My check engine light has been on for the last 3 years. I have taken it back several times to the dealership. The light goes off for several days then returns. Also I my air bag light is on. The dealership claimed it was the seat belt. They replaced that, got home the light came on again. I replaced the ignition coil for a cost of $800+ and again my bug is having all the same above problems Its a lemon!!!!!

The check engine light remains on all the time. I am looking for a solution to this problem. The light has been on since I purchased the car, and it runs fine. However, I can not get it smogged due to this problem. Where/how do I get help with this problem without it costing a fotune to fix?

My engine light came on, it seemed like my car was running slower than usual. They replaced the sensor and then maybe a week later my light came on again for another issue.
