| Description of the problem | While driving i observed smoke was coming out from my vehicle engine compartment with the odor of burning oil. I was just around the corner from my house so as i pulled into my driveway i looked under my vehicle and noticed oil dripping from under the engine on to the exhaust pipe. I am aware that 2014 jeep wranglers have a problem with the oil filter housing cracking over time. I opened my hood and looked at the oil filter housing and there was oil all over the top of the motor. I went to my local jeep dealer and was told that this year wrangler has a big problem with this and that there is no recall. I don't understand how a safety issue like this that mopar has not been called on the carpet for a fire hazard like this and that they are aware of the premature failure of this part. I was told the repair would be roughly $600. Could you help me resolve this issue and what appropriate action i can take. My vehicle only has 35,000 miles on it. Not to mention my driveway is a mess :( |
