was leaking oil. This is potentially very dangerous and now has to be replaced. From what I understand, this part is made from plastic and has caused many problems with this specific model year. A friend of mine also had to replace his. Only have 30k miles on the vehicle so make sure that when you get your oil changed, whoever is servicing the vehicle does not tighten down the filter too much because it can cause the plastic part to crack. Looks like the replacement part has a different number so Jeep may have made a modification to the part.

Oil adaptor/cooler cracking causing massive oil leak in 3. 6l v6 engines for 2014 models. Jeep forums are buzzing with this issue and some of these leaks have resulted in fires. I took mine in after smelling a very strong burning oil smell (not due for an oil change for another 1,200 miles) and seeing oil on the floor of my garage. Jeep is undrivable in this condition and part has to be ordered due to high demand. Was told that Chrysler acknowledged the issue being widespread and even mentioned that a recall may be coming down the pipeline. But that doesn't help me and the hundreds of others I've seen who had to get this fixed thus far.

Oil filter housing/cooler leak breaks on numerous low mileage Wranglers, mostly on or before 25,000 miles. Mine was at 21,000 miles when it crack and leaked profusely. This leaks spread quickly and motor oil was gathering on the exhaust pipe under the engine bay. This created smoke from the burning oil which could eventually lead to a vehicle fire. I was lucky enough to find the issue quickly and diagnose it. This also is an environmental issue, having fluids especially engine oil, leak onto roadways or other driving surfaces. Jeep has yet to formally admit to this issue, those several if not all dealers are aware of this issue in the 2014 year model. Cherokee owners are also reporting the same issue, and come to find out the Wrangler and cherokee share this same exact part. Jeep has focused on cutting productions costs rather than safety. This needs to be addressed to Jeep and Chrysler immediately.

Noticed a burning oil smell and traced down the source as a cracked oil filter adaptor. Took it to a repair shop where they examined the part and verified that was the source of the oil leak.

Cracked oil cooler/filter housing causing oil leak and burning oil at top of motor.

Burning smell of oil, part was cracked. Dealership even said it is a poor design. This needs to be a recall. This could've been a fire or an engine disaster with the amount of oil coming out of the vehicle.

I have a 2014 Wrangler jk with 10,900 miles and I have a 5 mile drive to work. Two days ago, January 14, 2015 as I exited the vehicle, I smell burnt oil. I lifted the hood, I don't see anything like oil. I looked underneath for a drip or puddle, but I saw nothing. As I left work later that afternoon, I looked under the Jeep and there appeared to be a slight puddle of leaking oil. I drove 5 miles home. After I got there, I observed a good sized oil puddle on the driveway midway under Jeep with smoke coming out of the exhaust! I had Jeep towed to dealership and I was I just advised that it was the oil cooler/adapter housing. I had 10,900 miles on odometer when it occurred. I hope Chrysler engineers a replacement part fast! otherwise, the fine folks at Jeep may be looking at catastrophic engine failure and/or fire from oil coming in contact with hot engine or drive line parts on all of the my 2014 jks! this is a known issue that was first reported in may 2014.

Had oil changed by dealership and began to smell a burned oil smell. Thought maybe oil dripped on engine during oil change. Then noticed small oil puddle under Jeep in parking spot and oil on underside of Jeep. Took in for service and dealer stated saw oil but no idea where it's coming from, washed down engine told to watch for oil. Oil leak continues to worsen and call for appointment which is 2 weeks out because loaner is needed. Oil down 1/2 quart from leaking. Come home tonight and large oil puddle under Jeep. Lift hood and take off engine cover and a large pool of oil on top of engine right next to oil filter housing. Do some research on web and it appears that cracked oil filter housings are an issue on the 2014 Wranglers. Call dealership and they are unable to move up appointment because no loaners are available. Tell me to keep driving and just topping off oil every day even tho my new Wrangler is now covered in motor oil on the whole underside. Here are pics of the issue and information on the problem. .
