Engine Oil Leaking Problems of Jeep Wrangler - part 2

Engine oil cooler has failed 2 times once at around 70k miles and again at 90k miles. Oil leaks on top of engine block and runs down the back to the transmission on to the exhaust and could easily cause a fire. Fiat does not care when I reported it and it is a very common problem with the engine in multiple vehicles. Dealer wanted $3,000 to replace it when the problem was 12 dollar o rings on the adapter. The plastic housing that sits on top of a hot engine flexes and allows the o rings to leak. There has to be a way to replace that part with something safer but they wont cause it would cost them to much money and good luck proving what happened to start the fire when the plastic housing just burns away in a fire or your engine blows to low oil.

My 2014 Jeep Wrangler jku has 86737 miles and developed an oil leak. I took it to the dealer for diagnostics/repair, and was told "massive leak from oil cooler has saturated engine block valley and spilling over on to transmission and under body". As stated from the dealer, the oil leak does not drain from the engine, but pools in the engine block valley until it fills and then runs over the rest of the transmission/engine. This creates a fire hazard. . As stated from the dealer, the oil filter/cooler assembly (mopar part # 05184294ae) is located in the engine block valley, so it is very protected from external damage. The seals just leak. This defect cost over $1000 to repair. From the number of other occurrences I have read about, there should be a recall on this issue.

Took in for oil change and they found a leak in the back of the engine on the drivers side dripping down after the oil change. Could not find where it was coming from.

The plastic oil filter housing cracked at about 26,000 miles causing a major engine oil leak from the top of the engine. Oil has leaked down and splattered all over the undercarriage of the vehicle and onto the transmission and exhaust pipe causing significant smoking and a potential fire hazard. The mechanic advised that this is a common failure on 3. 6l pentastar v6 engines and the the only fix is a replacement of the part at a cost of $830.

The oil cooler/filter housing is leaking oil. This is a common issue on the 2014 Jeep Wrangler as evidenced across ownership forums and websites. The vehicle only has 63,000 miles and is driven on normal city/highway streets. All normal maintenance has been done on time at dealerships. I feel that a recall should be considered for this part due to the volume of repairs and the numerous re-designs that Jeep has performed on the replacement parts. The redesigns signal that Jeep knows there is an inherent design issue that leads to failure.

I was just starting a drive home when suddenly my cars "check engine" light came on and it refused to go higher than 3rd gear. Within minutes, my engine was starting to overheat. I was lucky enough to coast into a nearby auto repair place for them to check things out. Their diagnosis was that my oil cooling housing cracked and has been leaking oil everywhere, including the undercarriage (which I'm told is a fire hazard). They also said it's a very common problem with the 2014 models and they're shocked Jeep hasn't issued a recall on it. I later did some reading and found hundreds, if not thousands, of other people who have had the same problem. A recall should be issued for this faulty part instead of making all of us pay $750+ to fix it.

I own a 2014 Jeep Wrangler unlimited sport. Went for my oil change at the dealership and they told me I need to replace the oil cooler assembly because it cracked and is leaking oil and the engine oil is pooling in the pan. At the tune of $1200. I went home and found this is manufacturing defect with hundreds/ thousands have this problem with their 2014 Wranglers. I see just a few who had this covered under warranty but not without a hassle from dealerships. Most, like myself are told it's not covered. 5 year/ 100,000 mi. Now 6 years. I believe I've had this problem for awhile but now after warranty expired it's brought to my attention. The problem lies with a piece changed from metal to plastic. It cracked and will be replaced with another plastic piece that will most likely crack again. If that's not bad enough, I see it's also a safety hazard! hot oil pooled in the bottom pan and on the engine has caused fires. Jeep on their own hasn't made the oil cooler crack a recall. No surprise there. But it's time they need to be responsible for this manufacturing defect ! look at how many have this same problem! please!!.

Oil filter housing/cooler seems to be leaking. This seems to be a widespread problem with Chrysler products. I am not sure how long this issue has been occuring but it seems to be getting worse.

The plastic oil filter housing cracked at about 80,000 miles causing a major engine oil leak from the top of the engine. Oil has leaked down and splattered all over the undercarriage of the vehicle and onto the exhaust pipe causing significant smoking and a potential fire hazard. The mechanic advised that this is a common failure on 3. 6l pentastar v6 engines and the the only fix is a replacement of the part. The mechanic also provided his opinion that the cause of the failure is a poor design due to material durability. The vehicle has been maintained at its regular intervals and has received light to moderate use over its lifetime so far with mostly highway miles.

My vehicle is well maintained. Oil leaked all over the engine and onto my garage floor from a faulty engine oil cooler & intake gasket set. This was a very expensive repair that I can't afford. My mechanic (small shop) fixes this same repair 2-3 times a week. That is ridiculous and something needs to be done to reimburse Jeep Wrangler owners that have a huge oil spills to clean up.

There's a leak coming from the oil filter housing unit and d it's causing a very noticeable ticking from motor at all times.

Began leaking small amount of oil under Jeep after use. Took to have issue investigated. Mechanic found the intake gasket on rear of intake causing the issue. Estimated cost to fix $600+ this appears to be a common issue for this Jeep, thus Jeep has never been off road and this should not have occurred. It should be covered under drive train warrenty or a recall as this a manufacturer issue.
