Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW IN JULY OF 2003 WITH LESS THAN 14 MILES ON IT. I HAVE MAINTAINED MY CAR MYSELF (WHEN I CAN) SINCE A NAPA REPAIR SHOP PUT THE WRONG TRANSMISSION FLUID IN IT AND COMPLETELY RUINED MY TRANNY. I CHANGE MY OIL REGULARLY AND KEEP UP TO DATE WITH OTHER SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. I NOW HAVE APPROXIMATELY 144K MILES ON MY CAR AND I HAVE A OBD CODE OF P0420. IN ADDITION TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, MY BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN AFTER RELEASING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. ONE THING I HAVE NOTICE IS THAT I HAVE TO ADD OIL EVERY SO OFTEN BECAUSE IT GOES LOW. I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE THE CAR IS APPROACHING 9 YEARS, BUT NOW WITH THE OBD CODE, I KNOW THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH ONE OR BOTH OF THE FRONT CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. PLEASE CORRECT THESE ISSUES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED. *TR
