NHTSA Complaint #10673091 — 2014 JEEP WRANGLER

I HAVE A 2014 WRANGLER JK WITH 10,900 MILES AND I HAVE A 5 MILE DRIVE TO WORK. TWO DAYS AGO, JANUARY 14, 2015 AS I EXITED THE VEHICLE, I SMELL BURNT OIL. I LIFTED THE HOOD, I DON'T SEE ANYTHING LIKE OIL. I LOOKED UNDERNEATH FOR A DRIP OR PUDDLE, BUT I SAW NOTHING. AS I LEFT WORK LATER THAT AFTERNOON, I LOOKED UNDER THE JEEP AND THERE APPEARED TO BE A SLIGHT PUDDLE OF LEAKING OIL. I DROVE 5 MILES HOME. AFTER I GOT THERE, I OBSERVED A GOOD SIZED OIL PUDDLE ON THE DRIVEWAY MIDWAY UNDER JEEP WITH SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST! I HAD JEEP TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND I WAS I JUST ADVISED THAT IT WAS THE OIL COOLER/ADAPTER HOUSING. I HAD 10,900 MILES ON ODOMETER WHEN IT OCCURRED. I HOPE CHRYSLER ENGINEERS A REPLACEMENT PART FAST! OTHERWISE, THE FINE FOLKS AT JEEP MAY BE LOOKING AT CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE AND/OR FIRE FROM OIL COMING IN CONTACT WITH HOT ENGINE OR DRIVE LINE PARTS ON ALL OF THE MY 2014 JKS! THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT WAS FIRST REPORTED IN MAY 2014. *TR
