FOR SEVERAL YEARS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WAS THE GAS CAP. OUR MECHANIC HAS TRIED MANY SOLUTIONS TO REPAIR THIS AND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS LATER, WE ARE NOW BEING TOLD IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM TO THIS VEHICLE - THE EVAPORATION VAPOR CANISTER. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, THIS PIECE WAS PART OF A LAWSUIT AGAINST TOYOTA THAT TOYOTA LOST. WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY OVER $400 FOR A PART SO THAT IT PASSES INSPECTION.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON DASH FLASHES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED NUMEROUS TIMES BY AN AUTHORIZED TOYOTA SERVICE DEALER AND THEY USED TO MESS WITH SOME WIRES UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT UNTIL THE LIGHT STOPPED FLASHING. THAT FIX LAST FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN THE FLASHING LIGHT RETURNS. THIS SITUATION HAS NEVER BEEN RESOLVED WHICH LEAVES ME TO WONDER IF I HAVE AIR BAG PROTECTION OR NOT. LUCKILY I HAVE HAD NO MAJOR ACCIDENTS ,FOR I SUSPICION THAT IF I DID THOSE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY. I NEED TO RESOLVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE !
