The contact owns a 1997 Ford Expedition. The dealer informed the contact that the manifold bolts have rusted out and need to be rebuilt and re-drilled. The vehicle was not included in any recalls. The contact heard a ticking sound coming from the passenger side of the motor due to the manifold rusting. The noise ceases when the vehicle heats up. The current mileage is 190,000 and failure mileage was 188,000.
