| FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | |||
| 01/03/2012 | 118011 | ||
| Fuel evap system malfunctioning not allowing fuel system to vent thus making it almost impossible to refuel the vehicle. this also results in a check engine light to occur. the dealership found a bulletin on this problem: dtc p0446 (restricted/blocked evap vent path) set, check engine light on (replace evaporative emission (evap) vent valve solenoid assembly and add/relocate filter box using service kit). this seems to be a common and recurring issue and the repair is to not only replace the part, but change the existing design of the system. why is this not a recall where the manufacturer fixes the problem since it is obviously an engineering problem? i have read many blogs that include almost new vehicles with this same problem. | |||
