2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee: engine knocking or ticking

Filed Aug 3, 2020 · Engine · 88,000 miles · OH

My jeep 5.7l v8 was under extended warranty and was taken to the dealer for recall on ignition and computer flash for receiver. While there I asked them to check the ticking noise coming from my motor. I was advised this was normal for this motor and mileage(88,000). This tick keeps getting worse and I see most 5.7s up to now still have it ,before the lifters ruin a crankshaft. Is the federal safety agency going to correct this travesty or hide behind their reputation ,like the crash dummy next to this page?

After cranking my jeep, the passenger side had a loud clicking/ticking sound. It sounds like the airbag is trying to connect but doesn't. It has continued to make this sounds off and on since. No service lights come on. I have not taken it in since it doesn't do it every time. I did ask about it when getting my oil changed. No one could tell me anything unless they take the dash out and I can't be that long without a ride since I work daily.

In the past 6 months roughly, my husband has accidentally knocked the key of our jeep while commuting to/from work a lf a dozen times and the vehicle shut off while traveling over 60 miles per hour on a busy minneapolis freeway. Fortunately, it has not resulted in an accident (yet). It happened again just last wednesday! We did receive at least 2 recall notices from jeep, however, when we call to schedule the appointment, the dealership has informed us that they have not received the parts yet. I called again yesterday and it was the same story. So I called chrysler directly. They gave me the same story and offered absolutely nothing other than tips to try to not knock the key, which we have tried them all already. The vehicle is not safe!! My husband cannot be replaced and I have heard close to 30 people have died as a result of this p41 recall already. He will not be another one! My complaint is that when a customer is actually experiencing the issue, chrysler is not offering anything to help us out until the part is available. I would expect that offering loaner jeep or working with us to replace the jeep would be much less expensive than a lawsuit if something happens to my husband. I am very concerned and frustrated at their lack of interest to help us out.

I went to change the oil and noticed only 2 quarts were drained from the engine instead of 5. I use mobile1 fully synthetic motor oil and since then im averaging losing a quart of oil a month. The oil light does not come on, when it gets low, I just noticed the engine was knocking. I searched for answers online and found out that this happens on all 3.7 lt engines around 75,000 miles chrysler makes. Why is there no recall?
