A 2002 Toyota with 87,000 miles on it flunking an emissions test is pathetic especially when you consider they only warranty the emissions system for 80,000 miles. The last 2 years I had to put this vehicle in the shop to have the state inspection done because the check engine light was on. They had to reboot the computer to get it to turn off, and when I asked about why the light was on, they said it was a generic code and couldn't specify a problem. Now that the emissions system is out of warranty, they miraculously know what the problem is. My problem is not only with the vehicle, but also with the dealer. The emissions system on a Toyota of any kind should not be failing with only 87,000 miles on it. Toyota is supposed to be one of the best built vehicles on the road. I'll never buy another one.

This was a recall and I took it in to get fixed and now in August it is happening again.
