Driving along a two lane u.s. Highway at the posted speed, i noticed that my fuel gauge was showing fully empty, and the warning light was flashing. Pushing the odometer trip button, i noticed that i had not yet reached the mileage for a "normal" fill up, where i routinely get 20-21 mpg. At the end of that trip,when i turned the vehicle off and restarted it, the fuel gauge showed half full. Using the trip odometer,…

When driving at 70 mph, the vehicle vibrates on the highway. I have taken the vehicle constantly to the dealership for over two years complaining about this problem and they always told me that nothing was wrong. Today (5/10/14), the mechanic at the dealership put the truck on a rack and ran the car at 45 mph and there was visible vibration coming from the drive shaft and a loud noise that i could never hear from…

When my wife stepped on the gas to pull into a parking spot,the 4runner just lurched forward into a fence. Luckily no one was in front of the 4runner. The bumper and fence was damaged. She is now very scared to drive the 4runner. *tr

I came home last night at about 9:30 pm and parked the car in the garage. This morning at 7:30 am i went into the garage and heard a buzzing sound coming from near the rear wheels of the car. My best guess was the fuel pump was still running (i had a different problem with a fuel pump not running when the ignition was turned on with a 2000 jaguar about a year ago). I turned the ignition on and off without cranking…

While having my 2000 4runner serviced recently, my mechanic advised me that my carriage frame was cracked and rotting. I took it to toyota dealer in bristol ct, who put vehicle on hoist and confirmed the problem. I was advised there was no recall or tsb on my suv, and probably nothing they could do. They said they would send info & pictures to district office for review and advise when they heard back. I asked them…

This vehicle does not get anything close to the 22mpg highway miles per gallon as posted on the window sticker. The dealership tells me that the computer is faulty and does not calculate the mileage properly and that is the way they all are. But, i have all the receipts for every tank of gas purchased since new. This vehicle has only been getting 17.8 miles to the gallon on the highway on average. I've complained to…

After noticing ongoing problems with my fuel gauge on a 2006 4runner with less than 60k miles, we brought the car into the toyota dealer. When the toyota mechanic pulled the fuel pump assembly out of the gas tank, he discovered a burned and melted wiring harness that sits directly inside the tank. This is a significant safety concern that should be addressed as it deals with an unregulated amount of heat and…

Fuel gauge is inaccurate, gives misleading information, may be too much or too little fuel remaining. This leads to frequent, unnecessary, gas stations stops. *tr
