Have owned this unit for over 1 year, after purchase in 2013, noted that on fuel tank fill up, after leaving the gas station, the engine would either die, or stumble. Potential hazard at the stop light pulling out into traffic. Would only happen after full fill up and not every time. Being aware of this I could plan accordingly. Research shows that the stumble or die happens with the purge system activation after eng start and short driving, ie, leaving gas station . If you do some research on line you will find the threads that lead you to the same conclusion. As a mechanic, I do feel that this issue, as reported in the press, is as big a problem if not more than the gm key recall issues. ( I have one of those cars too. ).
Filled the tank with gas,started driving was making a turn and the engine conked out. Luck was with me, as I was not in traffic at that time.
The catalytic converter was replaced so nys inspection could be passed. In may of 2014 I was told that it is bad again & needs a replacement but the shop can't get it because the regulations have changed to use CA standards and the unit us not available. This us resulting in unreasonable expense.
The rear evaporator has leaked since September 2008 making the car only 2 years old to have to have such an expensive fix.
