NHTSA Complaint #11339876 — 2019 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET IN BALTIMORE, MD ON VACATION AT ABOUT 35 MPH HAVING JUST CONE AROUND A BLIND CURVE MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART, GOT MULTIPLE MALFUNCTIONS ON THE DISPLAY. WE WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING IN A LANE OF TRAFFIC FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER IT SHUT OFF. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE NON-HYBRID HAD A RECALL BUT SINCE WE HAVE A HYBRID IT ONLY HAS A TSB SO IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL 20V012000 EVEN THOUGH IT SHOULD BE AS THE ENTIRE GASOLINE FUEL SYSTEM IS THE SAME. I LOOKED UP THE RECALL INFORMATION AND THE HAZARD DESCRIBED HAPPENED TO ME EXCEPT WE DIDN'T CRASH.
