2014 Jeep Wrangler power train problems

“ABS MODULE FAILING IN 1000'S OF VECHILES AND JEEP HAS NO SOLUTION TO ANY CUSTOMERS. NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE WORLD WIDE. LEAVING PEOPLE STRANDED IN REMOTE PLACES UNABLE TO USE A EXPENSIVE VECHILE. ABS MODULE FAILS AND THEN YOUR VECHIL IS STUCK IN GEAR WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS IN THE TRANSMISSION, SPEEDO FAILS AND VECHILE SITTING ON BICKS FOR YEARS UNTIL SOME TIME A PART BECOMES AVAILABLE IN A SCRAPYARD.”

“Starting in March of 2024 the vehicle began to leak copious amounts of oil. This was noted once the vehicle was parked after driving. It was anywhere from the size of a half dollar to a dinner plate size of oil pooled underneath the oil filter housing on the ground. At this time the Jeep had approximately 103,000 miles. While diagnosing the issue, I had to consistently add many quarts of oil to keep the vehicle operating. During the diagnosis stage, there were many instances where a strong burning smell became obvious from the engine compartment. After consulting with two independent certified mechanics, it was determined that the oil filter housing had become compromised and was the source of the oil leak. The cost for repair was $175 for the part and $950 for labor, plus $200 for a rental. Both mechanics that diagnosed the issue advised they both had replaced this same part on many other Jeep Wrangler JK between the years of 2014-16. While the burning smell was indicative of a possible fire at some point, one mechanic did say one other jeep that had this part fail did catch on fire due to the oil running down through the heated engine as this part is made of…”

“Abs ,traction control, and brake lights stay on I took it to the dealer they told me it was internal failure on the abs module I can't afford 1200$ to fix it I'm in a jeep club this is a common problem it should be recalled and fixed for free it's a safety hazard. And you lose power you can't even pass another car when all the lights are illuminated.”

“When it first started, I would have to be going at minimum 55-60 mph. But it got so bad to the point that I would be going 15-20 mph and out of nowhere my vehicle would start violently shaking and my steering wheel would jerk side to side. The ONLY way to get it to stop would be to completely let off the pedals and let it come to a complete stop by itself. Hitting the brakes could cause it to flip. Having to come to a stop, regardless of the location could cause a serious accident or pile up. Trying to control the steering wheel when this is occurring could cause an accident as well. This is not something that happens here and there. This incident is so frequent that there are websites that try to warn and help others bc it happens so after. Its cost me $4000 trying to fix it. Please look into this and help us resolve this issue before it costs someone their dad or mom or brother or sister, or someone their child or grandchild. Thank you for your time. It is greatly appreciated.”

“Oil filter Housing and Intake Manifold had to be replaced dues a coolant leak. "Common" issue on Jeep's they said. But Despite knowing about this issue, the company has never issued a recall, instead, they redesigned the oil filter housing.”

“The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving 55-60 MPH, the vehicle shut off inadvertently. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact veered to the side of the road. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and drove to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the failure was associated with the transmission. An unknown repair was completed. However, the failure reoccurred several months later. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic where an unknown repair was completed; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated while driving up a steep hill, the vehicle shut off, almost causing another heavy vehicle to crash into the vehicle. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic where an unknown repair was completed. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.”
