#750111August 8, 2001
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
HAD JEEP IN FOR AC PROBLEM, DEALER NOTICED CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD. I SUSPECTED THIS BEFORE, AS ENGINE SOUNDED DIFFERENT. IN TALKING WITH SERVICE REP, THEY ADVISED "WE HAVE SEEN A LOT OF THESE, IT CRACKS IN A CURVED PART OF THE MANIFOLD. THE REPLACEMENT MANIFOLD HAS A FLEXIBLE CURVE WHERE THE CRACK OCCURS". IT COST ME $881.88 TO HAVE THE REPLACEMENT DONE. BASED ON THE SERVICE REPS COMMENT, SOUNDS LIKE A DESIGN DEFECT.
