Does anyone else have a problem with the check engine light coming on after refueling ? It's the second time it's happened after buying it. I'm wondering if there's a more underlying problem? It also trips up the AFS and turns stability control off. Anyway to fix it?

Sounds like your gas cap isn't sealing properly. That will throw a light. It's certainly the most inexpensive place to start the search.

+1 on Carver's gas cap suggestion. If loose cap is not the problem have the vehicle's codes read. Many auto supply stores will read these codes using an ODBII reader for free. Post back what you find out.
