Problem with the 'engine check light'. First came on at about 3k miles. Dealer spent four hours and made a comment about the fault code being associated with the idle speed (yeah right). They fooled with it , reset the computer and sent me away. Now it's back on again. I have noticed that the light goes out but then re-appears again. It's back to the dealer again. If anyone has an absolute solution, I'd love to know so I can tell the dealer what to look for.

Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving at 20-30 MPH, the vehicle accelerated on its own regardless of braking by the driver. Oil pan failure was found out to be the cause.
When accelerating nothing happens at an intersection. Consumer feels it is very dangerous.
While driving on service road stopped for a red light, lifted foot off the brakes and vehicle accelerated on its own. Contacted the dealer, and he was not able to help.
