“Ticking noise from engine area especially under moderate acceleration, dealer inspected and said my exhaust manifolds are cracked and would cost 3k to fix .

“Noticed upon starting the vehicle, a clicking sound which became louder when driving. Vehicle was under warranty. The dealer stated the exhaust manifold was cracked. They fixed it. Shortly after the other exhaust manifold cracked and they fixed that as well. Since then, the warranty has expired and either one or both exhaust manifolds have cracked again. I was told it was going to cost literally thousands of dollars to repair. Unfortunately, I can not afford to repair the vehicle. …”
