Consumer Description

ON THE MORNING OF 06/27/00,WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. AS I ACCELERATED TO 70 FROM 65, THE DONUT ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD (FLANGE GASKET) GAVE OUT. THE CAR BEGAN TO SOUND LIKE A LAWNMOWER. I TOKE IT TO MIDAS. THEY TOLD ME TO CHECK WITH DODGE FOR FEDERAL REPAIRS FOR EXHAUST. DODGE SAID NO, IT WASN'T COVERED, ONLY CATYLITIC CONVERTERS AND BRAIN OF ELECT. I DIDN'T BELEIVE THE REP. HE PROVED NO PROOF. THE BRAKE SYSTEM, HAD THE ROTORS RESURFACED AND PADS REPLACED AT 36244. IS THIS NORMAL? THE DRUMS HAD TO BE RECERFACED ALSO.
