@ 74560 miles check engine light came on was told it was the catalytic converter. Took it dealership but could not fix problem two weeks and due to being away from home on vacation could not wait around. Took to dealer immediately after getting home but was told it was over mileage for recall. Since I had to pay full price took it too local repair shop for repairs. The check engine light came back on after @ 5000 miles dealership blamed outside mechanic who said nothing was wrong with converter. The transmission was leaking the whole time but the dealership never told me about a recall. Now it is over 140000 the transmission is totally shot even after I have kept refilling it to make sure the fluid stayed at proper levels and I have to either have to repair it myself or trade it in. The dealer new there was a problem but never informed me when I was in there.
The transmission leaked fluid excessively. The dealer diagnosed the transmission needed to be replaced.
