Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My fuel pump has been replaced by the dealer with the recalled part. The vehicle still does the same thing it has been doing since purchasing. It acts like it is not getting gas so hesitates multiple times constantly while driving. Sometimes I pull out and there is a delay in the engine getting gas then it kicks in and is a jerky ride. It mostly happens below 45 MPH. I have felt the delay occasionally above 55 MPH. The problem is not the fuel pump that they are recalling since I already have the new one and the problem is not fixed.”
NHTSA complaint #11374055, filed 2020-11, 30,000 miles“I pulled onto a highway and reaching about 25 MPH the 2019 Sienna hesitated for at least 10 seconds as if it was not getting gas. I pressed the gas wanting to get out of the way of traffic and it jumped slightly but would not go. Then it kicked in with a few hesitations and took off. Another 100' or so, it did it again. Prior to this I had already brought it to Toyota complaining that there is a hesitation when the van is not warmed up yet between 20-40 MPH. It is only slight, but noticeable and feels like it is not getting gas. …”
NHTSA complaint #11278845, filed 2019-11, 20,000 miles“Immediately after purchasing this new 2019 Toyota Sienna I became aware of the vehicle having acceleration problems while attempting to accelerate gradually in a low speed/low torque setting. This occurs at what could be described as parking lot speeds, 5 to 25 MPH, primarily, although the vehicle hesitates and then lurches also at higher speeds when downshifting to gain torque in a 30-50 MPH range also. …”
NHTSA complaint #11184017, filed 2019-03, 10 miles“Toyota notified owners of a fuel pump problem in january 2020. It is now 6 months later and Toyota still does not have a fix for this problem. I am unable to safely use my car and not even the Toyota dealership will offer me enough money to cover my loan in order to sell the car. I am paying $600 a month for a car I can't use and can't sell.”
NHTSA complaint #11329283, filed 2020-06“Car was recalled for fuel pump and I repaired in 8/2020 with approximately 11,190 miles. I had complained that car, since time of purchase and had 4662 miles when I insisted Toyota fix this, (hunted for gears, hesitated, lagged when accelerator pushed, and had poorer gas mileage than expected). The car now has 34,875 miles on it and is doing the same thing, hesitating, lunging between gears. Our mechanic confirmed this and stated worse when using a.c. …”
