problem #4

May 082011

Rio SX

  • Manual transmission
  • 55,000 miles

New engine code light. Code TBD. Will update later. However, just fixed bad ignition coil about a month ago. Just had oil changed by the dealership. I'm hoping the oil change is related and they messed up something easy.

Rio LX

  • Automatic transmission
  • 28,000 miles

The check engine light has come on at random times since I have owned the car, but there is no reason why. At the dealership they say that it's a random misfire and there is not a problem, but try to sell you other services that cost a lot of money while you're there.
