Consumer Description

My RAM has been diagnosis with the same faulty manifold bolts as what seems to be numerous other 3rd and 4th generation RAMs and is resulting in dangerous exhaust leakage along with the potential for it to cause heads to cease while driving. I discovered the prevalence of reports of the same issue after my dealer diagnosed the issue while repairing a faulty air bag that has been recalled. The dealer quoted me $2,031.89 to make the repairs (see attached). In one forum alone, there are 100s of people that have cited the same issue and some have left their NHTSA complaint IDs: 11321983, 11317189, 11321434.
