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!!!!!

Check engine light came on right at 900010 miles seems sort of strange to me!

My check engine light comes back on within a day and usually on my way home from the mechanic. Farthest I've gone [after "fixing" the problem] was 73 miles. Last repair the check engine light came back on after only 23 miles. No codes, no emission problems - just a quirky car! The light first appeared around 40K miles and went on and off for the next 20K. I'm up to 114K miles and it's on all the time now.... I know there is nothing wrong with the car. My mechanic knows there is nothing wrong with the car. Now all we have to do is convince the Ohio E-Check savants........LOL

Mine continues to throw a code, reading about it on the internet seems to show that this a software problem that changing sensors does NOT fix. I've been driving mine now over 40,000 miles with code 2151 ( I believe) throwing every few days...
