Engine light keeps coming on while driving or stationary. I had a diagnostics test done they said it is the rocker arm solenoid. They said there is a national back order and 1 of our local dealers had 6 cars waiting for this part at the time and had already been waiting for several months. This is obviously a manufacturing defect that gm should be doing a recall for.
