I'm not a tech, nor did I somnambulate at a Holiday Inn last nite...but I associate "slow response" with cat problems, usually...that said, I'm not *sure* where that O2 sensor is---sounds like that one ("Bank 1, Sensor 2") might be upstream of cat, up in the exhaust manifold somewheres...possibly they might have replaced the wrong sensor, initially---tho, OTOH, you look to be showing a problem "post-cat", on the same bank 1...hmmmm...it's an 05, warranty service time!!

Go a bit further than one click, get a coupla three or four...this will better insure your gasket is sealing.

Make them reach, under the warranty. Any info on why vehicle was turned back so early---possible you picked someone else's returned lemon?


Get documentation on each service call you make, just in case this is the situation.
