I thought that it was the ECU that was causing same problem again which was a recall and was replaced because the engine light was on and rough shifting.
It took a long time to replace the ECU ever since I got the recall letter last year, and was only replaced when my cars engine trouble light came on and shifting was abrupt.
That happened and was corrected in February this year.

Now the gas filler pipe has a crack. How could that be? The car is only 6 years old and has only 63,905 KM. What’s next? Are Toyota now made to self destruct after five years which is the warranty limit?
Is this a manufacturing defect?

The car has only 63,905KM.
I believe the defect was already there the whole time from delivery but over time made it more pronounced.

I saw on the internet a copy of a Toyota Technical Service BULLETIN
Dated: August 23, 2006 #EG051-06
Title:
M.I.L. ON” DTC P0440, P0441, P0442,
P0446, AND/OR P0456
FUEL FILLER TUBE IMPROVEMENT
Models:
’03 – ’04 Corolla & Matrix (2WD), & ’05 Matrix (4WD)
Some 2003 – 2004 Corolla and Matrix 2WD and 2005 model year Matrix 4WD vehicles
may exhibit a M.I.L. “ON” condition with DTCs P0440, P0441, P0442, P0446, and/or
P0456 stored. An improved fuel filler tube has been developed to correct this condition.

Is this the same kind of fuel filler tube that was installed on my Matrix?

I am terribly disappointed. I had a 1993 Toyota Corolla for 11 years and the only trouble I had was the engine timing belt which had to be replaced after 9 years.

I am extremely careful with my cars and I always put the gas station filler nozzle carefully to the gas tank when I fill up.

I am enclosing copy of recall and dealer invoice showing error codes. Please provide me with an explanation. I want to know why I had to pay $555 for a problem that seems to be the subject of a recall by Toyota and which was never made known to car owners.
