In November it developed a rough idle and eventually threw a code (don't remember the code), but the misfire was in cylinder 4. It wouldn't let me turn off tc or use my cruise. I took it to the dealership and they've had it since Nov. 18th. They said the injector was bad, it was replaced after waiting on parts and no resolution. They now say its a broken valve spring. Has anybody else heard of this on the newer cars? Should i consider getting rid of the car, i like it but i don't want to have issues every 18k miles.
PS I went to another dealership first and they said the valves needed adjusted and needed a re-tune. There was only one master tech there. He said it would take him a few months and he recommended a different dealer.

So.. is the dealer fixing it? Should be warranty unless they have evidence of abuse (overrev, etc).
