Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On 1/31/07 i took my car to have the nc inspection done. i was given at that time a recall for my vehicle on the catalytic converter. i was told to call the dealership and give them my vin number to verify. i was told that there were no open campaigns on my vin number on 2/2/0. on 2/16/07 my engine light came on and would not go off. i called my repair shop and dropped the car off on monday. i was informed today that it was not the o2 sensor, but possibly the catalytic converter causing this problem. it sounds like this is going to cost alot of money. i love my car, but if this was a recall i don't feel that i should have to pay for it to be fixed. *nm
