Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor - December 20, 2025 - Hour 2 - The Night Before Christmas (855)560-9900

It’s the last live show of the year on Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor —and Ron explains what’s coming next: a Best-Of show next weekend , then back live New Year’s weekend . Ron also reminds listeners the broadcast becomes a podcast (search Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor on iHeart, Apple, Amazon, Google, and more). Plus, a caller with a 2023 Ford F-150 faces a persistent check engine light tied to a catalytic converter concern —Ron walks through why this should fall under federal emissions warranty coverage , why the dealer’s diagnostic fee may not ultimately come out of the caller’s pocket, and what to do to get the repair properly documented. Then the show rolls on with used-car shopping advice, EVAP and purge-valve talk, and a holiday closer you’ve got to hear.
