Description of the problem	I have a loud tick coming from the motor. I have had it to the dealership to fix and they told me that it is a known problem but was told not to try and fix the problem. This is a known issue with these motors by daimler chrysler but refuse to fix it until there is a serious problem with the motor. The problem i have with this is the warranty may be up at that time forcing me to have to pay for something that they know about now and also the resale of the vehicle before it is fixed with that noise coming from the motor. *nm
