It makes the same sound if I change the temperature on the dual climate control. Digital navigation system /radio doesn't work after shutting off vehicle and restarting it.

The mechanic stated that the car needed an entire new engine as there were issues with the timing chain that then caused issues to the surrounding valves. In doing research, as this car only has 98,000 miles and is always serviced, I found that Chrysler has already recalled the Challengers with the same 5.7L HEMI engines, but has not done so for the 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee's.
