we took our corolla to the San Luis Obispo toyota dealership for replacement of fuel pump per national recall of that part. Since then whenever we park the car on an incline we can strongly smell gas fumes in the cabin. When we took it back stating the problem they took it in but did not touch anything on the car (there were items on the back seat they would need to remove I order to get to the gas tank that contains the fuel pump.) When we went in the invoice was marked "call after five" in pencil

Vehicle has a bank to lean 1 engine code and when at idle, fluctuates from 700 rpm down below 500 RPM and shakes the car. The vehicle has stalled twice on me while stopped at a stop light. I understand the vehicle has had two recalls for the same issue and it has not fixed the problem yet.

Toyota didn't install new fuel pump in my car. I set it up to be done when I had the air bags done. They did the air bags but never did the fuel pump recall. I've been fighting with them ever since. Now my fuel pump is going out. My car stalls when I put any amount of gas in it. I'm afraid it will stall while I'm driving which is why there is a recall on the part.

2019 Toyota Corolla, I am the second owner. Vehicle has 66,000 miles. Vehicle will turn over, start for a very small second, and then stall (shuts off). Throttle body and battery have been changed. Car runs, then stalls. Im 24 and I bought the car because they're supposed to be safe and last. I brought this vehicle home in March and the joke is on me because not only does it choose to run, but it's not safe to even think about driving it. What happens if it chooses to just stop on the highway at 65 mph? Dangerous. I have a family. Very upset.

Fuel is not filling up all the way. Fuel has once splashed out when stopped automatically. Used to have around 445 miles per tank, but now around 395. It had started around 59000 miles. I have had the dealership inspect and see if their were engine codes but there weren-??t any. The time and care shouldn-??t stop just because the check engine light isn't on as it may be a safety or mechanical issue in the future. I would like my car to be looked into as it may be in line with the fuel pump issues on the 2018 Camry, a family member owned one that was recalled for a fuel pump replacement so maybe a Corolla wouldn-??t be to uncommon as well to have a know problem from the same company. I present with the utmost respect and hope I can get assistance and guidance on this minor issue as of now. Thank you for taking the time to read. Best Regards, A Toyota Corolla Hatchback Owner.

Waiting at a stop light, The light turns green and I go to pull through the intersection with the intention of going under the overpass to get on the freeway. When the car gets to about 10-15 mph The car makes a pop noise & stalled. It felt like suddenly it was dragging a lot of weight and slowly I guided it to the right side of the road under the overpass for the freeway. I tried to start the vehicle and I didn-??t do anything I couldn-??t move the shifter and that-??s when I knew the transmission had to of been the issue. So I called roadside assistance through my insurance they said it would be 90 minutes I had to wait underneath the freeway with the vehicle. A AAA tow truck driver that was about to board the freeway stopped even though he didn-??t have the call And tried to see if I had AAA so he could tell me, I did not So he got in to see what was wrong with the vehicle immediately you could tell the shifter he then pulled out what he called the belief shift override and he put a screwdriver To release the shifter I get it into neutral so when the tow truck driver showed he could tow it. I had called Toyota to make sure that I could have the car towed there he said that-??s fine. When I arrived to the Toyota dealership the service department was closed because it was Sunday which I understood but I had to be to work at nine and it was already close to two. I have two sons that were both at their daycare/babysitter which I would-??ve need to return to pick up at 6 PM 7 PM the latest. All the representatives had no help for me even with it being my third car from the dealership. The Toyota Corolla LE is a 2019 with only 29,149 miles on it. I-??m a light driver the vehicle goes to work & the grocery store. I had a service appointment Scheduled for August 6 at 7 AM For a basic service check fluids rotate tires, no oil change, received email 8:20am Claiming I canceled appointment. Night before incident check engine light came

I have a 2019 Corolla hatchback xse the main problem is that at least in 30 occasions the car doesn't respond when I push the accelerator has almost caused a accident at least 3 times. I have taken it 2 times to the dealer. The first they told me they knew of the problem but there was nothing they could do since they didin't have a fix. Last time I took it about 2 months ago they told me my car wasn't in the recall list. I checked the part and it is in fact the model that has the issue. What are they waiting for me to crash.

Toyota recalled most Toyota vehicles my car was one of them at the beginning of the year my vehicle sat at an all stat Toyota in baton rouge, la 70815 for over 3 to 4 months while I drove a rental by the company itself. When I received the vehicle back I was told all of the defects were completed and my car should be running perfect. Immediacy within that week my car was still 'stalling' I have two small children, I immediacy told the service manager, he drove my vehicle around the block and determined nothing was wrong on his end and didn't offer me any other remedy. Not only do I not think this is right the negligence in Toyota of the safety of their customers is beyond me, again I have two small children til this day my vehicle stalls at certain points especially going through oncoming traffic. How am I supposed to drive this car and I'm putting myself and my children's life in danger. And if we die because of this defect Toyota will continue to make millions off of their negligence.

From NHTSA website: Jan 13,2020 manufacturer recall number 20ta02 NHTSA recall number 20V012 recall status recall incomplete summary the subject vehicles are equipped with a low-pressure fuel pump which may stop operating. If this were to occur, warning lights and messages may be displayed on the instrument panel, and the engine may run rough. This may result in a vehicle stall, and the vehicle may be unable to be restarted. Safety risk if a vehicle stall occurs while driving at higher speeds, this could increase the risk of a crash. On 09/12/2020 I called the dealership to have the fuel pump replaced. They could not schedule me before 10/12/2020 due to the fact that the fuel pump is on back order. Toyota knew since at least January 2020 that there was a problem with the fuel pump. In September 2020 on back order?!

Toyota is taking an unreasonable amount of time finding a remedy for the fuel pump recall. My wife and I are afraid to drive long distances. Why can Toyota not replace the fuel pump with one from a prior year that worked" can I, at my own expense, have a mechanic install another type of fuel pump that works"

Nothing has happened yet, but the recall on fuel pumps indicates that we could have a crash and maybe injuries or death if we drive the car. We are afraid to take a long distance trip. The manufacturer has taken an unreasonable amount of time providing a remedy. Our local dealer, world Toyota, has been contacted several times, but us waiting for Toyota to provide a remedy. No one can even predict when or if that will ever happen.

Received two recalls for safety features. Recall 1/13/20 fuel pump issue that may cause vehicle to suddenly stall causing a crash. Recall 1/17/20 ECU recall that can cause air bags and seat pretensioners to not deploy in a crash. Going on two months with no remady. This seems unacceptable as only mode if transportation with children, that could encounter a safety risk at any moment.
