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

| 2000 toyota 4runner fuel gauge not working. toyota has issued a bulletin and basically redesigned the parts for a faulty system and expects the consumers to pay for their engineering problems. i don't think it's fair to have consumers pay 800 to 900 dollars as quoted from my dealer for a design flaw for toyota. | |||

| I recently bought this car and noticed that the fuel gauge is reading full tank. after driving the car for about 00 miles, my car stalled on me in the middle of a busy highway. only to find out that i was out of gasoline. i was lucky, i did not get hit. *tr | |||

| 2000 sport edition 4 runner, all working components and frame are badly rusted. nothing can be worked on without breakage of parts and bolts. there has been a recall on tacomas and tundras from the east coast where salt is used on the roads. customers have been given replacement frames or their vehicles have been purchased back from toyota. our car is from vermont and new york where i am sure they used road salt and this is why the untreated frames of these vehicles corroded so badly like our 4 runner. i believe toyota should give the same offer for the 2000 4 runner. my son worked for two years and at 18 years old purchased this vehicle for $9000.00. we were crushed when we realised the extent of rust damage on the underside of this vehicle. nothing can be repaired without huge expense, and every thing on the underside of this car needs replaced. where is toyota's customer care and satisfaction now? | |||

| Vehicle stalls and dies on freeway almost causing wreck. find out there is no fuel in tank even though fuel gauge reads 1/2. toyota says tsb el010-00 addresses known defective 1999 and 2000 fuel gauges and also addresses some gauges inaccurately reading empty when 4 gallons remain, vehicle is out of warranty. *jb | |||
