2005 TOYOTA COROLLA User Comment / Complaint

We bought a 2005 toyota corolla in july of 2004. we have been extremely happy with the way the car runs mechanically never having any issues. our vehicle is currently at 40,310 and we are experiencing a failure with the charcoal canister. in order to pass emissions for the state of nc we have to replace this particular part. since our car is no longer covered under our basic 3 year, 36,000 mile warranty we are having to replace this part on our own. this is very discouraging since our vehicle is only 4,000 miles over our basic warranty coverage. this problem has occurred with many other toyota corolla vehicles around the same mileage. we feel this needs to be looked into because it seems odd that the charcoal canister fails around this mile marker in numerous vehicles. this is a component of the car the contributes to keeping our air clean. toyota is failing to provide a car that will do so.
