TSB EL010 Fuel gauge problems

Regarding 1999 and 2000 fuel gauges. At the bottom of this page you will find TSB EL010. Please review it and if your 4Runner is on the VIN list and exhibiting problems, please fill out the DOT complaint form

NHTSA got Audi to recall their defective gauges. Lets get ours fixed too, and get our taxes to work for us!

With enough of us filing complaints we should get their attention:

System: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
Make: TOYOTA
Model: 4 RUNNER
Year: 1999
Complaint Number: 10000216
Summary:
VEHICLE STALLS AND DIES ON FREEWAY ALMOST CAUSING WRECK. FIND OUT THERE IS NO FUEL IN TANK EVEN THOUGH FUEL GAUGE READS 1/2. TOYOTA SAYS TSB EL010-00 ADDRESSES KNOWN DEFECTIVE 1999 AND 2000 FUEL GAUGES AND ALSO ADDRESSES SOME GAUGES INACCURATELY READING EMPTY WHEN 4 GALLONS REMAIN, BUT MY VEHICLE IS A FEW MONTHS AND MILES OUT OF WARRANTY SO TOY WILL NOT PAY FOR FIX. NO ENGINE, NO STEERING, NO BRAKES, LOTS OF TRAFFIC....
