Consumer Description

MY CAR HAD A NOISE ON THE ENGINE. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED. HE REPLACED THE MANIFOLD. HE SAID THAT THE DEALER SAID THEY HAD CHANGED THE DESIGN DUE TO DEFECT. THE OLD PART NUMBER WAS 14004-0W000 U40 MANIFOLD - E. THE REPLACEMENT PART USED WAS 14004-2W600 WITH NO COVER AVAILABLE. THE COVER WAS NOT REPLACED . THE DEALER SAID THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART. NOW I HAVE TWO DIFFERENT MANIFOLDS. I FEEL THIS COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD BECAUSE IT CAN BECOME VERY HOT AND START A FIRE. NOW I AM AFRAID OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MANIFOLD CRACKS AND START A FIRE OR FUMES GET INTO THE CAR. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD CHECK ON THIS AND LET ME KNOW THE OUTCOME.*AK
