My daughter, now living across the country, is having a problem with her 2003 Ford Escape.
She has problems sometimes starting, sometimes idling. She says it runs fine on the highway. No check engine light.
She took it to a shop.
The shop is telling her all thee catalytic converters are bad.
And they are quoting something close to $3,000 to $3,500 to replace these.
I know this is sparse information. I can't listen or look at it myself.
The "diagnosis" as I understand it was made by the guy at the shop from listening to the vehicle.
Does the symptoms/diagnosis makes sense? And if they are bad, is that really the kind of cost involved.
Thanks in advance.
