| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 toyota sequoia. Over the last two years the gas needle, on occasion fails to register the true level of gas in the tank. When i start the car, the needle reflects the tank is empty and the gas empty light is on. It takes approximately 10-15 minutes to correct. The first time it happened i immediately stopped to fill the gas tank. It took less than three dollars to top off the tank. After topping off, it still showed the tank was empty for at least 10 to 15 minutes. The latest incident was in june 2009. |
