problem #1

After owning the car for one month, the car was running real rough. The engine light came on and the car was towed to the dealership. They replaced one spark plug and one spark plug wire. The following weekend, it did the same thing. This time, the dealership changed out all of the wires and plugs (Nov 03, Dec 03). Recently (April 04), it ran real rough again and the engine light came on again. AGAIN, the wires and plugs have been replaced. Do have a lemon on my hands? To me, the car still runs rough at idle and at 45mph. The mechanic said that since the engine is small, the car idles rough. Has anyone else reported this problem?
