This has never happened before and the rest of the car is performing 100% as expected. However, the floor in the 2nd row on the passenger side is so hot my daughter who sat there could not put her feet down. Any idea what might be going on??

Sorry - have to ask - is that a serious response or a joke? If serious, my wife is driving it out of town - not sure she will have the guts to look!Cooked cat
Ah - cat - I get it. My wife has the truck on a 3 hour road trip. Is it safe to drive back? How soon does it need to be replaced?Your catalytic converter has burned up. It isn't allowing enough flow and the restriction is causing it to overheat. It needs to be replaced.
Thanks so much! I thought you meant a cat literally crawled up under the truck and was being cooked!Yes, it'll be OK to drive. The check engine light will come on, eventually.
The cats are required by law, and for proper engine management by the ECM (computer). It'll fail emissions if it's cooked. Your gas mileage may suffer, or may not. Depends on how long it's been like that.
Well, that's not an impossibility. But with the weather the way it's been, it's unlikely. They do crawl into the fan shroud with surprising regularity
I will ask - i am not there. I did see that is another thread.Is the rear heater on? Check the controls above the second row.
Is there a major concern driving it 200 miles home?I will ask - i am not there. I did see that is another thread.
Well you won't believer this - turns out the rear AC was on because it was hot on their trip. But my wife didn't realize our 3 year old had turned it to 90! Anyway, I think that was the issue.Is the rear heater on? Check the controls above the second row.
