The truck has an exaust leak. It's on the passenger side manifold. The bolt broke for some reason and is a big common issue in these trucks. There needs to be a recall because the bolts used wasnt strong enough to with stand pressure and corrosion. My cruise control also no longer works like it should. It will go into cruise control very rarely and when it does it's hard to get it out. I have to shut the truck off…

Cruise control functionalities is not working with 100 percent consistencies. When the cruise control is set active, it cannot be deactivated or cancel, the only way to disengage the active cruise control is by stepping on the brake to cancel or deactivate the cruise control. I believe this is a safety concern what if the cruise control can not be disengage.
