Description of the problem | Check engine light, turned out it was solenoid vent valve, a $36 part that cost me a total of $600 usd to replace after diagnostic fees and shop fees. They had to drop the gas tank to access it. This is a premature failure for a four year old vehicle with only 48,000 km. If this is a regular maintenance item that requires frequent replacement, gm should have put it in a more accessible location so it doesn't cost $600 to replace a $36 part! |
