Dealer identified a cracked exhaust manifold in my 1998 jeep grand cherokee. The car only has 49,600 miles and is not used for off-road driving. I believe there is a manufacturer defect. Most owners, as in my case, find out too late. There seems to be increasing and recurring incidents with the 4.0l engines. Chrysler redesigned the 1999 models without notifying 1998 owners of the manifold problem. Chrysler is not willing to pay for any of the $1200 plus it will cost me to repair.
