Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: At 51,000 miles i had the catalytic converter replaced on my audi under warranty due to a broken pipe flange. i now have 102,000 on the audi and the same part is broken. audi usa will not replace or repair this part. i feel it must be a defect in the workmanship or materials since a catalytic converter should not be replaced until it is worn out and not before then. this is part of the emissions system and the epa should also know about this. *jb
