Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2016 Lexus RX350

The vehicle was stalling and sputtering after driving less than 0. 1 mile on a city street. After contacting the Lexus dealership regarding the issue, we had the vehicle towed into the Lexus dealership. After running a diagnostic check, they determined the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle has 51,701 miles on it. The towing charge was $101, and the repairs were $808. 96. Approximately a month later, I saw that Toyota and Lexus were recalling various models and years with a similar issue that we experienced. Although the 2016 Rx350 is not currently included, I contacted Lexus because the coincidence was too much to ignore. Lexus advised that our vehicle is not currently included in recall NHTSA 20v012000.

I have almost been t-boned four times in 2 months since I bought this vehicle due to it randomly stalling briefly while turning. Occasionally I lose power while going uphill, and I have had several instances of my vehicle �jumping� or surging. It happens while I am driving, but the majority if the time I have noticed it, it happens when I am turning or accelerating. I have not had any lights on the dashboard come on, but I have has this issue since day one of buying the vehicle and when I saw the recall that was expanded today on Toyota and Lexus vehicles for a faulty fuel pump, I started reading about it and it sounds like exactly what my issue is. The recall covers 2017-2019 and my car is a 2016, but I believe it should be included as well.
