2014 rubicon unlimited stock with 14000km on the odometer and leaking passenger front axle seal. My last jeep went to 50000km and was a sport with levelling kit and bigger than stock tires. I do very mild offroad very rarely. I'm a little dissapointed in the quality of this vehicle at this point.

Leaking on both sides, took it to the dealer. They were told by Chysler to do oil samples and found water and dirt in front axle. The stealer is telling me the warranty claim was denied due to the extreme use of the vehicle. If anyone knows Community Chrysler in Indiana give them a real bad review on their service department.

That's is BS! You. An get water and dirt in there just driving around town. Plus they market the wrangler on TV commercial driving through trails but apparently if you use it on a trail they won't warranty obvious failures! Both my front seal started leaking before I ever took it off-road.

Part of it is that their seals are garbage. I replaced my from seals back in Febuary and they are leaking again. I wish we could get ahold of a quality aftermarket seal.

Could be worse. I had this start at between 750-800 miles on the vehicle. Took them two visits to get them to acknowledge it and fix it. I'll be keeping this in case anything else happens and they try to blame me and deny warranty work on the axle. Also axel?

It's crazy to me that this is such a problem for some. I have an '07 with over 130,000 miles and have never had that problem, at least since I've owned the vehicle.

They said that it was a assembly defect from the factory, i should have demanded a new axle or told them to buy it back.
