NHTSA Complaint #11439801 — 2015 RAM 1500

I bought this vehicle used in December 2019 from J.L Freed Honda in Montgomeryville Pa. Truck had about 78,000 miles on it. I noticed a ticking noise coming from the engine when it was started cold. Salesman advised that it was nothing to worry about and is common with RAM trucks until they warm up. Sure enough within a minute the ticking subsided. I purchased the truck and the ticking has continued when started cold. I recently had the truck inspected and was advised that the ticking was a manifold exhaust leak that will only get worse over time and is an emissions issue as well as a safety issue. I started to research the issue on line and found that the leak is caused by broken manifold bolts. It is well documented in online Forums for Dodge RAM and it appears to be a known issue with the Manufacturer but no resolution or recall has been issued. It has obviously caused much frustration for RAM owners of the 5.7 Hemi engine as detailed in the RAM Forum. The repairs are costly and with the problem being as common as it is with no resolution or help from the manufacturer, please review for possible recall.
