Consumer Description

I TESTED FUEL TANK CAPACITY SINCE DRIVING RANGE HAS SUBSTANTIALLY DECREASED FROM NEW CAR STATUS. FUEL CAPACITY NOW 9.2 GAL, VERSUS 12.4 AT PURCHASE. THE FUEL BLADDER HAS SHRUNK, SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCING DRIVING RANGE. THIS SHRINKAGE OCCURRED BETWEEN 10/15/2005 AND 2/24/2011 WHEN I TESTED IT. I AM INFORMED BY TOYOTA THAT REPLACEMENT FUEL BLADDERS WILL ALSO GRADUALLY SHRINK. NO METAL FUEL TANK IS AVAILABLE AS A REPLACEMENT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR
