Consumer Description

CHRYSLER MAKER OF DODGE CHALLENGER 2016 AND OTHER MODELS AND OTHER YEARS ARE AWARE OF A MAJOR DEFECT. THE OIL FILTER HOUSING ON MANY MAKES AND MODELS LEAK LOTS OF OIL. AS OF RIGHT NOW THERE ARE 40,000 OF THIS PART ON BACK ORDER. THEY LEAK OIL OVER THE TOP OF THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. THE BURNING OIL PUTS FUMES IN THE CAR AS YOU ARE DRIVING. THIS CAN MAKE YOU SLEEPY AND THE CAR CAN CATCH FIRE IN THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT. YOU CANT TAKE A PICTURE OF THE PART WITHOUT REMOVING THE UPER AND LOWER INTAKE. I SENT A PIC OF THE OIL IN MY DRIVE. PLEASE GOOGLE THIS AND SEE THAT THIS NOT A ISOLATED THING BUT A COMMON ALWAYS GONNA HAPPEN THING. THE BURNING OIL MAKES ME FEEL SICK.
