2014 Wrangler, less than 60,000 miles, oil filter housing cracked. Leaks a ton of oil now, splashed in the exhaust, stinks, and could possible start a fire. For some reason this is a known issue for this particular year and model but there isn't a recall 🤔.

Oil filter housing is leaking, causing copious amounts of engine oil to leak over the engine and transmission and dropping down on to engine exhaust causing it smoke and emit noxious fumes into the vehicle cabin. Potential for fire is extremely high, I had to pull over and exit vehicle due to the amount of smoke coming into the cabin from the underneath. Upon investigating I initially thought my transmission had blown a line because of how much oil was coating the undercarriage of the Jeep.

Mopar oil cooler housing, which houses a cooler and oil filter, sits on the engine and has cracked, causing oil to leak out of it. Oil leaks down the engine and onto the transmission housing. This is a fire hazard and a common issue with 2014's, which can be found via a quick and simple google search. Car was stationary when I discovered the leak. Car dealership verified the issue and supplied me with an estimate, stating this is a well known issue. About 3 hour repair and could cost 700-1100.

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.

Oil cooler housing leaking oil at 30,000 miles.

At 167414 miles found clutch slipping, troubleshot to clutch being saturated with engine oil. Prior to the clutch slipping the oil filter housing cracked twice and replaced under warranty twice, suspected leak caused clutch to be saturated. Dealer place dye in oil to verify leak is fixed. Also trying to work with dealer to replace clutch at reasonable price sonce damage was caused by a warrantied part. While transmission was out also found transmission fluid leak from the input shaft seal I have asked dealer to fix this issue, but only recommended a transmission service, nothing to verify the leak and verify the input shaft is not scorned or damaged. Will take to another dealer after being checked for the dye, on the recommendation of Jeep customer service. Photos attached show oil around clutch, bell housing coated with oil and the input shaft leak.

I have the 2014 Jeep Wrangler with only 47000 miles. I have kept excellent care of this vehicle and it is used only as daily driver with no abuse whatsoever. Just within the month of 2/2019 a code; p0305 misfire developed with the typical penastar engine "knock" and idling rough. Also, the last week of 2/2019 there was a large oil spot on my garage floor due to an oil cooler/oil housing leak. We immediately contacted the service supervisor at the dealership who stated that this has been a common occurance and the oil cooler/housing unit is replaced often. How it is possible that Chrysler can allow this? at 47000 miles this should never happen and is enexceptable. Until this extensive repair is completed the vehicle is is rendered useless and my job is now interrupted. Now in addtion to the misfire I now have this huge oil leak to contend with; please refer to the picture attached of the oil stain that was discovered on my garage floor. . . . The entire bottom of the of my transmission/bell housing and cross member covered in oil. Moreover I just received an letter informing me that the passenger side air bag also is recalled and I have yet to address this as well. I will never purchase another Chrysler product again. I can't tell you the level of disappointment and betrayal I feel for buying an "american made" car. I hope Chrysler/fiat corperate is enjoying short changing the consumer buy using inferior and faulty parts to save money and rip off the consumer this way. I am sure no one cares and I am just wasting my time but this should be noted and people made aware.

40000 miles and the rear main seal is already leaking bad. Happened when I first bought it in 2016 and the dealer said nothing was wrong or leaking as I was loosing oil. . Now it's leaking terribly bad and they won't cover it.

First few years had 2 major oil leaks where they took apart car to repair. I brought car in for oil change asking them to check oil that is leaking from bottom. Was told nothing was leaking. Weeks later my engine went out while driving 2 cylinders $4000 repair. Two months out of warranty. Now my Jeep is leaking oil again and I'm sure if I trust the Jeep dealer at this point.

I recently drove my Jeep about 14 hours roundtrip for thanksgiving. I checked the oil right before because I knew an oil change was coming up, but it was still fine so I didn't worry about it. On the way home, the �change oil soon� light came on, so I checked it again when I got home and it was completely dry! I'm not really sure how it was still running. I put more oil in it and took it to the dealer and they found a crack in the oil cooler. I hadn't had an issue with leaking until this point, but I heard others with the same type of car have had the same issue.

Noticed oil on my driveway two months after a routine oil change. Took to the dealer and the oil filter housing was cracked. Jeep only had 41k miles on it, resulting in a $1050 repair cost to replace. I normally take it to an oil change place (mr good lube), but they refused to work on my Jeep this time since they were aware of this oil filter housing issue (and I am guessing have been blamed). I took it to my normal mechanic instead for the oil change. Two months later, the oil started leaking so was forced to take it to the dealer.

Add me to the long list of people with engine oil leaking from the oil filter/cooler.

Oil cooler housing cracking under normal conditions causing oil to leak. Given the relatively slow but consistent leak this problem can go very easily unnoticed but result in catastrophic engine failure and ultimately cause accidents. If this part completely fails there may be no warning time and cause engine seize and/or permanent engine damage. Part has been re-designed multiple times and is a very well known issue in many 2014 and other year Jeep Wrangler vehicles. Part should be recalled and vehicles suspected to have this part inspected for leaking oil. In my scenario I noticed dripping oil from around both sides of the transmission bell housing but unable to trace to the source at first. After reading a few forums I looked down along side the oil filter housing and found a puddle of oil laying in the valley of the engine. Many others have reported this very same issue and the fact that the part has been re-designed so many times and can cause safety concerns, I would like NHTSA so please investigate this.

Summary: oil cooler housing cracked. This occurred at less than 51,000. We were lucky that it happened in our garage rather then while driving the vehicle. The vehicle was unsafe to drive due to the oil leak and had to be towed for repairs. If we had been driving it could have caused engine failure. Covered under power train warranty but seems to be a common theme with the 2014s. Request research help.

Oil filter housing leak. $700 repair. This is a piece of plastic that needs to be recalled and replaced for good with something that will actually hold up. This piece failed at 60000 miles. . .

Takata recall vehicle was in park noticed oil drops on concrete inspection under the Jeep showed no leaks went to Jeep forum discovered leak was at top, the plastic oil cooler was the problem, oil drips down into a v type reservoir so therefore when you take off at the reservoir full of oil now blows all under the motor. Went on to Jeep forum and noticed that the complaint had been done numerous times by thousands of people where the part before used to be made out of metal was now being made out of plastic so the part is faulty and needs looked into thank you.
