Engine is suddenly jolty and jumpy immediately after starting, and bumpy especially at an idle but also higher speeds, in any direction of movement. Check engine light is flashing, and then solid, then back to flashing (repeat) but every diagnostic test done just reads "error."

What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 scion xa. While driving various speeds, the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle failed to accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. In addition, the gear shifter made a loud noise while driving in reverse. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 49,000.
2006 scion xa check engine light with diagnostic codes: p2401, p043e, p043f, p2419, p2402 indicating "evaporation leak/emission problems." there apparently are service bulletins out on this issue and toyota will not acknowledge that this is a widespread issue with the xa model. Toyota wants over $700 to repair a known defect and will not help with cost of repair. Toyota is charging consumers the cost of repairing a defective evaporation system in order to comply with epa standards therefore the federal safety agency should issue a recall of the defective product(s) - see tsb #: eg047-06.

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.
I own a 2006 scion xa and like many others, have had to replace the charcoal canister, etc. The check engine light came on again, and again the codes say it is the same problem. Why does toyota get away with this? It seems like a class action suite to me!!! Thieves!!!
Bought a 2006 scion xa that previously had the charcoal canister assembly and fuel filler pipe cover replaced under tsb eg047-06. Cel was on when I bought the car, and the codes p043e, p043f, p2401, p2401, p2419 indicated the same components were damaged again. I replaced the components affected by the tsb, which included un updated part number for the fuel tank filler pipe cover holder (77248-52050). After clearing the codes, the car was fine for several thousands of miles until the cel came back on with the same codes. It doesn't make sense to continue replacing the charcoal canister every time these codes reappear. I cannot find any new information to indicate toyota has a permanent fix for this recurring issue, and I haven't come across any alternate fix on the internet that resolves it. I am contemplating some sort of work around to seal the canister and the electrical connections to prevent the water intrusion into the canister, but I also don't want to doing anything that will prevent the canister from functioning properly. I also don't want to ignore the cel in the event the cel stores other codes unrelated to this issue.
Check engine light came on, had it checked by an independent mechanic, who told me the related code indicated a problem with the emissions sensor. I took the car to the dealer and they charged me over $900 for a faulty charcoal filter. I have since come across this site http://www.arfc.org/complaints/2006/toyota/scion_xa/fuel_system_gasoline/problem.aspx detailing that this should have been a recall by the manufacturer because of a known defect., however it never was.
Tl* the contact stated that 2006 scion xa. The contact stated that while driving at 35 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the failure was in the fuel/propulsion system. The vehicle was repaired, however the failure recurred. The details of the repairs were unknown. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 94,000.
I own an 2006 scion xa and I having trouble to start the engine when it's get warm or normal operating temperature. When the engine is cold like on mornings it star right away with a few cranks but after it's gets warm I to crank times stop cranking and crank it again until engine start, cars run fine and got no check engine code on it.
I own a 2006 scion xa. I have had to replace three of the electric window controls, and the emission system keeps having problems. Check engine light keeps going on. This happens when the vehicle is running, in motion and stationary.
The check engine light came on had canister replaced this is the second time it has come on and told the same part needs replacing it has been approx 5 years water keeps getting in the canister notified toyota nothing they can do this is not cheap to replace.
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.
