A periodic problem with this vehicle is failure of the Catalytic Converter on gasoline engines. This will result in reduced engine performance and poor mileage. Some exhaust systems are equipped with 2 Catalytic Converters. Catalytic converters are covered under warranty for the first 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever comes first, regardless of vehicle ownership. The cost to repair the Catalytic Converter is $465.00 and $130.00 for labor. These prices are estimates based on $65.00 per flat rate hour and do not include diagnostic time or any applicable sales tax. |
