P420 code bad cat. Seems there was a recall for this. Can't remember if I got it done but if so got a raw deal.
The acceleration drops out at any given point in time. It idles rough. The check engine light goes on and off regardless of issues occurring. Pedal to the floor I can't get more than 1400 rpms and about 7 mph. The dealership has had my car several times unable to find an issue and the engine has been replaced since it blew up a year and a half or so ago. Everything I've read seems like the catalytic convertor is failing.
