| Description of the problem | While driving down the highway all of a sudden i heard a loud hissing sound. Noticed it was a manifold leak after further inspection noticed two bolts were broke on the drivers side, left side of the motor by the firewall. There is no possible way to remove these broken bolts other than pulling the motor. No mechanic will touch it. Therefore leaving the cost on the consumer. The grade of the bolts are very poor. They knew the 4. 7 v8 motor would not have enough space for the consumer to fix these issues. Leaving the consumer to pay thousands of dollars to fix their mistake it is not safe it is not fair. Now the consumer has to worry that |
