| Description of the problem | In may 2014, at approximately 55mph, after refueling and driven 50 miles. The engine light came on. Stopped vehicle and checked everything that i could check, as i had just had it serviced approx. 300 miles prior. Continued on trip, after spending night in motel, took vehicle to repair facility and they did diagnostics... Came up with code 461, which was fuel lever sensor in gas tank. Continued on trip, (1300 miles), after that two times when i had filled up with gas again the vehicle died within 2 miles... No engine light ever came back on. This continued throughout the summer, occurring 80% of the time i refueled... Took to dealer as i have extended warranty, they are looking into it, but said because the engine light doesn't come back on, they can't evaluate it. Read somewhere since i took it back to the dealer, that if i don't fill the tank up fully, that will cure the problem? The engine dying happens while driving less than 20mph, so far... Could be a problem pulling out in traffic? This is now october, still experiencing problem. |
