Lane Departure · reported Nov 11, 2026
EVAP code and catalytic converter malfunction. I bought the car used and had to have the engine replaced immediately, within a year the catalytic converter needs to be replaced and an EVAP leak code has been acknoweldged. The safety of the engine and fuel line is a concern, I am unsure of what risks myself or my family can be exposed to when but may include carbon monoxide poisioning, control of the vehicle due to acceleration issues. The components were inspected by multiple dealerships across 3 states. A warning light is visible and costs are astronomical.
