Consumer Description

AS SOON AS I STARTED THE CAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON STATING THAT THE ENGINE'S EMISSION IS BEING REDUCED TO WHERE YOU CAN FEEL THAT THE SPEED OF THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN, BUT THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF A LITTLE WHILE LATER. THIS HAPPENED ON THIS PAST SUNDAY, NOW IT COMES ON AGAIN TWO DAYS LATER. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR ABOUT THE PAST YEAR AND THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR. ITS LIKE EVERY 2-3 MONTHS THIS ISSUE OCCURS.
