#3 of 5 Re: MY Catalytic Converters only last 1 year! [terceltom] by retiredat44 May 10, 2009 (9:30 am)
Replying to: terceltom (May 10, 2009 8:33 am) How would I know what brand the Cat converter is? Does it say on the cat converter? The shop just puts them on, and it's not a Toyota Dealer, it's an auto repair shop that does all repairs and smog repair and test. I think they cost about $150 for these Cats. If I find out who makes these I will post that comapnies name all over the Frakking Internet and let them know they are selling fraudulent parts. Hmmm.. I wonder if they ar emad ein China? Mexico? or here int he USA?   A regular Joe who gets these Catalytic Converters replaced because of failure every 2 years should not have to flesh out bad brands from good. The companies who make bad cats should be ran out of business. Why would the state allow bad converters to be allowed to be manufactured and put on cars, if they are seeing this trend in Cats going bad after only 1 year of use.   There is no one at all with common sense to notify in our California legislature and the DMV clowns. They can see that if a car has the same repair each time for bad cats, there must be soemthing wrong. But of course, how dumb of me, they just see it as a way of collecting more money and screwing the consumer. They are forcing the car owners to purchase new cats each time, have mor einspections, pay more each time, and pay more fees for the worthless Ca. Smog program. What a total fraud!

Replying to: retiredat44 (May 10, 2009 9:30 am) The state doesn't mind what kind of Cat. you put on because all they care about is that you past the test. The reason cheaper Cats. are made is because if you needed a Toyota Cat. OEM it would cost you $1400.00 So there are quite a few cheaper Cats. out there that are cheap and could get you by the test. Just stay away from the cheaper Cats. that are made in China. If your only paying $150.00 then you ARE getting one of these cheap China made pieces of crap.

Replying to: terceltom (May 10, 2009 3:24 pm) another reason your "cat" is not lasting long is how well your car is running. Do you keep it tuned up? A car that has it fuel/air mixture wrong will eat any "cat" alive in a short amount of time. The last thing is Obama wants us all to love each other so maybe you should write him for a "cat" bale out program.
