Engine check light on due to small leak in evaporation control. Toyota dealer inspection determined leaking filler tube. Cost to replace $350+. How many of these complaints are necessary before this is recognized as a defect?
2003 Toyota Tundra fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 23 of 23, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Check engine light came on and dealer advised the fuel filler tube had to be replaced for several hundred dollars. This seems to happen in most 2003 tundra according to research. Because truck has 136,000 miles, dealer refused to provide any help with cost of labor or parts. Dealer did acknowledge this has been a problem for 2003 models. So much for toyota dependability.
Check engine light always on giving gas codes. After extensive research this is a common problem with 2003 toyota tundras. Mine has been on my truck for 3 years since I bought it, and I constantly need to get it reset, until I decide to pay to get it fixed.
Tl-the contact owns a 2003 toyota tundra. The contact began to smell gasoline inside the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where they were unable to diagnose the failure. The failure continued so the vehicle was taken back to the authorized dealer where a leak was found along the welding within the fuel tank. The fuel tank was replaced. The failure mileage was 52,754 and the current mileage was 54,754. Sm.
Engine check light. During emission inspections it was determined that a repair was necessary. Cracked fuel filter was replaced. Total cost of repair $320.
My 2003 toyota tundra had a check engine light come on. Diagnostic codes pointed to the fuel filler tube and air pressure tests by my personal mechanic (not a toyota dealership) proved that there was a crack in the fuel filler line. The mechanic states that they see this happening in many toyota's they work on. They suggested mentioning this to toyota directly, so when I go in for my other recall (severe corrosion of the rear cross-member) I am going to bring the original fuel filler tube that I had to replace for $300. I also see complaints being filed from other tundra owners about this same issue happening to them.
Tl*the contact owns a 2003 toyota tundra. The contact noticed that the main frame of the vehicle was perforated due to severe rust corrosion. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection and they replaced the rusted fuel tank filler neck. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer on a separate occasion. The technician detected a rusted brake backing plate, and the front and rear brakes were replaced. In addition, four new tires were mounted on the vehicle. The technician was unable to perform a tire alignment due to the significant frame damage. The VIN was unable to be entered into the system. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 62,000.
There is a flawed design of the fuel filler neck causing the check engine light to come on. Service advisor stated that it was a known problem but because my warranty was out, they would not cover the repair which ended up costing me $462.32. My mileage is only 14,500.
I took my 2003 toyota tundra in to toyota motors, guam because I had a check engine light. Toyota then sent a message to my vehicle service contract, warrantech automotive inc and they said that the fuel filler neck hose assembly was not covered. Reading information on the internet indicates that this is a common problem with the 2003 toyota tundra due to a "out of round" gas filler tube. There should be a recall on this part. Please assist consumers like myself for toyota motors to investigate this defect with the 2003 toyota tundra. The word needs to get out.
Fuel tank filler was giving as the reason of my trucks problem before it was looked at by a technician. I was told that this was a common problem with these trucks. The fault would cause the emissions system to fail and therefore would also be a hazard because it could cause a fire at the time the truck was being filled or from escaping vapors. The part was (is) being replaced and is costly to the consumer.
There is a flawed design of the fuel filler tube causing an intermittent check engine light. This is a known problem that toyota has with its 2003-2004 tundras. The problem affects fuel vapor emissions from the gas tank. They offer no support once one is out of warranty even though they are aware of their faulty design/build of this part.
While driving at approximately 60 MPH vehicle caught on fire. The fire was discovered after about 45 minutes of driving, and it was between the cab and the bed of the vehicle. Owner contacted the manufacturer, and was told that they would look in to it. *ak.....
