1999 Toyota 4 Runner

VEHICLE STALLS AND DIES ON HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING WRECK. FIND OUT THERE IS NO FUEL IN TANK EVEN THOUGH FUEL GAUGE READS 1/3. 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 CURRENTLY HAVE 72545 MILES AND OUT OF WARRANTY SO TOYOTA WILL NOT PAY FOR FIX. NO ENGINE, NO STEERING, NO BRAKES, LOTS OF TRAFFIC. I AM IN THE NAVY AND WILL BE DRIVING FROM FLORIDA TO SAN DIEGO NEXT MONTH ENROUTE TO JAPAN IN OCTOBER. I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE AND THEY SAID THEY KNOW ABOUT IT BUT SINCE IT'S ONLY A TSB AND NOT A RECALL, THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT UNLESS I PAY FOR IT MYSELF. THESE ARE KNOWN DEFECTS SINCE THE TRUCK GOT OUT OF THE TAHARA PLANT IN JAPAN FOR SALE TO THE U.S.

I BOUGHT A CERTIFIED USED CAR FROM A TOYOTA DEALER BACK IN SEP. 2002 FOR $24,000.THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME A MASTER KEY (MASTER KEY IS ONE OF THE INSPECTION POINT CHECK)AND THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME A CAR JACK.THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE.THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON JULY 10 2003 I LOOKED AT ENGINE AND UNDERNEATH THE CAR.I NOTICED THE POOR WORKMANSHIP ON FRONT AND REAR BUMPER,SOME MUDD GUARDS ARE MISSING AND THE VIN LABLES LOOKS LIKE IT WAS PEELED OFF BEFORE AND THE ONES ON THE DOORS AND HOOD DOESN'T LOOK AUTHENTIC.
