Upon driving in a residential area, the engine began vibrating more than normal. It was more noticable at slower speeds. Soon, the Engine Light, VTM-4 Light and Traction Control Light illuminated. Upon shutting down the car and starting it up again, the engine vibrations were even louder, with the same light illuminated. We took it to our local mechanic, who was unable to replicate the engine vibrations. After driving it a few times, the lights went out. The mechanic found significant soot built up in cylindar 2, but was unsure what the cause of the engine issue was.
