Exhaust manifold cracked in several places with only 56k on jeep. Dealer says there was no special warranty for this part, but was plenty aware of the high incidence of failure with this part.

This part should be recalled, dangerous fumes from this obviously defective part could leak into cabin of jeep, possibly knocking out the driver.

I have read about several people having the same problem with their manifolds cracking several times on jeep wranglers. I think they need to be recalled and replaced with the new manifolds that jeep installed on the 2000 model.
Hole in exhaust manifold, annoying ticking noise when driving.
There is a hesitation in the engine whenever it reaches 2000rpm, under a load. I have had the power steering pump switch wiring harness replaced, and I have had the throttle body cleaned. The hesitation has not gone away. The dealer states that no "codes" come up on the diagnostic machine they use, so they don't know what's wrong. I am bringing it in this week for the third time.
Beginning in 4-99, we have had numerous things go wrong with our new vehicle. First the "check engine" light came on, AC/heater quit/ manfold/exhaust leak/ now all the gauges have gone crazy on the dash & I just got it out of the shop on 1/17/2000, for the very same thing.
