2006 Toyota Sienna Fuel System Problems

MY NAME IS [XXX]I AM A QUADRIPLEGIC PARALYZED PERSON.I LIVE BY MYSELF WITH 24 HOUR CNA CARE. I WAS INJURED AT WORK ON NOV.2000 BY A GUN SHOT. I BOUGHT A VAN IN 2006.RIGHT AFTER ONE YEAR,I NOTICED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I TOOK MY VAN TO STEVENSON TOYOTA DEALER,AURORA,CO. AFTER DIAGNOSTICS,THEY FOUND GAS/OIL LEAKAGE FROM MY GAS CAP. THEY CHANGED GAS CAP,CLEARED THE CODE. 3 WEEK LATER,CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON.AGAIN I TOOK IT BACK,SAME DIAGNOSTICS,GAS LEAKAGE FROM GAS CAP.AGAIN CLEARED THE CODE FROM THEIR MACHINE. 2 WEEKS LATER,CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK. I TOOK MY VAN SEVERAL TIMES BACK TO THE DEALER BUT NEVER SOLVED THE PROBLEM. I PARK MY VAN AT A GARAGE. I'VE NOTICED THAT MY VAN IS TAKING LOTS OF GAS AND STRONG SMELL OF GAS IN GARAGE. I AM REALLY SCARED OF CAUGHT ON FIRE INSIDE THE GARAGE OR FIRE ON MY VAN. I AM TIRED OF PAYING LOTS OF MONEY I AM VERY LOW INCOME PERSON. NOW THEY ARE SAYING I'VE TO PAY WHOLE BUNCH OF MONEY THAT I CAN'T AFFORD. THE PERSON I TALKED TO THE DEALER IS CON VO.HE IS VERY RUDE AND SAYING THAT HE CAN'T FIND MY VAN INFO. IN HIS SYSTEM BUT OTHER LADY I TALKED TO SAYS SHE CAN .AND MY DOOR IS HARD TO OPEN.I HEARD THAT THERE IS SLUDGE/OIL RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. SO I'D LIKE TO REQUEST YOU TO INVESTIGATE MY PROBLEM AND FIND A REASONABLE SOLUTION FOR THIS.THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU.

2006 TOYOTA SIENNA. CONSUMER MANUFACTURER DEFECT WITH FUEL TANK DESIGN. *TGW THE VEHICLE WAS MODIFIED FOR HANDICAP USE. THE DEALER MADE A CHANGE TO THE GAS TANK. HOWEVER, ANOTHER DEALER STATED THE WARRANTY HAD BEEN VOIDED. THE DEALER THAT MADE THE MODIFICATIONS, STATED THE WARRANTY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN VOIDED. THE CONSUMER STATED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IT WOULD STALL OUT WHEN COMING TO A STOP. NONE OF THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS COULD FIND THE PROBLEM UNTIL RECENTLY. THE VEHICLE ALSO KICKED BACK FUEL WHEN THE CONSUMER TRIED TO FUEL AN ALMOST EMPTY TANK. THE AFTER MARKET FUEL TANK WAS NOT DESIGNED PROPERLY WITH THE EVAP CANISTER, WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE CANISTER TO FILL FUEL AND PURGE SOLENOID TO FAIL. IT MAY ALSO ACCOUNT FOR A VAPOR LOCK THAT CAUSED THE CAR NOT TO FUEL. *JB
