The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact started the ignition and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. In addition, the vehicle stalled, but was able to restart on the first attempt. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (jim causley Buick GMC truck, 38111 S gratiot ave, clinton, mi 48036) where it was diagnosed that the charcoal canister needed to be replaced. The canister was infested with spiders and spider webs that blocked the flow of fuel fumes, which caused the vehicle to stall. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer stated that there was no recall and were familiar with the failure. No additional assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 26,000.
