I noticed oil under my vehicle. I crawled underneath the vehicle and noticed oil was coating all visible parts of motor. Upon further inspection the oil filter housing assembly has developed a crack in it. This is a plastic piece that is affixed to the engine (heat and plastic do not mix). This has caused oil to leak onto the motor (at approximately 1 quart per 3000 miles driven). This has the potential to cause a fire in the engine bay at any time.

On two occasions during the last month the engine had just died while driving. It happens around 30mph and decelerating. Battery was working because radio stayed on, but lost all other operating functions including automatic steering.

My vehicle has a ticking problem (lifter) for over 8 months. I need to get it fixed and no one works on the engine. Only the dealer. Secondly, my engine light comes on for the thermostat gauge.

At 50,000 miles the transmission valve went out - causing the van to stall while driving. It was replaced. Again after another 50,000 miles this transmission valve is going out and the vehicle is again stalling while driving.

On 1/17/21, the van engine stalled while I was driving on a freeway. This caused loss of power steering and power brakes. I coasted to stop on side of road, waited a bit, and restarted the van. It drove for aout 3 miles when the same thing happened. Problem appears intermittent since it hasn't happened when I brielfy drove the car on 1/18 and 1/19. Dealer is saying they can't find anything wrong with car (took car in to dealer on 1/20)

Vehicle had leaking plastic oil filter housing at 110K miles. After review online, noticed this is a very common design issue all over the 3.6 pentastar V6. Then at 127K, I have now been informed after engine started ticking while driving that timing chain, camshaft etc have failed and engine must be rebuilt and or replaced entirely. I have owned many vehicles and never had one with an engine failure at this low mileage. Small fixes, of course but total catastrophic engine part failure at 127K? Chrysler should be ashamed of this poorly designed engine. They know this engine has problems as they extended engine warranties for 2011-2013 models but I feel like they leave their customers with newer engines high and dry. I will never buy another fca product again as long as I live, and I am a young father with many more vehicles left to buy in my life - this was my first fca vehicle.

I've listed a date below I don't recall the exact date, don't recall the exact mileage, or the exact speed everything listed herein is approximate, if it had happened all day everyday then I could've remembered, but the following has happened on multiple occasions both in winter and in summer. 1. vehicle has stopped on me while driving multiple times, doesn't otherwise seem to drive rough, it has also stalled on me while driving and I make "Y" turns or am driving and stop at a stop sign. I put the van back in park, and it will start back up. It doesn't happen while the car is in park. Sometimes there is a burning smell that is similar to the smell of an airplane. 2. ticking noise when I start and continues while I'm driving and increases as I accelerate. 3. heat and A/C will turn on, on its own, turns on the rear first, and then the front seats after, I can turn it off and it will repeat the process (I've actually recorded it happening). 4. left passenger door closes on its own, won't stay open, clicking noise even if it's closed. 5. interior lights and radio will flicker and go dim then bright (as if switching from night to daytime throughout the whole time I'm driving frequently happens).

- Florence, SC, USA

Transmission went with 56000 miles, getting the car back in almost 4 weeks. Now car just stops dead. Had to tow to dealer again same problem. Scared to drive because after getting car back engine 'rolls'. feels like stopping. I stalled yesterday at intersection and got towed to dealer. The fixed trans but now I have just stopping problem. Looking the problem up I find it's a problem with Chrysler. I can't afford to keep a lemon. Please check it out.

One morning before work when I started the van I noticed the battery light was illuminated. The vehicle drove fine and after work, the light was not on anymore. The van sat all weekend and when I started it up 2 days later the battery light was again illuminated. So I scheduled it to be seen at the dealership. By the time the dealership could get me in, the battery light was no longer on. The dealership ran diagnostics and could find no issues so I picked it up with no resolution. Today has been a week since the dealership looked at the van, the battery light has been on solid for 3 days now and on my way to drive it back to the dealership this morning, it completely died on the side of the road and I had to have it towed the rest of the way there. The vehicle completely died while driving on a straight 35mph road. All power steering and instruments were lost and I couldnt even put the van in neutral or get the key out of the ignition. I am currently waiting to hear from the dealership as to what they found as the cause.

A few weeks after getting my oil changed I was driving when the check engine light came on. I took it to auto zone and ran a diagnostic on the vehicle. The result was a code P0520 which indicates a fault in the engine oil pressure sensor/switch electrical circuit for a predetermined period of time. Most likely solution is to replace the oil pressure switch.

My van started making a clicking noise while on and was pulling a code for misfires in the engine. It turned out to be a common known condition causing metal in the oil system. I still owe $8500 on this van. I am a single mother of three and now will be upside down on a car that I love. I spoke to different mechanics who agreed it happens in this models engine. I believed Chrysler to be top quality product and never imagined that I would be on the other end of a call telling me that my top quality car is not what I thought it was. I am extremely disappointed and have feel it needs reported so other families do not have to go through the same financial burden that I am.

Suddenly experienced bad jerking above 35 mph and found out was a misfires. Replaced 2 spark plugs. Misfires still occurring which can now be felt while idle (jolt/hiccups and around 50-60 mph). Can also hear engine ticking. Common with 2011-2013 engines and 2014 engines are the same so extended warranty should be provided as well.

- Beale Afb, CA, USA

When we purchased the van in 2018, the dealer told us the number 2 head was replaced and camshaft because of rocker arm ticking, now last fall I had to replace 8 rocker arms on the same head. Chrysler extended the warranties on 2011 thru 2013, but the 2014 has the same exact engine. Why isn't it covered under the extened warranty, I need another camshaft.

Sliding right side door opening by itself (mostly happening overnight), rear lift gate has opened by itself twice (so far), driver's side sliding door has opened by itself once (overnight). I shut the power switch to it off, but it's still happening. So far, that has not happened while the vehicle was on or in motion. I worry about if I'm away and it happens that someone could steal articles from my van. The engine temperature has been running high lately, with a smell of antifreeze. I had the radiator flushed and thermostat replaced, but it's still running hot. It does this mostly when it's idling, even in cold weather.

Receive obd error cylinder 4 misfire (P0304). Mechanics have replaced all plugs & ignition coil on cylinder 4. cel with same error came back. Rough idle at stationary position. Car as 127K miles on it. Chrysler extended engine warranties on 2011-2013 T&cs for this exact issue for even # cylinder head misfires. Would like to see if warranty could be extended for 2014 to fix this issue.
