2003 Ford Escape Limited Catalytic Converter Failure
Has anyone had a failure of their Catalytic Converter. My dealer suspects the loss of power due to a clogged Catalytic Converter. Anyone else had this problem or know if this will cause a lack of power on steep hills or rapid acceleration?
Thank you. |

Re: 2003 Ford Escape Limited Catalytic Converter Failure
How many miles?
Unlikely...mine (Tribute) has 71,000 and no problem with cat. Is it downshifting? |

I wouldn't say that this is common, but I have seen this occur with four different cars, all different makes.

Re: 2003 Ford Escape Limited Catalytic Converter Failure
same here.... on Jeeps and other brands, but not the Ford escape or Mazda tribute (yet).
How high does it rev in a gear that is not overdrive? |

Yes, It was a catalytic converter failure. It was replaced under warranty by dealer.

Re: 2003 Ford Escape Limited Catalytic Converter Failure
I had both Cats(front and firewall side) blocked. I had to replace both on a 2002 Escape 3.0
