I have had the exhaust manifold fail in my 99 tj twice now. The factory original cracked at about 39,000 miles and the "new and improved" oem replacement lasted 11 months (or 9,450 miles). This is getting very expensive...
On February 4, 2004 I took my 1999 Jeep Wrangler to bob mayberry Chrysler Dodge, Jeep, Inc. It was very noisy and more gasoline than usual. They said that my exhaust manifold was broken and that this was a very common problem in these vehicles. Mileage at that time was 61,935. The warranty for that year was only 3 years 36 months I was told. This repair was nearly $700 and is somethng that I have never had go wrong on any other car I ever had. This was something that the company has known about for some time now, and refused to recall the poorly designed and poorly constructed exhaust manifolds. I would like to see you force them to fix these problems and return all or part of my service bill. My VIN is 1J4fy9S7xp414936. When I called the daimler Chrysler customer service number, I was told that this was just too bad, but there was nothing that they were going to do about it.
I have a 1999 Jeep Wrangler. The exhaust manifold cracked. At first I thought it was just mine but after some discussion with others I found this is common. Did not have it fixed immediately because at first it was not bad. I only discovered it after it became very loud. Hot exhaust blows on other engine components
Exhaust manifold cracked in several places with only 56K on Jeep. Dealer says there was no special warranty for this part, but was plenty aware of the high incidence of failure with this part. Independent mechanics shop that repaired my Jeep said that his friends shop has repaired several hundred of the same vehicle as mine, just in the orlando Florida area. This part should be recalled, dangerous fumes from this obviously defective part could leak into cabin of Jeep, possibly knocking out the driver.
