FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AGO, I HAD EXITED FROM THE FREEWAY AND CAME TO AN INTERSECTION. AS I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO DRIVE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, THE CAR STALLED. I TURNED THE IGNITION TO THE "OFF" POSITION AND PUT THE CAR IN "PARK" INORDER TO ATTEMPT TO RE-START THE CAR. THE CAR CONTINUED TO CRANK EVEN WHEN I TOOK MY HAND OFF OF THE IGNITION. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO TOYOTA TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. INVOICE INDICATED THAT BATTERY WAS CHANGED AND THAT TECH PERFORMED ECM CALIBRATION AND FUEL INJECTOR SERVICE. ONE MONTH LATER, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 55 MILES AN HOUR AND MY ACCELERATOR WENT OUT AGAIN. THE CAR ROLLED DOWN THE FREEWAY UNABLE TO ACCELERATE UNTIL I MANAGED TO STEER THE CAR TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND PULLED OVER. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR. AGAIN, (LIKE IN THE FIRST INCIDENT) THE CAR CONTINUED TO CRANK WITHOUT STARTING. I AGAIN HAD THE CAR TOWED TO TOYOTA FOR CAR SERVICE. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE SERVICE TECH DID TELL ME TODAY THAT HE BELIEVES THE PROBLEM MAY BE WITH THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, BUT NOT SURE. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED THOROUGHLY AS THIS CAR HAS STALLED (WITHOUT WARNING) ON ME TWICE WHILE ON THE ROAD, ONCE IN AN INTERSECTION AND ONCE ON THE FREEWAY, WHICH PUTS MYSELF, MY FAMILY, AND OTHERS AT HIGH RISK FOR A COLLISION. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROX. 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING WITHOUT ANY PRIOR NOTICE OF AN ISSUE. NEEDED TO CROSS, BE COASTED ACROSS 3 LANES OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FREEWAY TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. CAR WOULDN'T START, APPEARED THAT BATTERY WAS LOW ON POWER. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE WOULDN'T START AFTER NEW BATTERY INSTALLED, TECH INDICATED FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM. AFTER $400 COST TO INVESTIGATE PROBLEM, DETERMINE THAT THE CAR WAS OUT OF FUEL EVEN THOUGH TANK STILL REGISTERED AT LEAST A 1/4 OF A TANK. SERVICE REP. INDICATED THAT THE MECHANISM TO DETECT FUEL LEVEL WITHIN THE TANK HAD BECOME STUCK AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WILL HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 4 YEARS NEXT MONTH AND IT HAS LESS THAN 35,000 MILES. SCION ONLY PROVIDES A 3 YEAR / 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. I AM PLANNING TO CONTACT TOYOTA TO SEE IF THEY WILL COVER ALL OR PART OF THE REPAIRS. *TR
