Monte Carlo SS V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 96,000 miles

Car wouldn't go over 30 mph uphill and bucked when accelerating on the flat. Web surfed discovered a "technical service bulletin. Catalytic converter covered until 100 K but no oxygen sensor replacement or rental coverage and dealer didn't stock took 3 days for part to come in and another to replace it!
