Andrew and Paul, Thanks. This is good to know since I don't think anything has been fixed, so the issue may come back. Paul, yes, the mileage on...
Update: Spoke with 2 different toyota service techs. they both said it should be fine driving indefinitely with a broken gas gage (blinking 1-pip)...
Thanks WJTracy. I don't want to hurt the batteries. So has anyone out there run with a broken fuel gage? Stuck on 1 flashing pip? I was under...
That last fill up was around 10 gallons.
Yesterday, 12 miles after a complete fuel fill up, my 2006 fuel gage dropped to one flashing pip. How long can I drive like this before it shuts...
Thanks Fuzzy1. This helps, makes sense and is very good to know.
Thanks again!
thank you!
Wow, KhaPhoRa, You are awesome! Thanks for that. Great to know. And it makes sense that they would have a direct, all-mechanical backup. There is...

They seemed to take this all very seriously and professionally, and a Toyota case number was assigned (and "closed"), but they offered zero...
OK, I think I am getting it. And it's not great news. Yes, Prius' "brake by wire" system does have a hydraulic (mechanical) system, but that too...
Ed, There is some confusion perhaps if it was AM-1 or AM-2 fuse (the dealer finally said it was AM-2), and it did indeed shut down all power, the...
What about braking and steering if the AM-2 fuse blows again? Can I brake and steer indefinitely (without power steering and power brakes of...
Thanks for all the inputs. I have the car back now. $409 cost. I will file a NHTSA report to make sure that this is documented. Regarding the...
Yes. You'd think Toyota engineering would pick up this tab. It just doesn't seem right that ANY pump issue, should instantly, without warning,...
And they will send the suspect coolant storage pump to toyota for analysis. When I pick the car up today, the service dept will show me their...
