Consumer Description

THE MANNIFOLD HAS CRACKED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME, JEEP FIXED IT, STATING THERE WAS A "DESIGN FLAW". NOW, APPROX. TWO YEARS LATER, AND ANOTHER 32,000 MILES(ROUGHLY) THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME, THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT, DUE TO MILEAGE. HOWEVER, I FEEL AS IF THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW, AND THIS HAPPENS EVERY 30,000 MILES OR SO, SOMEONE SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ATTEMPT TO CORRECT IT. I JUST HAD IT FIXED FOR THE SECOND TIME AND THE COST WAS $600.00. NLM
