I was driving at approximately 35mph when all of a sudden, there was a loss of acceleration and the engine just stalled in the middle of the road. I couldn't start it back up. There were no warning sign whatsoever and I didn't think it had anything to do with the fuel because it still read that I had a little under 1/4 of gas. Upon putting fuel, the car started back up. The problem appears to be a faulty fuel float or sensor and is fairly common problem based on the thread from www.fjcruiserforums.com. I think Toyota should put out a tsb on this or do a recall on this specific part. It's a very high safety concern when you're driving then all of a sudden your vehicle dies. This can definitely cause a fatal accident had this happened at a busier road.
2007 Toyota Fj cruiser. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle poor driving visibility and other multiple defects. The consumer stated he had difficulty seeing oncoming traffic at intersections. It appeared the decision to go with a half door on the vehicle with a short frame was the root cause of the poor visibility. Also, the inability to exit the vehicle from the back seat on the passenger side, was impossible without the front passenger opening the front passenger door first. The consumer also stated space left between the end of the roof and the beginning of the rear door drained so poorly that leaves and other natural debris would build up to the point that, when it rained, water would leak into the cargo area. Also, despite the claimed gas mileage reported on the window sticker (20 mpg) the consumer never achieved more than 17.1 mpg, even though the bulk of his driving was done on the highway.
