Roughly one month after the recall I experienced a check engine light. Brought it in and the dealer told me it was nothing to be alarmed about, cleared the code and sent me on my way. As the car was behaving normally I accepted this.

Roughly one month later the engine light came back accompanied by a rough idle. Took the car back and they charged me $500 to replace the fuel / air sensor. Car worked fine besides an issue the very next morning where I experienced a lack of throttle while trying to accelerate out of a corner. No other issues so I dismissed it.

Now, one month later, the rough idle is back and my check engine light popped on about an hour ago.

It’s at this point I decide to google and see if anyone else is having problems and.... oh good god what have I done.

So, before I start digging into this thread does anyone care to just give me the cliff notes version of this? How fucked am I? I have an appointment tomorrow morning with the dealer and I’m anxious as hell.

First off, welcome to our forum -

Second off, what do you do with all your free time - not being on forums?

Next off, what code is giving the CEL? You can read it yourself or ask the local auto parts shop to read it for you.

Without knowing the trouble code, we have no way to determine it's seriousness.

As far as your car, if it's still running - that's a good sign. -
