Consumer Description

THE CONNECTION FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM TO THE ENGINE MANIFOLD HAS FAILED TWICE, ONCE AT 32K MILES AND NOW AT 81K MILES. BOTH TIMES THIS CAUSED THE ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM TO COLLAPSE TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP MOVING FORWARD. LUCKILY BOTH TIMES I WAS IN A PARKING LOT GOING UNDER 15MPH OTHERWISE THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON A ROADWAY. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING EITHER TIME. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS NOT THE FACT THAT THIS PART FAILS FOR NO APPARENT REASON, BUT THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO SUPPORT FOR THE EXHAUST SYSTEM BETWEEN THE REAR AND FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
