Has anyone had the fuel filler pipe fix done? The dealer tells me the fender removal is quite invasive. Unfortuantely, I continue to have both the engine light and stalling problems. Looks as if I will not have a choice

It has actually stalled twice. The engine temperature is usually under 200 degrees when this happens and the air conditioning is on.
Everything else seems to be normal. Is this something that might be fixed with an adjustment? Should I try a different brand of gasoline (I am using Shell)? Should I just get used to it?
Aware of problem. Issue is with the fuel filler pipe. The dealer can run a quick check but the car cannot have more than a 1/2 full tank of gas. They can quickly determine if yours is another with the fuel filler pipe problem.
It is a relatively easy fix once they order the part. Requires right front fender removal.
