Consumer Description

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SO WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. GASOLINE HAD ENTERED THE GAS TANK VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM AND HAD RUINED IT. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THIS WAS DUE TO A DESIGN ISSUE AND IS IN THE PROCESS OF INSTALLING A NEW, REDESIGNED GAS TANK AND VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM. WHAT WAS TROUBLING TO ME WAS THAT THE VAPOR RECOVERY FILTER TANK, ABOUT 3-4 GALLONS OF CHARCOAL, WAS FILLED WITH GASOLINE. I BELIEVE THIS TO HAVE BEEN A SAFETY HAZARD WORTH REPORTING TO YOU. *TR
