A ''Check engine '' light can be triggered by a loose gas cap but after all the other things you did this sounds unlikely unless she damaged it
In my ancient past, I owned a Saab that picked up a similar problem when I filled up a near empty tank. Rust in the bottom of the tank passed the filter and clogged the injectors and left me stranded. The gas tank, in my case, had to be replaced and the injectors cleaned. Gas today is much cleaner. Rust can sometimes occur in a tank from condensation that occurs if cold gas stored underground is pumped into a hot tank or vice versa when relatively hot underground gas is pumped into a severely cold tank. In either case condensate can occur, creating water which can rust a tank.
