Consumer Description

CAR HAD PROBLEMS ACCELERATING TWO TIMES FROM AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. IT WAS ROUGH, DASH LIGHTS FLASHED QUICKLY AND I WAS UNABLE TO SEE WHICH LIGHTS WERE FLASHING. AS I COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AFTER THAT, I WASN'T SURE ABOUT BRINGING IT TO THE DEALER. TWO WEEKS LATER I RECEIVED MY NOTICE ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP BEING RECALLED. NOW THE CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP. I REFUSE TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE CAR. TOYOTA HAS NOT SUPPLIED A TIMELY FIX. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON IT. TOYOTA SHOULD BUY THE CAR BACK. *TR
