Dealership calls me today and says that they "cleared the CEL codes" and now everything looks like it's running great!... I asked them what they did to fix it and they said nothing, they just removed the codes and now it seems to be running properly. I called SoA and my rep there contacted my dealership and instructed them to keep the car and look further into the issue. I have a bad feeling about this... the dealership wanted to simply ignore the codes and let me go on my way....
Don't accept it back without a reflash. I tried resetting my CEL a couple of times on my own and it ALWAYS came back within a few days. Your dealership is not taking the issue seriously enough, and you'll just end up bringing your car back in again. It really annoys me when dealerships don't respect customers' time or investigate the problem thoroughly on their own.
