The Check Engine light came on yesterday as well as the Cruise light blinking. The dealer says the catalytic converter failed. When I Googled the information I found said a catalytic converter should last the life of the vehicle. The dealer says here in AZ we have really poor fuel (high sulphur) which makes the converters fail. What's your experience and advice on this?

The only way to tell for sure is get an exhaust gas analysis or an exhaust backpressure test to rule out the catalytic converter
