I feel like a 4 year old car with 60,000 miles shouldn’t have a problem like this....

Noticed oil spot on garage floor...thought it was from another vehicle. Noticed again when leaving a parking spot...took vehicle in immediately to dealership and found oil leak as a result of a defective oil filter...REALLY??!!! Oil filter replaced and oil change done.
