| Description of the problem | Check engine light, vsc light and 4wd light came on and stayed on. Took vehicle to dealer and they diagnosed problem as defective charcoal canister. Was told toyota would not cover the repair or part under their emissions warranty. Toyota is attempting to blame this problem on consumer error when filling the gas tank. How is the charcoal canister not part of the emissions system when it's purpose is to serve as a filter of gas/exhaust fumes. Toyota is once again not standing by their warranties or products. |
