It's not necessarily dangerous but you should check it out and repair accordingly. Go to any auto parts store for a free scan. They will explain the codes and you can Google them for more information. Your wheels won't fall off, but you might be walking home if it quits running.

F_O_R is right. Any place is a bad place when you're stranded. Calling 911 only assures that someone will eventually get there to pick up the body and file a report. Sorta like Detroit.
