2015 Toyota 4RUNNER Fuel system Problems

“About 4-5 times per year for the past 4 years my vehicle will hesttate or stall for 3-4 seconds when trying to accelerate after stopping at a red light or stop sign. This happens intermittently, at no regular sequence, and without warning of any kind. I have not received a letter from the manufacturer about a recall, but the NHTSA informed me that a fuel pump recall notice was made public on january 20, 2020. …”

“My children and I almost died twice! 4 runner almost caused serious injury or death. 9/24/20, 6:15 pmish, vehicle in motion for approximately over an hour, 70mph cruise control set, beginning to climb up a large mountain westbound interstate 8. Engine hesitates/stalls briefly, steering became difficult, car shuddered, was difficult to maintain control of vehicle, only lasted seconds. At a slower speed engine back up and all was fine, assumed it was not a major issue. Continued driving the vehicle for the next two days at same higher speeds and for long periods of time. …”

“The 4RUNNER hesitates at 40mph and 60mph when trying to coast/maintain speed with slight pressure on the gas pedal. At other speeds or while accelerating at 40/60mph there is no hesitation. I took it to the dealership, but they said they can't replicate the problem. It is still happening though.”

“Toyota 4 runner had a recall for the fuel pump. I have been having starting issues with it ever since. The power is good and the starter tries to turn the vehicle over. But the vehicle won't start. I have taken it to multiple locations for service through out the chicago land area. Also once the vehicle finally does start. The R.P.M.s will suddenly increase and decrease to the point that the vehicle turns off while in drive. I can provide print outs when the vehicle gets fixed, if ever. I purchased the vehicle as CPO.”

“Toyota came out with recall 1-13-2020 (NHTSA recall number 20v012) and as of 5-29-2020, they still claim that no remedy is available. What is a timely period to wait?”
