Have changed oil every 3-4k miles; dealer told me noise due to using Jiffy Lube and non-Mopar oil filter. Will not cover work with warranty...any recalls known?

    Go above the dealer to the district representative. Let them know that you nkow this is a very common problem and you want it fixed. The sqeaky wheel gets the grease. It is not because the oil and filter you are using if you search the internet this problem is all over. If you dont want to fix the problem I found a couple sites that people used 5W-30 synthetic in the winter and the 10W-30 synthetic in the summer. This got rid of their noise. Sorry found no recalls.
