Consumer Description

CATALYTIC CONVERTER PLUGGED. MECHANIC ADVISED ME THIS IS A FORD ORDERED RECALL. I HAVE DOCUMANTATION THAT FORD RECALL 97E61 WAS PERFORMED, BUT NOW CONVERTES THEY HAVE REPLACED ARE CLOGGED. FORD TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO PROCEED WITH ANY REPAIRS AND NHTSA ARE THE ONLY BODY TO POST A RECALL. IT IS MY OPINION THAT FORD HAVING TO MEET ITS RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE THIS RIGHT BY RECALL 97E61 SHOULD ALSO REPAIR THE REPAIR THAT DOES NOT WORK. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED I HAVE LESS THAN 50,000 MILES SINCE THEY INSTALLED THE NEW CONVERTERS. *AK
