Manifold gasket sucked in.. causing spark knocking. Headlight not working properly due to bad ground. Chrysler fixed headlight at no charge, however, told me there was a tsb on manifold gasket and still charged me for repairs.. they stated that they did not have to fix because they remodeled the engine. Female subject at Chrysler headquarters hung up on me.
