Default Inspection

I bought a used SUV from Autoserve three years ago. From the get go the check engine light was on. Code is 'General emission failure'. The first few months I would spend a day in the shop everytime the check engine light comes back on. I just don't have the time to run back and forth from the dealer, so they assure me as long as I own the vehicle they will make sure I will pass inspection. They also assure me that they would give me top trade in dollar if I should trade it in.
When I disconnect the battery, the CEL will be off for several thousand miles and it will light up again. So the dealer would disconnect the battery a week before inspection. It will pass inspection.
Yes, it is my fault I let them get away with it. I love my Jeep.
