| Description of the problem | Chrysler (jeep) has a long running problem with exhaust manifold bolts breaking prematurely as in my case (75,000 miles). It is a common problem and places the occupants of the vehicle in danger due to exhaust fumes entering the passenger compartment, in addition to extremely hot exhaust gases creating a fire hazard in the engine compartment. Chrysler will not warrant "fasteners" or fix the issue in it's manufacturing plants and leaves the owner with a very large bill to fix it. Can you please research and make chrysler responsible for continuing to allow a known and dangerous situation to continue? I have called chrysler and filed a complaint and request for assistance |
