Description of the problem	The oil filter housing assembly is made of plastic that cracks. This leads to oil leaking and several inches of oil sits in the v of the hot engine until it spills over. This is a definite fire hazard. Fca needs to recall with a redesigned part made of metal. I have already replaced mine twice in 1 yr. Replacing it with the same part is not fixing it. Failed at 29k miles and now at 42k miles. This is a $1000 repair each time. Mine was covered under power train warranty but this is unacceptable quality and practices. I noticed oil leaking underneath the engine again and this time i thought it was the rear main seal. I noticed burnt oil in the v of the engine block as well. To my suprise, same part has failed already. Parts failing at this low of mileage are a design flaw that is being ignored by fca. Something needs to be done. Oh... One last thing.. While the mechanic had it apart, he noticed the head gasket was leaking too so he replaced that at 29k miles. No wonder chrysler/fiat is the worst car maker in the world.
