Description of the problem	Engine began making ticking noise from engine bay at about 77,000 miles. Jeep has been serviced as required with quality synthetic oil and filters since new. Done more often than jeep requires. Took to dealer who agreed it was making noise and needed fixed. When valve covers were removed they found rocker arms bad on 2 cylinders and tappets collapsed on 3 cylinders. Service manager said this was a common problem that chrysler knows about. They have a star case bulletin, # s1309000016 published about this. Said they are doing several of the pentastar v6 engines a month. This is a engine that is used in mini vans, chargers, challengers, 200's and 300's, maybe others. Happening in all of these vehicles. This is a known problem and chrysler should have a recall for this. Rocker arm bearings not hardened correctly is what they told me. Being out of warranty, i had to pay out of pocket to fix this.
