Other Fuel System Tank Assembly Problems of Buick Lacrosse

Whenever we fuel our 2011 Buick Lacrosse cxs it would not fully start and after several attempts, it would run the battery down. After the second incident, it was observed that if we rapidly pump the accelerator while the vehicle was trying to start it would pick up and fully start. This is what we have been doing and is still doing, regardless of the fuel station (exxon-mobile, shell, murphy/walmart, citgo, chevon, valero, fuel depot, ect. ). Here is a list of things we have attempted: 1) with the gas tank at about half, open the gas tank put the gas pump into the tank, don't pump any gas, close the tank, start the vehicle (maybe opening the tank was the culprit): all is fine. 2) with the tank at about half, full the tank (different station), start the vehicle: all is bad. 3) with the tank at about empty, full the tank (different station), start the vehicle: all is bad. 4) with the tank at about quarter, full to half tank (different station), start the vehicle: all is bad. My conclusion is that the vehicle is creating the problem and needs to be corrected. Before reaching this point, I had to call for road service twice. In the first case the vehicle was towed to a dealership and they found nothing and the second we jumped the vehicle.

The code indicates an evaporation leak from the fuel tank. . Every time I put gas in the car it sputters or stalls before cranking.

Purchased car a little over two years ago and in that time it has been in the shop for repairs numerous times. The problems that continues to occur is the check engine light comes on and the car cannot stay running. It loses power at stop lights, been pushed at gas stations and has even stopped running pulling onto the interstate. Taken it to the Buick dealership and each time they claim to have "fixed" it. This car was in the shop two weeks ago exactly and the check engine light is back on and the car continues to stop running (full tank of gas) for no reason. I do not have an additional car to drive, so when it is in the shop I have to rent one or borrow one, along with the costs to get this car "fixed" I am looking at about four thousand dollars since November 2015. The Buick dealership in twin falls, idaho needs to figure out what is wrong with this car and get it fixed for good. This is not ok. Who spends this much money on a 2013 car, only to have repair bills and a car that is still not fixed! on a side note, weren't a large majority of 2013 Buick Lacrosse's recalled? if so, I have never been notified. Shame on you Buick for selling such a poor running and unsafe care and shame on rob green Buick in twin falls, idaho for not fixing a problem after our car has been in your shop at least four times since November 2015 for the same problems that have been reported time and time again.
