| Description of the problem | My 2014 jeep wrangler jku has 86737 miles and developed an oil leak. I took it to the dealer for diagnostics/repair, and was told "massive leak from oil cooler has saturated engine block valley and spilling over on to transmission and under body". As stated from the dealer, the oil leak does not drain from the engine, but pools in the engine block valley until it fills and then runs over the rest of the transmission/engine. This creates a fire hazard.. As stated from the dealer, the oil filter/cooler assembly (mopar part # 05184294ae) is located in the engine block valley, so it is very protected from external damage. The seals just leak. This defect cost over $1000 to repair. From the number of other occurrences i have read about, there should be a recall on this issue. |
