Consumer Description

Vehicle only has 38,000 miles and suddenly had visible oil leaking from underneath. No warning lights came on but I took to service center for inspection. The oil filter housing was found to be defective and "leaking badly". Technician informed me that because the component is plastic vs. metal it is a known defect in my vehicle make/model. I also confirmed many complaints of same issue in online forums. I contacted manufacturer but since vehicle is out of warranty they would not assist. Service provider stated the issue is of significant safety risk as engine could lose all oil, overheat, and become undriveable. Cost to repair=$1800
