NHTSA Complaint #11377932 — 2014 DODGE DURANGO

I HAD SIGNIFICANT OIL LEAKS IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS. I NOTICED MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AT 105,000 MILES. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC TO GET SERVICED. THEY REPLACED TRANSMISSION FLUID (PURCHASED AT DODGE DEALERSHIP) AND SERVICED ANY OTHER AREAS. I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK AND NOTICED IT WAS STILL LEAKING A GREAT AMOUNT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC THINKING THE ISSUE WAS NOT SOLVED. THE MECHANIC THEN ADVISED ME THAT THERE IS AN OIL LEAK NEXT TO THE OIL COOLER AND WHEN PARKED AT AN INCLINE, IT BEGINS TO LEAK PROFUSELY. HE SAID THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH DODGE DURANGO'S AND REACHED OUT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ABOUT RECALLS. THEY INDICATED THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL. THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING. I HAVE SELDOM DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE THE PANDEMIC AND HAVE UPKEEP THE MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE. I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2016.
