| Description of the problem | At 63,000 miles my 2014 jeep wrangler sport 4x4 started leaking oil really bad. Looked up problems people have with oil leaks via the internet. Found out there have been more than a thousands of problems with this happening all of a sudden. Took it to a shop and they confirmed that is leaking from a cracked "engine oil cooler and oil filter housing adapter". Called around for this part and all dealers had a back order on this part and didn't know when they would be getting them in. Finally located one from a dealer in southern california through a person i knew personally that worked for a dealer. He said there have been more than 4,200 orders for this part in just southern california. This is a very big problem! This can lead to the engine catching fire. Also a very expensive cost for just the part and than they still have to remove the upper and lower intake plenum gaskets needing replacement when this part is replaced. The leaking of oil has been happening over a week or so. |
