I've had the same problem from new, took it for the 1000km "service" and the dealer said it was nothing. The car only has 3500km on it, but I'll do and oil change soon and see how it goes. I did one oil change at 1500km and that didn't change the noise at all.
The extended 10yr warranty was only for the early model pentastar engine. Apparently it's been fixed on newer jks. But I don't know. I have high fuel consumption also, but I'm hoping it's because of the tyres i'm running.
14.7L per 100km/ 14.1L best I've had and that's resetting on highway driving 150km.
Nitto trail grapplers 295/70/17. Not too concerned about fuel. Just concerned about the ticking noise as described.
Mate I was getting almost 600 clicks per tank with the factory good years on my 4door manual rubicon. I put the 295/75/17 nitto trail graplers on and am lucky to get above 400ish. It's the tyres. But they great offroad so solution is to just deal with it.....lol
295 on stock ratios will kill the fuel consumption, so I'd put it down to that.
Cheers
Steve
