36 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/02/2016

I've noticed for the past few months like leakage on the ground but have yet to pinpoint the exact location. I took it to the Jeep dealership and asked if they have had any issues with leaks and danced around the question and said I would need to leave it for a mechanic to look at it, I asked if my warranty was still valid and the had ran my VIN and said it was expired. . . . . . Which is puzzling cause I have around 30k miles on it. So I still have a mystery leak and reading up on different forums seems to be on ongoing issues with cooling oil lines or oil filter adapter, oil cooler cooler.

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.

41 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/12/2014

I was driving my Jeep at night in a residential neighborhood. I looked down and there was a sharp turn in the road. By the time I realized it, it was too late and I hit the guard rail. The fire started right in front of my windshield. I was able to get out but within minutes my entire Jeep that was less that a year old at the time was completely consumed in flames. The front end was still in tact so the damage in my opinion was not nearly enough to result in total loss.

42 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/02/2014

I took my Jeep in for an oil change and tire rotation. They found massive amounts of oil leaking, but not from the oil pan. My car was bought in October/November 2013 new. They have had my car for 5 days. It appears from reading the other postings this seems to be happening with 2014 Jeep Wranglers.

43 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/28/2014

I purchased a 2014 Jeep Wrangler, unlimited freedom edition on February 21, 2014. On June 28, 2014, I was driving the above named Jeep on an interstate at a speed of approximately 65-70 mph. The Jeep has a "soft" top. (I have never touched the top because I didn't know how to perform the task of retracting the top to fold down or fold it up to reattach the top. I decided that when I wanted to retract the top that I'd have to read the instructions from the Jeep owner's guide and then perform the task. I've had the Jeep for approximately 4 months. I don't drive it much, therefore I had not decided to try and perform that task yet. ) as I was travelling on the interstate, as mentioned above, the top on the Jeep unpredictably flew open and backward. The Jeep top, after the incident, was hanging on the Jeep about 1/4 parts on the rear top of the Jeep. The remainder of the Jeep top had broken and detached from the body structure of the Jeep from the upper front top to about 3/4 parts of the way backward, toward the rear of the Jeep. I was so afraid and in horrific shock! I pulled over off the interstate and turned the Jeep off. I was shacking out of fear and shock from this incident. All I could think at that moment was. . . "what if that top had flown all the way off of the Jeep and caused another person in a vehicle near me, on the interstate, to have an accident and perhaps been killed". I am horrified!!! I, personally, would consider this a serious safety defect!.

I already brought it to the dealer once and they said nothing wrong and nothing recorded. What happened, driving down the road and every warning light came on flashing then stops. The traction control light stayed on. The second time they all lit up when I stopped the Jeep didn't start, everything had power just didn't start and when I took the key out the instrument panel said key still in the ignition. After about 20 minutes the Jeep started and the engine check light was on. Took it in to dealer and they said nothing wrong bring it in when it happens again. And it happened again as I described above. Found on another forum that they had to get the sensor replaced. Anyone else have this problem and if so what did you find out to correct the issue. I am bringing it back to the dealer Monday.

45 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2014

Compliant about not fixing recall within reasonable time. Received recall notice in January and have been told that parts are not available. I was told by both the dealership and Chrysler group recall assistance center that when parts are available, they only receive/ship one part to each dealership. Current wait time according to dealership based on the waiting list is over 6 months.
