Reported at 6,000 miles, July 2014 Crash

There are bolts on the manifold that keep breaking. I have gone into the shop 3 times for call back issues. Each time they check my manifold, I have bolts that are broken. 1.5 years ago I replaced 2 bolts. In may of 2018 I replaced 2 bolts. In july of 2018 I replaced 7 bolts. The dealer says they replace bolts on the dodge,every week. They call it a dodge thing. They say it is from the torque, when it heats up. They are breaking while I am driving.
