| Description of the problem | On february 4, 2004 i took my 1999 jeep wrangler to bob mayberry chrysler dodge, jeep, inc. It was very noisy and more gasoline than usual. They said that my exhaust manifold was broken and that this was a very common problem in these vehicles. Mileage at that time was 61,935. The warranty for that year was only 3 years 36 months i was told. This repair was nearly $700. 00 and is somethng that i have never had go wrong on any other car i ever had. This was something that the company has known about for some time now, and refused to recall the poorly designed and poorly constructed exhaust manifolds. I would like to see you force them to fix these problems and return all or part of my service bill. My vin is 1j4fy9s7xp414936. When i called the daimler chrysler customer service number, i was told that this was just too bad, but there was nothing that they were going to do about it. |
