Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2014 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH THE 3.6 LITER PENTASTAR ENGINE. I BOUGHT IT WITH 75K MILES. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 500 MILES, THERE WAS A VERY LOUD TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND SAID THE REPAIRS START AT $2,200. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET PERTAINING TO THIS TICKING AND NUMEROUS VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE SHOWING HOW TO REPAIR THE LIFTER NOISE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD MAKE THE FIX.
