1 Tank Filler Pipe And Cap problem

Failure Date: 12/15/2010

Vehicle stalled while stopped at intersection, first happened in December and not again until April of the next year. Since April it has begun to stall more often when stopped. Vehicle also hesitates while driving. Vehicle was taken to dealership service center in June; they were not able to figure out what was wrong. Vehicle was taken to same dealership service center in August, after stalling and hesitation dramatically increased. I provided the service center with the possible problem and solution that I found through research online. Diagnostic testing confirmed that it is a known issue with the fuel tank. Replaced fuel tank, evap canister, vent solenoid, purge flow solenoid, and canister filter, with parts and labor totalling $1100. Service center refused to answer whether the parts are the same design as the defective parts, or if they have been fixed/updated.
