The codes p050a and p0326 were identified. I have had many issues with the check engine light coming on with the same codes. When I make an appointment to get it checked out. The check engine light goes off. I have just had my vehicle inspected and emission test completed by the #1 cochran Hyundai dealership (monroeville, pa) on 02/16/2018. This seems to be a continuous issue. Check engine light comes on for maybe a week or so then goes off for a week or so.”
