Default Re: Catalytic Converter problem

I am now on the 3rd cat on my honda insight.

Take your car to a PRIVATE mechanic and have them test the o2 sensors. I bet thats the cause. Read my story on the honda sucks website, i have the pictures of what the readouts of a bad 02 sensor is and what a good 02 senor is

Good luck

My car has had regular service without fail and it even got the computer software update. As I plan on driving this car at least another two years (I still have two years worth of payments to go) am I looking at another CAT replacment at 175,000 miles? The service manager told me he is going to "talk to his rep" when he sees him next week.

F.Y.I. I get between 45 and 50 MPG and am extremely happy with the car other than this CAT "problem".
