| Description of the problem | The fuel gauge incorrectly displays the fuel in the tank. For example i can drive 160 miles and the gauge has not moved since it was filled up. Further i drove over 600 miles and the fuel gauge indicated 1/4 but when i filled up the car it took 13. 6 gallons of gas. The tank capacity is 14. 5 gallons so that meant i only had 0. 9 gallons of gas yet the car showed 1/4 of the tank of fuel. This could lead to the car running out of gas before the car's fuel gauge indicated. This is a clear safety issue. I have had the car in for repair 4 times at the dealer but toyota refuses to correct the issue |
