Dodge Stratus 2006 P0449 Code: EVAP Solenoid and Canister Replaced but Code Persists
I own a 2006 Dodge Stratus 2.7L with a persistent P0449 diagnostic code. The EVAP solenoid and charcoal canister have already been replaced, and I've taken the vehicle to several repair shops, but none have successfully cleared the code. All diagnostics confirm the presence of P0449, and the check engine light remains on. What steps should I take next to resolve this issue?
P0449 is not typically on my quick-hit list — please confirm the code is accurately read from the OBD2 scanner. Also, ensure the vehicle is a Dodge Stratus (not a Mitsubishi model), as there may be confusion between similar models.
