Owner Complaints (1)
Your engine is shutting off unexpectedly while idling, at low speeds (5-10 mph), and on the highway, which creates a serious safety hazard. The dealership replaced the vapor charcoal canister and the problem went away for about a year, but it has returned—and the issue doesn't trigger any diagnostic codes, making it difficult to pinpoint. A malfunction warning appears after the engine shuts off at highway speeds. The fix may involve diagnosing and replacing fuel system components, possibly including the vapor canister again or related fuel system parts.
