Hello Nissan Enthusiasts,
I searched for my problem and found a number of threads regarding the P0420 but not the specific problem I have had. I need some advice as to what to do.
I bought a 2001 Nissan Maxima SE 5spd with 33K in november. it was precertified and i also got an extended warranty to cover everything else. In december, my "service engine soon" light came on. I took it to the dealer and the P0420 code came up; they said my computer just needed to be reprogrammed. Well about the first week of Feb. the light came back on again! Same code and now they are telling me my fronttube assembly is leaky and needs to be replaced. its $717 for thr part and 200 for the labor. My car has 38K miles on it and it wont be covered under warranty. my question is, shouldnt this be covered under the federal emissions warranty, because from my understanding, it connects the header to the cat. if not, could i get a custom exhaust for cheaper? let me know, because i am strapped for cash and $900 seems like a lot for a metal tube
