NHTSA Complaint #11306331 — 2014 JEEP WRANGLER

WHILE DRIVING I OBSERVED SMOKE WAS COMING OUT FROM MY VEHICLE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WITH THE ODOR OF BURNING OIL. I WAS JUST AROUND THE CORNER FROM MY HOUSE SO AS I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY I LOOKED UNDER MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED OIL DRIPPING FROM UNDER THE ENGINE ON TO THE EXHAUST PIPE. I AM AWARE THAT 2014 JEEP WRANGLERS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL FILTER HOUSING CRACKING OVER TIME. I OPENED MY HOOD AND LOOKED AT THE OIL FILTER HOUSING AND THERE WAS OIL ALL OVER THE TOP OF THE MOTOR. I WENT TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS YEAR WRANGLER HAS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS AND THAT THERE IS NO RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A SAFETY ISSUE LIKE THIS THAT MOPAR HAS NOT BEEN CALLED ON THE CARPET FOR A FIRE HAZARD LIKE THIS AND THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THIS PART. I WAS TOLD THE REPAIR WOULD BE ROUGHLY $600. COULD YOU HELP ME RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AND WHAT APPROPRIATE ACTION I CAN TAKE. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 35,000 MILES ON IT. NOT TO MENTION MY DRIVEWAY IS A MESS :(
