Oxygen Sensor On Dodge Durango

macdad · 2005-09-14T17:54:34+00:00

I have a 2000 Dodge Durango that is getting about 7 MPG. The checkengine light is on. When I check the code it is 0171. I have had itat the local Dodge dealer on and off for the past 9 months. They havedone the following:Replaced both oxygen sensors 3 times..Replaced the Cat Converter 2 times..Check all the electrical wiringCheck the fuel flowReplaced the spark plugsEtc....It has a 4.7L engine with 150k miles. After spending about $2,000dollars the dealer said they couldn't figure out what was wrong, justkeep driving it until it dies......Before the problem started I was getting about 16 MPG.They have hooked the computer up to it and keep telling me thateverything is ok, but the check engine lite will come on with 50 milesafter leaving the shop.Has anyone seen a similar problem? Any ideas what I can do totroubleshoot the problem other than keep driving it until it dies?

So, the Minnie Mouse voiced approach. That should garner quite a bit of attention. It may not help with the whole "I want my car fixed" thing, but you will get noticed.
