Consumer Description

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALER FOR THE CARBON BUILDUP RECALL IN THE MOTOR. THEY REBUILT PARTS OF THE INTERNAL MOTOR. AFTER THEY REBUILT THE MOTOR FOR CARBON BUILD UP, MY ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO LIGHT UP FOR BAD CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I TOLD THEM THAT THE LIGHT NEVER SHOWED UP BEFORE AND COULD'VE WENT BAD FROM ALL OF THE MILES OF CARBON BUILD UP THAT DAMAGED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THEY COULDN'T REPAIR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD.
