Was Vehicle Towed: -	Description of the Complaints: From the time i bought the car the gas mileage was grossly low so everytime i took it in for scheduled service i would have them check out the fuel system nothing was ever done and the gas mileage has never gotten better now i have approx. 42,000mi on the vehicle and still horrible gas mileage and no power ii thought it was catalytic converter which is covered under the fed emmissions warranty but when i took it to the dealer they said it was the oxygen sensors which are connected to the catalytic converter i have done some research on these o2 sensors and everything i have read leads me to believe that they were faulty from time of purchase!*ak
