File date	10/06/99

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Dealer said no warrenty coverage for manifold due to mileage and age. Called chrysler help line and told maybe cold water or rain got on it and agreed i should have bought extended warrenty. Why isn't the manifold covered under the emission control warrenty. What is more important then getting the exhaust gas to the converter? Instead it goes to the air and creates a safety problem if it gets in the passenger compartment. I see your data bank has other manifold failures alredy and service notices of head bolt maifold issues. Looks like a mfg. Defect since these vehicles are so young. The fuel pump was fixed under warrenty, the car would't start right. The power steering unit continues to leak slowly and the dealer suggest a seal leaking but i have to pay to fix. Great car!
