Consumer Description

2006 SCION XA- CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AT 89K MILES; CODES INDICATED "EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM" ISSUES. BROUGHT TO THE DEALER; WAS TOLD CHARCOAL CANISTER NEEDED REPLACING AS THERE WAS WATER IN IT THAT SHORTED OUT A PURGE VALVE. DID A SEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND A TOYOTA TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB EG04706) THAT DESCRIBED RETROFITTING A NEW FUEL VENT TUBE COLLAR TO PREVENT WATER INTRUSION AND ALL SUBSEQUENT CARS AFTER A CERTAIN VIN GOT A NEW DESIGN. SINCE THE CAR IS WELL OUT OF WARRANTY I ENDED UP SPENDING $750 TO FIX. IF THE TSB WAS IMPLEMENTED EARLIER AS PART OF NORMAL SERVICING IT WOULD HAVE ONLY BEEN .5 HRS LABOR ADDING A SMALL PART (COLLAR) AT MUCH LOWER COST. THE FACT THAT TOYOTA LETS THE CONSUMER TAKE THE CAR TO FAILURE BEFORE RECTIFYING THE ISSUE IS JUST NOT RIGHT. *TR
