NHTSA Complaint #10943853 — 2014 JEEP WRANGLER

OIL FILTER ADAPTER, OIL COOLER, NOT SURE ON CORRECT TERMINOLOGY. PART NUMBER 68105583AA TO BE SPECIFIC. JUST GOT NORMAL MAINTENANCE AND MULTI POINT INSPECTION DONE AND 2 DAYS, 128 MILES LATER SMOKE STARTED GUSHING OUT FROM UNDER MY VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING TO GET LUNCH, GOT OUT AND SURE ENOUGH OIL WAS PROFUSELY LEAKING OUT OF THE BOTTOM. DROVE HOME IMMEDIATELY AND PARKED IT. HAD TO WAIT UNTIL MONDAY TO TRY AND DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. STARTED HER UP AND WITHIN 5 MINUTES HAD A PUDDLE THE SIZE OF A TIRE UNDERNEATH OF OIL. MANAGED TO GET HER TO THE DEALERSHIP WITHOUT ISSUE, BUT MY SYSTEM WAS TELLING ME I HAD 0% PILLS LIKE REMAINING. OIL HAD BEEN LEAKING OUT FROM ON TOP OF THE ENGINE WORRYING ME OF A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD BUT I MANAGED TO GET IT TO THE SHOP. APPARENTLY THIS PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THIS IS A WIDELY KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2014 MODELS SPECIFICALLY ALL CHRYSLER MADE VEHICLES WITH THIS ENGINE. $500 FIX IS NOT FUN WHEN IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE BY THE COMPANY WHO ON 2015 MODELS FIXED IT AND NEVER ADDRESSED OR WARNED 2014 MODEL OWNERS. *TR
