HAWAII IN THE HOUSE ...I OWN A 2006 SCION XA AND RECENTLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED AT HILO TOYOTA.."P2401 EVAPORATE LEAK DETECTION PUMP CONTROL CIRCUIT". THE CHARCOAL CANISTER AND SOME OTHER PARTS ARE RUINED DUE TO WATER LEAKAGE. I AM ONE OF MILLIONS SCION OWNERS WHO NOW HAS TO PAY MAJOR PARTS AND LABOR CHARGES TO HAVE THIS FIXED. I LIVE IN HAWAII AND IT RAINS ALOT HERE, I FIND THIS AS A DEFECT AND TOYOTA SHOULD TAKE THE RIGHT ACTIONS TO FIX THIS ON GOING ISSUE. I LOVE MY SCION BUT I HATE KNOWING THIS WILL RE-OCCUR AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN... AS MANY POSTS HAVE PAID FOR NEW PARTS. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME AND I PAYED OVER $1,000 IN REPAIRS FOR THIS CODES. "TOTOTA" HANDLE THIS ISSUE ALREADY. WE ARE LOYAL CUSTOMERS, BUT U GUYS NEED TO TAKE ACTION. NOT EVERY ONE HAS A FEW THOUSANDS TO FIX THIS ON GOING ISSUE.
