When checking the oil level in the vehicle, there was none showing on the dip stick. All oil had leaked out of vehicle. We had the vehicle taken to a local dealership. We were told that this is a common problem with this year/make/model. It was the oil filter housing defective releasing all oil from vehicle. This part is on national back order and not expected to be available for 45 or more days. This tells me that it is a problem with the manufacturing of the vehicle. What if I had not noticed the oil that had leaked out and my the engine lock up while driving on a busy highway.

Oil cooler leak. I lost over 2 quarts of oil after a short drive. The seals were also leaking into the injectors causing multiple cylinder misfire codes and check engine light warnings.

This is a big problem with the Jeep pentastar 3. 6 v6 engine. After contacting Jeep dealers to fix leak they tell me the part is on back order due to so many Jeep and cars that have this part. The number they gave me is over 40,000 and time frame of getting one could be a month. This explains why Jeep drop power train warranty from 100,000 miles to 60,000. I noticed a little leak at 65,000 mile and now at 70,000 miles you have to keep adding oil or park it due to maybe it catching on fire. One dealer told me he had 30 vehicle sitting on lot waiting on part. I feel Jeep should have a re-call for this issuer. Now I have a Jeep that I can't use for a month or more if lucky.

The oil cooler failing, leaking. I have just discovered that my oil cooler is leaking from a puddle on the ground and my lower engine full of oil. I got no warning light. If there had not been a noticable puddle I would have never noticed it. If not my motor would have locked up and would need to be replaced. I checked my oil level and no oil is on the dipstick. I have done research and found that this is a very big problem in the Jeep community. I strongly feel that this should be recalled and repaired. If it was a here and there incident, it would b different. But it's a very big problem. In the photo look to the left of the oil filter housing. It's a puddle of oil. The price of oil is not cheap. Neither is the time consuming and cost of the repair. Please add this to the recalls for this vehicle.

The oil filter canister/oil cooler is cracked and is leaking oil. This is an environmental hazard.

The vehicle was stationary when we noticed the leak and never driven again after that. This tells me that this is a huge issue and that there should be a recall on this issue.
