Consumer Description
No crash or injuries. My Jeep only has 45,000 original miles and it is leaking oil from the oil cooler. I researched and this seems to be a very common issue with the 2015 3.6 L Jeep Wrangler. It cost over $1,500 to repair. As the other gentleman stated in his complaint, I feel this is a major issue that needs to be addressed by Jeep. See the other post below for further detail: I OWN TWO JEEP WRANGLERS, A 2013 AND A 2015. I HAD THE 2015 REPAIRED AT A COST OF OVER $1,000.00. NOW MY 2013 HAS DEVELOPED THE SAME PROBLEM; TO WIT, THE OIL COOLER/ OIL FILTER HOUSING CRACKS ON CHRYSLER 3.6 ENGINES AND THE OIL IS SPREAD ONTO THE EXHAUST PIPE WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL OF CAUSING A FIRE. IF THIS IS NOT DISCOVERED, THE OIL WILL SPREAD TO THE REAR TIRES WHICH WILL CAUSE A TRACTION OR BRAKING HAZARD. CHRYSLER HAS NOT MODIFIED THE HOUSING AND WHEN YOU REPLACE , IT IS REPLACED WITH THE SAME PART THAT WILL FAIL IN THE FUTURE. CHRYSLER HAS TO KNOW THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTS BY THE # OF UNITS THAT THEY HAVE SOLD, NOT TO MENTION THE THOUSANDS OF UNITS THAT ARE SOLD ON EBAY AND AUTOMOTIVE PARTS STORES. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS SITUATION BEFORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED OR KILLED.
