| Description of the problem | Oil filter housing: between my two oil changes i noticed a small oil leak under my 2014 jeep grand cherokee limited 3. 6l. I took it to the jeep dealership and i was informed the leakage was do to a bad "oil filter housing" and the part with repairs would be 799. 99. I asked if this should be included under my 5 year / 100,000 warranty but they said the warranty expired on 10/24/2018 and today is 2/5/2019. I called chryler and they said there is nothing they can do and they cannot offer to cover the repair; it would be an "out of pocket expense". So i googled this issue and it appears this is a known issues in all the forums and threads i read. Apparently chrysler changed this part from metal to plastic part for their 2014 models and later and now the part is failing all over the place. I registered a case number with chrysler but i probably should not post that in a public forum. I am hoping to eventually have this item as a recall item for 2014 and newer vehicles. The car was stationary and i first noticed the issue. |
