| Description of the problem | Catalytic converter failure many nissan titans are experiencing premature catalytic converter failure. Some failures are causing the engine to seize, as particles of the core of sucked up into the engine. This has caused failures while driving, and as of yet has not caused any crashes or fires. I believe it is an issue that needs to be addressed. There are are large number of failures before 80,000 miles, and a large number of failures right after 80,000 miles which leaves it up to the consumer to pay $1700+ to have the repair done. Nissan is saying it's not an issue, but internet reports of the failures would say otherwise. Please look into this issue. Thanks *tt |
