My engine light came on in my 2013 Limited (32k miles). The first time I took it in, they cleaned out the neck of the gas tank..I think that's what they said they did. In any event, he said sometimes that works, other times not. If it came back on, I should bring it back and they will do a "smoke test" to find a possible pin-hole leak somewhere. The engine light came back on about a month later...took me a while to make the appointment. I did make it but by the time that day came, the light went off on its own. Dealer said it must have "fixed itself". About a month later, comes on again. I ran a vehicle health report and it sounds like its the same issue. Scheduled for service again and this time told them I want the smoke test done whether the light goes off or not. Anyone else ever have to have this done? There is no gas cap, so it can't be that.
On a side note, when that engine light is on (at least for this issue), the factory remote start will not work. The lights blink, but no start. I thought the remote start was messed up but after the light went off on its own last time it started working again...and now that light is back on it stopped working. Strange.
