2015 Chrysler Town and Country: engine knocking or ticking

Filed Jan 21, 2025 · Engine · IL

There is a loud ticking noise coming from the engine. A mechanic said it’s a rocket arm failure. He said there are problems with them and were recalled in 2014. After researching the problem, it appears that the problem extends past the 2014 model year. You tube has hundreds of repair videos for this engine. The mechanic said that the problem will only get worse and can cause the engine to stall and miss and it will eventually freeze up causing a possible accident. Please investigate this. I have maintained this vehicle well with oil changes every 3000 miles. Thank you.

The engine developed a ticking noise. From what I have found, there are defective rocker arms in the engine. Eventually, they will fail and cause complete engine failure which can occur at any time, even when driving at high speeds. This seems to be a serious safety concern. There is a class action lawsuit working its way through the courts, but, there should be a safety recall. thanks [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My Vehicle is no even at 100,000 and there is a ticking noise, I was told it is the rocker arm and lifter, I was told that this is a constant issue with Chryslers and that this happens constantly. I fell like since i am right outside of the warranty by a few months that this should be covered considering i heard a tick before my warranty was up and was never told that is what it was and every time i took it everyone just brushed it off. This is a safely hazard because i was told i have to wait until this gets really bad before anyone can do anything about it cause no one know which rocker arm is messing up. My car can stop or back fire at any point and all I'm being told is i have to wait until it mess up all the way which is not a good thing. It can stop at any point and someone could run right into me. Yes it was inspected by 2 car places, as well as the warranty department for them to tell me this would be covered but cant be until i get it fixed. There are no check engine lights to show this is a issue and i was told that is really odd that they are no signal lights to show there is an issue with the engine. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

119000 miles on while driving vehicle service light came on. Had plugs and coil replace because of skipping. Problem still on going had fuel injection done. Still skipping, mechanic suggest getting heads redone. Lifters making ticking sound.

This could happen to any vehicle with a fuel tank and a sliding passenger door on the same side. A friend was at the gas pump refueling, the rest of us were still in the van talking. We decided we needed some more information which was in my purse in the very back of the van. With out thinking I opened the sliding door which was on the same side as the fuel door, causing the sliding door to catch the fuel nozzle and knock it out of the vehicle. Luckily the person doing the fueling reacted quickly and there was not a real disaster. So there needs to be some type of lock or sensor that will not let the sliding door open if the fuel tank refueling door is open. We were very lucky, a few splashes of gasoline on us and the side of the van. We were all adults, I can only think of how terribly wrong this could have gone. There are many scenario's to consider and think about. I felt so bad and scared, I do not want another person to go through this!! I cannot believe we were the first that this has happened to, but it needs to be brought to someone's attention!!
