Check engine light came on, and I found that if you turn your key from the run to on position multiple times, I think it was like 3 times, the odometer will display the error codes. I looked the codes up online, and they pointed to the EGR valve. I then just bought one from a dealer for $75 (some dealers were more expensive, but you can also get them online). Then I replaced it myself. I was very easy, and only has 2 bolts.

700 miles out of the standard factory warranty, We get a check engine light on. This is NOT the only problem BTW!!! We had numerous ABS sensor problems, automatic door locks wiring problems. The garage is ordering a part to replace in the emissions system, I believe it was called an EGR valve. Definitely looking for a new car after this!
