| Description of the problem | The fuel gauge doesn't go beyond 3/4 full, indicates that the gas tank is not full. Yet, all the gas pumps we used in he past 7 months click off -- indicating that the gas tank is indeed full. Trying to top the gas tank (to get the fuel gauge to show full) creates toxic and polluting gas spills that harm the people nearby and the environment. I filed a case number with my dealer and toyota on 10/18/2019. Toyota knows of this problem, no solution forthcoming as of now 12/22/2019. |
