There was a thumping noise in rear when coming to a stop and pulling off from a stop. Gas is shifting around in gas tank. The noise was prominent. The service manager agreed that the vehicle was in need of a new tank. The order was placed for a new tank but was cancelled by a representative because it would mean that Toyota admits there is a problem with the fuel tanks on these vehicles. The problem, because the tank couldn't be replaced, became much worse. Consumer is no longer in possesion of the vehicle.
