NHTSA Complaint #10761555 — 2004 DODGE DURANGO

ONE RANDOM DAY..AS I STARTED MY DURANGO, IT STARTED MAKING A FAST CLICKING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE. SEEMS TO DRIVER AND IDLE FINE,BUT IT ISN'T A NORMAL SOUND SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS DURANGO A WHILE AND NEVER HEARD IT TILL NOW. TO FIND OUT ITS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE..BEEN TOLD ITS THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. TAKES A FEW MINS,BUT GOES AWAY ABOUT 90%.THE COLDER IT IS OUTSIDE THE WORST AND LOUDER THE NOISE IS.I SEARCHED ONLINE ABOUT THIS AND LOOKS LIKE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE AND SUPRISEING ITS NOT A RECALL. I WAS TOLD BY A SHOP I HAVE A BROKEN STUD BOLT AND WILL COST.1200-2000. I DON'T HAVE THAT KINDA MONEY.SO IS THERE A WAY I COULD GET HELP GETTING THIS FIXED? BECAUSE IT IS POSSIBLE IT COULD MESS UP THE PISTON ON THAT SIDE OF THE LOOS MANIFOLD. ALSO RECEIVED A LETTER THAT I HAVE A RECALL FOR THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR..WAITING FOR MY DEALER TO CALL ME BACK FOR A APPOINTMENT.
