Consumer Description

Timing belt/chain failure - Recalled and repaired by dealership. When picking up my vehicle from the dealer for the above mentioned repair I was notified that I need new Catalytic Converter's as now the Service Engine light was coming on. The Service Engine light was NOT coming on prior. After an hour or two researching the CAT issue online I have found hundreds if not more instances with the same issue for this vehicle. A bad CAT can cause numerous issues with vehicle performance to vehicle fires which could cause accidents putting not only passengers but other motorists at risk. And then there's the damage to the environment. If the timing belt warranted a recall for causing misfires...etc. why wouldn't the manufacturer include parts of the system effected by the part being recalled? Timing Belt causes misfires --> Misfires cause CAT damage/failure, but CAT not included in the recall.
