| When driving my brand new fj cruiser it stalled and lost all power. i was forced to call a tow truck because it was on a secluded highway in the middle of the night. after getting it towed to a dealership they still have the vehicle and have diagnosed it as the fuel pump assembly and they are waiting for parts to be delivered. the vehicle was bought in 6/2006 and has less than 5000 miles on it. i was not given a replacement vehicle and was told i should have taken it to the dealership i bought it from in san jose, ca. after threatening not to pay for the tow-the tow truck company went to the dealership and demanded payment-it was issued on 8/14/06. *nm | |||
