Other Fuel System Pump Problems of Toyota Avalon

On October 28, 2020, Toyota announced it was conducting a safety recall involving certain Toyota and Lexus vehicles produced between July 2017 through December 2019 due to the same fuel pump issue for which they announced a safety recall in January 2020. The referenced vehicle door sticker shows a production date of 12/19, which is within the production period announced on 10/28/2020. However, the VIN on this vehicle does not appear on any recall list and the dealer tells me there are no recalls for my vehicle. Nonetheless, I have experienced several instances where the vehicle feels like it is about to stall: when making a turn or driving on city streets; in some instances (including today) it is when starting from a stop sign or traffic light; other times it is when accelerating. There have been two instances where this happened while making a left turn at an intersection. In one such instance, a yellow triangle warning light flashed momentarily on the vehicle's display. This issue was reported to the selling dealer during the last routine maintenance visit on may 4, 2021. In reference to this complaint, the dealer work order reported technician "was unable to duplicate customers concern at this time vehicle is currently operating within all manufacturers specifications".

Recall# 20v-682,if a vehicle stalls while driving,this could increase the risk of a crash. Toyota is talking about the recall for a low pressure fuel pump which may stop operating. This is a serious safety condition which could endanger the lives of my family and myself. This condition has been reported to me in November 2020 with no remedy in sight. All I want is for Toyota to fix my problem ASAP,or tell me to park my vehicle and use a loaner from Toyota till serious condition is fixed. There are several class action suits due to this problem with the fuel pumps made in china for several years.

My vehicle is equipped with a low pressure fuel pump which may stop operating if this was to happen the vehicle will stall and not be able to restart and if it happens while driving on the interstate which I drive 45 mins one way to work daily then the car will lock up and I wont be able to move it and could cause accidents to where the vehicle could explode and Toyota has no idea how to fix it and its been sitting since oct 2020. I have contacted their corporate office and the dealership in which neither are willing to work with me in regards to payments being exempt till they know how to fix my car. They said its either I wait it out till they know or trade it in for an equal trade. My issue here is the car has lost equity in it so the new loan would probably be upside down on the ltv which is costing me, they pull my credit which would make it go down, dont get me wrong its loan worthy but why should I have to go thru all this red tape when they are the ones who caused the issue by selling a lemon to customers. Why do I have to continue to make payments on a car that I have only owned since may 2020 and has been sitting since oct that I can only look at . . . I mean how long does one have to payout without getting anything in return? this cannot be legal for them to continue to charge people for products they cant use??? I love this Avalon and it is top of the line with the extras so I am completely happy with it but Toyota is not being fair. They have given me the rental car so I dont loose my job but that is something they should do for god sakes. And that doesnt have anything to do at all with the payments I have to pay on a car I can only look at for the last 4 months. . . Please help me thank you in advance.

I own a 2018 Toyota Avalon that is subject to recall for a potentially defective fuel pump. I took the car in 8/3/2020 to fix the problem. I was advised the dealer did not have the correct fuel pump in parts and that it will be late sept. Or oct. Before they have the correct fuel pump. In the interim, I have a vehicle with a potential safety issue.

Checking on the status of the fuel pump recall?? was supposed to get a notice by may but have not received the notice yet. I entered the 17 digit VIN numeber in your form but got no response.

The fuel pump failed, my 2019 Toyota Avalon stalled in traffic putting everyone in harms way. And there was no way to get to safety, many were at risk, why? the car was in motion and stopped! it was a turn affecting drivers behind me, in front of me, involving traffic on two streets of an intersection.

After seeing a news report about a fuel pump recall in Toyota Avalons, I checked my VIN on the NHTSA website and, indeed, my vehicle is included in the recall. I immediately contacted my salesperson at the Toyota dealership and asked him to check on the recall resolution. He responded that there was no remedy available yet. Since the recall occurred in January 2020, it is unacceptable that there is no remedy yet. I have never received any documentation or correspondence from Toyota regarding this recall. I am a senior citizen with impaired health who lives alone. It is critical that I have a safe vehicle to drive to my frequent medical appointments. That is why I purchased this vehicle in the first place. I do have to drive on highways in order to get to these appointments and this recall makes me very anxious!.

I have 95000 miles on my Toyota Avalon limited hybrid. While driving down the road it just quit - dead stop (very dangerous) and, had it not been a hybrid, I would not have been able to get it off of the interstate. Turns out that the fuel pump stopped working with no warning. My last Avalon went almost 300,000 miles on the same fuel pump. The pump, in my opinion, is faulty but out of warranty. Toyota is charging over $1,000 to fix it. I tried to get Toyota management contact information (district mgr. ) from the dealership but they would not supply it in order for me to draw attention to Toyota of the premature failure of a key component of the car. I called Toyota headquarters, got the same response and felt like they could care less that there may be a deficiency in their components. This is a serious safety issue. I have seen online others that have had this early failure of the fuel pump. Toyota needs to look into this life threatening problem and they need to issue a TSB on it and perform the work at cost vs making money on something that could kill me and my family members. I still can get over their lack of concern.

While driving on the road the vehicle will stall as if it's not getting any fuel. When the vehicle is parked and turned off I can hear the fuel pump running.

I have not heart about my recall which is ongoing and is dangerous, I want it repaired as soon as possible as it concerning, as per Toyota, a malfunctioned fuel pump, please help.
