Other Fuel System Fuel Gauge Problems of Toyota Prius

The fuel gauge and fuel sensor doesn't work in the 2008 Prius touring that I just purchased on July 09, 2019. The dealership that I purchased it from did not inform me of this issue at all. Now I see that this exact issue is happening to a lot of these particular year models. The reset for the faulty readings doesn't work either. . . Please do a recall for this issue!!! I am on disability and can not afford to pay for this defect!!! I'm afraid to go more than a few blocks in this car for fear of running out of gas. . . I have no clue how much gas is in this thing as it spits a lot of what I put in, back out when it suddenly overflows gas all over me. Are there other options available to help us owners???.

I am the owner of a 2004 Prius. After buying my car used 2 years ago I noticed that once in awhile the display, including fuel consumption, speedometer, odometer, and more, would not light up and that the car would not turn off easily several times I have been in situations where I have little gas an am unable to see my gas gauge or know how fat iam going on the highway. I understand that this was once covered by Toyota under the warranty extension but is not considered a safety concern. The warranty extension is expired. In what universe are a functioning fuel gauge and speedometer not considered a safety concern? I am also concerned that this will deteriorate further and cause an accident.

Parked car at night in colorado in February, 2015. Outside temperature was approx 25 degrees farenheit. We ate dinner at a restaurant, came out and started the 2006 Prius. Instrument cluster panel showeing the fuel gauge, odometer, shift position and speedometer failed to come on. Turned car off and on numerous times - no instrument cluster panel lights. The following morning, the instrument cluster panel worked fine. This has happened occasionally since the first incident in February. This is a safety concern; one is unable to tell which gear the vehicle is in, the speed of the vehicle, or how much fuel the vehicle has. After contacting Toyota, they told me the extended warranty had expired in December 2014. As a safety defect, Toyota should still be covering a known problem.

Vehicle does not achieve advertised fuel consumption performance. I have complained about this since the first service visit. Today a factory technician got unachievable results suggesting that our real world experience after 29,000 miles with the vehicle is normal. He claimed to have gotten 66. 984 mpg after a 42. 2 miles of 55 mph highway and "in town" driving, noting only that an out of fuel fault had never been cleared.

The fuel indicator malfunctions during the winter months. It starts to show empty gas tank when it is 1/2 full. This problem goes away when temporature rises. Toyota is aware of this problem and tells us that this is probably due to bad gas tank design. There is no solution to this problem for over one year and Toyota is not willing to fix this issue.

Vehicle would run out of gas, but the fuel gauge indicator would read that there was still enough fuel in the fuel tank. Dealer notified.
