I claim Deceptive Trade Practices on the part of Fred Fincher Motors. On 09/02/16 I purchased a 2001 Lincoln LS, from Fred Fincher Motors, here in Houston, Texas. Before purchase of the vehicle, I asked if I could take the car to my mechanic and Alberto said, "no, I could have my mechanic come there to Fred Fincher Motors, located at 14700 Tomball Parkway 249, Houston, Texas 77086.” I replied that my mechanic would not be able to come there because he was sensors" or Catalyst System Efficiency below Threshold (Bank 1). He asked me if the battery had been unplugged? Again I said "no". Chase of Firestone stated the P1000 code meaning is OBD II Monitor Testing Not Complete. That both catalytic converters and the 02 Oxygen Sensors were gone bad on the car. The second code P1000 means the battery or power train control module had recently been disconnected. The P1000 code meant that the Battery or Powertrain Control Module (PCM) had recently been disconnected. - An OBD monitor failure occurred before completion of an OBD drive cycle. - PCM Detected Trouble Codes (DTC) have recently been cleared with a scan tool. Now I ask how could this same car pass a state inspection less than 30 days ? Also, why were these issues not coming up prior to my purchase of the vehicle. Since purchase of this car, I have driven this car 500 miles since the Texas State Inspection. I did not see this car get inspected so I cannot vouch how in the world it passed unless there was a paid inspection tech to look the other way and pass this vehicle. I did my research on the OBD II testing and found that is system is so sophisticated; it can detect malfunctioning components and systems before more failures that are serious occur and even before the driver of the vehicle becomes aware of a problem. The OBD II reader/printout enables a vehicle owner to make cost effective repairs before more costly damage is done to the vehicle.
According to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (EPA) have received reports concerning over-temperature problems or fire hazards from catalytic converters. Catalysts reduce emissions by accelerating the combustion of pollutants leaving the engine. In doing this job, they get hot. The outside metal temperatures of some types of converters may approach 800 to 1000 F under conditions of extremely high engine loading. However, measurements by the United States Forest Service have shown surface temperatures equally as high in the exhaust systems of pre-1975 cars at extreme engine load conditions. Therefore, with this discovery, catalytic converter surface temperatures do not represent a new type of problem for automobile manufacturers and users as long as the engine is running properly.
However, if there is a partial ignition system failure, such as one or more misfiring spark plug or defective ignition wires, the temperatures of the catalytic converter surfaces and the exhaust system downstream from the converter may reach 1200 to 1400 F. This is because of the abnormal amount of unburned fuel delivered by the nonfiring cylinders. Further, once hot, the converter will take longer to cool off than other parts of the exhaust system because of its greater mass. This points out the need for careful attention to vehicle maintenance and alertness by vehicle owners to any signs of abnormal engine operation.
This morning I had to ask myself how do I obtain proof that this car was able to pass the safety inspection in the first place? I began to research for what rights as a consumer do I have and how does the safety of this vehicle pan out. After much research I found on the Texas Department of Public Safety how to obtain a safety inspection of said car. I took this safety inspection back to my mechanic as asked him to please explain to me “How less than thirty days ago this car passed a State of Texas safety inspection? This car presents a serious safety hazard that is a life-threatening malfunction that substantially impedes my ability to control or operate the vehicle normally or one that creates a substantial risk of fire or explosion. Gary and Chase could only come up with one ideal. It didn’t! We laughed that the car would have to have something terribly wrong with the front end for the tires to be in the condition they were. The P1000 code tell them that the cycle was never finished because of the battery being unplugged or my car was not the one inspected in truth. Somewhere in this picture there has to be fraud. With all the new technology we have at our fingertips today there is no way the OBD II would not have found this issue. Yet, according to the vehicle inspection history that I pulled it showed the tires – passed, exhust – passed and emissions system – passed. Was this really my car that passed the state inspection given by Metro Transmission and Auto, located on 14743 Tx-249, Houston, Texas 77086.
