98 Accord catalytic converter failed
Hi,
When I drove to work a couple of days ago, my 98 Accord's check engine light came up for the first time. I didn't feel anything different while I was driving, but I didn't want to take any chances and drove to Honda dealer right away. After they diagnosed it, they concluded that the catalytic converter has failed. My car had about 81K miles on it but they said they would put in "Good Will" and fix it for free. So I was lucky. The service rep told me the repair cost would otherwise be $1200+. I would like to know whether this is typical for a catalytic converter to fail at this stage. My brother-in-law's 94 Accord has 140K miles on it and the check engine light has never came up once. Has the Honda quality really gone down? Thanks, Eugene |

Same here... but the dealership told me to *not* change it because it was
too costly! (ps.: the price was even only quoted in japenese Yens!) anyway, to make a long story short, I had a major tune-up done.
