Consumer Description

Well the other day I could smell a strong odor coming from the hood of my 2019 Ram. I started feeling a little woozy and light headed from the amount of exhaust fumes coming from the engine. I later investigated the smell and found that the engine was also making a loud ticking noise as well. I decided to tear down the vehicle and found that both exhaust manifolds were cracked in the same exact spot. Now the only way something like that can occur is either bad design, bad casting at the factory, or bad material used in casting. That would make Ram 100 % responsible for this defect. I'm not a scientist, but I would have to think that those gases escaping into the atmosphere would not be passing through the catalytic converter. If our planet is in a global warming crises that can't be helping out our atmosphere at all. I think Ram needs to replace every vehicle that has the same issue immediately. If not, no telling what affects this is making on our planet and the safety of everyone on it. Also a cracked manifold can cause engine problems like overheating and I would think an over heated engine can cease up and stop running. Now if someone were traveling at a speed of 70mph and the engine overheated and locked up, could possibly cause a fatality!
