| Description of the problem | My name is [xxx]i am a quadriplegic paralyzed person. I live by myself with 24 hour cna care. I was injured at work on nov. 2000 by a gun shot. I bought a van in 2006. Right after one year,i noticed check engine light on. I took my van to stevenson toyota dealer,aurora,co. After diagnostics,they found gas/oil leakage from my gas cap. They changed gas cap,cleared the code. 3 week later,check engine light came back on. Again i took it back,same diagnostics,gas leakage from gas cap. Again cleared the code from their machine. 2 weeks later,check engine light came back. I took my van several times back to the dealer but never solved the problem. I park my van at a garage. I've noticed that my van is taking lots of gas and strong smell of gas in garage. I am really scared of caught on fire inside the garage or fire on my van. I am tired of paying lots of money i am very low income person. Now they are saying i've to pay whole bunch of money that i can't afford. The person i talked to the dealer is con vo. He is very rude and saying that he can't find my van info. In his system but other lady i talked to says she can . And my door is hard to open. I heard that there is sludge/oil recall to address this problem. So i'd like to request you to investigate my problem and find a reasonable solution for this. Thank you and god bless you.
