Description of the problem	I had bought my 2012 jeep wrangler with 2200 miles on it. I took my 2012 jeep wrangler to the dealership for an oil change at 3000 miles when i noticed after the oil change i heard a ticking coming from the engine. I drove it around thinking it might go away until after 1000 miles it did not. I took it to the dealership june 15th at 9:00 in the morning and spoke with a mechanic, manager, and my salesperson said, since it had only been a few weeks since i bought it. The manager told me they had 4 jeeps in there they had to do repairs on with the no. 2 cylinder. He told me not to worry until it threw a code. I have been looking online at youtube and forums, and my case is not the only case. There are other people out there with these new 2012 jeeps who are having the same problem and it all has to do with this pentastar engine that chrysler has released for 2012. *jb
