| Description of the problem | While driving the truck to las vegas aug, 2018 was passing a line of semi's going to slow after passing about 3 of them the engine just stopped running, had to get to side of road fast, after making it there the truck would not start again. After an hour or so it started. Made it to vegas. The same thing happened several times since that day also there is no warning lights such as "check engine" light that came on. This truck was bought new in 2008, when the first time that happened it had 29080 miles on it, i don't drive it that much as i am retired so don't drive as much as i did before. That trip to vegas could have been all to different had i not been able to get off freeway, because the stearing at 70 mph is not too good, could have been bad accident for my wife and myself, and others that may have been involved. Toyota dealer said he never heard of a problem like that when i called them. Have searched several web sites and found complaints with same problem therefore i believe toyota knows about it but refuses to repair their problem. Maybe they need a high total of deaths before fixing their problem. I think its a fuel pump problem or related to the engine. |
