Description of the problem | I was driving and everything seemed fine. I parked and turned off the vehicle to pick up my kid from daycare and as i was driving back home the vehicle started to stall and run high rpms. I was going about 20mph but was at 4,000 rpms. I was able to make it home and parked the car and called the dealership to have it looked at. After checking the car they found it had a bad catalytic converter and faulty battery. The converter was covered on warranty thankfully but ended up paying $600 for a battery and labor. Vehicle was purchased from the dealership with one previous owner and approximately 40k miles on it. |
