Engine light appeared on the dash and I immediately noticed that the car was hesitating and felt as it was losing power while accelerating. I then took it into an auto repair shop and was informed that my catalytic converter needed to be replaced and was over $800 in repairs. While researching online, I came across a recall for the same exact issue on the 2011-2016 series of the dodge journeys.

During use of the vehicle, whether stationary or in motion, the "gas cap light" will come on followed by "check engine light". When this happens the code p0456 will cause the car to act indifferent, it is still drivable, but can cause other components to show a false reading.
