Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: P0420 code - check engine light is on - catalyst efficiency below threshold - bank 1 nly 6 years old and 95,000 miles. from what i have read on many sites, this is a systematic problem with this model car and people can't afford $1100 to get the catalytic converter replaced and therfore continue to drive the car with the check engine light on, while polluting the environment and possibly overlooking other failures that may be more safety critical because of the light always being on.*ak
