| Sudden loss of power when driving 1999 toyota 4runner sr5. fuel gauge reads full and vehicle stalls due to no fuel in tank. i have been able to verify that this is a known issue to toyota and that they have refused to correct the problem under warranty even though they have acknowledged that a problem with the part as delivered in this vehicle and they issued tsb:el010-00 titled fuel gauge inaccuracy to fix the problem only under warranty. this is not a warranty issue, but a safety issue as vehicle can run out of fuel and stall without warning at high rates of speed on congested highways. this issue has not been resolved. i have had to use the odometer to guess how much fuel is remaining the fuel tank at any given time. factors such as highway conditions, weather, necessary use of 4wd can impact the number of miles achieved in a single tank of gas. also, fuel tank must be filled to top when refueling to most accurately guess number of miles that can be driven before the vehicle stalls. *tr | |||
