Second time we have replaced the front catalytic converter in my wife's 2010 Pilot. Her car only has 103,000 on it. Total BS. $1000 each time down the drain for a car that is fairly new still!

First off, the Bank 1 Bay 1 stuff is confusing. Just say this car has 3 catalytic converters. 1 in the front of the engine, one on the side and one in the rear. After doing investigative work to see which one failed us through the dealer and autozone we determined it was the same one each time.

Something in the vehicle is causing this part to prematurely fail but no one can tell us why. Honda, you know this is an issue with the variable valve engines. Do right by your customers and fix the problem.

Update from Feb 9, 2016: VCM not EFI

I am a fan of Honda,..I am on my 4th Honda and have no intention of switching to a different automobile; however I saw my engine light and I went to Sears auto center to have it checked, I was told that the code is my catalitic converter is bad, but thats strange because this is a 2010 Pilot, there must be a recal on it. I went to AAMCO, the person who did the diagnostic said "this should not happen to a 2010 pilot".....he clared it and said if it comes back, you can bring it back r go to the dealer, because there might be a recal on my pilot. So! why is my 2010 pilot catalitic converter go bad so quick? why? why? why?
