Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Vehicle stalls and dies on highway almost causing wreck. find out there is no fuel in tank even though fuel gauge reads 1/3. 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, but my vehicle currently have 72545 miles and out of warranty so toyota will not pay for fix. no engine, no steering, no brakes, lots of traffic. i am in the navy and will be driving from florida to san diego next month enroute to japan in october. i called toyota corporate and they said they know about it but since it's only a tsb and not a recall, they can't do anything to fix it unless i pay for it myself. these are known defects since the truck got out of the tahara plant in japan for sale to the u.s.
