Consumer Description

CHECK ENGINE HAD BEEN COMING ON AND GOING OFF FOR A FEW WEEKS FINALLY HAS STAYED ON STEADY FOR OVER A WEEK NOW. CALLED MY DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT YESTERDAY AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME TO RESET THE COMPUTER TO SEE IF IT WOULD STAY CLEARED. RESET BEFORE LEAVING WORK GOT ABOUT TWO MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND IT'S BURNING BRIGHT AGAIN. I CALLED THEM AND THEY ASKED ME TO BRING IT IN THE FOLLOWING MORNING. DROPPED IT OFF AND GOT A RIDE TO WORK.
