AB did a carbon clean for me when i had a CEL at ~30k miles

i had a CEL and a rough idle and they took care of it free of charge.. btw, it did fix the CEL and rough idle.

Pay them to fix it. Read your warranty, and sue AoA and the dealer for breach of warranty...

...the letter threatening it will get that paid, especially if your state has any powerful consumer protection legislation dealing with denial of warranties, etc.

I had my first one done about 6 months ago...second one two weeks ago!

The dealer is trying to figure out an engine misfire that is causing the check engine light to come on. They decarbonized, changed plugs, etc^n, and have finally concluded that it's the cylinder head. All of this, of course, is under warranty
