The check engine light has given me a problem about 3 months after I purchased it used in 2011. Since then I have had the muffler fixed twice just recently March 22,2016 cost was $422 and prior in 2014. . The check engine light just keeps coming on ,and the vehicle inspection is failing because of emissions. I am fearful that odorless gasses are seeping into the car which is a hazard to myself and passangers.
