2001 mustang check engline light came on and the car steering is shaking a bit what could be the problem car has 120 k miles on it?

the car steering shaking and the check engine light are almost certainly NOT the same problem. Mustangs shake, that's just how it works.

If they can't help you... a mechanic is the next stop.
