Cracked oil cooler released extreme amounts of oil into engine compartment and throughout engine and undercarriage. The oil spill represents a safety concern for not only road/pavement slip hazard and brake contamination but also presents a fire hazard as it occurs in the engine compartment near electrical and heated elements. After scheduling replacement, part is out of stock due to heavy demand for this particular year. After calling multiple part suppliers and dealers it appears this is a very common occurrence in this year only.

With less than 30,000 miles, this car developed a "death wobble." At unpredictable moments, the whole car will start shaking and it is nearly impossible to control the steering wheel. Until you slow down to almost a stop, the shaking continues indefinitely. I've since discovered that this a known problem with Jeeps, but Jeep refuses to contribute a penny to fixing it.

The passenger side of the front sway bar came out of the electronic sway bar disconnect housing which disconnected the sway bar unknowingly and unintentionally, causing an extremely unstable driving condition. There was no indication of the occurrence as far as warning lights on the dash. The only way it was discovered was because I assumed the springs or shocks were worn out to cause the condition. While replacing the front shocks, I noticed the sway bar was pulled out of the housing. We had numerous close calls on the freeway with near roll overs due to this condition. The manual states you should never exceed speeds of 18 MPH when sway bar is disconnected. However, we had been on numerous trips travelling on the freeway at speeds of 80 MPH. I contacted Jeep repeatedly and was jus

I own a 2014 Jeep Wrangler, Rubicon. I have not been able to drive my Jeep for 3 years because the ABS light is on and I am unable to get the part to replace it. I have heard from several other Jeep owners that they are experiencing the same ABS failure. The ABS light has been on since 2022 and there are no MOPAR ABS replacement parts. I would like to officially report this failure because I have not been able to resolve this issue. I have taken my Jeep to several mechanics and they cannot repair this issue because their are no parts available.

My engine light came on. We got the machine attached the code read po520 engine oil pressure sensor circuit. When we called the dealership they said it wasn't under warranty any longer and wouldn't repair. While I researched we found a technical service bulletin that was issued prior to the warranty expiration. The oil sensor should have and could have been replaced prior to the warranty expiring if the dealerships were mandated to notify and fix all repairs related to defective parts. During my research we found that the passenger side airbag is a recall in extended warranty status. Regardless if we got the extended warranty it is illegal for a dealership to sell a used vehicle with a defective airbag or a recall. It is also illegal for me not to get it fixed or my registration can be rev
