Carrier/rack problems of the 2014 Jeep Wrangler

My oil filter cover cracked and is causing oil to leak down onto my transmission.

While driving I observed smoke was coming out from my vehicle engine compartment with the odor of burning oil. I was just around the corner from my house so as I pulled into my driveway I looked under my vehicle and noticed oil dripping from under the engine on to the exhaust pipe. I am aware that 2014 Jeep Wranglers have a problem with the oil filter housing cracking over time. I opened my hood and looked at the oil filter housing and there was oil all over the top of the motor. I went to my local Jeep dealer and was told that this year Wrangler has a big problem with this and that there is no recall. I don't understand how a safety issue like this that mopar has not been called on the carpet for a fire hazard like this and that they are aware of the premature failure of this part. I was told the repair would be roughly $600. Could you help me resolve this issue and what appropriate action I can take. My vehicle only has 35,000 miles on it. Not to mention my driveway is a mess :(.

Oil filter adapter housing cracked due to cold weather.

Jeep Wrangler effected. 2014 with 17000 miles the oil filter/oil cooler housing failed and leaked 3qts of oil in less then 24hours. The oil was changed 5 months prior to this problem and the dealer claimed the oil filter was put on to tight which caused cracks in the housing and would not complete the work under warrenty. After the repair I requested to keep the part that was taken out. After close examination and using compressed air to see if I could find a crack there was crack to be found. Only thing I could see that could cause a leak was a missing gasket on botton of house.

I had a cracked oil filter housing adapter that caused a big oil leak.

Burning smell of oil, part was cracked. Dealership even said it is a poor design. This needs to be a recall. This could've been a fire or an engine disaster with the amount of oil coming out of the vehicle.

I have a cracked oil filter housing that seems to be a common issue with this year model Jeep. The local dealer is about 920 back ordered which tells me that this is a major problem. Please look in to this! if this would have happened while driving it could have caused the engine to lock up and may have caused an accident.

Observed oil under the vehicle. Suspected that the oil cooler was leaking based upon others with the same problem. Observed a large puddle of oil in the valley of of engine at the oil cooler. All this was observed after the second oil change (dealer). Parts manager at dealer stated this is a big problem on the 2014 models with the 3. 2 and 3. 6 engine. Depending how large the crack is on the cooler this could cause all the oil to be evacuated from the engine causing a fire with the hot exhaust or seizing the engine causing a crash. The oil filter/cooler was redesigned for the 2014 model year. At this point it seems to be affecting the 2014 model year.
