I also personally ran into this with my new VW Jetta with a CEL. Dealer tried to blame my addition of a subwoofer and digital amp to the factory headinit of a consistent EVAP code. Turned them into Ohio Attorney General and filed a lemon law complaint that went nowhere. Retained an attorney with all my paperwork and they settled out of court. I ended up with $15k and kept the car (that another dealer found and fixed the issue). Used that to buy a new Silverado.

I thought altering the emissions system was against federal law?
Isn't adding a catch can is against federal law.
You say it is so easy to prove, why are there not any cases where gm has lost this battle in court?
