| My check engine light was on when i took my 2004 mitsubishi galant to the dealership. i had them run a diagnostic check on it to determine why it would not go off. the service advisor told me that i needed a catalytic converter and that a recall had been issued in 2006 to correct the problem. this was the 1st time i had been made aware that there had been a recall issued. the dealer refused to repair the catalytic converter due to the expiration of the recall. i do not think this is fair treatment. i was never notified that there was a defect. the dealership reflashed the pcm free of charge but would not replace the catalytic converter. i would like the dealership to replace the catalytic converter. *tr | |||
