Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Exhaust system on the 1998 acura 2.5 tl. i have had to have the o2 sensor replaced and now as told the exhaust manifold is cracked. i was aldo told by the dealer that there have been a number of cases were the manifold cracked. if this is a problem that you see repeated in a particular vehicle is it not fairly safe to say there is a problem from the manufacture? what can be done to save consumers the expense of about $1200.00 to repair what seems obvious to be a manufacturer defect with the exhaust system?*ak
