Description of the problem | Check engine light investigated, and cause found to be loss of fuel tank pressure due to rotted out fuel filler neck. Original part made of non-corrosion resistant steel. Other corrosion problems with this vehicle have involved brake lines. The first line was replaced in 2007, when the vehicle was only 4 years old. A more extensive replacement of corroded lines was done in 2008 or 2009. These are serious safety and emissions related problems, and these vehicles should be recalled as a result of them. Owners who have paid for repairs in the past should be compensated by a reasonable amount. |
