Check engine warning light appeared on dashboard. When servicing the vehicle at dealership, they found catalytic converter not burning up exhaust gases properly. Need to replace y-pipe, part #86781749. I found NHTSA document N232419720 - Emission Recall Incorrect Catalytic Converter Service Part, that references my car make and model. I am requesting an investigation to have this included in a recall and to have replacement costs reimbursed.

at some point, we noticed that every time we crank it up, the engine would sounding weird, like it was low on engine oil, we checked the engine oil, and it was no less then 2 quarts low, that was realy weird, because we change the oil as needed and we definitly make sure that we add the amount recomended by GM, also this past weekend, it was rainy, we were out doing some shopping and on the way back home the windshield wipers stoped working, we could not take the vehicle out for the rest of the weekend until it stopped raining.
