I just returned from the Dodge dealer in Salida, CO. They replaced the filter under warranty (13, 720 miles). He said he hadn't heard of any other problems like mine, but they were happy to replace mine and did so without without hesitation. I think the problem is more wide spread than they let on.
This is an item that consumers are expected to maintain per the owners manual. Getting it too tight or not tight enough should not be an issue. It's a pretty poor design.
While I was there I asked the parts guy about the new FS2 filters, they don't have them yet at their dealership but they are on order.
