Consumer Description

The oil cooler failed with no warning, no check engine indication. All indicators returned normal readings. Without a warning you continue to drive while your oil levels are falling. All of your oil goes into your cooling system. The chances are very high that you will have your engine seize. At a minimum the failure causes major repair issues, if it can be repaired at all. One of the more troubling out come of the failure, the oil will eventually over flow the coolant reservoir into the engine compartment. The oil is everywhere in the engine compartment. This alone would present a number of safety issues. My car is currently at the dealer, I was quoted $8,600 to repair and replace all affected parts. My research has turn up a number of jeep, chrsyler and ram truck owners are or have experienced this failure.
