Toyota 4 runner had a recall for the fuel pump. I have been having starting issues with it ever since. The power is good and the starter tries to turn the vehicle over. But the vehicle won't start. I have taken it to multiple locations for service through out the chicago land area. Also once the vehicle finally does start. The R.P.M.s will suddenly increase and decrease to the point that the vehicle turns off while in drive. I can provide print outs when the vehicle gets fixed, if ever. I purchased the vehicle as CPO.

TOYOTA CAME OUT WITH RECALL 1-13-2020 (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 20V012) AND AS OF 5-29-2020, THEY STILL CLAIM THAT NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE. WHAT IS A TIMELY PERIOD TO WAIT?*DT*JB

ABOUT 4-5 TIMES PER YEAR FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS MY VEHICLE WILL HESTTATE OR STALL FOR 3-4 SECONDS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, AT NO REGULAR SEQUENCE, AND WITHOUT WARNING OF ANY KIND. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT A RECALL, BUT THE NHTSA INFORMED ME THAT A FUEL PUMP RECALL NOTICE WAS MADE PUBLIC ON JANUARY 20, 2020. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER ON TWO OCCASIONS, BUT THEY TELL ME THE SAME THING EACH TIME, THAT I NEED TO WAIT ON A LETTER FROM THE MANUFACTURER TELLING ME THAT THEY WILL REMEDY THE SITUATION. AS OF THIS DATE, 4/23/2020, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED SUCH A LETTER, AND THE NHTSA SAYS THE SAME THING. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS TO SEND SUCH A REMEDY LETTER WITHIN 60 DAYS OF THE PUBLIC NOTIFICATION, AND THAT TIME PERIOD HAS EXPIRED. IT SEEMS THAT THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE COULD VERY WELL BE THE FUEL PUMP NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. CAN YOU PURSUE THE MANUFACTURER TO ISSUE THEIR REMEDY LETTER BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS?
