| Description of the problem | Arrived home in vehicle and had a strong odor of burning oil. Immediately saw a puddle of oil under the vehicle and oil on the exhaust was smoking. The oil filter/cooler housing had begun leaking. This vehicle has 44,000 miles on it and never been off road. This seems to be a very common part failure and chrysler needs to address it. The amount of oil it lost in a short amount of time was enough to cause a fire. There was over 1/2 inch of oil in the valley between the heads and oil had blown from the motor to the rear differential. This part is conveniently not covered under the 5 yr 100,000 mile engine warranty and the dealer said the part has not been upgraded. |
