I have 2005 chevy 1500 ext cab and when I go to fill the gas the pump just stops on me. I tried holding it half way everything it just keeps stopping. I have heard of others with this problem with the same truck so I just wanted to let you know.

I had to replace the cannistor evaporation solenoid because of repeated check engine sensor. This cost me $330. The mechanic told me this is a retrofit part that chevy has come up with which tells me that chevy is fully aware of this very common problem with this truck. I know of 4 other people who have the same truck and the same problem. I want chevy to reimburse me for this repair.
