Anyone ever deal with a defective oxygen sensor(Denso) from sparkplugs.com?

I've had it about two months exact now, and its gone bad again. In the process of contacting them now, just seems like they have no clue about anything . Just wondering if anyone had a similar experience, Thanks.

What was wrong with it? It started throwing a code? What happened to the previous 02 sensor?

Nope, no problems here.
Ive purchased Denso's from them on several occasions and never once had any issues. Maybe you just got a dud...too bad theyre not too helpful

Sorry, yeah at about 125k on the clock I guess it was the original 02 from the car, threw the code, So I replaced it with the Denso and all was great till last night, CEL went on, check it when I got home, bam 63...so yeah...

Hold on with sparkplugs.com right now...and their on-hold music sucks...

What's the setup? Hopefully your setup isn't killing them. Burning oil/coolant, running rich and running leaded race gas make quick work of O2 sensors.

You say you've had it for 2 months now and its gone bad again - how long did the first one last....2 months as well?

And how many miles = 2 months....its mileage that kills them not sitting parked in a garage.

I'm on stock d16y7, no race gas, just suspension mods...

The first one was the original one I believe...have all paperwork for the car since 96 and no replacement of it so.

BUUUTTTTTTT.....Finally got to me after like 30 mins of being on hold and talking to 4 people, and keep getting transfered up to the big guys I guess, not just the people who answer the phone...

And they are sending out the same part today along with a box to send the defective one back....so in the end.

Your wording makes it seem like you've gone through two O2 sensors from sparkplugs.com - so really, you've only gone through one and now you're on your second.

I've got a stock Y7 too and usually get about 60-70k out of an O2 sensor before I start noticing reduced gas mileage, reduced performance and an idle thats a little shaky. Hopefully this one will do it.

Yeah I guess the again made it seem like two but the first one was original but yeah, hopefully I will be swaping a b-series anyway....
