2018 Toyota Camry

I BOUGHT MY 2018 TOYOTA CAMERY LE 3 MONTHS AGO, AT HURD BUICK IN JOHNSON RI I DIDN'T NO THERE WAS.A SAFETY RECALL ON IT FOR A FUEL PUMP I AM UPSET BECAUSE NO MATTER WHT TOYOTA DEALERSHIP I CALLED THEY DONT HAVE THE PART IN YET, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT I WANT IT REPLACED BUT NO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HAS THE RECALL FUEL PUMP THIS IS CRAZY I AM VERY UPSET

TOYOTA ADDS 1.5M VEHICLES TO ENGINE STALLING RECALLS THE LATEST RECALL BRINGS THE TOTAL NUMBER REQUIRING FUEL PUMP REPAIRS TO 5.8 MILLION HOW IS THIS NOT ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE? THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE ...YET. IT IS BEING CHECKED. HTTPS://WWW.IEN.COM/HOME/NEWS/21200579/TOYOTA-ADDS-15M-US-VEHICLES-TO-RECALLS-FOR-ENGINE-STALLING?LT.LID=5F9C45C61DDB8129A9E9D36C&LT.ACK=B1OCOPFDD&LT.USR=24329411&UTM_SOURCE=IMT_10302020&UTM_MEDIUM=EMAIL&UTM_CAMPAIGN=125460&UTM_TERM=648171

VEHICLE STALL WHILE ON THE 75 FREEEWAY WHEN I WAS GOING 70 MPH. NO BREAK LIGHTS APPAREAR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPING CAUSING ME TO ALMOST CRASH WITH OTHER VEHICLES ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. I HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE DEALERSHIP IN COBB COUNTY GEORGIA BUT NOTHING IS BEEN DONE. I THINK IT EITHER THE PISTOL OR THE FUEL PUMP. TOYOTA CASE # 2009280896 & TOYOTA CASE #2 -2009281300.

THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL MISFIRES WHEN STARTING THE CAR, AND THE CAR SOMETIMES GOES INTO LIKE AN IDLE MODE. THE DASHBOARD STATES 27 MPG, BUT I'VE BEEN TRACKING MILEAGE ON A PAPER LOG, AND THE VEHICLE IS REALLY ONLY RECEIVING APPROXIMATELY 19 MPG. I LOOKED TO IT TO SEE WHAT IT COULD BE, AND AFTER LOOKING UP ACTIVE RECALLS, REALIZED THAT IT WAS SYMPTOMS OF THE FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTIONING. I TOOK IT TO SCOTT CLARK TOYOTA; A MANUFACTURER'S DEALER, AND THEY REFUSE TO REMEDY THE SITUATION.

WHEN I START MY CAR BY PRESSING THE START BUTTON, THE CAR CAN'T START AND SAID IGNITION IS NOT READY AND MANY ERROR CODES SHOW UP ON THE SCREEN, SOMETIMES IT TAKES 8 TO 10 TIMES BEFORE CAR CAN START AND TODAY IT CAN'T START AT ALL, I WENT TO CHECK FOR THE CAR CATTERY AND IT IS FINE, AND WE CHANGED OUR KEY FOB BATTERY, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS, SOME WEBSITE SAID IT IS FUEL PUMP ISSUE, AND I SEE SOME 2018 TOYOTA CAMRY IS ON FUEL PUMP RECALLL BUT WHEN I INPUT MY VIN, IT SAID IT IS NOT UNDER RECALL, SO I AM VERY WORRIED THAT ONE DAY I WILL GET STRANDED SOMEWHERE WITHOUT NOTICE AND DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE ISSUE, PLEASE HELP. THIS HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY BEFORE I START.

SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ALL REPORTED TO THE DEALER DURING REGULAR SERVICE INTERVALS. 1. STARTED THE DAY I DROVE IT NEW OFF THE LOT - CLOCK RADIO WAS GAINING 1 MINUTE EVERY WEEK, DEALER FLASHED SYSTEM SEVERAL TIMES ON MULTIPLE SERVICE APPOINTMENTS BEST IT HAS GOTTEN DOWN TO IS GAINING 1 MINUTE A MONTH. 2. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I WOULD PARK THE CAR FOR THE EVENING 1-2 HOURS LATER SOMEONE WOULD WALK PAST THE CAR NOTICE A HUMMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR, I'D GO CHECK SOUNDED LIKE THE FUEL PUMP RUNNING, INSERT KEY TURN ON IGNITION (NOT START CAR) TURN KEY OFF NOISE WAS GONE. REPORTED TO DEALER NOTHING FOUND COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. 3. STARTED AROUND 25K MILES - CAR IS VERY SLUGGISH, AND JERKY ON SLOW GRADUAL ACCELERATION FEELS LIKE A BAD PLUG OR FUEL DELIVERY PROBLEM, CAN BE DRIVING DOWN FLAT STRAIGHT INTERSTATE HIGHWAY CAR WILL HICCUP SPIT AND SPUTTER FOR A SECOND OR TWO THEN RESUMES SPEED. REPORTED TO DEALER DURING ROUTINE SERVICE COMPUTER DIDN'T THROW A CODE SO NOTHING COULD BE DONE OBSERVED 0.1 MPG DECREASE IN FUEL MILEAGE. 4. 28K-30K MILES STARTED CAR FOR WORK IDLED AND SHOOK HORRIBLY FOR 20-30 SECONDS JUST AS I REACHED FOR THE KEY TO SHUT IT OFF AND DRIVE MY SPARE CAR IT SMOOTHED OUT AND RAN FINE. FELT LIKE A DEAD CYLINDER SUSPECT A BAD PLUG OR COIL PACK ONCE AGAIN REPORTED TO THE DEALER NOTHING FOUND. 5. CAR NOW AT 38K MILES FUEL MILEAGE HAS GRADUALLY DECREASED FROM MAX OF 37 MPG WHEN NEW NOW DOWN TO 35.8 MPG WITHOUT ANY CHANGE IN DRIVING HABITS OR ROUTE. SINCE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED I WILL CHANGE SPARK PLUGS MYSELF TO SEE IF THE SLUGGISHNESS SUBSIDES AND MILEAGE RETURNS TO WHAT I CONSIDERED NORMAL FOR THE CAR.

MY CAR WILL RANDOMLY STALL AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL HOURS ON THE FREEWAY AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT START UP. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY LEADING TO A CRASH. MY CAR IS NOT INVOLVED UNDER TOYOTA'S FUEL PUMP RECALL BUT I HAVE VERIFIED THAT MY FUEL PRESSURE GOES TO NEAR 0 PSI WHEN THE CONDITION HAPPENS (FORMER TOYOTA TECHNICIAN) AND THE SYMPTOMS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS OUTLINED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED TWO TOYOTA TECHNICIANS FROM MY LOCAL DEALER AND SAID THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT DUE TO HAVING TO DRIVE SO LONG AND AS A RESULT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A FIX FOR ME. I WOULD BE TEMPTED TO PURCHASE A NEW FUEL PUMP, HOWEVER IF TOYOTA DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON MY CAR, THE PART WILL NOT BE UPDATED AND WILL LIKELY TO HAVE THE SAME RESULT.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE IS BAD. BAD IDLE, WEAK ENGINE, JUST THE CAR IS NOT PERFORMING PROPERLY. I USED THE SCANNER TO SEE THE CODE AND I HAD MORE THAN ONE . P0171 P0505 P117B P0441 P0455 . FUEL/AIR MIXTURE IS LEAN . AND I HEAR THE FUEL PUMP MAKING THAT NOISE THAT INDICATES A BAD FUEL PUMP. IT'S WHEN I PUT THE KEY IN I HEAR IT LOUD ENOUGH AND IF I TURN THE KEY ON IT DOES IT AGAIN. WHEN I PUT IT ON P IT REVS AND RPM GOES UP AND THEN COMES DOWN, UP AGAIN DOWN AGAIN ... WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR WANTS TO MOVE AND RPM KEEPS SHAKING. *TR
