Consumer Description

AS OF 9/16/14 OUR 2006 RAV4 V6 CURRENTLY HAS 45,790 MILES AND WE JUST GOT A DIAGNOSTIC FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SERVICE THAT THIS PART IS DEFECTIVE A CHARCOAL CANISTER AND AN B1S2 O2 SENSOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT. ME AND MY WIFE LOVE THE SUV BUT WITH SUCH LOW MILES I WOULD NOT HAVE EXPECTED FOR THIS TO HAVE HAPPENED. FROM MY QUICK RESEARCH, I UNDERSTAND THIS COULD CAUSE MORE ENGINE DAMAGE IF NOT REPAIRED, I SEE A DECREASE IN MILES PER GALLON AND A ROUGH IDLING. I WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PART WHICH IS A CHARCOAL CANISTER AND THE O2 SENSOR. TOYOTA WANTED $1,303.00 TOTAL REPAIR AND FOR THIS LOW MILAGE VEHICLE IS NOT WHAT I EXPECT FROM A QUALITY VEHICLE. *TR
