This vehicle has had to go in about 4 or 5 times now for fuel system issues. I am solely blaming packer city international in green bay, wi for misdiagnosing the problem. I would really like help in filing a lawsuit against them as they have screwed me out of about $5000 now and still have not resolved the issue. They keep saying "let's try replacing this or that" and I keep having the exact same issues !
