Consumer Description

I HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT INDICATING A BAD CATALYTIC CONVERTER ON MY 2000 HONDA CIVIC. THE CAT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BY THE DEALER IN MARCH '08 ONLY TO HAVE THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO REPEATED IN JULY '08. NOW I'M FACING THE SAME SITUATION AGAIN. SO IN SUMMARY, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAS NOW BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES IN A 20 MONTH PERIOD. FROM ALL MY RESEARCH THIS IS VERY RARE. MY SUSPICIONS ARE THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM) IS DEFECTIVE AND TRULY THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE THAT THE DEALER HAS PURPOSELY AVOIDED REVEALING THE ECM AS POSSIBLE CAUSE AS IT WOULD BE A COSTLY REPAIR FOR THEM AS THE ECM FALLS UNDER EPA EMISSIONS WARRANTY.. *TR
