1998 Acura TL Engine problems

1998 Acura tl. Consumer writes in regards to defective or cracked exhaust manifold and seeks goodwill assistance. *Smd the consumer stated the check engine code indicated a faulty oxygen sensor and there were exhaust fumes entering the vehicle.

My 1998 acura 2.5 Tl has had noticeable exhaust leak into the passenger compartment from about 100,000 miles point, since january 2008l about one year ago. All the outside smells come right in even though I always have vents and air cond or heater set to "inside air only" setting. Along with exhaust I smell the catalytic converter odor, refinery odor when I drive past refinery, skunk smell when I drive over even a spot where a skunk was removed a few days ago, etc and also the check engine light came on a year...

I own an acura 2.5 Tl model year 1998. I was informed by dealer last year that there was an exhaust manifold leak in the engine. The dealer quoted $2000 to fix the problem. I have not had it fixed so far, but I fear that the exhaust fumes were infiltrating the cabin, and we were breathing exhaust fumes when in the car. Upon further investigation I found that this problem was also reported widely in earlier model years. *Ak

Auto technician has determined that 1998 acura 2.5 Tl has a cracked manifold. Same vehicle from 1995-97 has been mandated by nhtsa to have this repaired by manufacturer. I would like my vehicle year to be included in this mandate.

Part b to odi# 10106272 forgot to note that exhaust comes into the vehicle from the fresh air intake and gives me headaches on long trips. *Nm

Exhaust system on my 1998 acura 2.5 Tl has a crack in the exhaust manifold. I've been told the manufacturer replaced this on the 96 & 97 tl's but will not for the 1998. I understand from research there were no changes to the body style or engine between the 96 -98 so why won't they cover the 98? *Nm

Engine manifold developed a crack. As a result, vehicle produced an extreme loud noise. *Ak manifold replaced. Trunk leaks when it rains. *Tc

Exhaust system on the 1998 acura 2.5 Tl. I have had to have the o2 sensor replaced and now as told the exhaust manifold is cracked. I was aldo told by the dealer that there have been a number of cases were the manifold cracked. If this is a problem that you see repeated in a particular vehicle is it not fairly safe to say there is a problem from the manufacture? What can be done to save consumers the expense of about $1200.00 To repair what seems obvious to be a manufacturer defect with the exhaust system?*Ak
