Accord Hybrid Hybrid With Navi 3.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 70,000 miles

The check engine light illuminates; we take it to our regular mechanic who does the computer check and tells us that the catalytic converter is failing and that we should take it to the Dealer because it is still under the 80,000 mile warranty for same. Dealer tells us they can't do anything because when the last guy did the computer check it erased the code so the Dealer could not verify our complaint. Dealer's Service Manager tells us to come back the next time the check engine light comes on....which it finally did three weeks later. Junior Service Manager then trys to tell us the warranty expired at 60,000 miles and it would be about $1000 to fix it. We, of course, corrected him and he agreed to go check his computer for the exact warranty period. He comes back and agrees it is covered for 80,000 miles but no catalytic converter for this vehicle is in sight. Will have to order one up from out-of-state. Hopefully we'll get it changed out next week. Owners of this vehicle should be alert to this issue.
