1 Engine Exhaust System problem

Failure Date: 01/10/2011

I purchesed an Mazda Mpv in 2007 from a chev delership who said it was in good working condition. It was a 2000 model. As soon as winter came the O2 sensor on the rear bank went out. Paid $400. 00 to the dealership to replace. It lasted only a short time. The dealsrship told me it should last 100. 000 miles, so they replaced it and only charged me another $400. 00. To date I have had the O2 sensor replaced a total of four times. The last two times it was at a Mazda dealership. They also told me it should last 100. 000 miles. But every time it get's below 40 deg f, it fails, or at least the warning light comes on. I have spent a total of $1,200. 00 in replaceing the sensor. I keep doing it because my wife uses it to drive our granddaughter to dance class and I don't want them to get stranded on the road way. I have allready lost my aunt's daughter to a road side killer and don't want it to happen once more.
