What owners wrote
Summary: oil cooler housing cracked. This occurred at less than 51,000. We were lucky that it happened in our garage rather then while driving the vehicle. The vehicle was unsafe to drive due to the oil leak and had to be towed for repairs. If we had been driving it could have caused engine failure. Covered under power train warranty but seems to be a common theme with the 2014s. Request research help
Transmission supply and return steel hose rubbed on transmission housing causing the steel hose to have a hole and leak transmission fluid. Hose did have a plastic bracket that broke over time.
