Consumer Description

FUEL EVAP SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONING NOT ALLOWING FUEL SYSTEM TO VENT THUS MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE. THIS ALSO RESULTS IN A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO OCCUR. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND A BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM: DTC P0446 (RESTRICTED/BLOCKED EVAP VENT PATH) SET, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON (REPLACE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION (EVAP) VENT VALVE SOLENOID ASSEMBLY AND ADD/RELOCATE FILTER BOX USING SERVICE KIT). THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON AND RECURRING ISSUE AND THE REPAIR IS TO NOT ONLY REPLACE THE PART, BUT CHANGE THE EXISTING DESIGN OF THE SYSTEM. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL WHERE THE MANUFACTURER FIXES THE PROBLEM SINCE IT IS OBVIOUSLY AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM? I HAVE READ MANY BLOGS THAT INCLUDE ALMOST NEW VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR
