2008 Aspen o2 sensors
My wife's car has had intermittent dash lights come on advising her to put on the seat belt even though it was on, that was repaired and it came on again, a light for o2 sensor, replaced that as well 2 days ago and it came back on again today. they told her that the other sensor went bad and there are other codes being shown that they have to work on. She had to leave to car with them, no loaner cars to give her either. The thing that pisses me off is it just came out of warranty last month and I think the whole damn thing is a crock of .... Does she have any other recourse. I am searching the net for this kind of issue but coming into dead ends. Any help is appreciated.

It's really hard to help given that description. Did your repair paperwork show any codes (PXXXX)? If not, go to an autoparts store, have them read the codes for free, and let us know what they are. From there we can give you possibilities. General notes, though:
1. O2 sensors do go bad. Usually your mileage would suffer a bit, so you may have noticed same.
2. If you're having the dealer work on the car out of warranty, consider using a privately-owned shop. The dealer is seeing $$$ every time you drive in with a vehicle out of warranty. I bet they're charging you $100 just to plug the code reader in.
3. O2 sensors are easily replaced with the correct tool, and you can buy the sensors cheap from rockauto and other sites.
I hope this helps.
