The catalytic converter was recalled and replaced in November of 2017, but now the exhaust manifold is rusted from the inside which caused bits to break off and fall into the new catalytic converter. Now the exhaust manifold needs to be replaced (there are only 4 parts in the nation for this??) and the new, less than a year old, catalytic converter has to be cleaned out of all the rusty metal bits. There is a rattling noise in the engine when idle (rpms jump up and down slightly in idle), quiets a bit once you hit 2-3K rpms and then is loud again around 1-2K rpms. The exhaust manifold is nearly a thousand dollars to replace! I don't live near the ocean or a place where it snows frequently. My 5 year old car shouldn't have rust in the exhaust manifold especially considering the other recall just last year. Service engine soon light has been on for weeks since the problem started. They told me it's out of my warranty because my car is at 75K miles.

When I started the car in park, and especially when I pushed the gas pedal, there was a noise in the engine that keep up while driving and when in park while the engine was running. The sound was like when a car has low oil in the steering wheel but I asked a neighbor and he says these cars don't use oil for the steering wheel that the noise was most likely the alternator. And it has being getting louder. I am afraid that the car may break down. Also in the first month of buying the car I noticed the front train seemed loose but I was told nothing was wrong. Is there any recall for this?. also I looked up the recalls for my model and year of car and of all the ones that show up I have received only one recall and it was for a torch in the seat belt for front passenger side I have not received any of the others. I want to make sure that I have not been passed up in these recalls since 2013 to this date Jan 2015 and that it be too late to request the repairs.
