Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED ON SEPTEMBER 22,2014, AS I WAS DRIVING HOME THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I SPOKE WITH DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY CLEANED THE CAR. IF IT IS STILL ON IN A COUPLE DAYS, BRING CAR IN. WELL I HAD MY MECHANIC LOOK AND HE SAID THERE WAS A BULLETIN OUT ON IT FOR MASS AIR FLOW UPDATE, WHICH IS WHAT THE CODE WAS WHEN HE PUT THE GADGET ON IT. I CALLED BERGER CHEVY AND THEY SAID ITS A CUSTOMER PAY. SHOULDN'T BE IF THIS WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE AIR MASS FLOW IS RUNNING LEAN, BUT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY THIS, SHOULD I? THEY ARE SAYING 98 BUCKS. *TR
