Was "carma" supposed to be a pun since we're talking about automobiles, or is it just misspelled?

 

This thread is going to get closed from the Troll-induced ripples.

Here is a definition of Troll as a Public Service Announcement.

troll

1a. Noun
One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument.


1b. Noun
A member of an internet forum who continually harangues and harasses others. Someone with nothing worthwhile to add to a certain conversation, but rather continually threadjacks or changes the subject, as well as thinks every member of the forum is talking about them and only them. Trolls often go by multiple names to circumvent getting banned.

 

Yep you're absolutely correct!

Chrysler Fixes Pentastar Engines

I love how they say "the problem is caused by a particular fuel and driving conditions."

Still not owning up to the fact it is a "design flaw."

If a service advisor tried to tell me that, I'd go nuts.

So basically what you are telling me is that by putting in gasoline (aka the recommended fuel) and driving it (aka its intended purpose) that this causes the problem.

11 days ago i was almost 1000 miles less then today. 11 days ago I had my oil changed with a slight tick and with some of you oh ignore it oh thats normal, oh it does it when I start it only. It is kind of hard to decifer exactly whats normal and whats not. But I know I have a tick and I know your a wuss attacking individuals over a computer screen. the forum is for opinions ideas and complaining. And when you purposely blow your engine up as you said you were going to do in the other thread which mirrors this one, I hope they tell you "Why didnt you bring the Jeep in when it "said check engine" and you say Duh I dunno... they say well sorry we re not covering a blown motor idiot you should have sought attention for the engine. How long you gonna drive it with the CEL on? I thnk not paying attention to the warning light to bring the Jeep in might void your warranty. Or at this point I can only hope it does.

 

This entire website needs to be closed. I mean what a bunch of freaking babies.

From the naked post being deleted then now the threat of this post.

The guy who works at the dealer who got banned from the website that had the YouTube video showing the new 2013 Jeep top

Let it be and let it run.

It's not our fault some people have severe inconsistencies with their stories.

 

About a 2 weeks ago I was checking my fluids and heard a very slight metal on metal ticking from the left (Drivers) side of the engine bay. Knowing my jeep and its sounds pretty well I decided to keep an eye, or rather an ear, on it. Over the last 2 weeks the sound has gotten louder but not horrible yet. No CEL, no misfire, but mileage has decreased( I don't rely on the MPG read out, I do the math every time i fill up), I was averaging between 18.5 and 20 depending on city:highway ratio. Now I'm lucky to get 16.5.

Yesterday I decided to find out if others had this "ticking" and found this thread.

I took my jeep to the nearest dealer, we will call them "Dealer B" (about 6 miles) for them to check it out. they verified that the "ticking" was there and said it was indeed excessive, they asked to see my last oil change receipt which was from the dealer I bought the jeep from ("Dealer A"). low and behold Dealer A put the wrong weight oil in ( 5W20 instead of 5W30 which Chrysler recommends). They suggested that I take it back to Dealer A and have them correct it.

When I got to Dealer A, I showed them what had transpired and they apologized and agreed to fix it. Then i mentioned the ticking sound and the service writer said that they were aware of the head issues with the 3.6 and that they do a lot of replacements. At that point I decided to sit down with the service manager to have a talk.

Now this is the important part everyone:

The service manager (Bryan) told me that they do on average, one a week!
Bryan said they don't get many Wranglers in because the 3.6 is so new in them but they get a lot of vans and patriots with the problem. He proceeds to tell me that they have done over 100 head replacements, drivers side on the 3.6 only, and that they have a mechanic that that is all he does. He also said that he doesn't think that the oil change would make the sound go away and that they usually don't start the repair/replace process until it throws a code or starts misfiring.

We talked a little more ( I can be very persuasive ) and I now have an appointment for next week to drop the jeep off and pick up my rental car(no charge). They are going to try to diagnose the "Ticking" sound, find an air leak in the cab causing a whistle at highway speeds, and go from there.

Good idea. This was kind of a trial run to see if creating a document like this spreadsheet would sound the alarm for some owners who do not want their info made public. However, the feedback I'm getting is only positive. I think that by not showing the member names, it gives everyone enough anonymity.

 

Thanks Cowboy5150. Crazy Cowboy...love that. I'll add your info to the spreadsheet. Please keep us all posted.

 

I think we may have twins from the same dealership...2012 JKU with only 500 mile and mpg is coming up but slowly and barely 15 mpg here. Its a May 12 build.
