“Takata recall. I am having several issues with the whole braking system, as it is very difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of having no brakes. I have no type of brakes at all. When taken off parking, even with foot on brake, car will begin to move. This seems to be very common in these cars. The fuel pump was also replaced as it was letting less power go through. This happens as the car sits in parking, as well as, when driving. Also, the mechanic that looked at the car said that the pump needed to be replaced due to possible fire hazards. …”
NHTSA complaint #11184279, filed 2019-03, 150,000 miles“Car will stall at any speed. Will restart after about 15 tries. Happens after filling tank. 1st thought it was bad gas. But tried different stations. Same problem. Sporadic. Often happens when I shut off car and then attempt to start it again a few minutes later. Doesn't seem to be a problem when the car is cold. Very dangerous situation on high speed roadways.”
NHTSA complaint #10702127, filed 2015-03, 140,000 miles“Engine cuts out while driving at any speed. Sometimes immediately resumes, sometimes car sits for up to 45 minutes to presumably cool off. Started to happen once per week, and within a few weeks was once per day. Presents a problem while driving at high speed on the highway or making local road maneuvers as power steering and power brakes loose power. Mechanic examined and concluded the fuel pump and or fuel pump wiring was faulty.”
NHTSA complaint #10421421, filed 2011-08, 67,000 miles“My moms fuel pump went out, I had it replaced. The mechanic took the old fuel pump out and discovered that the wiring harness was melted, on both sides. In the fuel tank and outside of it. It is only a wonder that the car did not catch fire. I had a new fuel pump put in.”
NHTSA complaint #10207481, filed 2007-10“The contact stated at highway speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning, but restarted.

Updated 2/16/2007 - the dealer reported that the fuel pump wiring was faulty.”
