| Description of the problem | After washing the underside of the car, the cel came on. Five p codes came up on scanner. The dealer told me that water got into the charcoal canister and that i would have to replace it along with other related parts total cost to me $1027. 83 which includes nys tax not including labor charge. Toyota has corrected this problem on the newer models but mine was beyond the warranty even though they admit to a defect. Included in the parts list is some sort of water deflector so that this will not happen again. Toyota said that there has not been enough complaints to warrant a recall. I live in upstate new york where salt is used on the roads and it is advisable to wash under the vehicle. Also, it does rain on occasion and water is splashed up under the car. I now have 57000 miles on the car with no chance of passing inspection. I was told that in the event of a recall, i could be entitled to a refund. I think that most people would not bother to lodge a complaint so no chance of a recall. |
