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 ! *TR
