What owners wrote
The driver side exhaust manifold bolts broke off causing an exhaust leak. This is a serious safety issue causing exhaust gas to enter the cabin! Exhaust bolts should not break off.
Driving at night at 55 MPH, the truck intermittently lost power but did not completely quit; the low beam headlights blew and went off.
