Tank Filler Pipe And Cap problems of the 2002 Toyota Camry

: the contact stated while driving various speeds, the check engine light illuminated without incident. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who determined the fuel filter needed to be cleaned and the fuel filler cap needed to be replaced. In addition, it was determined the fuel filter was corroded due to oxidization of the fuel filter material. The manufacturer was notified.

I noticed gasoline dripping from the rear of my 2002 Toyota Camry le at the rate of about a drop per second while it was parked with the engine off. The car had not been run for a day and a half and had about 3/4 of a tank of gas in it. The gasoline was dripping near the middle of the rear axle, about 2 inches from the exhaust pipe. I was afraid to start the car and after clearance by the local fire department, had it towed to a Toyota dealer for repairs. The Toyota dealer determined that the vacuum valve assembly had failed and that the charcoal canister assembly was filled with fuel. They replaced both the vacuum valve assembly and the charcoal canister assembly. I do not have the old parts. I had to pay for the full cost of the repairs as Toyota said that my car was beyond the warranty period.

January 31,2005 dear Toyota customer representative: I have been a Toyota owner and buyer since 1976. I purchase a new Toyota about every two or three years. I presently have a 2002 Camry xle that a purchased new from stevens Toyota, hunting station,NY 11746, tel # 631-423-5013 in 2002. The vehicle has reformed very great with little or no problems as all my pasted Toyotas. The other morning I went is open my gas filler cap and the cap broke in three pieces leaving one piece still in the filler line and the other two pieces in my hand. I was able to get the piece off and fill the car with gas after a period time. I have not replaced the gas cap has of this time. I believe that totota has a problem wiht the manufacturing of the gas filler gas filler cap. Did Toyota recall their gas caps or replacing them under a good customer relations policy? vehicle id # jtdbe30k220051130 model #2540a Camry hoping to hear from you before I purchase my next Toyota.
