1 Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problem

Failure Date: 05/13/2020

My van started making a clicking noise while on and was pulling a code for misfires in the engine. It turned out to be a common known condition causing metal in the oil system. I still owe $8500. 00 on this van. I am a single mother of three and now will be upside down on a car that I love. I spoke to different mechanics who agreed it happens in this models engine. I believed Chrysler to be top quality product and never imagined that I would be on the other end of a call telling me that my top quality car is not what I thought it was. I am extremely disappointed and have feel it needs reported so other families do not have to go through the same financial burden that I am.

2 Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problem

Failure Date: 11/14/2019

I've listed a date below I don't recall the exact date, don't recall the exact mileage, or the exact speed everything listed herein is approximate, if it had happened all day everyday then I could've remembered, but the following has happened on multiple occasions both in winter and in summer. 1. Vehicle has stopped on me while driving multiple times, doesn't otherwise seem to drive rough, it has also stalled on me while driving and I make "y" turns or am driving and stop at a stop sign. I put the van back in park, and it will start back up. It doesn't happen while the car is in park. Sometimes there is a burning smell that is similar to the smell of an airplane. 2. Ticking noise when I start and continues while I'm driving and increases as I accelerate. 3. Heat and a/c will turn on, on its own, turns on the rear first, and then the front seats after, I can turn it off and it will repeat the process (I've actually recorded it happening). 4. Left passenger door closes on its own, won't stay open, clicking noise even if it's closed. 5. Interior lights and radio will flicker and go dim then bright (as if switching from night to daytime throughout the whole time I'm driving frequently happens).

3 Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problem

Failure Date: 03/27/2019

Exactly one year ago my van (72,000 miles) started misfiring / idling rough (code: p0301), I changed the coil and spark plug in cylinder 1. This did not correct the problem. A short time after the engine started making a loud ticking noise. I still had miles left on my warranty so took it for service. The dealer replaced both cam shafts, 12 rocker arms and 12 tappet-valve lash on the back side. This repaired the issue until a couple months later - the oil filter housing started leaking. Repaired that, another huge issue. Now as of yesterday, the van is showing (code: p0304) misfiring and idling rough. I now fear the same issue is brewing on the front side (cylinders 2,4,6).

4 Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problem

Failure Date: 11/17/2014

Vehicle was purchased brand new from dealer with 199 miles on odometer as it was delivered from another dealership. First time driving vehicle from dealership to home approx 100 miles a loud clanking noise was heard at low speeds during initial acceleration and deceleration. We took the vehicle back to dealer the next day for repair. They found that the engine was missing motor mount bolts. It appeared they were never installed at factory.
