2019 Toyota Camry FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

I EXPERIENCED FUEL PUMP FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET, I WAS ABLE TO STOP CAR SAFELY AND RESTART IT. MY VEHICLE DID NOT RECEIVE RECALL ACCORDING TO FOLLOWING DIRECTIVE: JANUARY 13, 2020 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V012000 FUEL PUMP MAY FAIL IF THE FUEL PUMP FAILS, THE ENGINE CAN STALL WHILE DRIVING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V012000 MANUFACTURER TOYOTA MOTOR ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING COMPONENTS FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED 1,830,752 RIVERVIEW TOYOTA MESA,AZ REPLACED FUEL PUMP 9/25/2020 UNDER WARRANTY. I COMMEND THE SERVICE TEAM THERE FOR THEIR PROFESSIONALISM HANDLING THIS SITUATION.

MY VEHICLE HAS 24K MILES ON IT AND I AM STARTING TO FREQUENTLY NOTICE THAT WHEN I PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL THAT THE CAR HESITATES AND IT TAKES IT A FEW SECONDS TO GO FORWARD. THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE THIS IS NORMAL AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF I EVER NEEDED TO ACCELERATE VERY QUICKLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT STOP LIGHTS AND WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY.

MY CAR WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY IT STALLED AND JUST WOULDN'T ACCELERATE DESPITE ME PRESSING THE GAS AND CONTINUES TO DECELERATE. IT STARTED VIBRATING AND I HAD TO PARK BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON. WHEN I TURNED ON THE IGNITION A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS TURNED ON. THEN I TOOK MY CAR TO AUTOZONE JUST TO GET AN ERROR CODE, THEN I TOOK THE RESULT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME I HAVE A GAS PUMP FAILURE. WE BOTH DID OUR RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT CARS MANUFACTURED WITHIN THE SAME MONTH AND YEAR (OCTOBER 2018) TOYOTA CAMRY WERE RECALLED. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP, THIS IS A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE ONLY 16,000 MILEAGE AND A YEAR OLD.BUT THEY WOULDN'T ADDRESS MY CONCERN, JUST BECAUSE MY VIN WASN'T INCLUDED ON THE RECALL LIST.

CAR STOPS WORKING AND RUNS ROUGH AND THE DEALER SAID IT'S A BAD FUEL PUMP BUT DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL

HESITATION UPON FUEL DEMAND WHILE ALREADY IN MOTION AND AT TAKE-OFF, NO DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. *TR

I CALL NHTSA ON JUNE 25TH NO MAKE A COMPLAINT THAT I STILL DO NOT HAVE A RECALL RESOLUTION TO A SAFETY RECALL (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 304250) THE NHTSA REP INFORMS ME TOYOTA DOES HAVE A REMEDY AND TO CALL A DEALER. I INFORM THE NHTSA REP TOYOTA CORPORATION AND DEALERS ARE POOR MANUFACTURES AND HAVE PROBLEMS, AND HE INFORMS ME TO MAKE A COMPLAINT TO CONTACT THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION. I ALSO NOTICE ON JUNE 26TH THE DAY AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE NHTSA REP, THE NHTSA WEBSITE INDICATES THE REMEDY FOR THE RECALL IS NOT READY: JAN 13,2020 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER20TA02 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER20V012 RECALL STATUSRECALL INCOMPLETE. *TR

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STALL. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON SIDE THE ROAD TO PREVENT FROM GETTING HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER FROM THE REAR. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE A WHILE LONGER BEFORE THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN. I HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY REPORTED AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP. THE DEALERSHIP REPORTED HAVING MANY ISSUES WITH THE FUEL PUMP FOR THE 2019 CAMRY. ON THE DATE OF JUNE 29TH REPAIR APPOINTMENT, THEY REPORTED THEY FUEL PUMP IS ON BACK ORDER AND THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE PART UNTIL JULY 22ND, 2020 DUE TO SO MANY VEHICLES HAVING THAT DEFECT. HOWEVER, THE PART IS UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD BE COVERED. AS A RESULT, I HAD TO PRIVATELY RENT A VEHICLE WITHOUT BEING OFFERED A LOANER CAR OR A RENTAL FOR 2 WEEKS. I HAD TO SPEND APPROXIMATELY 1,000 IN EXPENSES TO COVER THE COST OF NOT HAVING A VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP IN A REMOTE AREA FAR FROM HOME AND WORK. MY DISABLED MOTHER HAD TO BOOK A HOTEL TO CHECK THE VEHICLE STATUS THE FOLLOWING DAY WITH MY FATHER. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 8 MONTHS WITH 29,000 MILES. WHEN I PLACED MY VIN NUMBER IN THE SYSTEM, MY VEHICLE WASN'T IDENTIFIED OR QUALIFIED AS A RECALL IN THE SYSTEM DESPITE THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMING THEIR WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND THE DESCRIPTION OF THE VEHICLE DEFECT MATCHING ONE OF THE 5 IDENTIFIED RECALLS RELATED TO THE TOYOTA CAMRY. BASED ON MY VIN #, MY VEHICLE DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR ANY RECALLS, WHEN I CALLED THE TOYOTA RECALL OFFICE, THEY REPORTED MY VEHICLE DIDN'T MEET RECALL STANDARDS .THE KELLY BLUE BOOK REPORTED 5 DIFFERENT RECALLS AND THEIR DESCRIPTIONS IN RELATION TO THE 2019 CAMRY. I NOTICED THE FUEL PUMP DEFECT/SYMPTOMS MATCHED WITH MY VEHICLE OUT OF THE 5 IDENTIFIED RECALLS.

MY VEHICLE WILL STALL AND STOPS RANDOMLY. IT IS LOSING POWER AT STOP SIGNS AND STOP LIGHTS WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES. A FEW TIMES IT LOSE POWER TEMPORARY WHILE IN MOTION. IT KEEP SHOWING "CHARGING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION AND STOP IN A SAFE PLACE" MESSAGE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL AFTER 5 MINUTES AND THEN THE WHOLE THING REPEATS A DAY OR TWO LATER. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO FIX BUT THEY CONCLUDED THE CAR IS ALRIGHT SINCE THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE. BUT THE PROBLEM IS THERE AND THE CAR KEEPS UNSAFE STOPPING. MY VEHICLE PROBLEM SEEMS SIMILAR TO THOSE OF JANUARY 13TH 2020 "FUEL PUMP MAY FAIL RECALL" NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 20V012000.

CONTACTED SURPRISE ARIZONA TOYOTA FRIDAY MORNING ON 12/4/2020 REGARDING FUEL PUMP. AFTER CAR IS TURNED OFF FUEL PUMP KEEPS RUNNING. NO RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA AND WE HAVE THE FULL WARRANTY. PAID EXTRA FOR IT. VERY CONCERNING. REALLY NEED THEM TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION. 8500 MILES ON 2019 TOYOTA SE CAMRY
