Description of the problem	The oil filter housing is made of plastics and it cracks and oil leaks on to exhaust which could cause a fire and also environmental issuer due to oil leaking on ground. This is a big problem with the jeep pentastar 3. 6 v6 engine. After contacting jeep dealers to fix leak they tell me the part is on back order due to so many jeep and cars that have this part. The number they gave me is over 40,000 and time frame of getting one could be a month. This explains why jeep drop power train warranty from 100,000 miles to 60,000. I noticed a little leak at 65,000 mile and now at 70,000 miles you have to keep adding oil or park it due to maybe it catching on fire. One dealer told me he had 30 vehicle sitting on lot waiting on part. I feel jeep should have a re-call for this issuer. Now i have a jeep that i can't use for a month or more if lucky.
