My car is making a ticking noise. I have changed the oil with a better brand and the technician explained it could be the arm rocker that goes bad with that specific engine

Purchased vehicle january 2014. At 7000 miles, rear engine seal began leaking. Replaced under warranty. Valve rocker arm guides replaced under service bulletin for ticking noise at 9000 miles. Leaking valve cover gasket replaced at 10,000 miles (result of previous repair). Check engine light at 11,750 miles - over-rev code - this condition occurred at 70 MPH, accompanied by a sudden deceleration and "chirping" of rear tires. Vehicle has not been abused in any way. Currently have 12,000 miles on vehicle and dreading warranty expiration in 6 months...

My 2014 challenger r/t has had a bad ticking valve train since about new. The ticking, clipping, sewing machine noise is on the passenger side,it's loud and clearly heard in the cab at around 1500rpm and up. Star case tab removal was performed, no good.next lifters and mds solenoids was replaced still no good. Now along with the ticking noise I have loud spark knock in mds mode on passenger side. Have burnt oil smell after attempted repairs. Dealer and dodge rep says all is normal. Why was all these repairs attempted to fix my engine now all of a sudden it's all normal? What's normal about loud ticking valve train that can be heard in the cab, loud spark knock and burning oil smell? It's not, they want me to go away! Well I'm not! I qualify for lemon law but just want my car repaired. Isn't that what a warranty is for? Come on dodge step up and repair my engine! Give me what I paid for! Don't treat your customers like dirt!

Brand new car delivered had a ticking sound only while driving at aprox 1800 RPM's and above.. Complained to dealer and was told "normal" for new car until engine break-in. Weeks later star case [xxx] performed on car to remove tabs left on lifters at engine assembly. Tabs removed, no relief from ticking. Chrysler rep authorized dealer to change regular oil to srt penzoil 0w40 full synthetic with cost being billed to chrysler for next 5 years. Ticking is still heard inside vehicle while driving. Dealer refuses to service car for "ticking" engine. I was told dodge would not pay for their time to check the car. I took car out of state to another dealer who was not able to repair ticking per dodge. This is not the hemi tick. Some customers are getting their cars repaired, others are being brushed off as "normal". Some have had engines replaced and another has had his vehicle replaced. If this is "normal" why aren't all 5.7 engines doing this? They're not! It is extremely annoying to listen to the tickatickaticka constantly while driving. It is embarrassing to have passenger's hear the ticking. I have gathered about 60 other hemi 5.7 owners together all with the same problem. Why won't chrysler/dodge fix our cars? An email from chrysler stated " "to review of our records indicates that the condition in question is a function of your vehicle's design and is not a defect in materials, workmanship, manufacturing, or factory preparation. These are the only types of defects covered under the new vehicle limited warranties." what they are telling me is that they knew this problem existed and it's a function of my vehicle's design? There is nothing in any documents I have that state this car will tick as it does. I would not have purchased this vehicle if ticking was part of the car's design. Fix it chrysler!!!!!

The car has a whine which comes and goes as the car hits and maintains a cruising speed. Took to dealer several times and they have stated that it is a normal condition. Also car has a hesitation upon start from a stop and has ticking from the engine bay. Ticking was called "normal" by dealer. Am now working with dodge directly to no avail to have issues resolved.

My car hesitates when taking off sometimes and the engine is ticking like it has bad valves.
