The vehicle's gas tank would not fill because air had gotten in the tank. The dealer has been notified. One must hold the gas nozzle away from the filler tube and restrict the flow. The tire and fuel system/tank/injectors were replaced. There was a rattle sound coming from the engine due to the injectors the vehicle would stall. After the engine is hot, the next time the vehicle would turn over but no start and run rough. The fuel gauge fluctuated(not giving actual amount). The solenoid was replaced due to hanging by the hose retainer. Scc.
