| 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. the car was repaired and 2 days after i pick up the car, the "check engine" light comes on for the 4th time. i am taking the car to the dealership and praying that this is the last time i will have to make any repairs for the same thing!!! | |||
