Description of the problem | Car will not start after fueling. Car shakes and shutters and takes multiple cranking attempts to start car. This only happens after fueling. It also does not matter whether the tank is almost empty, half-way full, or 3/4 full. The same thing occurs everytime. This started happening after the dealership updated my software per the recall. Contacted the dealership and they wanted to charge me $100 just to diagnose a problem that started after they updated my software. |
