2001 Ford Focus Owner Comments

I have a 2001 Ford Focus and there is an exhaust tube that runs off the right side (looking from the front) of the manifold which broke from rusting. I searched some forums online and found that many other people are having the same problem. My car only has 60000 miles on it so I don't believe it should of rusted and cracked like it did.

The consumer noticed that the vehicle jerked, stalled, and vibrated. The vehicle also made a loud noise while driving. The dealership serviced the vehicle and indicated that the manifold needed to be replaced. Please provide any additional information.
