| Description of the problem | When refueling the vehicle would shut off prematurely as if it was full after on 1-2 tenths of a gallon. To fill up the tank took about 10 minutes because of this malfunctioning. Soon after this the transmission started to default and shift to neutral which is a bad thing when crossing multiple lanes of oncoming traffic. What i thought was safe i soon learned was a serious risk to others as well as myself. This started happening more frequently and a solution was never found. The vehicle would work fine for a few weeks and then the vicious cycle of the ongoing issue of defaulting to neutral while in traffic would occur. Just the other day the diagnosis "post warranty" identified that the vapor canister and fuel pump was the issue. Earlier i was told that replacing the battery solved the transmission problem, which wasn't to be. Replacing the vapor canister, and fuel pump cost $1292. 45 and i've only driven my vehicle from the dealership to the garage. |
