Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own an acura 2.5 tl model year 1998. i was informed by dealer last year that there was an exhaust manifold leak in the engine. the dealer quoted $2000 to fix the problem. i have not had it fixed so far, but i fear that the exhaust fumes were infiltrating the cabin, and we were breathing exhaust fumes when in the car. upon further investigation i found that this problem was also reported widely in earlier model years. *ak
