NHTSA Complaint #11326544 — 2014 JEEP WRANGLER

I OWN A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SPORT. WENT FOR MY OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO REPLACE THE OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY BECAUSE IT CRACKED AND IS LEAKING OIL AND THE ENGINE OIL IS POOLING IN THE PAN. AT THE TUNE OF $1200. I WENT HOME AND FOUND THIS IS MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH HUNDREDS/ THOUSANDS HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2014 WRANGLERS. I SEE JUST A FEW WHO HAD THIS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT NOT WITHOUT A HASSLE FROM DEALERSHIPS. MOST, LIKE MYSELF ARE TOLD IT'S NOT COVERED. 5 YEAR/ 100,000 MI. NOW 6 YEARS. I BELIEVE I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR AWHILE BUT NOW AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED IT'S BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION. THE PROBLEM LIES WITH A PIECE CHANGED FROM METAL TO PLASTIC. IT CRACKED AND WILL BE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER PLASTIC PIECE THAT WILL MOST LIKELY CRACK AGAIN. IF THAT'S NOT BAD ENOUGH, I SEE IT'S ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD! HOT OIL POOLED IN THE BOTTOM PAN AND ON THE ENGINE HAS CAUSED FIRES. JEEP ON THEIR OWN HASN'T MADE THE OIL COOLER CRACK A RECALL. NO SURPRISE THERE. BUT IT'S TIME THEY NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT ! LOOK AT HOW MANY HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM! PLEASE!! *TR
