Turned out the lifters and cam shaft had failed. Replaced by dealer at a total cost of just over $2400. Based on numerous jeep forum visits and research, this is a part defect in the cam lifter and is epidemic.

Have fca issue a recall and reimburse those that have been charged to replace their faulty parts. |
