Narrative

The oil cooler is leaking and shooting oil around the engine compartment making a lot of smoke. Not sure if there was fire or not. I went to the 2 repair shops and both said that they are inundated with the same problem from jeep owners and the parts are very expensive and hard to get. I was told not to drive the car because it could cause a fire, and I cannot afford the repair. The Chrysler corporation should take responsibility. This is a major safety issue, and now I am stuck with a vehicle that is too dangerous to drive.
