I started to hear a ticking noise coming from my engine so I took it to the dealer and they said I needed a new upper intake manifold. I asked them what would cause this and they said perhaps it was the way the car was driven.

This is ridiculous as I have babied the car since it was new. I’ve had the oil changed every 3,000 miles using full synthetic oil. I love the looks of the car but this type of problem should not be happening at 39,000 miles.
