Other Fuel System Pump Problems of Toyota 4Runner

Our fuel pump and a gasket went out at same time. No warning it was going to happen, lunged forward 5 feet and then died. Going to cost $1,000 to fix. It looks like Toyota has recalls on fuel pumps but it doesn't cover our year yet.

The fuel pump failed during driving which was described in a recall but Toyota will not fix or reimburse the repair.

Received notification about a recall regarding fuel pump. Contacted centennial Toyota 6551 centennial center blvd. Las vegas 89149 on Monday August 10, 2020 and was advised that they needed to order parts and that they would contact me for scheduling an appointment. Three weeks later on August 31, 2020 I called centennial and requested the service manager to inquire of status on parts in which he stated parts are not in and that "I" should call back in 2 weeks. As of this date September 17, 2020 I have not received a call from centennial Toyota.

Toyota sent out a safety recall no. 20v-012 for the fuel pump stating "if a vehicle stall occurs while driving, this could increase the risk of a crash. " yet, they have no remedy now, and no remedy in the future to fix this.

About 4-5 times per year for the past 4 years my vehicle will hesttate or stall for 3-4 seconds when trying to accelerate after stopping at a red light or stop sign. This happens intermittently, at no regular sequence, and without warning of any kind. I have not received a letter from the manufacturer about a recall, but the NHTSA informed me that a fuel pump recall notice was made public on January 20, 2020. I have contacted my local dealer on two occasions, but they tell me the same thing each time, that I need to wait on a letter from the manufacturer telling me that they will remedy the situation. As of this date, 4/23/2020, I have not received such a letter, and the NHTSA says the same thing. My understanding is that the manufacturer has to send such a remedy letter within 60 days of the public notification, and that time period has expired. It seems that the problem with my vehicle could very well be the fuel pump needing to be replaced. Can you pursue the manufacturer to issue their remedy letter before a serious accident occurs?.

I bought a new 2019 Toyota 4 runner sr5 premium June 2019, I received by mail a recall notice fuel pump in Feb 2020, then notified again it was not a recall between March-may 2020. Then, in oct 2020 Toyota issued the same recall fuel pump but I wasn't notified until Jan/Feb 2021 by mail. I took it to the dealer in Feb, they called Toyota who said they didn't have the parts for a remedy. We know what the problem is with the fuel pump because it was disclosed the impellars & what occurred during the mfg phase. Anyhow the dealer couldn't replace it as I was going to pay out of pocket. I'm very irritated because I bought an unreliable vehicle & can't make a long distance road trip fearing the fuel pump will fail. I'm still waiting for a remedy which is a new fuel pump. It's obvious Toyota doesn't care for people putting their lives at risk driving around with a bad fuel pump. This needs to be resolved once & for all. They need to beef up the re-mfg of the fuel pump & take care of their customers like me that spent 44,000 on a cruddy vehicle. I'm ready to get rid of it. Please help.

My issue is primarily with Toyota corporate and how they are handling the fuel pump recall. A brand new vehicle with less than 5000 miles has a recall for a random fuel pump failure, and Toyota does not have a �remedy� available nor do they have a timeline for when the remedy may be available. They are requiring their customers to assume the risk of the stall or car wreck while they are trying to figure out the cheapest way to replace the fuel pumps in 700,000 vehicles. I am no vehicle engineer, but if the fuel pump is the issue, and they have isolated to a faulty batch of fuel pumps, it seems that the �remedy� would be replacing the fuel pump. My guess is that Toyota is trying to only partially replace or fix parts on the fuel pump to save a few dollars per fix instead of putting their customers first. The least they could do would be to be forthcoming about the timeline or why there is a delay. Instead, they are either putting their customers at risk in a car that they have acknowledged can have a random fuel pump failure leading to bodily harm or injury, or they force their customers into a subpar loaner/rental car (I initially went from a 4runner to a minivan) and having to return to the rental car company to sign a new contract every 30 days.

My vehicle was in motion, and the engine shut off. I was able to restart the vehicle several times, but it would only continue running for 5 to 60 seconds. After about 30 minutes the vehicle started and drove to my destination (home). The problem persisted for 3 days, with only one successful short drive amidst several stalls and restarts. Each time the vehicle started, but did not run for long before dying. I towed it to my local Toyota dealership 9 days ago and they were not able to find any issue. . . The problem seems to have fixed itself, at least for now. However, today the news reported a recall for newer model 4 runners that have a problem with the fuel pump causing the vehicle to stall while driving, posing a serious risk. I believe this may be the same issue that is affecting my 2013 4 runner.

I came home last night at about 9:30 pm and parked the car in the garage. This morning at 7:30 am I went into the garage and heard a buzzing sound coming from near the rear wheels of the car. My best guess was the fuel pump was still running (I had had a different problem with a fuel pump not running when the ignition was turned on with a 2000 Jaguar about a year ago). I turned the ignition on and off without cranking the engine, the buzzing continued. I started the 4runner, ran it for about 20 seconds, and shut the engine off. Buzzing stopped.
