CATS REPLACED FROM FORD ??
Heard that faulty converters are replaced up to 120,000 miles on the 3 valve 5.4. Just wondering if there is any truth to this.
If so has anyone had their cats replaced under this coverage ?
Thanks

My fiancé just had this done on her 2008 Pontiac G6 V6. Car wouldnt go when you stepped on it, it kept throwing traction control lights when doing so. Took to dealer and the diagnosed clogged cats, 119,347.8 at time of problem and GM installed new header, header studs, gaskets, all four oxygen sensors, brand new y-pipe with cats and new mid pipe ALL FREE UNDER FEDERAL WARRANTY

Sounds good guys and thanks a lot. I was going to buy new cats and weld them on myself, but if ford and the Feds are going to foot the bill, sounds like a way better deal. Scheduled an appointment for this Friday.
Thanks again.

I wrote to Ford's customer relationship center the other day to see about the converter issue and this is what was sent to my e-mail.
I have 110,440 miles on my truck and it is a 2009.
