| Description of the problem | About a month ago my engine light kept coming on and every time i filled the tank with gas the car wont start unless i keep the foot on the gas while turning the ignition key then i have to switch the gear to drive with a foot on the brake and one on the gas. I took it to the dealership and had to replace the purge valve and the purge hose. Not even a week i went to fill the tank and my gauge dropped to empty and while i drive it starts to go up and down constantly it is hard to tell how much gas you have, i notice is very common on this make and model and year. This should be a recall since it is a safety hazard. |
