Is the "lemon law" light on in the dashboard? lol
3cats in 17k miles!!!!!! Something is very, very wrong. Have you considered letting Ford buy the car back? I am curious what Ford is doing about this.

So far Ford is repairing the problem since it is under warranty. The insist it is caused by Chevron gas. Well after the fist replacement of the cat converter I did not sue Chevron and it happened again, 1,500 miles later.
I have also had transmission problems, several gear changes and a right trans axle replace.
