Consumer Description

PURCHASED 2019 EQUINOX HAD 957 MILES ON IT WHEN "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT APPEARED. TOOK IT INTO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID CODE WAS P0442 EVAP SMALL LEAK. THEY FOUND PURGE TUBE NOT SEATED FULLY. PRIOR TO DRIVING IT INTO DEALERSHIP WE SMELT GAS FUMES IN THE INTERIOR CABIN. 23 DAYS LATER "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT APPEARED AT 1426 MILES. HEARD LOUD POP COMING FROM REAR OF CAR. AGAIN GAS FUMES CAN BE SMELT IN THE INTERIOR CABIN. DEALERSHIP SAID CODE P0442 AGAIN BUT IT WAS FROM THE EVAP CANISTER "O" RING FAILURE. THIS EMISSION SYSTEM SEEMS FAULTY AS IT IS A SEALED UNIT BUT SMELLING GAS FUMES IN THE INTERIOR IS NOT SAFE AT ALL.
