The first month we had the car, the 'check fuel' system light kept coming on.

I took it to the dealer several times in the space of a week. They finally kept the car, giving me a 'loaner' and fiddled with the vapor emissions system which recycles fuel fumes from gas tank back into the combustion system. Turned out, the entire

system, pump, sensors everything was bad and they switched out an entire system from a new model to replace bad one. The car was in the shop for a whole week.

You would say....so what, it was a warranty repair.... but what a nuisance on a brand new car!!!
