Complaint Summary

ENGINE

Owner Narrative

I NOTICED THAT THERE IS A TICKING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE BAY. THE SOUND STOPS AFTER THE ENGINE WARMS SLIGHTLY. FROM THE INFORMATION I HAVE, THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS HAVE BROKEN AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE SEAL FOR THE EXHAUST IS NOW COMPROMISED THUS POSSIBLY HAVING AN EXHAUST LEAK. I UNDERSTAND FROM OTHER OWNERS THE ISSUE RETURNS EVEN AFTER REPAIRED. FCA ISSUED A TSB FOR THIS ISSUE (TSB 11-002-11).
