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!!!

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.

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.

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 federal safety agency should issue a recall of the defective product(s) - see tsb #: eg047-06.

Started up the car and smelled a strong smell of gas. Discovered that the fuel line had ruptured spewing fuel onto the engine causing a potential fire hazard or explosion. Thank god we stopped the engine immediately or we would have been incinerated once we had reached highway speeds and engine was hot. Vehicle is now not safe to drive and has to be towed in for repairs.

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).

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.
