  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
My 1997 Hyundai/Elantra gls has a cracked exhaust manifold that was detected by my husband, the car has 98,600. Miles and out of warrant, but it has to be fixed. It could be a health problem if you are traveling long distances, and do not know the manifold is cracked. We travel a lot of miles, now my husband knows why he was so exhausted last trip. We just want someone to know this.
