On December 8 , 2020, the above referenced vehicles engine stalled three times while in driving mode. On all three occasions, the vehicle was moving at a speed less than 40 mph. The vehicle restarted after each stall, when the gear shifter was placed in park. The vehicle seemed to be running out of fuel and/or having fuel pump problems. The fuel level of the vehicle was half full. I purchased the vehicle October 21, 2020. Todate, I have experienced 5 engine stalls. The vehicle had approximately 28. 700 miles. The malfunctioning of the vehicle is an ongoing problem that has been reported the dealer as well as butler Toyota in macon georgia who informed me that they were not sure if they could diagnose the problem without keeping it for weeks, possibly at my personal expense. I chose not to leave the vehicle under the circumstances. I will return the car to the seller under the 90 day certified warranty agreement. Also, I will continue to pursue whatever remedy Toyota may provide under the vehicles remaining warranty. I traded a 2013 Toyota highlander on the vehicle in question. I am a very disappointed Toyota customer who is very concerned about the safety of the vehicle in question.

System malfunction—the ‘brake’ alert flashed and chirped when there was no obstacle on the road. Safety issue—I was about to hit the brakes but I realized in time there was no need. Confirmed? no not at this time. Possibly have it reviewed at next maintenance. No inspection yet. This has occurred infrequently in the past.
