OIL COOLING HOUSE IS CRACKED, DUE TO EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER IN OKLAHOMA. OIL IS LEAKING AND THERE IS A BURNING SMELL WHEN DRIVING. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, THIS OEM PART IS ON BACK ORDER, CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE WITH DRIVING. THE CHANCE OF AN ENGINE FIRE / BLOWN ENGINE DUE TO LOW OIL. BEING A JEEP OWNER THIS BACK ORDER IS UNACCEPTABLE. AT THIS TIME, I HAVE AN ESTIMATE FOR $1600.00 IN REPAIRS TO FIX THIS ISSUE WITH A JEEP DEALER IN TOWN

BRAKES LOCKED UP IN DRIVEWAY AFTER STARTING VECHICLE. BRAKE PEDAL WAS FULLY DEPRESSED WITH NO ASSISTANCE FROM DRIVER. VECHICLE TAKE TO DEALER AND PROBABLE CAUSE WAS BRAKE CONTROLLER IN REAR FLOOR AREA GETTING WET. CAUSE OF WATER IN VECHICLE IS CLOGGED AIR CONDITIONER DRAIN. THE CLOGGING OF THIS DRAIN IS AN ONGOING SITUATION WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE SAFETY PROBLEM IS THAT THE VECHICLE IS TOWED BEHIND A MOTORHOME AND THIS REQUIRES A BRAKE CONTROLLER TO BE INSTALLED. THE INSTALLATION ON THIS VECHICLE IS ON THE REAR FLOOR BEHIND THE DRIVER. IF THE UNIT WERE TO GET WET AND THE BRAKES LOCK UP IT COULD CAUSE THE MOTOR HOME OPERATOR TO LOSE CONTROL AND/OR CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE MOTORHOME OR TOWED VECHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE DRAIN PROBLEM AND HAS ISSUED NO SAFETY WARNING REGARDING THE PLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE CONTROLLER. THE VECHICLE IN QUESTION IS A FAVORITE TOW VECHICLE OF MANY RV OWNERS.

My Jeep Wrangler was having significant engine issues with shaking, random noises and vibrations, and it turns out the Engine Oil Cooler had a crack in it and leaked oil all over the intake manifold/under carriage of the vehicle. Upon speaking with over 15 dealerships in Southern California, they noted that there were over 40,000 of this replacement part on back-order as of March 2020. I had to wait two months to get the part delivered, which meant I went two months without a vehicle, and then had to pay over $800+ on a part + labor on an item that should absolutely be recalled. There are thousands of posts on Wrangler Forum and other Jeep pages that share the exact same issue. Jeep has ignored this issue since 2014, and it's only occurring in more vehicles now. This part breaking can cause engine seizure or failure and should not be a cost to the customer as there is CLEARLY a nation-wide problem that Chrysler is ignoring.

IT STARTED WITH A SMALL OIL LEAK THAT TURNED INTO A BIG OIL LEAK COMING FROM THE OIL COOLER. THE HIGH THE TEMPERATURE THE MORE OIL THAT WOULD COME OUT. THIS OIL IS MIXED WITH COOLANT AS WELL. THIS IS NOT SAFE BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO CRACK AND THEY WILL NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS CAN BE A REAL SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU CAN LOSE OIL PRESSURE WHICH CAN CAUSE ENGINE TO FAIL.

NOTICED AN OIL SPOT IN THE DRIVEWAY. TOOK THE JEEP TO MY MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A CRACKED OIL COOLER. HE SAID THAT THIS IS THE THIRD ONE HE HAS SEEN AND THE SECOND IN 2 WEEKS. ON THE FIRST ONE HE DID HE SAID IT TOOK 6 WEEKS TO GET THE PART AND THAT HIS CUSTOMER DROVE 6 HOURS TO GET THE PART. THERE IS A SEVERE BACK ORDER ON THESE PARTS. I HAVE NOW BEEN WAITING FOR 3 WEEKS FOR MY MECHANIC TO GET THE PART. HE WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT THE NEXT EXPECTED DELIVERY WOULD AROUND MAY 3RD. THAT WILL BE 6 WEEKS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO USE MY VEHICLE. THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN ABOUT SINCE 2014. IT STARTED TO HAPPEN TO VEHICLES WITH LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON THEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PART. OR AT LEAST REDESIGN AND MAKE ENOUGH PARTS TO COVER THE DEMAND. WHY HAS THIS BEEN ALLOWED TO HAPPEN? $1000 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM.

OIL COOLER HOUSING IS MADE WITH 2 TYPES OF MATERIAL THAT DOESN'T HAVE EQUAL CONTROL OF OIL EXPANSION WHEN IT IS HOT, THEREFORE HAVING TO REPLACE A OIL COOLER HOUSING BECAUSE OF THE PLASTIC PART OF IT CRACKED RESULTING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE KIT. I HAD TO REPLACE IT 3 TIMES, BUT ONLY PAID ONCE OF THE REPLACEMENT COST. THE OTHER 2 WERE UNDER WARRANTY. I'VE RESEARCHED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH JEEP PART, PARTICULARLY WITH THE OIL COOLER HOUSING KIT. METAL AND PLASTIC SHOULD NOT BE A COMPLETE KIT TO CONTROL THE OIL FLOW. HEAT REACTIONS ARE NOT THE SAME.

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE CHRYSLER RECALL THE 3.6L V6 FOR THEIR OIL FILTER COOLER BASE BREAKING. I'M LUCKY MY VEHICLE DIDN'T CATCH FIRE WITH ALL THE HOT OIL RUNNING DOWN OVER THE ENGINE.

AT 63,000 MILES MY 2014 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT 4X4 STARTED LEAKING OIL REALLY BAD. LOOKED UP PROBLEMS PEOPLE HAVE WITH OIL LEAKS VIA THE INTERNET. FOUND OUT THERE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN A THOUSANDS OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS HAPPENING ALL OF A SUDDEN. TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT IS LEAKING FROM A CRACKED "ENGINE OIL COOLER AND OIL FILTER HOUSING ADAPTER". CALLED AROUND FOR THIS PART AND ALL DEALERS HAD A BACK ORDER ON THIS PART AND DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD BE GETTING THEM IN. FINALLY LOCATED ONE FROM A DEALER IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THROUGH A PERSON I KNEW PERSONALLY THAT WORKED FOR A DEALER. HE SAID THERE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN 4,200 ORDERS FOR THIS PART IN JUST SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. THIS IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM! THIS CAN LEAD TO THE ENGINE CATCHING FIRE. ALSO A VERY EXPENSIVE COST FOR JUST THE PART AND THAN THEY STILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE UPPER AND LOWER INTAKE PLENUM GASKETS NEEDING REPLACEMENT WHEN THIS PART IS REPLACED. THE LEAKING OF OIL HAS BEEN HAPPENING OVER A WEEK OR SO.

WHEN CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL IN THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS NONE SHOWING ON THE DIP STICK. ALL OIL HAD LEAKED OUT OF VEHICLE. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP.

THIS PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND NOT EXPECTED TO BE AVAILABLE FOR 45 OR MORE DAYS. THIS TELLS ME THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE.

RUNNING ERRANDS IN THE JEEP I STARTED TO SMELL BURNING OIL WHILE STOPPED WITH THE ENGINE IDLING. RETURNED HOME TO NOTICE THERE WAS ENGINE OIL DRIPPING FROM TRANSMISSION, DRIVESHAFTS AND SKID PLATES. I TRACED THE OIL BACK UP TO THE ENGINE AND THEN FURTHER TO THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. THERE IS ENGINE OIL AND COOLANT POOLED IN THE VALLEY BETWEEN THE ENGINE HEADS, UNDERNEATH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE DIAGNOSIS IS THE OIL FILTER/COOLER ASSEMBLY. EITHER THE O-RINGS ARE BAD OR THE PLASTIC HOUSING HAS CRACKED. THE JEEP IS OUT OF WARRANTY FOR BOTH THE BUMPER TO BUMPER AND THE POWERTRAIN. HOWEVER, THE JEEP HAS LESS THAN 50K MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE REPAIR WILL BE DONE BY MY SELF AS MY ABILITIES ARE COMPETENT AND I REFUSE TO PAY 1200.00 DOLLARS FOR A MECHANIC OR DEALERSHIP TO PERFORM THIS TASK, PARTICULARLY SEEING THE TOTAL COST OF PARTS IS LESS THAN 250.00. FCA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AS LEAKS IN THE LUBRICATING AND COOLING SYSTEM COULD RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE, VEHICLE FIRES, LOSS OF LIFE OR GREAT BODILY HARM AND HARM TO SURROUNDING INDIVIDUALS, PROPERTY AND/OR THE ENVIRONMENT.
