I haven't seen this as a common issue, but that doesn't mean there isn't a problem. A check engine light is always worth checking out. Labor costs usually are quite high so for relatively simple issues you may be better off researching and learning to repair the problem on your own, you'll take much better care of your car than anyone else anyway. Hope you're able to resolve this issue, keep us updated.
