| Description of the problem | I was just starting a drive home when suddenly my cars "check engine" light came on and it refused to go higher than 3rd gear. Within minutes, my engine was starting to overheat. I was lucky enough to coast into a nearby auto repair place for them to check things out. Their diagnosis was that my oil cooling housing cracked and has been leaking oil everywhere, including the undercarriage (which i'm told is a fire hazard). They also said it's a very common problem with the 2014 models and they're shocked jeep hasn't issued a recall on it. I later did some reading and found hundreds, if not thousands, of other people who have had the same problem. A recall should be issued for this faulty part instead of making all of us pay $750+ to fix it. |
