Gas tank filler neck made of partial plastic. Won't seal with gas pump nozzle. Must use two hands to pump gas. One hand holding handle while other hand must hold nozzle applying pressure to create a seal to pump gas. Something lucky able to set handle on auto fill, but very loose seal and would pop out with the lightest vibration and handle fall out of fill neck spilling a lot of gasoline on the ground. Happen at 3 different gas station. One time spilling gas on ground was with healy brand nozzle.

"takata recall" case # 1607202446 I have been given a loaner vehicle since September or October of last year through wolfchase Toyota in germantown TN. Even though I live in southaven, ms. It will soon be a year that my personal vehicle will be sitting with no usage. The damages to my vehicle's gas tank, fuel pump, battery, paint, tires, fluids, rust, oil, brakes, rotors, plugs, and maybe more could occur while sitting so long. There are no other solution being given other than a loaner vehicle that has to be renewed every 30 days, about 45 miles away from my home. However, my other concern is that once my personal vehicle is fixed the repercussions from it sitting for so long will cause for me to have even more safety problems that will not be warrantied. One solution that could be offered would be to maybe first provide an extended warranty on the parts that are being affected, because of the damages caused while the vehicles are sitting. Another solution could be to provide a certified inspection on each vehicle before being released back to the customer. Or the last suggestion is to maybe provide the customer with a set amount to go towards a new vehicle so they won't have to deal with the stress of the loaner. I fear that one safety issue will be taken care of only to be replaced by many more. My family is very valuable to me, and I financially cannot afford to buy a new vehicle or to even replace all the parts that can be damaged to my vehicle for sitting for such a long period of time. Please let me know what can be done.

After filling the gas tank and driving up a hill the check engine light (cel) came on and the engine ran rough. I nursed the car up the hill and drove home. I found the gas cap was not tight even though it had been clicked one time when the tank was filled just a few minutes earlier. A search for this on the internet revealed that others have had this same problem. I tightened it to one click, of course. A few days later I bought a Toyota gas cap at a local Toyota dealership. This sequence repeated multiple times; cel turned on, engine runs rough, lose of engine power. In one instance I was passing a car on a four lane highway when the engine hesitated and the cel turned on. In another instance I was turning left to go slowly up a steep hill when it happened again. In every instance the gas cap was loose. It happened once when I started the engine in a parking lot. I've come to the point of checking the gas cap to be sure it was tight every time before I start the engine. In early 2015 I bought another new Toyota gas cap at a Toyota dealer. It's now March 31. This same sequence of events. . . Cel comes on, engine runs rough, lose of power for about 15 seconds. . . Has happened about 12 times with this newest gas cap in less than three months. I always tighten the gas cap to the first click as it should be. This can be dangerous if it happens when we need maximum engine power, as in passing. A search on the internet shows that others have had this same problem. Comments on buying new Toyota gas caps at amazon show that still others are struggling with this. I can understand fair wear and tear on the "o" ring in the cap. But when two new caps come loose after being clicked as instructed then something is not right. Mechanics at the dealership don't have a good answer for this.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated that there was a loud noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and it was determined that a plastic part of the fuel strap mounting bracket failed and allowed the fuel tank to bang against the heat shield. The vehicle was repaired but the remedy failed. The failure mileage was 85,438 and the current mileage was 85,600.

While driving, a strap on the fuel tank and the catalytic converter heat shield both, simultaneously, became loose and began rattling terribly. I continued driving the car in order to get home, a distance of about 200 miles, with the loud noise continuing throughout. I thought the heat shield was loose, which it was, but I did not realize the fuel tank strap had failed, or I would not have continued driving because of the danger of fire. I took the car to the dealership. They showed me that the strap and the shield were both loose because bolts holding them in place had rusted through. This car is not old nor is it driven very many miles. The dealer replaced the strap and the shield at a cost of $476.
