Hev warning light came on when I started my car. I heard a sucking air sound at which time I turned off the car. I then restarted and no warning lights were on. Later that day while driving home the warning light came back on. I pulled the codes and it showed p0105 and p0107. Dealer inspected and found the egr pipe(c) separated from flange causing unmetered air leak. Repairs took from 09/26/18-10/02/18.
