2007 pontiac solstice. Engine lights comes on after misfires, dealers replaced spark plugs stating they were faulty (@aprox 18k miles), this happens again 6k miles later. Dealer instructing there is no issue, I should not use the same gas station every fill. I am concerned that the car will misfire at a time that will leave me in the path of other cars, unable to move quick enough to avoid an accident.
