Today, after fighting with honda for weeks, decided to foot the 2400+ dollar bill and put on a New Catalytic converter and 2 new o2 sensors because im getting...
Stephen, I would be really PO'd, and insist Honda reimburse for excess expenses and for them to find out what the real cause is. There is no excuse for needing...
Ted/Stephen I had to replace my Catalytic Converter only because I got "BAD" gas. there was water in the gas. I was unable to collect from the station. My...
