My challenger is making a wierd ticking noise coming from the left side of the engine. See recall below chrysler announced this morning that it will be extending the warranty on 3.6-liter pentastar v-6 engines in certain 2011-2013 vehicles due to cracked cylinder heads on early versions of the engine according to automotive news, roughly 7500 engines built as the pentastar v-6 was first coming out in 2012, were found to be susceptible to left-cylinder head cracks, potentially resulting in engine failure. Chrysler first discovered the issue when customers began complaining that their vehicles were making ticking noises, stalling, or that the instrument panel was inexplicably displaying a check engine light. The 3.6-liter pentastar v-6 comes with a 5-year/100,000 mile warranty, which chrysler will be extending to 10-years/150,000 miles on the left-cylinder head. The cracked left-cylinder head issue potentially affects about 0.5-percent of vehicles equipped with the 3.6-liter v-6. Chrysler determined that subpar fuel along with a number of driving conditions contributed to the issue. A design modification in late 2012 has reportedly fixed the issue in newer vehicles. The 3.6-liter v-6, the first of the pentastar family that now includes a 3.2-liter version, comes standard in numerous chrysler vehicles. The 3.6-liter pentastar is standard on the: chrysler 300, dodge challenger, dodge charger, jeep grand cherokee, jeep wrangler, ram 1500, and ram promaster. It's optional on both the previous-generation and current chrysler 200, and dodge avenger.

'takata recall' I was getting in my car to head to work at approximately 10:40pm when I tried starting the car but it stalled and all electrical power shut down. I tried again and it did the same. After researching, I found out that my car has a recall (p60) for the alternatordiode thermal fatigue. I had been having problems with the vehicle stalling for a week before this happened but it seem to crank after a while but now it's not starting at all. It happen once only while I was driving. Please help!

Car stalls right after initial starting attempt 50% of time. Must cycle the starting button three times to get the car to start. Occurs randomly hot or cold. No engine codes occur. Dealer has no idea what the problem is but suggests that it might be the key fobs or something called a "win" module. The problem began right after an alternator failure. I am not willing to invest money in repairing this issue unless there is a clear manufacturer strategy to fixing the problem.
