Consumer Description
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
