    I have a 2012 with 2500 miles. Everything feels fine, but the check engine light came on today. It is a holiday weekend and tomorrow, Sunday we are supposed to hit the road for a 500 mile trip. I checked the gas cap since I filled 60 miles ago and this forum indicated that can be the source of the light. Sure enough it was on but not tightened. The light is still on. Dare I drive?

    no problem. when you have a chance, a local mechanic or auto parts place can shut it off for you, but there's no harm while it's on.

    I think the chech engine light will go away after 1 or 3 on/off cycles after the problem is no longer detected.
