Take it back to where you bought it and let them fix it under warranty. Then go take some typing and spelling lessons.

This usually happens with telescoping wheel, if you turn the car off and start it again, usually it will correct itself. However, the problem is with the wiring harness in the column getting pinched, there is a TSB for the problem, I occasionally have the same issue with my '05, there is a small comb like divider the dealer installs between the wires to correct it. I just dread going to the dealer to get it fixed. The part itself is only .79 cents.

No problem Rooster. We all make typos. I certainly make my share.
Wow, I'd be upset too! As others have said, it is probably something quick to diagnose. Just take it to your dealer and let them take care of you.
Good luck and welcome to the forum.

We get it. But you should understand that making the effort to put together a good clear post about your problem is the best way to get good responses. When we see posts with a lot of mistakes, we don't usually think "big fingers" but rather "sloppy effort". Don't take it personally, just trying to help.

This is too weird. I just left a restaurant as well and my check engine light came on too. Solar flares maybe... Like the op, 2010 with 2100 miles. Runs ok though. Checked the gas cap and its ok. I guess the next step is call the dealer and schedule a service appt.

Did you read post #22 ?
The OP found he had a loose spark plug wire.

Glad you found the problem, when the Websters Dictionary crowd shows up most of the time it's because they have little mechanical aptitude...otherwise they would help as others did.....just ignore them.

I looked at the plug wires and all looks well but was waiting for the engine to cool before I stuck my big hand down there to check if they were loose. The engine ran fine on the way home and idles smooth. I'm hoping just a plug wire...
