Repeated resetting of fuel gauge to full without filling the gas tank. Have reported this problem and dealer tried to remedy but apparently not fixed. Truck filled on 9/18/24 and everything normal.

Your fuel gauge resets to show 3/4 to full tank every time you start the truck, even when the tank is actually half full or nearly empty, making it impossible to know your true fuel level while driving. This is a recurring issue Toyota has been unable to fix since the 2022 model year, and running out of gas unexpectedly at highway speeds could cause loss of power steering and create a dangerous accident situation. The fix will likely involve Toyota diagnostics of the fuel level sensor and instrument cluster, possibly requiring sensor replacement or a software update to the gauge system.

Your fuel gauge is showing inaccurate readings, especially when your truck is parked on an incline—it may display a full tank when the tank is actually only three-quarters full. This caused you to run out of fuel on the highway. The dealer has been notified but hasn't provided a solution. The issue may require recalibration or replacement of the fuel gauge sender unit in the fuel tank.

Your fuel gauge randomly resets to show a full tank when you park the truck, even though you know you have less than half a tank. This could trick you into thinking you have more fuel than you actually do, risking you running out of gas without warning. The issue appears to be a faulty fuel level sensor or instrument cluster software that needs to be diagnosed and repaired by a technician.

Your fuel gauge is displaying inaccurate readings — it shows the tank as full even when it's only half full, and resets to full whenever you park on an incline regardless of actual fuel level. This creates a safety concern since you might run out of gas unexpectedly while driving at highway speeds. The issue likely involves replacing or recalibrating the fuel level sensor in your fuel tank.

Your fuel gauge and distance-to-empty display reset to show a full tank when you park on an incline with the nose pointing upward, even though you've already driven 40-70 miles. This false reading can happen multiple times over a few days and won't correct itself unless you refill or park on flat ground. This is dangerous because you or someone borrowing the truck might assume the tank is full when it's actually much lower, risking running out of fuel on the highway.

Your fuel gauge is displaying full when your tank actually contains only half to three-quarters of fuel. This means you might run out of gas sooner than the gauge indicates, potentially leaving you stranded. The dealer or Toyota customer service will need to diagnose whether the issue is with the gauge sender unit or the instrument cluster display.
