NHTSA complaint #11654362, filed 2025-04“I had this car go to the garage back in February under the 2021-2023 Seltos and Soul engine recall. The engine was fine but the check engine light is has been on since MARCH.

My OBD2 Reader shows the engine is pulling a large amount of retarded timing and it only happens under acceleration.”
