Consumer Description

AT SLOW SPEED OR STOPPED THERE IS ETREME HEAT COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE. IT IS SO HOT IT FEELS LIKE MY LEG IS BEING BURNED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WITH A SYSTEM WITHOUT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THIS AT A COST OF CLOSE TO $2,000 ON A VEHICLE ALREADY COSTING $30,000. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *JS
