Try getting the OBDII codes or take it to dealer to figure out what is causing the problem.

HAHA!!!! you're lucky. That's only the A/F sensors. I went through that a little less than a month ago. I will save you a lot of pain and money. All you need is the sensor, although I only replaced the one per code P1135, you might want to change both since the price at which you'll buy it is a nice savings from the dealer or having them do it. YES, when the engine light came on, TRAC OFF came on at the same time and my MPG was dropping slowly. I couldn't turn the TRAC on or off after the light lit up. I though I was dealing with something more serious.

Let me find the links and I'll post it here in a minute. You'll get them from a seller in EBAY and you can change yourself in less than 30 minutes. I'm in Tampa, where are you? Maybe I can help...

Use this link to the item http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...sid=p3984.m106 it has the lowest shipping of $14.95, the others are at $19.45, probably the seller's suffer small dyslexia.... With our tax since in FL as well as the vendor, your total should be $151.74 shipped with tax. The sensor alone is $207 at the dealer, the same Denso OEM sensor. Go figure...

Check with them for combined shipping since you need two of them. P1135 is Bank 1 sensor 1 and P1150 is Bank 2 Sensor 1. So the front and back Air Fuel Ratio Sensors, you need. For virtually $305 dollars you can solve what the dealer or a mechanic would charge over $500 for. Not to mention that most times a regular mechanic has no clue of the right sensors on these cars.

You can call the seller, they are nice and actually pick up the phone. They are in Davie, FL. Good Luck.

NO!!! autozone does NOT sell the A/F sensors. They will try to give you BOSCH O2 sensors priced at $200 dollars that will not work or solve the problem. I went through that. It will either be the Dealer or Ebay. I received mine from the Ebay seller in 3 days. Might be shorter for you since you're closer on the east coast.
