Any update on fuel gauge fixes?

its the wife daily driver, she pays for it so its her call. we are hoping toyota brings back a lighter shade of blue again and we are swapping our 23 for a new plat tundra.

i prefer 4Runners, never did care for trucks. she was hooked on toyota trucks ever since i got her first one.

she had

87 Cressida
89 Toy Truck 2wd
91 Cressida
93 Paseo
06 Taco AC v6
09 Rav4 v6
12 Taco DC v6
16 Taco DC Sport
18 Tundra CM Platinum 5.5ft 4x4
23 Tundra CM Platinum 5.5ft 4x4 Non Hybrid

she hated the years she didnt have a truck, but after getting the 2012 tacoma she refused to go back to anything but a truck

 

she's a keeper, HA

 

I have the same issue with my 2023 limited non-hybrid that was manufactured in 22. My complaint of parking overnight on an incline with a 3/4 full tank and starting it up the next morning to have a full tank reading fell on deaf ears. I made multiple complaints to two different dealerships regarding this issue only to be told that it is "normal" or have the service personnel tell me about how it happens to other manufacturer vehicles. I really dislike it when a concern is underplayed by a service writer or tech... I started to park my truck on the (level) street to avoid the issue since it became a regular annoyance.

Only recently since it has been snowing in Ohio I started to park the truck on the driveway to avoid being hit by a snow plow and have been using my odometer as my gauge to fill up since the fuel tank has been misreading again now that I am parking on an incline.

Somewhere on this forum, I read the 2024 and newer models had two fuel tank sensors, whereas 22 and 23 models only had one. (I believe it was a post by Ryan Gregg before he was banned). I am not sure if anyone can verify that? If this is true and 2024 models are still having this issue, it seems like the software issue has not been fixed.

 

Rumor was 2024’s were getting two sensors but it never happened. This has been an issue since day one so I wouldn’t get any hopes up for Toyota to fix it. I read on FB that 2025’s are doing it as well.

 

My late 2024 had this issue as well. As usual the dealer initially said they never heard of it before but eventually they changed the fuel sending unit. So far it’s been good.

 

Yes, that two sensor comment was someone’s idea for a fix. It never happened and 24’s all have the same issue. I’m convinced it’s a software issue.

 

I can confirm in my case that this b̶u̶g̶ feature only happens when the truck is parked on an incline with the nose up. I am thankful that that I don't have to pay 5.99 monthly to use my gauge cluster though.

 

Updating the thread with another record: 2024 Limited (built date: 8/24) with 7,300 miles. Noticed today abnormally positive DTE and almost full tank of gas, despite already driving almost 200 miles since last fill-up. While the truck lives on a flat driveway at home, we did park over the weekend at the friends' house that was indeed on an incline (nose was up). I suspect that that was a trigger.

Did successfully performed the reset (ODO button worked on the digital cluster). Will keep an eye out; hoping for this to be an isolated incident (with no official fix as of yet). While annoying I am trying not to get super upset about: as long as I remember to clear the TRIP A/TRIP B counter, I should be ok as far as the range goes and when to fill up next in order to avoid getting stranded.

 

My 2024 has the same build date. I’ve had no issues since the dealer changed the fuel sending unit under warranty.
