“From 2017-present engine light is on and has code p0455. While driving down the road vehicle drives a bit rough and on at least 8 occasions it has lost power while driving down the road. Almost feels like its going to shut off. Three smoke tests were done, one at a Chevrolet dealer in 2017. So far auto repair shops have replaced 1)gas cap, 2) purge valve 4 times, 3) fuel sensor above fuel tank and we diy replaced carbon canister and vent valve solenoid. Still the problem persists.”
