Truck was in Toyota shop in Vermont for stalling of vehicle. Thought it was fuel pump due to recent recall - specifically asked if it could be that and was told no. They found mice nest in intake manifold, knock sensor was found to be chewed, and replaced. Once I received my vehicle, it continued to do the same thing after 2 days. Upon looking under the hood, found that the air intake filter was left off. I fixed that, and then the same issue starting occurring again. Had to have my vehicle towed to different shop (to trusted mechanic) they have found after replacing the battery and a mass air flow sensor, that it is truly in fact the fuel pump. They tested fuel pump and it's only putting out 20psi instead of 40. I called Toyota, but they are claiming that only the newer Toyota are affected, but on the recall list it goes back to 2013 in different models. This seems similar to the issue Subaru was having with their air bags. My Toyota dealership, should not just be assuming that this couldn't be correlated with faulty fuel pump. My vehicles symptoms are the same as what the recall has stated happens. Before denying me anything, they should be willing to at least investigate and look at my vehicle. It's also suspicious to me that my vehicle started doing this about 2 weeks prior to a huge safety recall coming out in regards to fuel pumps.

Got a pretty major fuel leak leaking out of left side behind drivers door coming out of the frame rail. Has around 120,000 miles. Took it to the dealer and they said it's the fuel pump computer, no warranty or tsb. Seems like this should be warrantable because it's safety related. Truck could have caught fire if somebody flipped a cigarette under it in traffic. It's a steady drip about one drip per second while the truck is running. After you shut it off, the leak stops after a couple minutes as it depressurizes.

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Tundra. While operating the vehicle, a fuel odor was present. The vehicle was taken to Toyota of sanford (3321 hwy 87, South sanford, nc 27332) where it was diagnosed that the fuel lines failed due to material deterioration, which caused fuel to leak onto and around the engine block and the exhaust manifold. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 190927-1657. The failure mileage was unknown.

I was carrying an old battery on the truck bed and the battery leaks so the fluid spilled over my fuel tank and burn/corrode the vacuum and gas lines. I think the fuel tank should be protected with an upper skill plate because is a truck and you always carry different things and this is kind of expose or drain holes of the bed are not located properly, so they wanna charge me 2K dls for something that is a bad design problem.
