| Description of the problem | The mechanism of what happened to my vehicle is undetermined whether it was stationary or while driving. However i noticed a massive oil leak after driving. The entire under side of the jeep where the transmission and transfer case are were completely soaked in motor oil. After taking it to a jeep dealership, they diagnosed it to be a leak coming from the actual oil cooler housing. Come to find out my vehicle has already passed its warranty coverage date. And after doing a little bit of research, it seems i'm not the only person who has had this problem with their jeep, not specifically just the 2014 models others as well. Other than the complaints from individuals who have purchased a jeep, i have yet to find any comment from mopar, chrysler, or the jeep manufacturer themselves addressing the issue of having a plastic oil cooler housing. Fyi its not that easy of a repair so it could be quite costly to some. |
