| On a 2007 prius gas gauge showed 2 bars and was driving across a bridge in california when the gas engine stopped. looked at the gas gauge and it still showed 2 bars. was fortunate enough to be on a section of the bridge with a breakdown lane. 1/2 mile further on and we would have been stuck in one of the traffic lanes. the vsc, check engine, and hybrid system failure indicators where on - but not the low fuel!!! got towed to a dealer. service manager told us that the car was out of gas and that the gas gauge was stuck that's why it didn't show empty. he blamed it on the bladder design of the fuel tank and said it was a design defect that toyota new about. this is a significant safety issue - we could have been killed. *tr | |||
