Fuel evap system malfunctioning not allowing fuel system to vent thus making it almost impossible to refuel the vehicle. This also results in a check engine light to occur. The dealership found a bulletin on this problem: Dtc P0446 (restricted/blocked evap vent path) set, check engine light on (replace evaporative emission (evap) vent valve solenoid assembly and add/relocate filter box using service kit). This seems to be a common and recurring issue and the repair is to not only replace the part, but change the existing design of the system. Why is this not a recall where the manufacturer fixes the problem since it is obviously an engineering problem? I have read many blogs that include almost new vehicles with this same problem.
