Fuel Pump problems of the 2005 Toyota Corolla

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Corolla. While driving approximately 35 mph up a hill in rainy weather conditions the vehicle began to hesitate before stalling. The vehicle was driven onto the emergency lane and towed to an authorized dealer where he was informed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 55,000. The VIN was unavailable.

Traveling south on I-95, speed 71 mph, engine stops. I carefully and promptly pull over to right shoulder, call aaa and have vehicle towed to local firestone repair facility. After performing diagnostic firestone informs me the fuel pump has failed and replaces the fuel pump. I request and receive the original fuel pump. Previously I have owned 3 Corollas and have driven each of them over 150,000 miles with no fuel pump failures. I am reporting this incident because I feel that this fuel pump might have been faulty and could be very dangerous under certain circumstances.

Bought a new Corolla in 2005. Fuel pump failed after only 39000 miles. Caused the car to abruptly stop running. Fortunately my daughter was in a parking lot. This could have been a serious safety problem if it had happened out on the road. After replacing her keys and engine control module to no avail Toyota finally figured out it was the fuel pump charged her $1067 to replace it. There is no way these fuel pumps should be failing this prematurely.

I was driving my 2005 Toyota Corolla and it stopped running in the middle of rush hour traffic. I was almost rear ended because of this sudden stall of my vehicle. It turns out that the problem was the fuel pump. The fuel pump is being replaced as I write this complaint. The dealer told me that Toyota no longer makes the original pump for the car that cost about $300 because they've been having to service many cars with that particular fuel pump problem. As a result of this problem I have to end up paying about $920 for a new model fuel pump. I can't believe that I the consumer has to pay for Toyota's mistake of not producing a reliable product. What if this would have happened on the freeway while driving 65 mph and the car just stalled on me. I believe that the fuel pump for this vehicle should be recalled because I'm sure this is not the first or last time that this will happen. Toyota should pay the difference for this mistake.

2005 Toyota Corolla le model stalled and would not re-start after driving approximately 10 miles. Fortunately it happened pulling up to the house, and not on the street or freeway. Subsequent investigation by the owner diagnosed the problem as a defective fuel pump. No aftermarket fuel pumps were available, and since Toyota wanted $1039 for a new unit ( ie. , the whole in-tank module), an auto dismantler who specialized in late-model Toyotas was found and the part was obtained for about $100. After installation, the car has performed flawlessly for a month.

Have s 2005 corrola,fuel pump had to be replaced at 65,000 mi. Car shut off suddenly and almost caused an accident!.

Defective fuel pump problem: I own a 2005 Toyota Corolla. One day in August 2009, I parked my car on the street for a few hours and by the time I got back to my car to start the engine, the car wasn't able to start. I had to call the tow truck company to tow my car to an auto repair shop. According to the diagnose from the auto shop, my car failed to start due to defective fuel pump problem and they have to replace the fuel pump assembly.

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Corolla. The vehicle shut off while driving at an unknown speed. The contact was informed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was towed to a repair shop and the fuel pump was replaced at the cost of $900. The dealer was the only place that had the part available. The failure mileage was 30,063.

I was driving back to home after work. The car feels like choked and stopped. I managed to stopped on the side. Car can not be started again. Starter is fine, just can not start the engine. Have it towed to shop and the mechanic told me the fuel pump was dead. Since the car was assembled in japan, the fuel pump is $900 on parts, and labor is extra. I had the car for 4 and half years, less than 50k miles. That is a pump inside the gas tank, which suppose to last at least 10 or 15 years. Lucky there was no car behind me when this happened, otherwise I would be hit from behind.

I have a 2005 Corolla that stalled out on me while I was driving 65 miles an hour. I have always had trouble starting the car, even the day I drove it off the lot brand new. Toyota stated that they didn't see anything wrong with the vehicle when I brought it in a week after purchasing the car. So after it stalled I had the car towed to a local Toyota dealer ship, where I was told that the fuel pump went bad. I was upset that my 4yr old car needed a new fuel pump. I was told that the cost to replace the pump was $1500. I later found out that Toyota put out a technical service bulletin about the faulty pump, and they had to change the design. So Toyota is aware of this design flaw. I had the car towed to a garage, where they put in a used fuel system from a junked car. The cost was about $500, so I hope that this pump will last a few years.

Car stalled on interstate - tried to get as far to right side as possible. Called and waited for a tow truck, which took me to a local auto repair shop. Auto repair shop informed me that I needed a fuel pump replacement, which is strange, since my 2005 Toyota Corolla is just barely 3 and 1/2 years old. Come to find out, when they went to order the part, they said it would cost 3 times the normal amount for a Toyota Corolla fuel pump because mine happen to be made in a batch during a 3 month period in which they no longer made that same sort of fuel pump. I have always kept up with my maintenance checks, so this fuel pump replacement seems like it was bound to happen no matter how well I took care of my car. It's only 3 1/2 years since I acquired this Corolla, and I'm already replacing an item that cost me over $1,500. 00, which is a damage I had no control over. I'm afraid that this particular fuel pump is going to break at some point again, since it seems to be a part that Toyota no longer continued manufacturing. . .

At 53,000 miles, fuel pump went out at an absurd price of $771. 00 after being stuck on the road I had to call a tow.

(1) I bought a brand new 2005 Toyota Corolla. While driving away from the dealership I noticed an odd "humming" noise coming from the vehicle. I immediately took the vehicle back to the dealership where the service personnel informed me that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The part was not in stock, so they ordered it immediately. (2) while driving down the highway the day before the service appointment the car stalled out on me! after I pulled over to the side of the road, the vehicle would not start! I had to have the vehicle towed back to the dealership. (3) the fuel pump was replaced.
