Consumer Description
EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE CONTINUOUSLY BREAKING OFF CREATING HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS. EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASES ARE LEAKING DIRECTLY INTO ENGINE BAY AROUND THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. UNFILTERED EXHAUST GASES ARE BYPASSING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND PASSING STRAIGHT TO THE ATMOSPHERE. CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION AND CHARGING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX IT EVERY TIME IT BREAKS. THE ISSUE ALSO THROWS THE VEHICLE COMPUTER INTO AN OPEN LOOP DUE TO FAULTY O2 READINGS NEGATIVELY IMPACTING FUEL AND PERFORMANCE CAUSING FURTHER POLLUTION AND EMISSIONS NEGATIVELY IMPACTING ENVIRONMENT AND HEALTH OF OCCUPANTS. AFTER CHARGING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO 'FIX' THE ISSUE THEY MERELY REPLACE BROKEN PARTS WITH THE EXACT TYPE AND MATERIAL THAT FAILED PREVIOUSLY. THE MANIFOLD/EXHAUST ISSUE IS INDEPENDENT OF ANY VEHICLE MOTION OR DRIVING CONDITION. RUNNING THE ENGINE IN ANY CONDITION WILL CAUSE THE FAILURE DUE TO DISSIMILAR METALS USED AND DIFFERENCE IN METALS MOVEMENT AS IT HEATS AND COOLS. PRESENTLY THIS IS THE 10TH BOLT BROKE OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY SINCE OWNING VEHICLE. *TR
