LEFT FRONT BRAKE CALIPER EXTREMELY RUSTED AND NOTICED SQUEAKING FROM SAME. ALSO EXTREMELY DIRTY RIMS FROM BRAKE DUST, REPLACED WITH NON CERAMIC PADS, BUT NO OTHER RIMS SHOWED SAME AMOUNT OF GRIT. TOOK IN FOR SERVICE AND INFORMED THAT ALL OTHER PADS HAD 20% LIFE AND LEFT FRONT CALIPER OUTSIDE LOWER PISTON WAS SEIZED AS WELL AS UNSERVICEABLE BLEEDER VALVE LEAVING NO OTHER OPTION THAN TO REPLACE WITH CALIPER. NOW, NOT ONE WEEK AFTER REPLACING CALIPER, NEW ONE IS ALREADY RUSTING WHILE ALL OTHERS LOOK FINE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DRIVING ON I-79 IN PASSING LANE AT 65 MPH, THE ENGINE QUIT, COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES..RUSH HOUR. MOST DANGEROUS THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD, TOWED TO GARAGE, ENGINE WILL NOT START, SHOWS A LITTLE OVER 1/2 TANK ON FUEL GAGE..ENDS UP, WAS OUT OF FUEL ! GAUGE GAVE FALSE READING. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 54,000 MILES ON IT. I DID FIND A TOYOTA TSB EL010-00 THAT ADDRESSES THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF IT. MY VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT FROM A TOYOTA DEALER WITH MY NAME AS THE NEW OWNER ON RECORD. THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS THING TO HAPPEN, NO INDICATION OF LOW FUEL LEVEL, NO FUEL LOW WARNING LIGHT,,GAUGE WAS SHOWING A LITTLE OVER 1/2 TANK. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS A RECALL. *TR
