Mine came on when I had a misfire code. I have the same year and model. Also that light is accompanied by my check engine light and the red alert arrow. I replaced a fouled out spark plug and all better. As far as dangerous I don't know. My car would rattle but that's because it was misfiring it would reset and come back on every few hours before I had it fixed.
