Consumer Description

Notorious exhaust manifold & mounting bolts failure affecting ALL Ram pickup trucks with the HEMI engine. Exhaust manifold bolts are breaking and/or becoming loose causing a major combustion leak, exhaust manifold damage & posing a great fire hazard. Manufacturer is well aware of the problem at hand & has grossly neglected to issue a safety recall to mitigate the hazardous conditions, risking the lives of unsuspecting occupants. I first addressed this issue with the selling dealership service advisor upon an oil change of a newly purchased vehicle & was told the noise I was hearing was a perfectly normal “HEMI Tick”. Gross Negligence to say the least!!
