Oil cooler failed and caused complete disspursment of oil while driving. oil leaked all over the underside and rear of vehicle. this could casue an accident or fire in the engine bay. replaced in october 2019. worked till feb 2020 now it is loeaking and the reservoir for oil cooler is showing pooling... again. this part is made of cheap non heat managable materials. it needs to be recalled. this replacement is not cheap or an easy task.

Oil filter adapter cooler on top of the engine, leaking, filling the valley with 2 inches of oil in some places. could cause fire and oil spilling over the exhaust. oil runs down the bell housing down the transmission and across the crossmember. when you stop you can smell biting oil, due to this issue.
The oil filter/cooler housing is known to leak allowing oil to run down engine onto exhaust causing a fire hazard.
Same as alot of other people's complaints and i'm very shocked that there is not a recall for an issue that is such an on going problem, my oil cooler is leaking once again on my 2014 jeep wrangler jk and i've already spent hundreds of dollars to fix this issue and now going through this once again it is straight bull crap. i was driving down the road and came to a stop light and noticed a ton of white smoke coming from underneath my hood and i though no way not again but to my surprise i was right oil was sitting in the valley right underneath the black oil reservoir. the date below is when i notices it for the 2nd time...1/15/2020
I own a 2014 jeep wrangler jk with 47800 miles. the engine oil cooler has failed and covered driveway with oil. this is a known problem that they choose not to fix. do not buy this vehicle
I recently had a change oil indicator go off, earlier than anticipated. while performing the oil change, i realized there was oil all over the bottom of the vehicle, especially on the bottom of the transmission. i cleaned up and performed the oil change. two days later the same thing. fresh oil everywhere. upon further research and a trip to the dealer, the conclusion was a bad oil filter adapter assembly. this is beyond common on a 2014 wrangler. insane that there has not been a recall on this part. come on jeep, get it together and take responsibility. i love my jeep. but right is right. this is beyond a big fire concern!!!!
Oil cooler had a major leak oil on top of engine was easily a quart. rest of the oil had traveled down the transmission and covered almost the entirety of the engine compartment and exhaust. i noticed the leak by a strong smokey oil odor as the oil hit the exhaust. the oil cooler was replaced and must have also caused a leak in the coolant because the reservoir was near empty. waiting to see if that was the cause of the coolant leak.
Oil cooler / filter housing is leaking oil down transmission an onto the exhaust. caused smoke and nauseous fumes to enter the cabin. fire hazard!!!! noticed the fumes while driving. inspected the undercarriage a found oil leaking down transmission onto the exhaust. inspected engine bay and found the oil pooling around the oil filter/cooler housing.
There is oil leaking from under my jeep and a burning smell that smells like burnt tires. i was told it could be the oil housing leaking. this is unacceptable and very dangerous.
Another 2014 jeep wrangler owner with a cracked oil filter housing/cooling assembly. oil is spilling out all over exhaust. certainly a fire hazard. with as many complaints with this particular part that i have seen all over jeep forming and on the nhtsa site i am surprised that chrysler has not taken any action but is leaving this to their owners to rectify.
While driving noticed an oil burning smell, got home and looked under the hood and found a pool of engine oil. found out from owner of the same car that a broken oil cooler assembly. this could have cause the car to burn- very dangerous indeed. happens in lots of chrysler's vehicles
Cracked oil filter housing, pictures show leaks on the ground and cross member, came out to the leaks this morning.
Oil filter adapter housing cracked due to cold weather.
