Is this normal?

Unfortunatley, yes, it is normal on the 2009. Hopefully they'll fix it next year and give us 2009 owners a fix as well. It's happened to me twice.... but the sencond time I drove with the CEL on for 1,000 or so miles, so maybe it would ahve happened even more had I got it fixed right away.

A loose gas cap on any newer car will set off the CEL. I dont think there will be a fix in 2010.
