    I was driving down the road when the 'check engine' light came on. I took it to the dealer to see what the issue was and they stated it was a leak in the gas cap and that i didn't have cap tight enough. On the way home from the dealer the 'check engine' light came back on, so i took it back to the dealer. They stated that the fuel filler neck needed to be replaced and it's not covered under warranty. *tr

    Check engine light came on and dealer advised the fuel filler tube had to be replaced for several hundred dollars. This seems to happen in most 2003 tundra according to research. Because truck has 136,000 miles, dealer refused to provide any help with cost of labor or parts. Dealer did acknowledge this has been a problem for 2003 models. So much for toyota dependability. *tr

    My 2003 toyota tundra had a check engine light come on. Diagnostic codes pointed to the fuel filler tube and air pressure tests by my personal mechanic (not a toyota dealership) proved that there was a crack in the fuel filler line. The mechanic states that they see this happening in many toyota's they work on. They suggested mentioning this to toyota directly, so when i go in for my other recall (severe corrosion…
