Faulty cannister purge valve causing rough idle, stalling. Code p1450. Dealership has "fulfilled" recall requirement by re-flashing the ecu, without our knowledge or permission. Now that part is actually failing, they will not fix under the recall. This is a known problem and they try to "fix" is for free while its still working so they can make money off it later.
