| Description of the problem | i have a 2014 wrangler jk with 10,900 miles and i have a 5 mile drive to work. Two days ago, january 14, 2015 as i exited the vehicle, i smell burnt oil. I lifted the hood, i don't see anything like oil. I looked underneath for a drip or puddle, but i saw nothing. As i left work later that afternoon, i looked under the jeep and there appeared to be a slight puddle of leaking oil. I drove 5 miles home. After i got there, i observed a good sized oil puddle on the driveway midway under jeep with smoke coming out of the exhaust! I had jeep towed to dealership and i was i just advised that it was the oil cooler/adapter housing. I had 10,900 miles on odometer when it occurred. I hope chrysler engineers a replacement part fast! Otherwise, the fine folks at jeep may be looking at catastrophic engine failure and/or fire from oil coming in contact with hot engine or drive line parts on all of the my 2014 jks! This is a known issue that was first reported in may 2014. |
