Description of the problem | Service engine light comes on frequently. Car runs very rough. Stalls. Took to dealer. Report received: in ambient temperatures 100 f degrees or higher, dtcs p2635 and/or p108b may set. The vehicle may also exhibit a hesitation or stalling condition. Cause: excessively hot and sustained ambient temps over 100 f degrees causing vaport buildup in fuel feed line. Advised to use greater than 91 octane fuel, keep in covered garage. There is no fix! What has happened to us: while driving on interstate, when trying to accelerate, car bogs down and will not accelerate, slowing while in heavy traffic. On way home, 96 degree day, two babies in car with groceries, stopped at a light on heavily traveled, two lane road, car stalls out and will not restart for several minutes. While coming off the interstate this morning, the car almost stalled again. If car will stall while idling or accelerating, this could easily cause an accident. To be told there is no fix for this problem is extremely concerning. |
