| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Many jeep wranglers built before 2001 have a defective manifold that cracks, causing exhaust problems. this is the reason jeep completely redesigned the manifold in the newer models. they have yet to send out a recall to fix this problem. when i first noticed the loud noise resulting from the cracked manifold, my car had approximately 37,000 miles on it. not high mileage by any means. the main concern i have with this problem is the health hazard it poses to the driver. the section of the wrangler where the cracked manifold is located is underneath the front of the car, where exhaust fumes leaking from it seep up into the cabin very easily, especially when stopped at lights or in heavy traffic. i believe the manufacturers of jeep are very aware of this problem but don't care to do anything about it. *nlm |
