EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK WHICH ALLOWS EXHAUST FUMES TO ESCAPE INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. *AK VEHICLE DOE NOT MEET EMISSIONS TEST REQUIREMENTS.*JB

EXHAUST MANIFOLD STARTED LEAKING AROUND 30,000 MI. NOW AT 49,850 LARGE CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED. VEHICLE MISFIRES AND RUNS ROUGH. JEEP DENIES PROBLEM EXISTS. SEEMS LIKE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY. LARGE NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS SHOW OBVIOUS PRODUCT DEFECT.*AK

SIRS, I HAVE SOME GENERAL CONCERNS, AND COULD NOT FIND ANOTHER AREA ON THE WEB SITE TO ADDRESS THEM: I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE SAME LIGHTS THAT MARK BRAKE USE, ALSO MARK TURNING. WHEN SOMEONE IS TAPPING BRAKES AND HAS TURN SIGNALS ON, IT IS UNCLEAR WHAT THEIR INTENTION IS. I ALSO DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY WE HAVE RUNNING LIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME. I HAVE TO DIM MY REAR VIEW MIRROR TO AVOID BEING DISTRACTED BY THESE LIGHTS, WHICH DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF THESE LIGHTS.*AK

HAD HEARD A NOISE WHEN VEHICLE WAS STARTED, SOUNDED LIKE A HOLE IN MUFFLER. EXHAUST WAS COMING OFF ENGINE. PROBLEM GOT WORSE. 2 PIECES OF HOSES BECAME ONE AND JOINED, THEY CRACKED AND NEARLY SEPARATED. THEY WERE TOO CLOSE TO ENGINE. CONTACTED MANUFACTURER, AND INFORMED OVER WARRANTY AND WILL NOT REPAIR.*AK
