| Description of the problem | Jeep started making a ticking noise randomly one day. I made an appointment with the local dealership and they explained the the exhaust manifold bolts were broken on both sides. Very strange considering that my jeep have never been off-road. After doing some research it has become very obvious that this is an issue with all of the chrysler vehicles with the 4. 7l v8. The company doesn't try to help with the cost and actually charges an astronomical amount to repair something that i consider bad engineering on their part. The broken bolts cause an exhaust leak that can now be detected within the car and i think is potentially dangerous for the passengers. With the bolts broken it also allows the exhaust manifold to warp cause addition damage that now needs to be repaired/replaced. |
