Exhaust manifold weld and seams to engine have and are failing. Exhaust leaks and makes loud noise in the engine compartment area. I contacted daimler/Chrysler about problem and they have not issued any bulletins ore recalls for this very costly and dangerous repair. Currently there are 4 official complaints on file with NHTSA without any further action having been taken.

Exhaust manifold cracked at the weld seam where the two exhaust ducts join into a single pipe and just before the elbow connect between the exhaust manifold and the exhaust pipe, the manifold does not allow for the natural expansion and contraction of the metal, the new models have a redesigned manifold reengineered not to crack from natural thermal stress. All differential bearings replaced due to growling sound. Motor mount replaced.

The engine manifold on my vehicle is totally cracked, which can result in direct carbon monoxide inhalation and/or possibly a fire. In addition this is a very expensive part and expensive service, which should not go bad.
