The Case

A 2025 Chevrolet Suburban With Check Engine Light, Rough Running, and Cylinder #4 Misfire

Our client purchased a 2025 Chevrolet Suburban in New Jersey (Aug 2025). Documented service history describes an intermittent check engine light and rough running, a misfire in cylinder #4 with diagnostic trouble code P0304 and an intermittent no spark condition (leading to #4 ignition coil and later #4 fuel injector replacement), and a later EVAP concern where code P0455 was tied to a purge solenoid that was not pulling vacuum and was full of fuel, as was the canister. Current mileage on the odometer: 17,000. Intake indicated the vehicle was not in the repair shop for more than 30 days at any time. The client contacted Easy Lemon for legal assistance under the lemon law.

Service notes record that “The customer reported that the check engine light was intermittently turning on and off and the vehicle was running rough.” Further: “The customer returned with the check engine light on and reported a misfire in cylinder #4. Diagnosis revealed diagnostic trouble code P0304 and intermittent no spark condition, though all circuits tested okay. The #4 ignition coil was replaced and the repair was completed.” Technicians then documented that “Diagnosis again found code P0304, and while circuits tested okay, the fuel injector balance test failed on cylinder #4. The #4 fuel injector was replaced and the repair was completed.” And: “Testing of the EVAP system seal revealed the purge solenoid was not pulling vacuum and was full of fuel, as was the canister. The canister and purge solenoid were replaced, and the system tested okay after repair.”

What Went Wrong

  • Intermittent check engine light / rough running: the check engine light was intermittently turning on and off and the vehicle was running rough.
  • Cylinder #4 misfire (P0304): a misfire in cylinder #4; diagnosis revealed diagnostic trouble code P0304 and intermittent no spark condition; the #4 ignition coil was replaced.
  • Cylinder #4 fuel injector: diagnosis again found code P0304; the fuel injector balance test failed on cylinder #4; the #4 fuel injector was replaced.
  • EVAP / P0455: diagnosis found code P0455; testing of the EVAP system seal revealed the purge solenoid was not pulling vacuum and was full of fuel, as was the canister; the canister and purge solenoid were replaced.
  • Repeated return visits: the customer returned referencing previous visits as the check engine light and related concerns recurred across September 2025 through March 2026 service dates.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I file a lemon law claim for a Chevrolet Suburban?
Yes. Chevrolet vehicles, including the Suburban, are covered by state lemon laws and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act when they qualify. If your Suburban has a substantial defect — such as an intermittent check engine light with rough running, a cylinder #4 misfire (diagnostic trouble code P0304), or an EVAP purge solenoid and canister failure — that authorized service cannot permanently repair after a reasonable number of attempts, or it has been out of service for an extended period, it may qualify as a lemon. The manufacturer is responsible for all attorney fees if you prevail, so you pay nothing out of pocket†.
What is the New Jersey Lemon Law?
New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle Warranty Act (the New Jersey Lemon Law, codified at N.J.S.A. § 56:12-29 through § 56:12-49) protects consumers who buy or lease new motor vehicles that have substantial defects covered by warranty. A vehicle may qualify if the same nonconformity has been subject to repair three or more times by the manufacturer or its authorized dealers, or if the vehicle has been out of service by reason of repair for a cumulative total of 20 or more calendar days, within the first 24 months from the date of original delivery or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first. Consumers may also pursue claims under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act for vehicles still under the manufacturer’s written warranty.
What does a Cash and Keep settlement mean in a lemon law case?
A Cash and Keep settlement means the manufacturer pays a lump-sum cash settlement to the owner, who keeps the vehicle. It is commonly used when the owner prefers to retain the vehicle after documented repair attempts for a substantial defect, rather than pursuing a full buyback or replacement. The cash amount is negotiated based on the facts of the case.
How does Easy Lemon handle Chevrolet lemon law claims?
Easy Lemon files a formal demand against Chevrolet citing the applicable state lemon law and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. We handle the documentation, communication with the manufacturer, negotiation, and arbitration or litigation when necessary. Our clients pay nothing out of pocket; the manufacturer is required to pay all reasonable attorney fees if you prevail†.
