Description of the problem | 7/19 bought my 2011 sonata then two days later check engine light came on. Took to dealership they said gas cap was loose and if it came back on to bring back in. 2 weeks later went to gas station, came back out car wouldnt start. No click or anything. All power worked as well. Walked home started researching, other owners had the same issue. Walked back determined to try some things i read about. Car started without me doing anything. No check light came on. Next day driving check engine light came on and thats when i took back to dealership. Of course it started up whenever they tried it so they wrote could not duplicate customer concern. They ran diagnostics and they said purge valve was found to be shortned internally. Code p0455. 500 bucks later because no warranty (as is vehicle) not even a month off the dam lot... My instructions were when filling up with fuel do not top off beyond when the fuel pump shuts off. Fuel could enter the purge valve/canister via vent tubes. Wtf.... They wouldnt cover even though the dealership put the gas in when i bought it so it wasnt me.... Lucky me :( |
