Eduard76 Posted February 20, 2020 at 01:53 PM Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 at 01:53 PM Hello, at 90000 mile, i had check engine came on.Bring it to 3 garage( 2 dealers Ford and a garage), code P0420. I decided to take no action, the cost to change the catalytic converter its around 1500$, no covered by the warany. The error code came on and of and is having no time schedule. For example this summer went off .With the cold seasons he came on , and is stays on few days , after that is off for a week , and so on. The report from dealers says that the code P0420 is the problem.So to solve the problem i have to change catalytic converter. Now the car has 101.000 miles and no warranty.Did anyone had this issue? What should i do?Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanbam Posted February 23, 2020 at 01:16 AM Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 at 01:16 AM Either replace it, or don’t. The car will run without a working catalytic converter, but the car will likely be emitting more pollution than it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsamp Posted February 23, 2020 at 11:14 PM Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 at 11:14 PM It's not like a catalytic converter is a special part that can only be replaced by an EV certified mechanic. I would think a muffler shop can replace the catalytic converter for a lot less than the dealer. Might want to give that a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
