Catalytic converter plugged. Mechanic advised me this is a Ford ordered recall. I have documantation that Ford recall 97E61 was performed, but now convertes they have replaced are clogged. Ford told me that they were not allowed to proceed with any repairs and NHTSA are the only body to post a recall. It is my opinion that Ford having to meet its responsibility to make this right by recall 97E61 should also repair the repair that does not work. This should not have happened I have less than 50,000 miles since they installed the new converters.

On Apr 8 1999 I took my car to amherst motors Inc because I was having a problem. I was informed there was a recall ont he catalytic converter, which the Ford company failed to inform me about. When questioned, they responded that they could not locate me. Now they are saying I need a new engine because the dpfe(revised delta pressure feedback)volta failed. They did not tell me this when they released my car Apr 15 1999. I asked to have the seatbelt fixed. They told me they would charge me over $100. There is a recall #95S31 for that seatbelt
