Check Engine Light
My 2017 Stingray has been a terrific car since I got it in 2019. Came to me with 3541 miles already showing. Other than tires it has not given me any trouble until 2024 when the "check engine" light came on. A code check showed transmission. The light went out. Same thing happened in 2025, and again now in 2026. There has never been problems in normal operation of the vehicle with or without the light. The only similarity in these three incidents is that the car had recently come out of a 5 month winter hibernation. I have been given several different guesses on the cause and solution for this and the costs range from OK to a new C-8. Now, someone in the dealership where I got it told me this is somewhat common for C-7s. His belief is they do not like to sit. Has anyone on the forum ever experienced this problem?
