I had a 2012 Grand Cherokee with the 3.6 Pentastar that ended up having an issue with the lifters that was costly to repair. Apparently it had been a known issue with Pentastar engines for some time, though i don't know if they've taken any steps to rectify that since then.
I had them do the spark plugs while they were in there since it's such a pita to do the plugs on this engine. At least on the 4x4 configuration, apparently it's easier to work on when it's in a fwd vehicle because the engine is turned sideways in the 4x4.
Aside from the lifter issue the engine worked well for 13 years for me until i traded it in. I wouldn't recommend a 4x4 with a Pentastar V6 for anyone interested in doing their own maintenance because aside from oil changes pretty much everything is a pain in the butt to do.
That lifter issue is the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger on a Wrangler. FCA has done nothing to rectify the issue in newer models.
They have actually. The gen 3 Penta star has been updated . Millions of these vehicles are on the road avoid the earlier models 2011-2014
@@markwilliams6378 there are plenty of 2015+ in the shop for rocker arm issues. From my understanding they still use the same lousy rocker arms.
