I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM BUT IM ON MY 3RD CATALYTIC CONVERTER FOR THIS CAR - I TOOK MY MC TO MY MECHANIC THINKING IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND HE SAID IT WAS THE CAT - HE DIDNT KNOW IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND WENT AND REPLACED IT - AT ABOUT 130K MILES I HAD TO REPLACE THAT ONE - NOW AT 195K MILES I HAVE TO REPLACE IT AGAIN - UGH!!!! I SHOULD OF DONE IT AT THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME - TOTAL SO FAR ON CATALYTICS FOR THIS CAR IS ABOUT $2400.00 SPENT -
6 MONTHS LATER WAS STOPPED UP AGAIN. THE GUY AT THE SHOP COULDNT BELIEVE IT. THE JUST TOOK THE STUPID THING OFF COMPLETELY I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS SINCE
Car wouldn't go over 30 mph uphill and bucked when accelerating on the flat. Web surfed discovered a "technical service bulletin. Catalytic converter covered until 100 K but no oxygen sensor replacement or rental coverage and dealer didn't stock took 3 days for part to come in and another to replace it!
