| Description of the problem | The oil cooler/oil filter adaptor failed. This part is plastic and sits on top of the engine....! Since 2014 this part has failed in many fca vehicles and when it does it leaks oil and coolant on top of a running/hot engine! In my case it failed and caused a loss of oil pressure which then damaged the cam shafts and o2 sensor. Luckily it was covered by warranty but when that runs out it's not only a safety issue but a very expensive repair for a failing plastic part that should have been recalled by now! The company should at a minimum extend the warranty for that part on every engine it has been used in. |
