    The dashboard is showing check engine light. The dealer told me that the charcoal canister and vsv have to be replaced. I feel toyota [redacted], is aware of the problem with this canister and is deliberately ignoring instead of recall or free parts and labor. I found a similar kind of issues raised by other corolla owners on the net. Please do the necessary investigation in this matter. *nm
