November 1997 Injury

On at least four occasions while driving a highway speeds the vehicle completely shuts off. I managed to safely steer the vehicle to a safe area. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and they replaced the fuel pump resistor assemble(part $# 23080-76010). Since owning this vehicle I have paid for this repair, along with the towing charges, at least three times. This is indeed a safety issue and I have not been contacted by toyota so they can address this safety issue.
