Consumer Description

AFTER NOTICING ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH MY FUEL GAUGE ON A 2006 4RUNNER WITH LESS THAN 60K MILES, WE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE TOYOTA DEALER. WHEN THE TOYOTA MECHANIC PULLED THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY OUT OF THE GAS TANK, HE DISCOVERED A BURNED AND MELTED WIRING HARNESS THAT SITS DIRECTLY INSIDE THE TANK. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS IT DEALS WITH AN UNREGULATED AMOUNT OF HEAT AND ELECTRICITY IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE GAS TANK. THE MECHANIC WROTE DOWN ON MY STATEMENT THAT HE, "FOUND FUEL PUMP WIRING HAS HEAT DAMAGE FROM [ELECTRICAL] ARCING." I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES AND WILL SEND THEM IF REQUESTED. THANK YOU. *TR
