Tank Filler Pipe And Cap Problems of Toyota Sienna

The fuel pipe from the tank to the engine on my 2004 Toyota Sienna le disconnected. I was driving with my kids and stopped at the light, our car being the first in the rightmost lane at a busy intersection. When the light turned green I pressed the accelerator but the car didn't move. I made several more attempts but it was in vain. The message on the screen panel appeared as a discharged battery, which at that moment puzzled me very much. I started looking around, making signs to the vehicles behind mine to try and get into the other lane as I can't start my car (there were few angry drivers). One stopped by me when the light turned red again and then said he smells gas. At the same time a woman and her older teenage daughter were running from across the street waiving and shouting 'get out of the car!'. She helped me and my kids get out and told us that while driving from the other side she saw when the gas gushed from under my car. Well the rest is known - 911, police, fire truck and my family scared and blessed to have escaped a horror. The car was towed to the dealer who told me that the pipe disconnected, they put it back and that they've never encountered this problem. When I asked about a warranty on this or a future sign to look for, the answer was it shouldn't happen, it can't. But it just did, right? I want to mention that the car has never been involved in any accidents and it's very well cared for. I had to pay for the repair over $100 which I'm guessing Toyota will never refund. I will forever be thankful to that woman and her daughter who quite possible saved out lives.

The contact owns a 2001 Toyota Sienna. When the contact attempts to add fuel to the vehicle, the gas pump would click as if the tank was full. However, the vehicle's fuel gauge indicated that the tank was empty. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and they changed the charcoal filter. The failure continued. The contact took the vehicle to an independent repair shop who was able to repair the failure. The shop replaced the fuel rollover valve. The contact stated that six months later, the failure recurred. The current and failure mileages were 61,000.

2001 Toyota Sienna le, purchased new, started having problems. "check engine" light came on when vehicle had approximately 25,000 plus/minus miles. Under warranty, Toyota dealership replaced the oxygen sensor without a charge. However, during this process, the "beep" signal you hear when locking-unlocking the vehicle with remote key was disappeared. This is also fixed under warranty. The "check engine" light came on again when the vehicle had about 35,000 miles. Toyota dealership said it is due to a dirty vacuum hose, they cleaned it with a charge little over $100. 00. The next day the "check engine" light came on again, this time the Toyota dealership said they need to replace the charcoal canister (parts free, but we have to pay labor--about $100. 00). This thing causes extreme mental distress, time, money, security etc.

My engine light is on and it all may be from the gas cap.
