Got an Innova last Jan 2008 and I was happy until June 4, 2008. Was cruising at about 20-30kph when it just stalled and I lost everything (power steering, acceleration) and the engine just went dead. Switched on to hazzard and prayed that no one was behind me. Started the engine again and it worked. Called Toyota today and I was told that since May 2008, they have received at least 8 complaints from D4D owners released this 2008 of stalling. Very disappointed but the manager explained to me the sudden increase in the occurence when they thought that they already solved the problem since last year. Their suspicion is that some petrol dealers have resorted to adultering with the mix i.e. putting kerosene to maximize profit. This started happening when prices of petrol went up almost every week (true or false i do not know).Again, this is a theory and I am giving them the benefit of the doubt and my cooperation. I have only gassed up with 1 station and that is Petron Donal Soledad here in Better Living since I purchased the unit. I have all the receipts to support this claim and they will now replace the supply pump tomorrow and get a sample of the diesel loaded. According to him, even if you flush the current load of diesel, it will not help as it has already contaminated the supply pump. They will then gather the data and try to take it up with the petrol companies provided that they have enough data and support.

Imagine if I was running at high speed and this happened? I am giving them the benefit of the doubt now but I hope that they may be right. Also, he advised me that it is also happening to some Ford and Kia units at this time (can anyone relate to this?).

I will keep you posted and I hope that I may still regain my confidence in this unit. My ride, a 2008 model G with 5100km reading A/T .
