Jere-

how long was your xb in the shop for the gas tank thing?

I need to take mine in for an oil change, gas tank thing, and that annoying buzz at 4k rpm..and whatever other problem there may be a tsb for...

 

LOL,that was me today while fillin up,need to take the BOP to get the TSB,ASAP-----

 

ummmmmmm yea, i'm going to need your tps report

 

Ok, I took my 05 xB in to the dealer for the annoying pump thing. I am able to get gas in the car, but it does keep clicking about every 50 cents or so. At one point I had the attendants tell me that my gauges were broken. I have been to about 10 or 11 different gas stations in my area, and the same thing happened in each of them. The dealer told me that there was nothing wrong with my car, and that we would just have to "play it by ear"......

I got my car at Scion of Morristown, in NJ. Apparently, they have never heard of this problem before.....no one had ever come in requesting service like I did. What they told me to do is to drain the tank to about 1/4 tank, and then if I go to fill it, and it does the same thing, stop immediately and bring the car in. Now why the hell couldn't they tell me to drain the tank before I came in? Now I have to waste another day from work to deal with this crap. And they said that if they still can't find anything wrong with it, there is nothing they can do, and that if it keeps happening, oh well......they didn't actually say "oh well".....but that is basically the attitude they had.

My question is, where have those of you who had this problem fixed actually get your car? Scion asked if I would somehow try and find out some of the dealers that this has happened at already. I'm not sure if I believe that they have NEVER heard of this before, but what the hell am I supposed to do? They could say whatever they want and I'd probably believe it.

 

Just tell them you want TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) # EG049-04. They should be able to look this up themselves but sometimes you have to light a fire under thier ___.

 

Take this number to them and tell them to pull their head out of their ****.

TSB EG049-04 November 19, 2004

Then ask to talk to the manager, tell him/her about the time you had to take from work. Then call Scion Customer Service and tell them about the situation and how it was handled.

 

Yeah, go to the Scion Customer Sevice site and report it and they will send you a free t-shirt. They sent me one whn I complained about the dealership not feeling my tank back up after doing the TSB.

 

mine has the same problem.

 

Here's a list ofmost of the TSB's:

I went through this list last week and have already made my appointment for next Saturday. They'll also be addressing at least a couple of the hundred or so rattles this thing has.

 

it happened to me after 7 months...wow its been that long.. maybe it was the station in my case..if it happens again..im going in.

 

I should be getting mine done this week sometime...hasnt been a major problem but I'd rather just get the TSB taken care of...

Thank you to everyone who answered my question about this TSB thing. Now I can take that TSB# right to them. I would like to hear them say then that they still never heard of this before. That sounded a little strange that no one there knew what I was talking about. They looked at me like I sprouted a 2nd head or something.

Since I live in NJ, I still get my gas pumped by someone ......and I had to put gas in today until I can find time to go to the dealer. I could only put $5.00 worth in, because the entire time the pump was in, it had to be held and was a constant click......it's freakin' annoying

But thanks to you all for helping me out......much appreciated :D

 

And I thought I just sucked at pumping gas

 

I can't ride my car off a cliff. I spent all the money I have buying it
Plus I love it too much. It just sucks having to deal with sh*t like this. I got rid of my VW because it was 5 years of constant pain, and I was so hoping this would be different.

 

Newb, be gentle. 2005 xb, 81,000 miles, unable to fill tank because it keeps clipping out as if the tank was full. VSC light, check engine light on. Spoke with Scion and they said the tsb did not mean they would fix. Parts only have 3yr warranty.
Toyota dealer said they were going to start by replacing evap canister $435 then explore replacing tank and filler pipe. Took the car to an independent and they said all 3 need to be replaced.. tank $675 and filler pipe $250. Is anyone else having these issues late in the game...? It's been a great car. Bummed I have to throw down huge money to get fixed when it seems to be a flaw on scions part.

Scion claims they need to have more people call out these issues to warrant a recall. 866.707.2466

 

Mine is 8 1/2 years old with 230,000 miles and i never had this happen to me.

 

I have that problem when I am pumping @ stations that have a very fast gas pump...like WAWA.
But if I am @ a slow one, it fills up fine.
