Description of the problem	About a week ago i called the dealership to report a cracked exhaust manifold. I asked if there has been any recalls of this and the service manager who was very rude told me no. Today,friday may 25th my exhaust manifold has broken in half in two (2) spots each next ta a weld. I have a friend who is a boilermaker and a union rep. As well as an expert in all aspects of welding and metals, has told me this is defective. That it should stand high temps. And a lot longer life than this! Well to tell you the truth i have had several automobiles through out the years and i have never had an exhaust manifold break or even crack on me ,ever! The service manager said i was out of warrenty and that i was out of luck.. I have even looked at te specs. On the exhaus manifold that jeep advertises and it even says that the exhaust manifold is a long life. Please help me !*ak
