2019 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER Fuelpropulsion System Problems

The car randomly shuts off, while waiting in line or when the break is depressed. The vehicle won’t start, battery is completely dead and then comes back randomly.

This is the second time this year 2025 my Toyota Highlander 2019 stalled fist in the middle of of intersection and second on the drive thru in in&out. Suddenly my car died. Tried to turn on followed the on screen instructions but the car failed to turn on. The first time it happened in the middle of the intersection while waiting for the light to change, after the issue I when straight to a car shop and oreilly they have this machine to check any possible issues and he said nothing shows in his machine but he think it’s the battery but I told the guy my battery and on the car shop Midas same result no major issue found and one of the technicians says It could be the auto shot off features, that must be manually turn off since this will automatically turn on. The second incident in...

There is a potential of a serious accident concerning this car. The engine shuts down completely when you are emerging into traffic. I consider this a death trap. Out dealer in Lima, Oh does not want to fix it. I don't seem to be able to get this problem fixed. I appreciate hearing from you as the problem is getting worse.

I had just driven up a steep driveway and made a slightly sharper than 90 degree turn at a very low speed to pull into a home parking spot when the car lunged forward suddenly and slammed into the stone wall of the house at a high speed. The section of this driveway after the turn is only 2.5 car lengths, but the car picked up enough speed to smash the front of the car in. The car was totaled and driver and side curtain airbags all deployed. I do not know why this happened as there is no way I would have hit the gas hard while pulling up to a building to stop. I also would not have slammed on the gas thinking it was the brake since there would have been no reason to slam on the brake when I was only going 5-10 miles per hour...

Check engine light has came on. Code p107b which is what the recall for this vehicle year has but doesnt incude my vin.

Was stuck in traffic on a highway for about 25 minutes going 0 miles per hour because of an accident about 5 miles away. Then the traffic started to clear and began driving on the road again. About five minutes later, the vehicle lost full drive abilities and the check engine light came on, traction control light on, brake light was on, ABS light was on, stability control warning light on, and then on the info screen the vehicle stated, "Hybrid System Malfunction Stop in a Safe Place, See Owner's Manual", screen then showed within 2-seconds, "Pre-Collision System Malfunction Visit Your Dealer", then in about 2 additional seconds later the info screen stated, "Check Engine Visit Your Dealer", then most every waring light turned on, and there was no power for drive with either hybrid or gasoline engine. The vehicle basically came to a sudden halt in the middle of...

Vehicle just turned 12,000 miles. When fueling the vehicle gas gauge does not read correctly. This may cause an unexpected loss of control and accident if out of gas when driving. Vehicle has not yet been to the dealer for repair but going soon. As far as I can determine there are no warning lamps for a faulty fuel gauge.

lost power 3 times - each time making a left hand turn at low speed -Nov.23 2023 -- Dec. 20 2023 & Jan, 30 2024 Groove Toyota checked vehicle out on Dec.21 2023 couldn't find problem - took it to Groove Toyota again on Jan. 31 2024 - told to make another appointment to allow full day of testing - safety concern for family and other traffic - no warning prior to loss of power

Driving on 495 N Beltway car started stalling and then suddenly stopped accelerating/decelerating while engine was running. Almost was rear ended by fast moving traffic. Carefully glided to the shoulder and called Tow Tuck Incident on 12/18/2023

Experience "dead zones" in accelerator pedal movement. Experience "no acceleration" with first 1-2 inches of travel from idle position. This is constant and does not vary noticibly with speed. I was driving in an suburban shopping area in York PA with three lanes of travel in each direction. I intended to move from the laft hand lane to the center lane. I indicated my intentions and waited for an opening. I was travelling about 35-40mph. When an opening came along, I steered into the indended lane, but depressing the accelerator to increase my speed, no acceleration occurred. I then panicked and depressed the pedal quicker, and the ensuing acceleration nearly catapaulted me into the semi truck in the center lane ahead of me. I missed the truck by inches. I have had this issue evaluated at Bennett Toyota in Lebanon PA, and the Lancaster Toyota, the dealer who sold me...

Vehicle check engine turned on to check AWD system after about 2 days when filling with gas the engine wouldn't start and had Low brake power message on dashboard. Checked code and got P0171 and P0174 which mean engine's air/fuel mixture becomes too lean for the Engine Control Module (ECM) to correct within its normal operating range there are many posts and threads about same issue on highlanders as old as 2017 please look into this issue that could potentially cause a hazard. will take vehicle in for inspection 06/13/23 at Toyota of Naperville

I went out into my garage 3:30 in the morning and heard a motor running very faintly tried tracking down the noise finally located under the car at the rear. It was the fuel pump running. I went in. got my key started the vehicle let it run about a half a minute shut it off. The noise was gone. I’m worried about this pump running for hours or possibly days then catching the car on fire the garage and the house I know there have been issues. With fuel pumps in these Toyotas, but I haven’t found this particular problem online. Possibly there may be a problem with the fuel pump relay?

I have had my vehicle for a little over 3 years, with about 35K miles on it. At first, I realized my vehicle jerked a bit, but I dismissed it because it never stopped. However, I did notice that my battery was dying quickly. I was changed once by the dealership because they said the battery was defective. After they changed that battery, the next battery also went bad. While driving with my children and mother, my vehicle began sputtering and a message that said, "Check Engine Reduced engine power" came on along with "Traction Control turned off" and my engine light. My vehicle barely accelerated as I was trying to cross the intersection thankfully I managed to get out of the way of oncoming vehicles. Somehow, the vehicle ran smoothly after I turned it off and turned it back. After that issue, I then experienced an error message in...

Temporary Loss off Power: After driving about 100 miles we stopped for a 15 minute break. Afterwards I started the car and to my surprise the engine was running but I had no power. I was able to coast down a slight grade to avoid other vehicles in the parking lot. I stopped the car, put it in Park (P), put it back in Drive (D) and was able to drive as before. We purchased this vehicle in September of 2018. It has slightly over 14K miles. This has happened at least once before.

When running, after stopping at a stop sign, the car hesitates to go, kind of sputters. When turning the car on, the lights on the dash flicker and now the car won’t start. On days prior, you would turn the car key, but the car wouldn’t start on the first time. It sounded like it wouldn’t turn all the way on, like the battery died. I didn’t leave the radio on or anything that would warrant that.My safety was put at risk because I work in healthcare and get off work at midnight so if I broke down or stalled in traffic, this could cause an accident.

On occasion I have been walking around this car while its just parked in my garage and I hear a a humming sound like a electric gas pump. This is 4 hours after it was used last. It is a faint sound coming from the the rear seating area. Just before I started to write this I went out to check it again and its not doing it. This is not a one time event and its concerning since I believe its electric and may be involved with gas in a parked garage. The vehicle is in like new condition and had one minor cosmetic type accident while in its first year of use. Scratches to driver side panels and front bumper. I will call the dealer tomorrow to see what they have to say. Thanks in advance for any info you can share on this issue, a fire in...

My wife was going to pick our kids up for school and was on a 60mph highway when the check engine light came on and the vehicle slowed down to 30mph in heavy traffic. She was able to maneuver off the road and get to safety. We took the vehicle to the dealership where they replaced the 3 fuel injectors for $1900. Vehicle has 38,000 miles. With such low miles and the fact that this happened on a highway in my opinion this is a major safety concern.

My car continues to stall/become powerless while driving even after replacing the low-pressure fuel pump as part of the earlier safety recall On Oct/28 2021by the dealer. The same problem started re-occurring once two weeks ago and again twice today while driving on busy road. It is a safety issue, my car has driven only 17k miles. I have visited the dealer last week and reported the issue and requested to check the fault code and ascertain the fault. They have expressed their inability to do it and said, the car is out of warranty. I think the problem is beyond the fuel pump or the work was not done in a proper workmanship manner.

Our 2019 Highlander xle ( VIN [XXX]) is currently at the Lonestar service department. Service Rep ([XXX]), Assistant Sales Manager [XXX], and [XXX], were fully advised of the stall problems of our vehicle on 9/13/2031. Our paperwork on previous tall repairs were left with [XXX]. On 9/13/2021, we left our 2019, Highlander XLE in the Toyota Lonestar Service department, Lewisville, Texas, for stalling (would not drive) repairs. They were fully notified of several stall episodes. The most recent stall was while driving, 30 mph in Denton, Texas, in heavy traffic, in the middle of an intersection. My wife was terrified when the car stalled. The screen went black. Her car mileage was 9344 mileage at this most recent problem 9/2021. My wife when she starts the car leaving the house. She always going through the procedure to turn off the "start/stop" function, before leaving our residence ("manually turns off the...

We purchased our brand new Toyota from the dealership in July of 2019. We used the dealership for every scheduled maintenance and maintained updated contact information the whole time. On August 6, 2021 when we were approximately 100 miles from home our car stalled abruptly in the middle of an intersection. The car was not driveable so we called a tow truck and we’re able to obtain a rental car. The car was towed to the nearest dealership which informed us the problem was due to a recalled faulty fuel pump. ( The first we had ever heard of the recall) The dealership fixed the car free of charge but denied us twice when we asked for approximately $450. 00 in reimbursement charges for the tow truck and car rental. We finally received a notice concerning the very long ongoing recall on or about September 2, 2021. We feel Toyota...

Problems: 1) Check Engine Light lit up. 2) "Hybrid System Malfunction" warning on heads-up display. 3) "Pre-Collision System Failure" warning on Heads-Up Display. 4) Gasoline engine stalls after an intentional deceleration and is unable to come back up to speed. First Event: On July 4th, my wife and I were driving on an interstate highway. We entered an exit ramp interchange to merge onto another highway and when trying to accelerate the car suddenly became sluggish, and gave messages for problems 1), 2), and 4) stated above. Problem 3) did not occur during this event. Messages stated to pull over in a safe location. We parked on the shoulder and immediately shut the car off, waited 5 minutes and then started the car again. We were able to drive to the next off-ramp to a city street (about 100 yards) before the engine started becoming sluggish again and lurching, error...

Driving under "normal" weather conditions when the check engine light warning along with the hybrid maintenance warning light. The car stalled while trying to safely pull to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the nearest Toyota dealership. They confirmed fuel pressure codes p0087, p107b, p3190. I was told Toyota has not issued any updates for this problem. So I am stuck with a car that isn't safe to drive, especially long distances.

My vehicle was not part of the fuel pump recall like the other 3.3M vehicles from Toyota. However, my vehicle exhibited the exact same symptoms as those cars and stranded me on the side of the road twice. This included pushing on the accelerator and getting no response from the car followed by numerous system warning lights including hybrid system malfunction, front collision system failure, and check engine light. Initially, the dealership could not find anything wrong when I first brought it to them. The second time it happened, I was able to bring the car in with the check engine light still on so they were able to diagnose it and are currently replacing the fuel pump. My car (and many others) should have been included in this recall, this is a huge safety issue as this had me stranded on the side of very busy highways twice plus...

I was driving my car on a major intersection. The light turned green and I proceeded to make a left turn onto a major street. As I made it onto the street a warning came up that said "Hybrid system malfunction" and my car immediately started decelerating even though I had the gas pushed. I was able to sway to the right into a parking lot and stop the car before it stopped. My daughter was in the back seat at the time when the car failed and since we were in the middle of accelerating to get onto the major street when the car started decelerating, the cars behind me had to hit brakes/change lanes. I had the car towed to the closest Toyota dealership. They diagnosed it as a failed fuel pump. I looked up the issue and saw that Toyota had a recall on fuel pumps. I...

While driving approximately 70mph on an interstate, lost ability to accelerate. Car started to slow down, forcing us to stop. Very fortunate no one was behind us or we would have been rear-ended. Multiple warning lights came on at this point, including the check engine light, AWD malfunction, pre-collision system malfunction and hybrid system malfunction. Contacted Toyota dealership immediately and slowly drove the car to dealership. Upon inspection, was told that the fuel pump failed. Was also told that the problem is a recall issue for other Toyota models but not for the Hylander. Car is now at dealership being repaired.

In the morning of 6/15/2021 while driving the 2019 Toyota Highlander Hybrid in 90+ degree heat on a busy Denver suburb thoroughfare, the Denso fuel pump failed causing multiple malfunction messages to be displayed and the engine to stall placing the SUV and me in a very unsafe situation in traffic. The SUV was partially in traffic because a curb prevented me from driving the vehicle out of traffic and the fail safe mode did not allow me to drive to a cross street to get the SUV out of traffic. Fortunately, a police squad arrived, parked behind me with emergency lights flashing until the tow truck arrived. The SUV was taken to a nearby Toyota dealer where Toyota service personnel in conjunction with Toyota engineering determined the Denso fuel pump was the problem and was replaced. Toyota has the Denso fuel pump. Moments before the SUV stalled multiple malfunction...

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN FOR SERVICE ON 1/8/21 AT TOYOTA OF SCRANTON FOR REAR SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. THEY HAD REPLACED ARM AWAY, TRAILING. WE CALLED AGAIN FOR DEVICE IN FEBRUARY 2021 FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. IT WAS SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE ON MARCH 20,2021, WHICH TOYOTA OF SCRANTON DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS. IN JANUARY 2021, TOYOTA MENTIONED NOTHING OF THE PENDING FUEL PUMP RECALL. WE RECEIVED NO CALLS FROM TOYOTA AT ANY TIME FOR A RECALL. WE BECAME AWARE OF THE RECALL AFTER WE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR IN FEBRUARY. TOYOTA HAS STILL NOT RESOLVED THE FULL PUMP RECALL.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW WITH ABOUT 11 MILE ON IT. THE TRANSMISSION IMMEDIATELY HAD SHIFTING ISSUES AS IT COULD NOT DECIDE WHAT FORWARD GEAR TO GO INTO AND SHIFTED HARD AND FELT AS IF IT WAS GOING INTO TWO GEARS AT ONE TIME AND AFTER A SHORT DRIVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING DISPLAY INDICATED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WARNING THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS OVERHEATING AND ACTED AS IF THE ENGINE WAS STARVING OF FUEL AS IT SURGED AND DID NOT DELIVER POWER TO GO BEYOND 35 MPH. AFTER I BOUGHT IT THE DEALER REASSURED ME AT LEAST THREE TIMES THAT THE CAR WAS OKAY AND THAT THIS IS THE WAY THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS. I REPEATEDLY HAD THE DEALER CHECK IT AND THE DEALER REASSURED ME THAT THERE WAS NO TROUBLE CODE AND NO PROBLEMS FOUND ALTHOUGH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SHOWED...

FUEL PUMP RECALL WAS APPARENTLY IN EFFECT WHEN VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN FEBRUARY 2020. DEALER (RIVERVIEW TOYOTA, MESA AZ) SCHEDULED SERVICE FOR THE RECALL IN OCTOBER 2020. AFTER DROPPING OFF THE VEHICLE, ASST SERVICE MANAGER CALLS TO INFORM ME THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART AND DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE. I DRIVE MY THREE GRANDDAUGHTERS 5 DAYS A WEEK AND I MORE THAN CONCERNED THAT THIS ISSUE STILL REMAINS UNRESOLVED!

VEHICLE IS SLOW TO RESPOND AND/OR HAS INTERMITTENT PERFORMANCE WHEN ACCELERATING OR MOVING FROM COMPLETE STOP. THERE IS LAG TIME IN THE VEHICLE'S RESPONSE TO DRIVER ACCELERATION WHICH MAKES IT CHALLENGING TO ENTER (FROM ROADWAY OR DRIVEWAY) ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR MERGE INTO INTERSTATE/FREEWAY TRAFFIC. THE DELAY IN THE RESPONSIVENESS AND INCONSISTENT PERFORMANCE CAUSES DRIVER TO NEED EXTRA TIME AND DISTANCE WHEN ENTERING THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. THE FRONT END ALSO BECOMES JUMPY AND ENTERS WITH A SKID/PULL FORCE CAUSING THE NEED TO STEER INTO THE VEHICLE AND COURSE-CORRECT. VEHICLE ALSO DOES NOT ACCELERATE WELL OUT OF A RIGHT-HAND TURN ON 90DEG TURNS AND LAGS TO ACCELERATION PAST APEX. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED 07/25/2020 WITH 4,278 MILES. TOYOTA ISSUED A RECALL FOR LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP IN 01/2020 AND ADDED THIS MODEL TO THE RECALL LIST IN 10/2020. AN INTERIM SAFETY RECALL NOTICE STATING THE VEHICLE COULD STALL WHILE DRIVING INCREASING...

RECALL ON THE VEHICLE FOR FUEL PUMP, AND REPLACEMENT IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. TOYOTA STATES THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE BY END OF FEBRUARY / EARLY MARCH. WE HAVE ASKED THE DEALER TO ALLOW US TO RETURN THE VEHICLE BUT THEY WILL NOT BECAUSE THE CURRENT VALUE IS LESS THAN WHAT IS OWED. WE HAVE ASKED TOYOTA MANUFACTURER TO ACCEPT THE VEHICLE AS A RETURN WITH NO NEGATIVE BALANCE (WE HAVE ALREADY PAID ON THIS VEHICLE FOR 14 MONTHS). THEY STATE THE PROBLEM WILL BE REPAIRED AND THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE. THE RECALL STATES THE CAR CAN STOP AT ANY TIME AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED, WITH OR WITHOUT WARNING. OUR VEHICLE HAS HESITATION AND THAT IS ONE OF THE SYMPTOMS NOTED IN THE RECALL. WE DO NOT WANT TO WAIT ANY LONGER FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED, AND WE DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE TO PAY...

RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL MORE THAN 60 DAYS AGO, NHTSA NO.20V-682 "LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP MAY STALL VEHICLE AND CAUSE CRASH" CALLED BOTH MY DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA WITH RESPONSE OF: "NO DATE FOR REMEDY" I HAVE TRAVEL PLANNED AND THIS 2019 HIGHLANDER SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD FOR FEAR OF CRASH. WHY NO POSITIVE RESULT YET?

VEHICLE HAD A PROLONGED HESITATION WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE INTO MOVING TRAFFIC WHILE RAMPING ONTO THE INTERSTATE. AFTER THE HESITATION THE VEHICLE THEN SURGED INTO TRAFFIC.

ALTHOUGH MY CAR WAS NEW (ONLY 11 MONTHS OLD) AND LESS THAN 5000 MILES, IT HAD SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY WHILE I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP OVERNIGHT. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY FAULTY FUEL PUMP AND THAT THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THAT HAPPEN TO SUCH A NEW CAR BEFORE. CURRENTLY I HAVE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON (MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 6200 MILES ON IT) AND IT ONLY GOES AWAY WHEN I PUT IN A FULL TANK OF GAS. AFTER I DRIVE ABOUT 2 MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON AGAIN. I AM TERRIFIED MY CAR ENGINE WILL JUST DIE ONCE I'M ON THE ROAD, OR WORSE, THE FREEWAY. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITHOUT THAT FEAR. PLEASE SEE CULVER CITY TOYOTA RECORDS FOR PROOF OF MY FUEL PUMP PROBLEM AND ENGINE...

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON THE RECALL LIST SINCE JANUARY 2020, BUT TOYOTA STILL HAS NOT ISSUED ME A NOTICE TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED. THEY CONTINUE TO SAY OVER THE PHONE THAT THEY HAVE NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THEY SHOULD ISSUE THE NOTICE SO I CAN GET THE PUMP REPLACED BEFORE THE TRANS ON THE HIGHWAY. SO FAR I HAVE NOT HAD A MALFUNCTION.

LACK OF RESPONSIVENESS IN ACCELERATION FROM A STOP; SLUGGISH RESPONSE TO PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR WHILE MOVING AND ATTEMPTING TO PASS SLOWER MOVING VEHICLES; HAVE NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT MORE THAN ONCE WHEN TURNING/PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC WITH PLENTY OF SPACE BUT UNABLE TO ACCELERATE CORRECTLY. ALSO UNEVEN SHIFTING; TRANSMISSION JERKS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS.

VEHICLE RAN WELL FOR ABOUT 5 MONTHS BUT STARTED HESITATING, REDUCED THROTTLE RESPONSE AND JUMPING FORWARD ONCE GAS PEDAL DEPRESSED FURTHER. HESITATION FELT IN STEERING WHEEL AND TRANSMISSION SHIFTING IRREGULAR. NOTHING ON COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS, THEREFORE NOTHING WRONG ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP. HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION.

WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THERE IS A HESITATION FROM WHEN I PUSH THE GAS PEDAL AND WHEN THE CAR ACTUALLY ACCELERATES. IT HAPPENS FROM A COMPLETE STOP SOMETIMES ALSO. SOMETIMES THE CAR JERKS WHEN IT DOES THIS. THE PASSENGER CAN FEEL IT ALSO

ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE CAR SHUTTING DOWN. THE FIRST TIME, WE HAD TO TOW IT TO TOYOTA AT THE DEALERSHIPS ADVICE. THE SECOND TIME WAS ON THE 465 AROUND INDIANAPOLIS WHEN MY WIFE HAD TO SLAM ON BRAKES TO AVOID A LAST MINUTE CAR STOPPAGE AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN FOR 6 MINUTES CAUSING MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER TO BE IN VERY UNSAFE CONDITIONS. IN BOTH CASES, THE DEALERSHIPS TOLD US THAT THE TESTS SHOWED THE CAR HAD NO FULL SHUT DOWNS WHICH IS NOT ACCURATE. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE AND I AM NERVOUS ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND OTHERS SAFETY.

MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER RECALL NO. 20V-012 SINCE MARCH OF THIS YEAR. I CALLED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AT LEAST TWICE TO ASK ABOUT IT & WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO FIX FOR IT AT THE TIMES I INQUIRED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN A FIX WAS AVAILABLE. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE. ON 9/15/20 I WAS MAKING A TURN OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO A CITY STREET WHEN THE CAR BEGAN HESITATING & MADE ONLY HALTING MOVEMENTS. IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND ABOUT 3-4 MPH. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH A LOW FUEL PRESSURE MESSAGE & A MESSAGE TO TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALER. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO PUT ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS & SLOWLY LIMP INTO ANOTHER ENTRANCE TO THE PARKING LOT. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP NOTIFIED ME THE FOLLOWING...

GAS SPILLING AFTER FUEL PUMP RECALL*** EVER SINCE FUEL PUMP RECALL WAS DONE ON 08/15/2020, THE CAR IS LEAVING ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN I FILL MY GAS TANK IN THE GAS STATION AND IT'S SPILLING OUT GAS EVEN AFTER THE PUMP NOZZLE CUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENED TWICE ( ACTUALLY 3 TIMES) AND STARTED ONLY AFTER THIS RECALL WAS DONE. LAST NIGHT (9/6/2020) WHEN I WAS FILLING GAS IN A GAS STATION ABOUT 50 MILES FROM HOME, IT DID SPRAYOUT/SPILLED A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS ( ALMOST HALF GALLON ) INTO THE GROUND LEAVING ME IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SO I DROVE BACK TO WHERE I LIVE AND WENT INTO A SONOCO TO CONFIRM THE ISSUE. THIS TIME THE GAS GOT SPILLED EVEN AFTER THE PUMP NOZZLE CUT OFF AND STOPPED PUMPING. ALMOST A QUARTER GALLON GAS SPILLED OUT. WHEN IT HAPPENED FOR THE FIRST TIME ON AUGUST...

2019 HIGHLANDER PURCHASED 12/2019. I GUESS I AM LUCKY, MINE HAS NOT STALLED YET. VERY POOR THROTTLE RESPONSE. TAKEN TO AUTIO NATION TOYOTA FT MYERS 3 TIMES INCLUDING HAVING A REGIONAL REP THERE. HE CLAIMS MINE IS OPERATING WITHIN FACTORY SPECS. SUPPOSEDLY MINE IS NOT A PART OF THE FUEL PUMP ISSUE. NOT THAT IT MATTERS TOYOTA SAYS THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

FUEL PUMP RECALL - CAR STUTTER OR HESIATATES WHILE AT A RED LIGHT. DEALER GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTEN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STANDING START THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY ACCELERATE AND IMMEDIATELY HESITATE BEFORE ACCELERATING AND OPERATING AS NORMAL. THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED AFTER THE RECALL REMEDY WAS PERFORMED FOR THE NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 20V012000(FUEL SYSTEM). THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT YET DETERMINED. THE DEALER TOYOTA OF SARASOTA LOCATE AT 7435 TAMIAMI TRAIL SARASOTA FL. AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,250.

ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, 07/17/2020 AND 07/29/2020, MY VEHICLE CUT OFF/STALLED AFTER I HAVE ACCELERATED FROM A STOP LIGHT. AFTER I REACHED THE SPEED OF ABOUT 15 MPH AND THEN FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE ENGINE SHUT OFF FOR 3-4 SECONDS WHILE MY FOOT WAS STILL DEPRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR. THEN JUST AS SUDDEN, THE ENGINES POWER COMES BACK ON AND JERKS ALL PASSENGERS BACK IN THEIR SEATS.I NEVER TOUCHED THE BRAKE DURING BOTH OCCURRENCES.THE BOTH TIMES IT HAPPENED I WAS ON A MULTI LANE CITY STREET.THE ISSUE HERE IS THAT BY MY VEHICLE STOPPING SUDDENLY WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKE MY BRAKE TAIL LIGHTS WILL NOT WARN THE DRIVER BEHIND ME, AND HE MAY IF HE IS NOT PAYING ATTENTION REAR END MY VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED ON TWO

WHILE DRIVING IN A CITY WARNINGS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON: "HYBRID SYSTEM FAILED", "ALL WHEEL DRIVE FAILED", "TAKE CAR TO THE DEALER", AND THE CAR STOPPED. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. FOLLOWING DAY THE DEALER CALLED ME TO SAY THAT EVERYTHING IN THE CAR CHECKED OUT OK AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, I'M NOW VERY WEARY OF TAKING THE CAR ON A TRIP BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT MAY QUIT AGAIN. THE CAR JUST TURNED 10K MILES.

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.

TOYATA ISSUED A RECALL FOR A FAULTY LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP IN MAY BUT HAS NOT REPLACED IT IN MY CAR.

VEHICLE STALLS OUT SEVERAL TIMES. HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALERSHIP BUT NO PROBLEM FOUND. WE WERE DRIVING THE VEHICLE MADE A TURN ONTO A MAJOR STREET DURING RUSH HOUR. IT STALLED OUT, WE JUST MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CAR FINALLY GAVE OUT AND DID NOT START AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO POOR POWER WHILE DRIVING AND CAN ENDANGER PEOPLE IN THE CAR AS WELL AS SURROUNDING VEHICLES.
