| Description of the problem | My brand new r32 has been stalling/hiccuping since 3100 miles. It has a lose of power under acceleration, then idles rough and sometimes dies. The check engine light comes on and the gas cap light comes on but as soon as you turn the car off and back on it goes away. It has died twice while driving in traffic and wouldn't start back, i've had it towed to the dealer twice. The dealer has replaced my purge valve and evap cannister twice, it runs fine for about 2 weeks then starts all over again. The car only has 7550 miles on it now and it's back at the dealer once again. |
