Consumer Description

DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS BEEN UNRESPONSIVE TO MY REQUESTS FOR REPLACEMENT OF THIS PART UNDER "IMPLIED WARRANTY" OR ANYTHING ELSE, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR PROBLEM WEBSITES (AND YOURS) ARE FULL OF REPORTS OF EXHAUST MANIFOLD FAILURE IN LATE '90'S MODEL WRANGLERS. THEY CLAIM TO HAVE NO RECORD OF THE PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGHT THE PART HAS BEEN REDESIGNED. THE DEALER HERE HAS BEEN GREAT, BUT CAN'T DO MUCH WITHOUT MANUFACTURER SUPPORT. HERE'S HOPING THAT WITH ENOUGH INFORMATION ON THIS PART, CUSTOMERS CAN GET SOME SATISFACTION! DT
