Consumer Description

THIS CRACK IS PERVASIVE WITH 91-97 JEEPS. ALL DEALERSHIP AND PRIVATE-LABEL MECHANICS ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. JEEP IS AWARE OF IT BECAUSE IN SEVERAL STATES (INCL. CA) THEY INCREASED THE WARRATNY TO 80,000 MILES FOR THE EXHAUST, AND BEGINNING WITH 97 JEEP MODELS, BEGAN USING BETTER QUALITY MATERIALS FOR THE EXHAUST. THE PROBLEM IS FRACTURE CRACKS CAUSED BY UNEVEN CONTRACTION/EXPANSION DUE TO HEAT/COLD. THE PROCESS IS UNEVEN BECAUSE THE METAL USED FOR THE EXHAUST IS NOT THE APPROPRIATE QUALITY. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN INHERENT DEFECT AND THUS IS A BREACH OF JEEP'S IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHATABILITY FOR JEEP. CONSEQUENTLY, I'M ASKING NHTSA'S ASSISTANCE IN FORCING JEEP TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES. THE REPAIRS COST ABOUT $1,000 AT THE JEEP DEALERS. *AK
