Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2000 toyota camry with 33,000 miles. the check engine light came on. dealer said it was codes po440 po441 and po446. they said i need a new "canister and control valve" and it will cost $600. as i understand it, this is some kind of charcoal filed canister that deals with emissions. it would seem that this is a non essential part. it would also seem that this would have few, if any, movable parts and should last the life of the car. this had to be a manufacturing defect and could not be related to use of the car or the driver. the manufacturer should stand behind this part and replace it on a car with so few miles. *la
