My 09 RA which just passed over 100,000 miles needs a new catalytic converter. Engine light code is P420. I believe the part is $950 and the labor will be $200. Son of a $*#%!

The think you already got your money back based on the repair covered under extended warranty. Otherwise, it could've been a migraine for you.

Bought her used at 36,000 miles, did complete service at 40,000 and again at 62,000 miles, other than a leaking front engine seal all is well.
Just changed out struts and went RRM grip springs and 63,000 miles currently.

Bought my 09 a year ago with 55K on it, completely stock and one owner. Currently has 65K on it, boost pill and GST pill-map. Did scheduled oil changes per the reminders with full synthetic, SSP steel trans filter gasket and new Ravenol DCT fluid, Dayco steel idler pulley swap (not the Hyundai ones). No leaks or any other issues. Just bought an ETS intercooler and pipes kit, can't wait to put them on!

Hi guys! 2009 ralliart with 80k miles. So far, just a seized pulley at 65k and I had the timing chain replaced at 75k as preventative maintenance. Other than that, running solid! (Knock on wood)
I have an UR TBE, GST basemap V.3 and a boost pill.
