| Description of the problem | 1997 jeep wrangler exhaust manifold. Consistent decrease in power, stumbling, and poor gas mileage. After a wreck i noticed the manifold was cracked. Both the insurance company and the authorized jeep dealership told me it was not due to the wreck but due to fact it was a common wrangler problem, and it probably had started prior to the wreck i just hadn't noticed it. But since there is not a recall they would not fix the problem. I have fixed it. |
