I was told that the PCM, bank 1 sensor 2 oxygen sensors were replaced and that all codes were cleared and that the repair was verified. …”

The warning bell that sounds while the key is in ignition would go off and messages would flash across the radio and the information on the dash would scroll with out you scrolling them. …”
