1 Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe problem

Failure Date: 02/14/2019

Exhaust manifold cracking on Toyota v8 4. 7 engine allowing exhaust fumes into the cabin and causing dizziness. When doing my research ive seen pages and pages of this issue known to Toyota about the 4. 7 engine that is used in a number of there models from Lexus to the tundra pick lines and anything that uses the 4. 7 engine. This is deadly being in the midwest and you have your windows up and heat on in the winter or summer with ac on. Thank you for your time.

2 Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe problem

Failure Date: 05/31/2018

Whenever I accelerate on the uphill or high accelerate then odor became really horrible, harsh smell, smell like tnt firework, either matches then egg rotten. I suspect the exhaust system seem faulty. I went multiple auto shop they mention it could be related to exhaust manifold but when I described that the odor came out from outside not interior air vent then they started to re-check my exhaust and said I am all good to drive as well, its "ok". The odor is frustrating, annoying. And the steering, I don't know how did my cv axle is leaking, I hopefully it will not break out when I'm driving to other state.
