So I was driving into work on the interstate yesterday around 10am, and my jeep started to die out of nowhere. I almost got in a wreck. I was able to pull over on the side, and the engine light came on and I took it straight to the auto mechanic. I guess my oil filter housing unit is bad and is causing my oil to leak. The auto mechanic said this is a KNOWN issue in the design flaws of Crysler vehicles including my jeep wrangler with the 3.6L engines. This could have gone much worst for me, and after doing some more research this is happening in their 3.6L Engines and is a confirmed design flaw. The issue is reported to affect vehicles with the Pentastar V6 engine, including models like the Jeep Wrangler, Chrysler 300, and Dodge Charger, from around 2013 to 2021. They are saying it's not a safety issue, yet I almost caused an accident as my jeep started to die while driving 70 mph. This needs to be recalled asap!!! It more than likely has already caused accidents.

ABS control module gives error code, attempt to purchase replacement at dealer, dealer said they are on back order pending engineering review and will not be available until the end of march 2025 and will likely be pushed out again, this is a serious a safety issue, if you research it the web is full of issues where jeeps have caught on fire and or breaking went out. The manufacture is using "under engineering review" to skirt the need to issue a recall this need to be investigated, my jeep has sat for 4 months this is more that adequate time to review the issue. please feel free to contact me at [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Lack of oil in the heads after sitting for a while results in dry valve train at start up and over time results in premature failure of hydraulic lifters not pumping up and rocker arms and cams being dry until oil reaching these parts.

Same problem that I'm having is happening to thousands of people. People are either swapping engines ($20k+) or fixing for ($5k+)Sand debris left in 3.6 engine at time of manufacturing that causes cooling system repair and eventually engine head replacement because of misfire warning. My jeep has 60k miles. Have already replace radiator 2 years ago and now I'm getting misfire on cylinder 2. Ran compression test on cylinder 2 . Only 80 psi showing on gauge compared to 150 psi in the other cylinders. Head is bad. There has been a extended warranty on older jeeps with same engine to fix the issue but, not for 2014 and up. Which makes no sense. PLEASE HELP

I am getting ready to replace the oil cooler for the third time since 2022, how can I get a refund or maybe just recalling them. It seems to crack when I drive it every time it’s below 10° and I know this is not normal and it is not a cheap fix.

Unknown But my concern is the clock spring recall. I would like that fixed I don't understand why I can't have it fixed under the recall for my Jeep Wrangler 2 door. I am worried that the air bag won't work... right now the horn and a few other controls on the steering wheel doesn't work. So I believe this vehicle is part of the recall.

**Incident Description:** While driving my Jeep Wrangler, the ABS warning light illuminated on the dashboard. Upon further inspection and research, it was determined that the ABS control module had failed, affecting the vehicle's braking system. This failure poses a significant safety risk, as it compromises the anti-lock braking function and overall stability during emergency stops or adverse road conditions. I have discovered that this issue is not isolated to my vehicle; it has been reported as a recurring problem among Jeep Wrangler owners on various forums and online communities. Many owners have shared similar experiences with the ABS control module failing and the warning light appearing. To date, the problem has not been resolved. The vehicle has been inspected by an independent service center, which confirmed the failure of the ABS control module. No prior symptoms or warning lamps were observed until the ABS warning light appeared. This appears to be a systemic issue affecting numerous Jeep Wranglers, warranting further investigation and potentially a recall to ensure driver safety.

The radiator is poorly built and leaks, I have had mine replace several times by the dealership This is dangerous because it causes overheating in the engine which can cause hose to bust and engine to seize up . The oil filter house is engineered incorrect and all of them have been breaking causing oil to leak which again, ruins other components in the engine because of loss of oil. Its dangerous because the oil that leaks down through the outer portion of the engine, through to the sides and leaks over the bottom of the transmission onto the ground which is: 1. Environmental hazard- oil leaking causes water pollution, soil contamination, harm to animals and plants 2. Leaking oil is a FIRE HAZARD and safety issues for other vehicles causing slippery conditions for other vehicles 3. Causes engine damage and eventually failure I urge you to obtain the records of all the repairs jeep dealers did both under warranty and past the warranty dates. Your team will see what an issue this is and the 10000000s of Jeep Wranglers that have had these unsafe problems with the OIL Filter Housing and Radiator issues during and after the warranty. Jeep / Chrysler have created a deceptive way for revenue by allowing Jeep dealers to charge the customers for faulty engineering so they can gain profits in repairs that is the Manufacturer's own fault thereby gouging Jeep Wrangler owners.

while driving at an 50 MPH speed, the check engine warning light illuminated and flashing continuously. The vehicle was not in drivable condition since it was unusually vibrating while either standing or driving at very low speed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined that there was a cylinder #2 misfire, and that the valve, cylinder head or crack on the casting causing this issue. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

The steering wheel clock spring fail and jeep has always given me hassles at the dealership and it was not convenient to where I lived. So I had my local shop fix it. They asked me where and why I got it fixed somewhere else and I answered. They even have a reimbursement from for work done by other shops and they outright denied my claim. I drove a year with no airbag because they installed faulty products that allowed dust to enter my clock spring and risk my life. I want reimbursement. It was $1400 to get it fixed and I should not be liable for that when they have a reimbursement section and don’t outline what does and does not qualify. They won’t provide me with exact verbiage or where I would even see that on the page. Please help me. I’m begging. It’s so much money for me and nothing for a mega corporation like Stellantis.

ABS Module. The safety lights are on for the ABS Module. We verified the fuses were all good, and replaced them with new ones, just in case. I took the car to a mechanic who used a handheld computer to reset the warning. The warning lights came back on as soon as I started the engine. My mechanic attempted to order the module, but we are getting that it is on back order. We had been told it would be at the dealership in Oct 16th, but is still not available today Oct 31st. I understand that if for any reason I have to slam on the breaks, there is a chance that my brakes will fail. I entered our VIN but received the message that our Jeep is not listed as on recall. Other 2015 Jeeps are on the list, but ours has failed?? Doesn't seem right. I'm was not looking for free to begin with, but do need to correct this issue. Neither option is to available.

Misfire still present, noted others have reported issues with cylinder head (valves, cams, rockers). Engine has a slight tick, found no recalls on NHTSA site except for 2014 versions with same engine for this exact issue.

The engine has a known failure causing a cylinder misfire that is resolved by replacing the cylinder heads. This is a known issue to FCA and caused an extension of the powertrain warranty for the 2010-2014 models but does not cover later engines, that are still experiencing the same issues. The covered years needs to be extended to 2018 or beyond and all out-of-pocket repair costs should be refunded to the consumer.

My horn and all my steering wheel controls just stopped working due to a failure of the clock spring. This should be a recall as it's a safety issue.

My Jeep has the pentastar 3.6l engine and has recently developed what is known as the “pentastar tick”. This is caused by a design flaw with the valvetrain, specifically the lifters/rocker arms that causes excessive wear which leads to the tick, which may then lead to engine failure and loss of control. This is a very common problem with the 3.6 engine and FCA should be held responsible for the safety recall. FCA has already acknowledged the problem on 2012-2014 engines, and extended the warranty, but not on the later engines. Please look out for the consumer and hold them accountable.
