seems like a common problem because it is so sensitive. Some people said they had this problem because they didn't put there gas cap on tight enough

Edit: maybe not common, but you aren't the first

Checked that already. Seems to be driving OK but who knows. I guess its time for a checkup.

Mine came on, I had a cracked plug on #3. It certainly explained the choppiness at low RPMs I'd been meaning to take it in about.

Mine did the same thing..... Started fine, went to back out and started running rough.... Shut it down started it again and same thing, CEL on and just missing. Ended up being the coil over, which I figured it was. No big deal. They replaced that and the plug. Only took them a couple of hours to fix.

How can you even mention Lemon??? A Lemon is a vehicle with the same problem multiple times right? Since this is the first time you are reporting this....how can you imagine a lemon already?

Yes! A lemon, at least in California, is a car that has been in for service for the same problem more than three times. A check engine light coming on is hardly in the same category! With that said, I do understand being a little upset though.
