Description of the problem | Engine stalls at low speeds causing loss of steering and braking. There was no check engine light or error code when this first occurred. After the engine had stalled for about 32-35 times, the check engine light finally came on. I took the truck to a local mechanic shop to read the code which indicated that the evap system was blocked. My dealer determined that a solenoid in the fuel evap. System had failed. As a result the fuel tank was collapsed by vacuum because there was no secondary tank vent. This is dangerous! There should be a secondary vent or a pressure/vacuum sensor to prevent the tank from being collapsed. Note: the tank was collapsed so much so, as to damage the pump/level sending unit assembly. |
