I own a 2006 Scion Xa. I bought the car new off of the show room. After 5 months of owning the car the check engine light came on. I took the car back to the dealership that it was purchased from. They checked it with the code reader. The codes were P2401- evap leak detection pump stuck on, P043E- evap leak detection orifice low flow, evap leak detection pump stuck off, P2419- evap pressure switching valve stuck on, P043F- evap leak detection orifice flow high. The dealer replaced 4 parts fuel tank filler pipe cover, filler pipe cover holder, charcoal caniste, and charcoal canister filter. They replaced the parts at no charge. I drove the car for almost 2 years and now the light has come back on for the same codes. I now have to replace the same four parts in a car that is less then 3 years old.

The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Scion Xa. While driving 5 mph, the vehicle accelerated to 15 mph. The brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle would not stop and crashed into a tree. The vehicle was restarted and the throttle was fully engaged. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and they stated that the failure was due to the aftermarket rostra cruise control switch. The failure previously occurred without a crash and the dealer previously recommended that the cruise control be disconnected. The cruise control was not disconnected because the dealer stated that the failure had been repaired. The failure mileage was 13,200 and current mileage was 13,200. Updated 3/4/08 updated 03/04/08
