Nine problems related to radiator have been reported for the 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Twice, end of may 2019 and February of 2020 I had scheduled oil changes done at same dealer. By the end of those days, Jeep would not run, check engine light blinking and would barely start, not run. Both times towed back to dealership, both times under warranty. First time I was told a broken valve spring and valve cover had leaked oil into ignition system. Valve spring/cover work covered, tune up and redoing ignition system not. . . ? was told to contact manufacturer, they told me to contact dealer. This time(2/2020) towed in, took six days to be told broken valve spring/valve cover but also a defective cylinder head. Also told cylinder head on back order, could be months. Vehicle is maintained according to manufacturers schedules, don't do tractor pulling with it, this appears to be a known defective, just like the bad radiators or heating system gooped up with sand. Thank you.
Radiator leak, with less than 70k miles the hoses were replaced but still leaking with smell of antifreeze.
My Jeep has a 38375 miles on it and I took it the dealer cause I kept smelling coolant and I thought I had a leak in the plastic anti freeze holder they put the truck on the lift and said I have two leaks on the seals why is that the car shouldn't have a leak in the radiator this soon the car is not old the car now smokes so I have now stop driving the truck this should also be covered under the warranty.
Radiator leaking coolant on driver side tank. I've smelled coolant since new but never seen a leak until warranty was expired. I currently have less than 30,000mi contacted dealer and was told simply no warranty. Reading about this problem online seems to be a common issue.
Tl the contact owns a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. While driving various speeds, the contact smelled fumes inside the vehicle. Johnson Dodge Chrysler Jeep ram (481 us-46, budd lake, NJ 07828, (908) 850-8700) informed the contact that the radiator needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 10,890.
My 2015 Jeep Wrangler with less than 36,000 miles (current mileage is 31,000) developed a hole in the upper right (facing the vehicle) on the radiator. Only factory authorized antifreeze was in the cooling system. In fact, the coolant had never been touched since purchasing it new April 17th, 2015. This past fall I knew I had a leak and took it to the dealer. They said it was leaking oil around my oil filter and ended up charging me $46. 00 for an oil change; however, the mechanic (pete) could not explain the leak. I felt the fluid on my garage floor with my fingers and honestly thought is was part oil and antifreeze. Now, on Wednesday December 26, 2018 they are going to replace the radiator and the dealer's estimate was approximately $800. 00 dollars. In short, no radiator should blow a hole in the sidewall of the radiator with so few miles and time.
Noticed smell of coolant when vehicle was parked. I was not able to locate the leak. There were no puddles of coolant or detectable drips. Took vehicle to the dealer. I was told radiator needed to be replaced and would not be covered under warranty. Vehicle has @ 26,000 miles. 3 year warranty expiered 5 months ago. Vehicle has been dealer maintained since purchased new. Contacted Jeep customer service to request assistance. I was told sorry can't help warranty has expired. There are no indications of abuse or outside damage to radiator. Radiator failure is an obvious manufacturing defect.
Radiator reservoir was found to be low at around 9,000 miles during first oil change. Along, with a slight smell of antifreeze when the vehicle was warm. The reservoir was top off with no signs of leaks from reservoir and smell was thought to be coming from reservoir. Both issues continued with no signs of visible leaks upon inspection of coolant system. So issues was thought to taken till reservoir was found low again at around 36,000 miles still no signs of leaks, and reservoir was top off. Continued to monitor with no signs of leaks until the smell of antifreeze began to get stronger and more frequent when vehicle was warm. After internet search, reading about people with similar issues the problem was found. On, engine side of radiator behind fan along the end cap there was noticable signs of leak. Radiator was replaced. Fca informed.
