2006 Scion Xa

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. DEALERSHIP COMES UP WITH CODES P043E, P043F, P0456, P0401,P0402, P2419 EVAP CODES RELATED TO TSB EG047-06. HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT RESTRICTED TO JUST THIS MODEL AND IS CAUSED DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE FUEL SYSTEM, THAT ALLOWS WATER INTRUSION INTO THE CHARCOAL CANISTER AND THE FILTER, LEADING TO EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. MANY OTHER SCION MODELS AS WELL AS OTHER ECONOMY SIZED TOYOTA VEHICLES SHARE THE SAME DEFECT IN THE DESIGN LEADING TO THE SERVICE BULLETIN, WHICH ACTUALLY SHOULD BE A RECALL SO THAT THIS DESIGN DEFECT CAN BE FIXED PROPERLY AT THE DEALERSHIP BY TOYOTA. IF NEGLECTED BY CONSUMERS OR IF THE FIX IS POSTPONED DUE TO IT BEING SO EXPENSIVE, IT CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES RELATED TO THE FUEL SYSTEM OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

SCION XA 2006 WITH JUST 46000 (MOSTLY HIGHWAY!) MILES DID NOT PASS EMISSIONS TEST DUE TO DIAGNOSTIC CODES: P2401, P043E, PO43F, P2419, P2402 INDICATING 'EVAPORATION LEAK/EMISSION PROBLEMS. TOYOTA CUSTOMER RELATIONS STATED THE REPAIR WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND REFUSED TO HELP ME WITH THE COST OF REPAIR - SEE CASE #: 1310120509. THE DEALER CHARGED ME $588.39 (AFTER A DISCOUNT OF $95.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE) TO INSTALL 'CHARCOAL CANISTER, FUEL FILLER NECK, FUEL TANK FILLER HOLDER, & CHARCOAL FILTER SUB-ASSY.' THE FACT THAT IT IS STANDARD FOR A CAR WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES TO FAIL AN EMISSIONS TEST SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED IN COMPLIANCE WITH EPA STANDARDS. TOYOTA IS CHARGING CONSUMERS THE COST OF REPAIRING A DEFECTIVE EVAPORATION SYSTEM IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH EPA STANDARDS THEREFORE THE NHTSA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL OF THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT(S) - SEE TSB #: EG047-06.

MY QUESTION IS HAS THE TOYOTA SCION XA-2006 , WITH ITS MANY MANY COMPLAINTS OF A FUEL TANK PROBLEM BEEN RECALLED YET. I ASK THAT BECAUSE WITH A MERE 37,000 MILES SCION HAS OFFERED ME $235 OUT OF THE $800 REQUIRED TO REPAIR THE FUEL SYSTEM BECAUSE OF AN EVAP. PROBLEM. I INITIALLY AGREED TO THE AMOUNT AND NOW THINK THAT IS NOT ENOUGH, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT OF THE MANY MANY TOYOTA, SCION XA 2006 WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM. I DID FILE A COMPLAINT ON ABOUT FEB 27TH. THE O.D.I NUMBER IS 10449553- IF THAT IS PERTINENT.[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA SCION XA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LAMP WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS AN EVAPORATION LEAK IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. AS A RESULT, THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 37,000. UPDATED 04/11/12*LJ UPDATED 04/23/12

AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY REPORTED I HAVE A 2006 SCION XA. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR ONLY HAS 52,000 MILES ON IT AND I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. THEY STATED IT WAS A CHARCOAL CANISTER THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR COVERED BY ANYTHING. THEY WANT $784.00 PLUS TAX TO FIX THE ISSUE. WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM I DO NOT SEE HOW THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH MAKING CUSTOMERS PAY FOR THIS ON BASICALLY BRAND NEW CARS. *TR

2006 SCION XA- CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AT 89K MILES; CODES INDICATED "EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM" ISSUES. BROUGHT TO THE DEALER; WAS TOLD CHARCOAL CANISTER NEEDED REPLACING AS THERE WAS WATER IN IT THAT SHORTED OUT A PURGE VALVE. DID A SEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND A TOYOTA TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB EG04706) THAT DESCRIBED RETROFITTING A NEW FUEL VENT TUBE COLLAR TO PREVENT WATER INTRUSION AND ALL SUBSEQUENT CARS AFTER A CERTAIN VIN GOT A NEW DESIGN. SINCE THE CAR IS WELL OUT OF WARRANTY I ENDED UP SPENDING $750 TO FIX. IF THE TSB WAS IMPLEMENTED EARLIER AS PART OF NORMAL SERVICING IT WOULD HAVE ONLY BEEN .5 HRS LABOR ADDING A SMALL PART (COLLAR) AT MUCH LOWER COST. THE FACT THAT TOYOTA LETS THE CONSUMER TAKE THE CAR TO FAILURE BEFORE RECTIFYING THE ISSUE IS JUST NOT RIGHT. *TR

VAPOR CANISTER AND FILTER FAILURE DUE TO UNKNOWN CAUSES, THIS EFFECTS THE EMISSIONS AND MILEAGE PER GALLON DROP. AFTER CONTACTING MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS THEY TOLD ME THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY MODEL CAR AND ALL DEALERS HAVE BEEN FLOODED WITH THIS KIND OF PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA'S AS WELL. I WAS TOLD THAT A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN HAD BEEN ISSUED ON THIS PROBLEM DUE TO THE DESIGN PROBLEM IN THE EVAP SYSTEM. *TR

I OWN A 2006 SCION XA AND VERY RECENTLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED..."P2401 EVAPORATE LEAK DETECTION PUMP CONTROL CIRCUIT". THE CHARCOAL CANISTER AND SOME OTHER SMALL PARTS ARE RUINED DUE TO WATER LEAKAGE. I AM ONE OF MANY SCION OWNERS WHO NOW HAS TO PAY MAJOR PARTS AND LABOR CHARGES TO HAVE THIS FIXED. IT SHOULD MOST CERTAINLY BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR, NOT JUST FOR THE FIRST 50,000! *TR

I OWN A 2006 SCION XA. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW OFF OF THE SHOW ROOM. AFTER 5 MONTHS OF OWNING THE CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS PURCHASED FROM. THEY CHECKED IT WITH THE CODE READER. THE CODES WERE P2401- EVAP LEAK DETECTION PUMP STUCK ON, P043E- EVAP LEAK DETECTION ORIFICE LOW FLOW, EVAP LEAK DETECTION PUMP STUCK OFF, P2419- EVAP PRESSURE SWITCHING VALVE STUCK ON, P043F- EVAP LEAK DETECTION ORIFICE FLOW HIGH. THE DEALER REPLACED 4 PARTS FUEL TANK FILLER PIPE COVER, FILLER PIPE COVER HOLDER, CHARCOAL CANISTE, AND CHARCOAL CANISTER FILTER. THEY REPLACED THE PARTS AT NO CHARGE. I DROVE THE CAR FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS AND NOW THE LIGHT HAS COME BACK ON FOR THE SAME CODES. I NOW HAVE TO REPLACE THE SAME FOUR PARTS IN A CAR THAT IS LESS THEN 3 YEARS OLD. *TR
