Consumer Description
IN MY CAR THE OIL FILTER ASSEMBLY WAS LEAKING OIL AND WAS REPLACED. I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH EVERY 3.6L ENGINE BY DODGE 2014 AND UP. I SPOKE WITH A DODGE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND HE SAID IT WAS THE WORST DESIGN THEY HAVE EVER PUT ONTO THIS MOTOR DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF CARS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE DEALT WITH ASAP BECAUSE FOR NUMEROUS REASONS. FIRST REASON BEING OIL FLYING THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE CAB CAN CAUSE A FIRE. SECOND REASON BEING THAT OIL LEAKING WHILE DRIVING CAN CAUSE DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR OTHER MOTORISTS WHETHER IT'S SLIPPING ON OIL LEAKED BY MY VEHICLE OR FROM OIL BEING SPRAYED UP FROM MY VEHICLE COATING THEIR WINDSHIELD. ALSO ANOTHER DANGER FOR ME THE OPERATOR IS THE NAUSEOUS SMELL OF OIL BURNING GOING THROUGH MY HEATING SYSTEM IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HOPE THAT YOU SEE THIS COMPLAINT AND TAKE IT SERIOUS AND INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I TRULY FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD. I HAVE SINCE HAD THE PART REPLACED WITH AN UPGRADED PART THAT DODGE OFFERS. AND I HAD IT INSTALLED BY THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM DUE TO BEING MUCH CHEAPER. THANK YOU!
