NHTSA Complaint #11418093 — 2013 RAM 1500

Exhaust manifold warped and bolts broke, causing risk of CO^2 contamination in passenger compartment. The above listed issue is recognized as a "Known Issue" on the FCA's Mopar Recall Check tool. Multiple forums document ongoing recurrences with with certain years of the Ram 1500, https://www.ramforum.com/threads/recall-no-more-5-7l-exhaust-manifold-bolts.117041/ The problem has been inspected, diagnosed and acknowledged by Mopar RAM Service Technicians at Charlie's Dodge in Maumee, Ohio. Audible knocking sound from engine compartment was noticeable, with zero warning indicators to alert to a problem. Previous technicians pacified me with statements that indicated that the knocking noise was a typical RAM Truck sound that goes away after the motor warms up. (But it never goes away)
