Engine Oil Leaking Problems of Chrysler Town & Country - part 1

Oil housing leak failure which when speaking with my mechanic and looking online, this is a huge problem with these vehicles. I don't understand why this has been a recall item as I can see over 56,000 issues online for it. Such an issue there is a back order of part. The oil leak is dangerous and can cause fires to cars with mostly families driving them.

I am having a cylinder 2 misfire with 90k miles on vehicle. Vehicle is clearly missing at idle with heavy shaking and strong odor of exhaust fumes. I have replaced spark plugs and new ignition coils with no changes. I have also replaced the oil filter housing that had a severe leak before this problem.

Leaking oil so I took it in and mechanic says the oil filter housing is cracked and needs to be replaced. Apparently it's pretty common among these vehicles and he's having a hard time getting the part to fix it. It's on back order.

Oil filter housing leaking. Part on back order because this is so common. Could lead to potential fire as to why this is a safety hazard.

I bought a 2014 town and country from moran Buick dealership in September 2020 by February 2021 I had to replace components in my drivers side window twice due to failure and the window falling in my door. Also noticed a huge oil spot on driveway went to have it checked out and was toild my oil filter housing cracked and it on back order over 4 month. Looking online this is a huge issue. How can I feel safe driving my family in this vehicle with oil leaking out constantly.

I noticed some type of oil leaking under my vehicle. I took it to the local Chrysler dealership and was told that the oil filter housing needed replaced. They said it would cost around $1,000, but that there was no eta on when they would have that part in stock. I called a small auto mechanic shop to see if they could give me a competitive price, but they aren't able to find the part available through any third party vendors. My vehicle has been sitting at the Chrysler dealership for over 2 weeks waiting for them to let me know when the part will be available. The diagnostic fee is $135 and will only go towards the price of the repairs if those happen within 30 days, so to keep from wasting money and having major issues arise from this leak I haven't picked up my vehicle and we are playing leap frog with my husband's small car.

The contact owns a 2014 Chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the vehicle was leaking oil underneath the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact had the oil filter housing replaced. Recently while driving 28 mph, the vehicle stalled in the middle of the roadway. After several attempts, the contact was able to restart the vehicle and pulled to side of the roadway. The contact had the vehicle towed to stevenson-hendrick Toyota jacksonville (3124 new bern hwy, jacksonville, nc 28546) who diagnosed the failure and stated that a rod went thru the engine causing to failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 144,000.

I noticed oil under my vehicle. I crawled underneath the vehicle and noticed oil was coating all visible parts of motor. Upon further inspection the oil filter housing assembly has developed a crack in it. This is a plastic piece that is affixed to the engine (heat and plastic do not mix). This has caused oil to leak onto the motor (at approximately 1 quart per 3000 miles driven). This has the potential to cause a fire in the engine bay at any time.

Had my oil changed and tuned up last month roughly 3 days later I noticed oil on my drive. Brought it to a friend and sat for 30 min and a puddle of oil showed up in his garage floor. We checked the oil level and found oil all over the motor. I took it back to where I had my work done and was told the leak was coming from under the oil filter housing assembly and there are 2000 on back order. Which makes me think there is a problem your aware of and how do I get it fixed.

Noticed engine oil leaking (unknown when it started). Initially though it may have been oil spilled when changing oil. It turns out the oil is leaking form filter housing (also includes engine oil cooler). Engine needs expensive repair to fix due to plastic parts. Part is not available to purchase (back order). Oil leaks is heavy, unsure if it may pose a fire hazard.

Vehicle started leaking oil loss oil pressure and was informed that I needed an oil filter housing replacement that's on back order 56,000 or more! I have to pay a car note on a vehicle that I can't drive because of a issue with dealers not having the parts to repair it! this is not right and my vehicle and all vehicle like mine should be recalled!.

Vehicle had leaking plastic oil filter housing at 110k miles. After review online, noticed this is a very common design issue all over the 3. 6 pentastar v6. Then at 127k, I have now been informed after engine started ticking while driving that timing chain, camshaft etc have failed and engine must be rebuilt and or replaced entirely. I have owned many vehicles and never had one with an engine failure at this low mileage. Small fixes, of course but total catastrophic engine part failure at 127k? Chrysler should be ashamed of this poorly designed engine. They know this engine has problems as they extended engine warranties for 2011-2013 models but I feel like they leave their customers with newer engines high and dry. I will never buy another fca product again as long as I live, and I am a young father with many more vehicles left to buy in my life - this was my first fca vehicle.

Oil filter housing / oil filter adapter - oil leak oil leaks onto engine due to faulty design on all 2011 - 2014 Town & Country models. The only fix is replacement of the adapter housing which is 4 hours labor and roughly $150 part from dealer. Dealer wants over $700 and claims they do two of these per day. This penstar 3. 6l engine is used on all Town & Country, Jeep grand cherokee, and ram 1500s.

The van was purchased in 2017. The jerking/shuttering of the vehicle when driving or hauling on gas was the first sign of dysfunction of the vehicle. The second sign of failure in the manufacturing of this make and model of Chrysler was the head restraint of the drivers seat and then weeks latter the passenger seat popped up, when the vehicle was parked and not in motion and deployed out of place without impact of any accident or etc. And last but not least, but extremely important the oil leaks that this vehicle to this day have started since September of 2019. We have gone more than 3 times to different oil changes and companys and they keep insisting it's a Chrysler recall on this make and model. When we noticed this huge oil spill, is when it's parked and we are ready to go to our next destination and a pool of oil shows out! we are afraid to travel far and/or have complications latter. We can't even enjoy this vehicle and go see my brothers who are off in college because this is the only transportation vehicle that all 3 of us in this household can fit comfortable and bring goods to them when in need. We did not purchase this vehicle to have a mediocre product and result. We are very disappointed with the vehicle and wish and pray to finally have a solution and good result this time around with filing this complaint through NHTSA. If this problem is not fixed soon, we will not be able to go to dallas and spend christmas with my younger brothers at the end of the month. Please, please, I beg of you act and give customer service that we need!.

2014 Chrysler Town & Country has a bad oil leak. We have researched and found it to most likely be the oil filter housing cooler assembly. There is oil all over the the motor and underneath on the drivers side but not on the passenger side we have read that the oil filter housing is easy to crack when changing oil & filter. I have always taken it to the dealer where we bought it new to have it serviced. My last oil change was done 4000 miles ago and we just started having this oil leak. So it cannot be that is was cracked or it would have been leaking at the time of the last service. The oil cooler housing is a plastic part on the drivers side and that is where all the oil is leaking. The warranty has expired so we are exploring repair options. Since this is becoming a common problem, a recall should be issued. We recently bought our son a 2019 Dodge challenger. It has the same motor as our van, so we aren't looking forward to addressing this same issue.

At 91,614 miles engine is leaking oil, took to Chrysler dealer they said it is oil cooler/filter adapter . They want over $1000. To fix it, I have a extended warentee they sold me for over $2000. , and they won,t cover it. Plastic part on engine, bad design.

Leak in the transmission leak in the oil filter adapter housing this adapter housing issue is happening to everyone I know or have read about that has this engine in their Chrysler product. Some have drips, and others have oil everywhere.

We own a 2014 town and country with a 3. 6l v6 engine, and 94,500 miles. Still within the engine/power train 100,000 miles guarantee. Our car leaks motor oil profusely given cracks in the engine oil cooler. Chrysler's replacement part number 68105583af. Documented oil loss problems appeared into multiple models using the 3. 6l engine Dodge: - avenger � caravan � durango -challenger. Jeep: - wrangler and grand cherokee, among others. Fiat Chrysler manufactured the oil filter housing out of plastic to save costs. Common sense mandates that nothing attached to the engine should be made from plastic. Their engineering team incurred into poor manufacturing decisions. They should rather use metal for engine's parts exposed to torque, heat and expansion. Given multiple complaints, fiat Chrysler finally discontinued the original parts numbers 68105588 (the one provided with our unit). Fair is to say that the new replacements are still made from plastic. These defective parts originated oil leaks and engine overheating. Involving substantial risks of engine failure, expensive repairs and fire hazards. Chrysler knew they had a problem but decided not to recall defective units and rather dealing with customers on a case-by-case basis. Chrysler's dealers want to charge $150 for inspection, and $780 for parts and labor for replacement. We called corporate customer service on 1/21/2019, but fiat Chrysler refused to aid arguing that the 5-year guarantee period had expired. They also refused any guarantee period extension. It is unfair that the public must bear replacement cost for poorly manufactured parts. Chrysler should assume full ownership for mistakes and recall defective units, or extend the protection guarantee period for defective parts.

Oil cooler or oil filter housing has failed either in manufacture or seals causing oil leak to puddle on top of engine, possible fire hazard.

The oil filter housing is plastic and appears to be a weak part and known issue. Mine broke which leaked oil all over my engine. I don't know when it broke but a found oil in the driveway.

Faulty oil filter adapter. This part is made out of plastic and cannot take the stress of being removed and put back together it must be unscrewed ever time oil change is done . Part splits the housing causing a major oil leak that could cause a fire or accident oil is being spilled on exhaust if motor runs out of oil it will no longer run and vehicle would stop in middle of road. There are several TSB bulletins out on this issue still Chrysler has not made good on it. In my opinion this part should be recalled its a major flaw that needs to be looked into. Part# 68105583af is the part in question.

Oil filter housing is cracked and leaking oil.

Oil filter adapter housing failure, leaks oil all over the motor and exhaust.

Oil filter housing-the engine has a major oil leak due to part number 68105583aa. In addition, unrelated to the oil leak the driver seat also unexpectedly reversed and would not move forward again. While sitting at the intersection the car engine suddenly stalled. I am not certain if this was due to leak or electrical problem. The car behind me had to use evasive measures to prevent a crash.

Oil drain plug & oil pan stripped. It cause engine oil leak.

Oil filter/adapter/oil cooler assembly failed, causing large amount of oil to leak all over engine & transmission, likely creating a fire hazard.

Takata recall: I recently purchased a 2016 Chrysler town and country less then a year and a half ago. I have had 2 major parts break in my rear end. The first one was the control arm and the second one was the axle beam which neither one are covered under warranty. I was driving when both of them went out! I'm extremely disappointed that since I've purchased 3 vehicles from Chrysler they will not cover the expense. This axle beam broke while I had my 2 young children which are 5 and 3 in the van while going around a curve at 20mph. I'm thankful that I was able to control my vehicle and we weren't in bad weather. The technician also informed me I have an oil leak on the top of my motor which is covered, but I have to pay 100. 00 for them to fix. With that being said I'm highly disgusted with Chrysler and will not purchase anything from them again!.

I had a oil change. 6 days later I found oil on my garage floor. One day before no oil. Took van to dealer and was told oil cooler leaking. Had to add 2 quarts of oil to make it dealer. No warning lights of low oil. Oil came out real fast. Lucky to watch for problems. Only 28,000 miles. 2014 Town & Country van 12/07/13 delivery date.

The van ran out of oil. It was completely dry. No warning signs came on. No leaks. No smoke for the exhaust. One day it began to knock real bad and still no oil light was on. Now the van needs a new engine. This shouldn't of happened to a 2010 model with only 65k miles on it.

Insane how much oil my van consumes between oil changes! no leaks, no burning, no nothing. It consumes over a quart within 800 miles. And when I say over a quart I mean 1 1/2 quarts or more. This is a very common problem and Chrysler won't step up to the plate and admit its a serious issue.

The van has been maintained by only the dealer from day one! the past few times I have had my oil changed, I keep having to add oil myself in between changes. Wow, so I thought maybe the dealer messed up or didn't add enough oil, but now here I am doing it again. Two days ago I added 1/2 qt, well only about 30 miles later, it is low again. Really? no leaks, but no oil. So frustrating also because the light has only ever came on once. I have heard a chime 2x, and both times, it has led me to check to the oil, but never a light again. This van has had multiple problems from day one, and the dealer service department is terrible, what are they waiting on for the recall? when the van cuts off in the middle of an intersection and someone gets killed?.
