Description of the problem | When starting the vehicle the is a distinct ticking sound coming from the passenger side. As the vehicle warms up it goes away. After later diagnosis, it was found that the bolts on the exhaust manifold had broke off or sheared off from the head. This was said to be a common issue with ram trucks because of the heat displacement issue. I come to find out that chrysler has no record or intention of addressing this issue. The current warranty will only cover a fraction of cost. If this is a common issue, it should be fixed instead of making the consumer pay more for the product defects. |
