Description of the problem	2014 jeep grand cherokee limited 3. 6l -67k miles. Cracked oil filter housing. Noticed a small oil leak fall 2020 on my garage floor after oil change from local chrysler dealership. Late winter 2021 noticed the leak was bigger on garage floor. Checked under car around oil pan. Oil pan nut area was clean of oil, but oil was dripping down engine and over exhaust and onto the transmission. Noticed oil puddling inside transmission skid plate. Looked online for causes and found the oil filter housing was known to crack on these engines. I located my oil filter near the top of the engine and found oil all around the base of the housing. The filter neck was clean of oil, just a pool of oil at the base of the neck!! Looked up chrysler recalls and nothing reported for this part. But did find many same engine owners complaining of this same problem! Read many articles about this product being made of plastic and failing. All of my oil changes have been from the same local chrysler dealership. Did they cause this by over tightening oil filter? Or is this truly a defect product and chrysler is waiting for a vehicle to catch fire or a death before a recall is issued? Are vehicle engine fires caused by oil leaking onto extremely hot engine/transmission/exhaust parts??
