“I acquired a 1996 Plymouth Breeze in march of 2002. The day after I got the car, the "check engine" light came on. Since then, the light has come one a total of 4 times. Each time it has been fixed or looked at, the o2 sensor was the cause of the problem. On halloween 2002, I took my car in to get a routine oil change and to find out the cause of a ticking sound. The auto center (that was doing my oil change) said it was a rod bearing, but when I took the car to the dealership, they said that it was a flywheel. …”
