Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FWY MI CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING I PULLED OVER AND MY CAR TURNED OFF. I HAD A QUARTER TANK OF GAS LEFT ONCE I TRIED TO TURN IT ON IT WOULD NOT LET ME. I HAD TO CALL A TOW. I NOW HAD A CHECK ENGINE SIGN ON. I TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW PURGE CANISTER VALVE. BUT THAT DOESNT EXPLAIN WHY IT DID NOT WARN ME ON THE FWY THAT I NEEDED GAS .
