2017 Dodge Journey oil filter housing leak. Vehicle is persistent leaking oil. Chrysler Dodge dealer claims there are 40,000 orders for this part in waiting and that the timetable for getting a replacement part is indefinite. Their suggestion is to keep refilling with oil for the foreseeable future. They state the part may eventually be a recalled but is not yet. I find it hard to believe with so many known problems that it's not been recalled already. Additionally it's a $700 repair for a known issue.
