2019 Toyota Highlander

I HAVE A 2019 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER. A FRIEND INFORMED ME OF THE RECALL THAT WAS IDENTIFIED BACK IN JANUARY 2020 REGARDING THE FAILING FUEL PUMPS AND RISK OF CRASH. TOYOTA NEVER SENT ME A LETTER WITHIN THE 60 DAYS. I'VE BEEN WAITING ON A SOLUTION EVER SINCE. ON APRIL 30 (TODAY), I FINALLY GOT A LETTER LABELED "INTERIM NOTICE". THE LETTER SAYS THEY ARE WORKING ON A SOLUTION. I HAVE FIVE CHILDREN AND IT IS NOT RIGHT THAT WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ENDING UP IN A CRASH EVERY TIME WE DRIVE IT. I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN VERY PATIENT WITH THE SITUATION. NO SOLUTION AFTER 4 MONTHS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. TOYOTA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND APPROPRIATELY RECOMPENSE OWNERS IN SOME MANNER IN ADDITION TO REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE PART FREE OF CHARGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT AT 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AS THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT FLASHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PETERSON TOYOTA (9101 W FAIRVIEW AVE, BOISE, ID 83704) WHERE THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT THEN RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V012000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE SAME DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR.

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN MAY, 2019. WITHIN A FEW WEEKS, WE NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH IT STALLING OUT MOMENTARILY WHEN TURNING AT INTERSECTIONS OR IDLING AT LIGHTS. WITHIN 4-5 SECONDS, YOU COULD FEEL IT FINALLY PICK UP FUEL AND GO. IT GIVES YOU A VERY SCARY FEELING TO THINK YOU CAN'T KEEP MOVING ALONG WITH THE TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY WHEN OUR GRANDCHILDREN ARE IN THE BACK SEAT. WE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP AND WE WOULD NEED TO LEAVE IT THERE FOR REPAIR. THEY PUT US IN A RENTAL DODGE DURANGO, WHICH IS FINE, BUT THAT'S NOT THE VEHICLE WE WANTED WHEN WE PURCHASED OUR HIGHLANDER. THIS WAS OVER A MONTH AGO AND WHEN WE CONTACT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ARE JUST TOLD THAT THERE IS STILL NO FIX IN SIGHT. WE THINK IT'S BEEN LONG ENOUGH FOR SOMETHING TO HAVE BEEN DONE. OUR WARRANTY IS EXPIRING WHILE IT SETS ON THE DEALER'S LOT IN THE HOT FLORIDA SUNSHINE. IT WAS ALWAYS GARAGED WHILE IN OUR CARE.

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE ON JANUARY 13, 2020. IT IS NOW APRIL 26,2020 AND THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR THE ISSUES WHICH CAN RESULT IN A DEADLY CRASH. THE VEHICLE MAY STALL WHILE DRIVING AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY STOP OPERATING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL AND BE UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. IT IS RIDICULOUS AND UNACCEPTABLE THAT WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW, SUPPOSEDLY SAFE CAR, THAT NOW IS A DEATH TRAP. TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE A REMEDY FOR THE DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME.

I OWN A 2019 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER, IT HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES DURING BUSY COMMUTE TO OR FROM WORK. I AM SO SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, THAT I REFUSE TO DRIVE IT TO ANY DESTINATION LONGER THAN 50 MILES. I NEED THIS CAR REPLACED, I HAVE THREE YOUNG CHILDREN, AND I PAYING FOR AN UNSAFE, UNRELIABLE CAR. I WOULD LIKE FOR TOYOTA TO REPLACE THIS VEHICLE.

THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT HOWEVER I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE RECALL TO BE REMEDIED IN A TIMELY MANNER RECALL WAS APPARENT JAN 13,2020 THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF LIFE IF MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE OPERATING AT A HIGH LEGAL SPEED LIMIT AND SUDDENLY STOP BECAUSE OF AN INADEQUATE FUEL PUMP. THIS DELAY IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW AUTO AND IT SHOULD BE FULLY OPERATIONAL AS I RELY ON IT TO GET ME TO AND FROM WORK AND DAILY LIFE ACTIVITIES.

THGE RECALL DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. IT IS DANGEROUS AND DRIVING THIS VEHICLE GREATLY INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH.IT HAS BEEN IN THIS CONDITION FOR QUITE SOME TIME, I AM AFRAID TO USE MY 2019 TOYOTA HIGHLANDE. TOYOTA CANNOT PROVIDE A DATE FOR A "FIX" THEY NEED TO BUY MY CAR BACK. APPRENTLY THIS CONDITION WAS ON GOING SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE.HOWEVER,WAS NOT DISCOVERED UNTIL SEVERAL MONTHS AGO.

I BOUGHT THIS 2019 HIGHLANDER 2 MONTHS AGO AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON-THE FUEL INJECTOR WAS BURNT UP, REPLACED IT, NOT EVEN 24 HOURS LATER THE CAR WAS POURING GAS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BACK ON..IT BARELY HAS 30,000 MILES ON IT. I WILL NEVER BUY A TOYOTA AGAIN. WE ARE STUCK WITH THIS CAR AND IT'S A TICKING TIME BOMB WITH AN OPEN RECALL WE WERE NOT INFORMED OF THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS, IT WENT INTO LOW ENGINE POWER AND STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY STREET AND ALMOST CAUSED ME A WRECK.
