2019 Toyota Tacoma FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

While driving at Highway speeds fuel pump failed resulting in near miss collision on Interstate. Initial fuel pump was replaced with recall. This is second pump that failed. Vehicle towed to Bob Tyler Toyota in Pensacola Fl where fuel pump replaced by owner. Toyota refuses to pay for pump even though class action lawsuit resulted in Toyota being responsible for reimbursement. Vehicle has only 36000 miles.

Fuel pump failure at 63k miles. Check Engine light came on. P0171 code thrown. Truck began hard starting, and rough idling. Stalled on freeway, stuck at 4k RPM and would not drop. Had to pull off and restart. Checked entire system with certified independent service/AAA mechanic and fuel pump was diagnosed. Fuel pump whines in tank, and fuel trim levels are way off... maxing out in output (39), and falling into the negatives in short term trim levels. All other components testing ok/within ranges. Massive recall on fuel pump for my exact same year/make/model/engine, but my VIN does not show as affected... clearly it has the same issue. I need this pump fixed ASAP, as does everyone else affected that did not get to be apart of the recall.

WELL THE VEHICLE HAS A MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER 20TA02 AND I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND STILL HAVEN'T TAKEN CARE OF IT FOR REASONS UNKNOWN.

To whom it may concern, I was issued a recall on this vehicle for a defective fuel pump. I have been attempting to rectify the situation through City World Toyota located at 3333 Boston Road, Bronx, NY 10469. On 7/1/2021 I spoke with Jorcelyn and was told the part needed to replace the defective component was not in stock and it would be ordered and available within a 4 weeks. I was told I would receive a call back and never did. On 8/9/2021, over a month later, I got in touch with Wasile and was again told the part was not in stock. I was told they would check and then call back the following day. Again, I never received a call back. On 8/12/2021 I called again and was told they do not have the part in stock and would call back with an ETA. It was been months since this recall was issued and City World Toyota has not rectified the issue. This vehicle has been unsafe to drive since the recall has been issued and I have been pleading with them to resolve it. The customer service standards as well as the regard for safety from City World Toyota has been abysmal. There is no doubt this establishment is blatantly ignoring these safety recalls for not only myself but many others as well.

LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN SIERRA VISTA, ARIZONA HAS STATED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND ARE NOT ORDERING THEM.

In October of 2020 they replaced the fuel pump then noticed a hose was bad it would take 2 months to get that hose.. Upon driving my vehicle I noticed an 4mpg lost. was getting 22 mpg prior to the change. I have been in contact w/toyota in Texas and they send a 'factory rep' to look at my truck. here is the problem he snapped a picture stating my truck got 28.6 mpg, upon getting into my truck it read 20.6 mpg. they refuse to replace the fuel pump and hose at another dealership. The secretary at toyota said if they would change and it didn't make a difference they would be wasteful. I said replace it and we will see however you say you not going with the customer the paid good hard earns money for this vehicle we will never know. all I want: is the have a new fuel pump and hose put into my Tacoma, it may not or it will prove there was a problem. I am see I am no alone with this reduction of mpg's with high gas prices.....

Received notice of a recall on the low pressure fuel pump in November 2020; still have not been notified to bring my truck in for repairs. I don't feel safe driving more than 20 or 30 miles from home as I don't want to be stranded if the fuel pump fails.

NHTSA RECALL ID: 20V682 - SAFETY RECALL 20TA02 (INTERIM NOTICE 20TB02), MULTIPLE MODEL AND MODEL YEARS, VEHICLE MAY STALL DURING DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEED. TOYOTA SLOW ON REMEDY AND NOT TAKING ISSUE URGENT AND NO SOLUTION. DANGER TO DRIVE.

TRUCK STALLED WHILE ON ON RAMP. I WAS MOVING AND JUST ABOUT TO MERGE ON HIGHWAY

2019 TOYOTA TACOMA IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS HAS BEEN TAKEN TO 2 DIFFERENT WORKSHOPS OF THE TOYOTA COMPANY, BECAUSE WHEN TRYING TO TURN IT ON IT DOES NOT KEEP THE GEAR DOWN UNTIL IT TURNS OFF AND THEN DOES NOT TURN ON, IT HAS GIVEN MISFIRE CODE IN DIFFERENT CYLINDERS AND DTC P -008700 ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND THE ANSWER FROM THE ADVISER IS THAT THE PICK-UP IS BEING USED WITH LITTLE GASOLINE. ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TURNS ON THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACK OFF LIGHT. *TR

TOYOTA SOLD THIS VEHICLE KNOWING OF DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP - HAD ISSUES DAY ONE WITH LONG CRANK CYCLES TO START. LOUD KNOCKING OF HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP REPORTED ALSO-PROBABLY RELATED TO LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTION AND CAVITATION AT HIGH PRESSURE PUMP. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED ROUGH IDLE AND JERKING. I CONTACTED SELLING DEALER IN JAN 2020 AFTER RECALL WITH NO REMEDY ISSUED AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS ONLY LIKE 1 VEHICLE AFFECTED - OUTRIGHT LIE. THERE IS CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR THIS DEFECT IN PROGRESS AND OVER 2000 PUMPS HAD FAILED AND TOYOTA KNEW ABOUT IT. OTHER PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE INCLUDING FAULTY DIFFERENTIAL AND IT TOOK 4 VISITS AND FAILED NCDS CLAIM FOR TOYOTA TO ADMIT IT WAS DEFECTIVE AND REPLACE ONLY AFTER 12,000 LEMON LAW LIMIT IN KENTUCKY. TOYOTA AND ITS' DEALERS ARE COVER UP ARTISTS. SITTING HERE STILL WITH VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH NO FUEL PUMP EVEN AFTER 10 MONTHS - FINAL REMEDY CAME IN ON TOYOTA OWNERS WEBSITE AND CALLED SELLING DEALER AND THEY SAID I HAD TO GO ON WAITING LIST FOR 2-3 WEEKS TO EVEN GET THE PART - TOYOTA SHOULD BUY BACK THIS VEHICLE.

THERE IS CURRENTLY AN OPEN RE-CALL ON THE FUEL PUMP. I DO NOT FEEL LIKE IT'S BEING FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER. TOYOTA KEEPS CHANGING THE REMEDY DATE.

TRUCK IS CURRENTLY SITTING IN TOYOTA SERVICE LOT FOR NEXT 2 MONTHS DUE TO FUEL PUMP RECALL. TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE AND WILL DIE ANYWHERE RANDOMLY THEY HAVE NO FIX UNTIL END OF SEPTEMBER 2020 WHEN PARTS COME IN. WISH THEY WOULD BUY IT BACK, SO THAT I CAN GO BUY A DEPENDABLE TRUCK INSTEAD OF SENDING LOAN PAYMENTS TO A TRUCK THAT'S NOT IN MY POSSESSION FOR OVER 2 MONTHS

THE FUEL PUMP WAS RUNNING WHEN THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY AND NOT STARTED. THE KEY WAS NOT IN THE IGNITION.

IN FEB 2019, I PURCHASED A NEW TOYOTA TACOMA FROM CAVENDER TOYOTA, LOCATED IN SAN ANTONIO TEXAS. IN LESS THAN TWO (2) YEARS AND WITH ONLY 7,084 MILES, I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES PERTAINING TO ITS RADAR SENSOR SYSTEM AND FUEL PUMP. THE FORMER ALERTS THE DRIVER WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE OR OBSTACLE IS TOO CLOSE; THE REMEDY WAS INSTALLED BY THE DEALER THIS YEAR. THE LATTER REMAINS AND IS STILL PENDING DEVELOPMENT/DELIVERY BY HEADQUARTERS (HQ) TOYOTA PROJECTED FOR LATE SEP 2020. IN THE INTERIM, THE RISK IS THE 2019 TOYOTA TACOMA CAN STALL WHILE DRIVING. ON 6 AUG 2020, MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE EXITING MY DRIVE WAY. UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND MANAGER ADVISED NOTHING CAN BE DONE SINCE THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. THEY SAID THE RISK IS THE TRUCK MAY STALL AGAIN AND TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO HAVE IT TOWED. THEY ALSO STATED THE FUEL PUMP RECALL PERTAINS TO THE TOYOTA TACOMA, COROLLA, SIENNA, AND HIGHLANDER. DUE TO SAFETY HAZARD POSED AND MY DISSATISFACTION WITH THE RESPONSES PROVIDED BY THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND MANAGER, THEY RECOMMENDED CONTACTING HQ TOYOTA TO RELAY MY VIEWS. ON 7 AUG, I DID SO. THE HQ CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE ADVOCATE PROVIDED THE SAME RESPONSE. SPECIFICALLY, NOTHING FURTHER CAN BE DONE TO REMEDY THE ISSUE SINCE THE PART IS BEING DEVELOPED. ON 17 AUG, MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED WHILE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. I IMMEDIATELY REACHED OUT TO ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WAITED FOR TWO HOURS IN EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS LOADED AND TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE NOW RESIDES AT THE CAVENDER TOYOTA DEALER'S PARKING LOT WHERE IT SITS WITH OTHER VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, UNTIL THE PART IS PRODUCED/SHIPPED AND CAN BE FIXED. ON 18 AUG 2020, I PROVIDED AN UPDATE TO HQ TOYOTA ON MY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AND SAFETY CONCERNS. THEY REITERATED NOTHING FURTHER CAN BE DONE AT THIS TIME.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREET THAT LEADS TO MY HOUSE WHEN MY TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUT OFF.I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IT'S SAFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY OR THE PUBLIC FOR THAT VEHICLE TO BE OUT ON THE ROAD.

2019 TOYOTA TACOMA STOPPED RUNNING ON THE MIDDLE OF ROAD. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS

VEHICLE TENDS TO STALL AFTER TAKE OFF (4 CYLINDER) I'VE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SERVICE (NO OPEN RECALL) AND SERVICE TECH/MECHANIC STATED THAT'S HOW THE 4 CYLINDER IS SUPPOSE TO DRIVE. (NOT TRUE) I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM DURING TAKE OFF AT STOP LIGHTS, INABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHILE GOING UP SLIGHT HILLS (EVEN AFTER BEING AT 50 MPH OR OVER) THE TRUCK STILL WON'T ACCELERATE (LIKE IT'S STUCK IN A GEAR) HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GAS LEVEL (FULL, HALF, QUARTER) MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 3,300 MILES ON IT AND I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW ALMOST A YEAR AGO.

THE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY STOP OPERATING. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES MAY BE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND THE ENGINE MAY RUN ROUGH. THIS MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE STALL, AND THE VEHICLE MAY BE UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. IF A VEHICLE STALL OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THIS COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP RECALL BACK SINCE JAN 2020 STATING STALL/CRASH CONDITION CAN OCCUR - CAN'T DRIVE THIS VEHICLE OUT OF TOWN ANY DISTANCE OUT OF FEAR OF BREAKDOWN - THIS AN THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH DRIVE LINE ISSUES SINCE DAY 1 WITH DIFFERENTIAL REPLACEMENT AFTER FAILED NCDS CLAIM AND 4 DEALER VISITS FINALLY TO GET THEM TO ADMIT IT WAS FAULTY (NOTING EXCESS SHAVINGS) THEN TRANSFER CASE HOUSING LEAK - VEHICLE STILL MAKES NOISE AND IS SLUGGISH AT TIMES WITH SEVERE HESITATION AND NO REMEDY IN SIGHT 7 MONTHS LATER FOR A LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP RECALL - TOYOTA GETS AWAY WITH WHATEVER THEY WANT AND THE CONSUMERS HAVE TO PUT UP WITH IT AND FIGHT THEIR PUPPET DEALER STALL TACTICS TO REMEDY THEIR DEFECTS - WHERE IS STRONGER GOVERNMENT REGULATION TO PROTECT CONSUMERS?

IN MARCH RECEIVED THE NHTSA RECALL NO. 20V-012 NOTICE FROM TOYOTA FOR MY 2019 TACOMA. ON JANUARY 13, 2020, TOYOTA SUBMITTED A SAFETY RECALL REPORT (THE 'RECALL REPORT') TO NHTSA VOLUNTARILY RECALLING NEARLY 700,000 TOYOTA AND LEXUS VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN AUGUST 1, 2018 THROUGH JANUARY 31, 2019 WITH DEFECTIVE LOW PRESSURE DENSO FUEL PUMPS. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THE "REMEDY" WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2020. THIS MEANS MY TRUCK COULD FAIL FOR A FULL SIX MONTHS BETWEEN THE TIME OF THE NOTIFICATION AND THE "REMEDY" AND A FULL 9 MONTHS FROM THE FILING DATE. MEANWHILE THE VEHICLE COULD FAIL. THE DENSO LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP IS ALSO LISTED IN A SIMILAR RECALL FOR SUBARU. WHY ARE THESE COMPANIES GIVEN SO MUCH TIME TO REMEDY A KNOWN MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM WHILE THESE VEHICLES ARE STILL ON THE ROAD? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, [XXX] REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC

ON MARCH 25 I WROTE TO YOU ABOUT THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING WITH THE VEHICLE I LEASE.TOYOTA HAS ADS ON TV STATING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS STILL OPEN BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED ABOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM AND I DO NO FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE,BECAUSE OF WHAT TOYOTA TOLD ME ON THE PHONE CASE #2003022885 AND WHAT IS IN THE RECALL LETTER .IF A PROBLEM WERE TO OCCUR WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES MAY BE DISPLAYED. IF THE STALLS WHILE DRIVING A THIS COULD CAUSE A CRASH. I DELIVER FUEL OIL FOR A LIVING AND I AM STILL DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO WORK EVERYDAY AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE ALTHOUGH I HAVE WRITTEN TO THE VT CONSUMER AGENCY ABOUT THIS THEY HAVE SO FAR BEEN UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING.

I'VE NOTICED TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER WHEN DRIVING AND STALLS. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL THEIR FUEL PUMP WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED AROUND APRIL AND I STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY WORD ON THE REMEDY FROM TOYOTA. *TR

THERE HAS BEEN AN OPEN RECALL SINCE JAN 13,2020 FOR A FAULTY FUEL PUMP THAT MAY CUT OFF, ESPECIALLY AT HIGH-SPEEDS. THERE IS NO FIX OR RESOLUTION. THIS MAKES DRIVING THE VEHICLE VERY STRESSFUL AND CAUSES EXTREME STRESS IN DRIVING, BOTH AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND CITY SPEEDS. TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO FOLLOW THROUGH AND IS PUTTING DRIVERS AT RISK.

I LEARNED ABOUT A SAFETY RECALL ON MY TRUCK THROUGH MY INSURANCE APP WHICH SEND ME TO YOUR WEBSITE. THIS RECALL WAS REPORTED TO YOU IN JANUARY 2020, UNTIL THIS DATE 5/13/20 I HAVE NOT RECEIVE ANY COMMUNICATIONS FROM TOYOTA EXPLAINING THE ISSUE THAT COULD BE POTENTIALLY AFFECTING THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE. THERE IS STILL NO FIX TO THIS PROBLEM AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. HOW MUCH LONGER BEFORE YOU FORCE TOYOTA TO TAKE ACTION. *TR
