| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On sunday, august 7, 2005, my check engine light came on. i referred to the owner's manual and followed the instructions as written. that did not resolve the problem so i took my car to a local honda repair shop for a diagnostic test. they indicated that the catalytic converter failed and they quoted me $1100 to complete the repairs. i do not have this kind of money laying around. i also noticed that there are 8 complaints on this website regarding this same issue with the catalytic converter. how many complaints does it take before a recall is issued? not only will i have to continue driving with this problem because i can't afford to fix it, but i will be polluting the environment at the same time. i guess i need to file a complaint with the epa as well. please do something to address this problem as soon as possible. *nm |
