Noticed a small leak on the driveway. I first thought it was due to a recently changed oil/filter but the place where we had the oil change said it was due to Engineer oil Cooler that is notorious for going out on these engines although mine is not on a recall for this issue. But apparently Jeep/Dodge has had recalls on some VINs. Fortunately mine is covered by a lifetime extended warranty that we had purchased which is no longer offered through Jeep. But we still are responsible for rental car since it is beyond 7 years of in service which I am not too happy about. I am told the cost will be in excess of $1000 if I had to pay but I only have a $100 deductible.

I bought a newer vehicle because I never thought a car this day and age could still leak oil under 150k miles but Jeep has proved me wrong. I noticed drops of oil in my garage floor and it seem to be getting worse. I took it to the dealership and of course they tell me its the engine oil cooler/filter housing and - get this - that its made of plastic. WTF? Who in their right mind designs a part out of plastic that has an engine block directly above it? Not to mention the hot oil or the vibration that is generated alone from the engine. Of course this is going to wear and break.

This should really be a recall but, it was approved and everyone that owns one of these POS's will continue to have to get this fixed and when you do it is not a permanent fix. It will break again and of course it will be after the warranty is up on the last time you got it repaired. Of course they were going to charge an arm and a leg $820 for the repair. I of course declined and got a second opinion just because I knew I could find someone to fix it cheaper.

I took it to a small shop that had really good reviews and they priced me out at $652.17. Better than the $820. So I had them repair it. This is the second problem I have had with my vehicle in a 3 yr period of owning it. I do not recommend this vehicle at any cost or year. Nothing but issues. This is a pain in the ass. You got me once you want again as soon as I can get out from under this loan this POS is gone.

at 85,000 miles young, my 2014 Jeep Grand is leaking oil profusely. The oil pressure (read by the dash) is now pushing up past 90 PSI when engine is not at operating temperatures. I never thought a car in this day and age could still leak oil sub 150k miles but Jeep has proved me wrong.

I initially noticed a puddle of dark liquid on my driveway one afternoon and found the source to be from my Jeep. I got under the car to inspect where it was coming from and I found that there was oil all over my transmission bell housing (top to bottom) but there wasn't much oil on the bottom of the engine block itself. Did some poking around online and found that there could be two possibilities: 1) Rear main seal leak 2) Oil cooling adapter leak. I took my car into the dealership and they confirmed that it was the oil cooling adapter. Long story short, the stealership wasn't going to cover the repair of my part (rant for another day I guess) and the cost was estimated to be $811 parts and labor. I wasn't going to let the stealership take more than the $145 "diagnostic" fee so I took my vehicle home with me.

If you are reading this, you probably have a oil leak in your 2014 Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep vehicle too. Chances are, you probably also found out that many others are having the same issue especially with their Fiat/Chrysler vehicles too. I found it extremely disappointing that a design engineer thought it would be a good idea to bolt a "cooling" contraption made of PLASTIC that will circulate HOT oil directly above a scorching engine block. What's even more amusing is that FCA signed off on the design idea, but I digress. FCA should really own up to the mistake they made with this design. In order to lower their costs, they went with this unproven design and is causing so much distress to the owners of the vehicles. If you look at the part number of the oil cooling adapter it has already gotten at least 5 revision (that we know of) revisions from 68105583AA to 68105583AF. Just with this one part, you could have a minor leak, major leak, oil in your coolant, high oil pressure, burning oil smell, etc. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AFFECTING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF OWNERS...
