Description of the problem	I am the owner of a 2005 jeep grand cherokee with a 4. 7 v8. The exhaust manifold bolts (qty 2) on the passenger side sheared resulting in exhaust manifold leak (possibly due to heat or under engineering rust was not a factor). I have made chrysler aware of this issue as many people have experienced this issue with the 4. 7 v8 found not only in the grand cherokee but the commander, and dodge durango as well. A leaking exhaust manifold can cause engine compartment fires. This issue can also result in toxic fume inhalation through cabin air intake ports. The dealership quoted $1300 to replace (8) bolts that should never fail. When i called chrysler, they were not interested in my safety, and excused the issue by stating that "cars are just not made like they used to be". I find this ridiculous due to the fact that this issue can result in death, oxygen deprivation, as well as server burn in the event of fire.
