Dealer has done all schedule maintainance and service manager stated they had adjusted valves at the 60k tune-up. At about 70k took auto to dealer for check engine light. They said lugs misfired, reset code. Month later check engine light came on went off next day. Dealer said "ah, just drive it, if it comes on again bring it in". Month later light comes on.
