Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: It's been four months since my last check engine light came on. on 05/10/04, my check engine light came on again. this is the forth time since 10/06/03. i took it back to the dealer and the service person, dale, told me it could be numerous things (e-val, transmission, computer or shift solenoids). wow! did someone say transmission? but he told me that in order for them to be completely sure, i would have to leave my car for approximately 5 hours to run the "thorough" test and they would charge me approximately $70. so, when they replaced my catalytic converter four months ago (and didn't do the 5 hour test), were they completely sure it was the catalytic converter? upset about this new discovery, i told them i just spent over $800 four months ago on something that they "thought" was wrong and now they are going to charge me to look at the same problem again. dale later came back to me and said that they would reset the light today and if it happened again to come back right away and they would be able to "narrow it down." *ak
