While having my 2000 4runner serviced recently, my mechanic advised me that my carriage frame was cracked and rotting. I took it to Toyota dealer in bristol ct, who put vehicle on hoist and confirmed the problem. I was advised there was no recall or tsb on my SUV, and probably nothing they could do. They said they would send info & pictures to district office for review and advise when they heard back. I asked them about fixing it in the meantime, but they said they couldn't accept the liability? I can email pictures if you want to review these as well. I am having it welded in the meantime, as the crack was rather severe. My mechanic and Toyota both advised that if the crack broke thru while driving, the rear axle would come loose from the frame. The estimate to fix my SUV is apx. $1,500, which includes replacing the gas tank under-shield, which looks like a chunk of swiss cheese as well. Please advise of any recourse I may have.

Fuel gauge is inaccurate, gives misleading information, may be too much or too little fuel remaining. This leads to frequent, unnecessary, gas stations stops.

2000 Toyota 4runner fuel gauge not working. Toyota has issued a bulletin and basically redesigned the parts for a faulty system and expects the consumers to pay for their engineering problems. I don't think it's fair to have consumers pay 800 to 900 dollars as quoted from my dealer for a design flaw for Toyota.

I recently bought this car and noticed that the fuel gauge is reading full tank. After driving the car for about 00 miles, my car stalled on me in the middle of a busy highway. Only to find out that I was out of gasoline. I was lucky, I did not get hit.
