Description of the problem | The truck has an exaust leak. It's on the passenger side manifold. The bolt broke for some reason and is a big common issue in these trucks. There needs to be a recall because the bolts used wasnt strong enough to with stand pressure and corrosion. My cruise control also no longer works like it should. It will go into cruise control very rarely and when it does it's hard to get it out. I have to shut the truck off most of the time to get it out of cruise control mode. The lights that luminate the press buttons in the steering wheel flicker randomly. So it tells me it must be a wiring issue of some sort. I've contacted a dodge dealer ship and they are aware of the problem but they refuse to fix it as they say it's normal wear and tear. I'm afraid with the exaust leak the extra heat in the engine bay may result in melted wires or even worse a fire. Thank you for reviewing this problem. |
