Constanly beibg replaced on my escape, my mechanic said the catalytic convertor is going to fail, it's just a matter of when. Can anything be bought to unclog the convertor so that I will know if I really need new ones? And can I buy the part at autozone, or have to go through Ford?
SOURCE: is it true that ford escape's catalytic converter
no a dealer is not the only place that replaces these; you can do it yourself and there should be 2 of them. most of them are replaced with aftermarket ones. go to a muffler shop and they will replace them for you and you can check at an Autozone or Napa for the catalytic converters

3 front coils? Ignition coils? If the engine had a miss for a long time the excess fuel can ruin a catalytic converter.

if it's a 2005 it should have a 100,00 warrenty on it and if it's under warrenty take it to a different shop, anything could casue this including a plugged fuel filter or fuel pump going out. You need to know which it is. To get the information for recall items you can get the dealer to tell you or you can go to libary and look up consumers buying guid and see if they have it there otherwise you have to go to www.alldatadiy.com and purchase a subscrption for this car. Then look at campains or recalls interst to consumer and interst to mechanic if there is a bullitin describing your condtion it will give the bullitin item number and the date of issue. Hope this helps.

you can do it yourself it will only cost the price of the catalytic converters, first i would disconnect them and visually inspect them if you see that they look like a honey comb with no obstruction of the holes than they are fine but if you see black residue or even some melting of the material than i would replace them. hope this helps you.
