When we drive to greatclip hair cut store from dollars store thru freeway, Jeep didn't warning anything that willing to break down, I started smelled little oil burn and we parked Jeep by greatclip to drop wife there and I turned engine to going and it's smell stronger burns . I checked it out that valve cover got cracked and little hole. I asked wife to start up and I saw a lot of oil come out of valve cover hole . We called tow to come pick up to avoid get engine seizures and I thought it's valve cover then I went to autozone to buy valve cover and gasket and went home to work on Jeep. I removed valve cover and found a rocker broke the metal of engine head in passages side. I heard a lot of people who work at dealership shop and other shop said all 3. 7 liter v6 isn't good engine for Jeep because it's keep blew or problems. It's only 170,000 miles on engine. We just bought 2 months ago it's was good engine and run wonderful then it's broke down for no reason. I had older Jeep has never problems with me until this one caused me problems.

I have known 2 other people with this issue, I have been the only one with fire. My Jeep is leaking oil from the engine seal that is just above the passenger side upstream exhaust (right before the passenger side catalytic converter. I smelled burning oil and I got under the car and there was a small fire which I extinguished with my rag. The problem is also a huge health issue. If you are stopped at a light, or stop sign and have the heat or a/c on. The interior of the vehical becomes filled with the burning smell. Smoke bellows out from under the vehical at these stops also. I am afraid of the thing bursting into flames at a light and being helpless. I know 2 other people that have this exact issue. One of them got rid of their vehical, the other still has it. This is a major defect that will result in fire, or as I see it cancer due to the smoke entering the vehical. I have to clean the oil saturated area at least once a week.
