Consumer Description

I GET FREQUENT OIL CHANGES AND I NOTICED THAT THE LAST TWO OIL CHANGES IT STARTED MAKING THIS TICKING NOISE. I BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT AFTER THE NEXT FEW OIL CHANGES IT SHOULD GO AWAY. THAN MY OTHER MECHANIC THAT HEARD THIS TICKING NOISE SAID THAT IT WAS SERIOUS AND THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH AN ENGINE PART CALLLED A LIFTER. I NERVOUS WHEN HE TOLD ME THAT IF IT'S NOT FIXED THE ENGINE COULD SEIZE. I JUST BOUGHT THIS JEEP FROM A DEALER NOT KNOWING THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG WRANGLERS. I DID MY RESEARCH AND CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MILEAGE BUT MORE SO ON HOW THE ENGINE WAS BUILT. I SPOKE TO NUMBER OF DEALERSHIPS AND THEY FIX THIS COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL AGES AND MILEAGE WRANGLERS. THE ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR WOULD RANGE FROM $2000 AND UP. I DON'T THINK WE AS CONSUMERS OF THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE REPAIRING AN ENGINE PROBLEM FROM CHRYSLER. I DON'T HAVE ANY PICTURES YET TIL THE DEALERSHIP OPENS UP THE ENGINE
