Consumer Description

ENGINE IDLES ROUGHLY. I HAVE ONLY USED PREMIUM GAS DURING FILLUPS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S BECAUSE I'M NOT USING TOP TIER GAS, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. HOW CAN AN ENGINE'S FUEL SYSTEM BE THAT SENSITIVE BECAUSE ONE GAS IS MISSING SOME DETERGENTS PER COUNT IN COMPARISON. MY ECM NEEDS TO BE REPROGRAMMED TO COMPENSATE FOR THIS. IT SEEMED TO START SHAKING AFTER I GOT IT BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT CORRECTED A RECALL PROBLEM THAT DEALT WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. HOW DO YOU PUSH AN IGNORANT MANAGER TO TAKE CARE OF THIS INSTEAD OF BLAMING IT ON THE GAS?
