Vehicle stalled in traffic at an intersection. Several warning lights displayed at the same time and was unable to steer or safely pull to the side of the road. Car would not start until key was removed and restarted. Was very fortunate that traffic was minimal and an accident was avoided. I'm certain this is secondary to the fuel pump recall that apparently, for some reason does not have a fix.
We had our fuel pump replaced in March 2021 by recall on our 2019 Camry. Four months later, at 70 mph on the interstate, the engine cut out several times with the engine jerking on and off. Also, we had multiple malfunctions and warning lights on dash which included but were not limited to LDA Malfunction, Pre-collision system malfunction, secondary brake system malfunction, check engine light on and reduced cruise control malfunction. We were lucky and managed to get off the road without getting hit from behind. We got off the interstate and managed to get home in "limp mode" with the engine cutting out another 4-5 times. On July 16, 2021, the dealer installed a second fuel pump after they reproduced the problem and verified the pump installed in March, 2021 was the problem. The mechanic said the defective fuel pump would be returned to Toyota for them to cut open and examine. There were no messages or symptoms prior to this failure with multiple warning lamps and malfunction messages appearing as the fuel pump failed. Spouse now will not drive the car and I do not trust it.
Upon acceleration vehicle hesitates if car is started from a complete stop you press on the gas pedal and it takes like 1 to 5 seconds before you feel any acceleration.

I purchased my 2019 Camry in Nov 2019. It has a tendency to be sluggish and I thought it was due to it being a 4 cylinder until I received the recall. Now, I am concerned about taking trips anywhere for fear of it stalling out.

On multiple occasions (about 3-4 times a week) when starting my vehicle the engine stalls and I have to retry at least twice for my car to start. At red lights the vehicle lags and takes a moment to pick up speed. Often in a jerking motion. When accelerating to speeds above 20-80 mph the stalling starts again and does not feel safe while driving. We notified our dealership about the issue when getting serviced and they stated they could not provide any information on why it was doing this. We have had this problem since December 2019 and has progressively gotten worse. Once we received the notification about the fuel pump recall we requested for the dealership to take our car in for the recall fuel pump and they refused to take our car and advised us to go to other Toyota/ Lexus dealerships. The other Toyota/Lexus dealerships told us to go back to the original dealership were we get are car serviced at have them take our car in for service. When we went to the original Toyota dealership where we purchased our car from, they still refused to provide a rental since we explained them how unsafe the car is while driving. We have tried emailing and do not get any responses. We also tried calling to speak with the manager but none of the managers have taken our calls or tried to call us back.

When I had left my house, I pressed the throttle and the car wouldn't go, it was coasting still, but its like it wouldn't go. Then, I pumped the throttle and put it all the way to the floor. It had finally went. This car also seems to have a massive delay when we press the throttle at stop lights. I have contacted Toyota about the recall, which they did not inform me of, I had to look it up myself due to the nature of the issues I was experiencing. Sure enough. Fuel pump showed up on the recall which would make sense to why I'm experiencing these issues, the engine is not getting enough gas. Not only did Toyota not inform me of the recall but they still have not found a "remedy" for the issue, while I have seen a couple people commenting on their facebook page that their had been fixed. Also, had found out I'm not the only one Toyota had not informed of the recall and seems to be a lawsuit currently because of that. I have a newborn. Whats going to happen if the fuel pump goes out with him in it?
The vehicle has an intermittent acceleration issue. You will have to press the gas pedal all the way to the floor sometimes just to get it to 40 mph. Also at high speed, the vehicle will shake on the highway. Sometimes when this occurs the steering wheel becomes stiffer.
When I am at the red light and is about to go there is acceleration delay that happens which I believe to be dangerous. Even when am driving and I was to speed up there is acceleration delay.
Started noticing that the car was feeling weak when accelerating, and with no reason at all, at speeds around 70mph the car shuts down completely. You lose steering and braking capabilities which makes it hard to safely merge into the emergency lane. Toyota has a knowledged the recall but with no remedy as of yet (it has been since October 2020 that they recall was issued), and says car is unsafe that if I drive vehicle to stay in right lane of interstate which to me is just as dangerous as traveling in any lane on interstate, though they recommended not driving vehicle. As far as I can tell, the vehicle only will stall out at a higher speed (around 70mph).

I purchased the vehicle from a dealer in June of 2020 and was unaware of any ongoing recalls or that any required service had not been completed. I've had the vehicle in the shop multiple times for engine stalling while driving, engine shaking, misfiring, and loss of forward momentum. Not once did they tell me about the recall or that Toyota was aware of the problem until I took the vehicle to a different automotive shop. The new shop gave me all the recall information and advised that the vehicle is not safe to drive. The engine will sputter and shake in idle and in reverse. Consistently the vehicle shakes and runs very rough when in idle, reverse or attempting to accelerate from stop lights, red lights, parking lots, etc. Dealership told me that I wasn't used to the electronic fuel ignition and that the sputtering and delay in forward momentum was normal. One time I was driving 65mph and the vehicle stalled while on a island causeway. Luckily I was in the right had lane and was able to get off the road safely. Another time the vehicle stalled was in a parking lot (again slow speed) and again in reverse. The vehicle did sustain rodent damage to wiring on 2 occasions which the dealership repaired, noted the multiple engine misfires and "cleared the codes". the vehicle ran better for about a week and then the same problem begins reoccurring. The spark plugs continue to foul due to the engine fuel pressure issue.
I was in the drive thru queue at burger king and I had the brake hold activated, waiting for my turn. The car just vibrated and shut down. I tried to start it again it never started. On the dash it said coolant temp high, charging system malfunction, drive start control malfunction, brake override malfunction. I thought I needed antifreeze so I walked to sunoko to buy one. Tried to put some in but antifreeze was full so I couldn't top up. The antifreeze is in the trunk. I tried to get a jump thinking it was the battery but it still didn't start. I towed to Toyota and now they're telling me the computers are not communicating right with each other. My gas says 65535mi distance to empty. My car is been sitting at the dealership for a week now and they didn't give me a loaner car even though I have warranty on it.

I recently purchased a 2019 Camry pre-owned. It ran fine for a week until it would start a jerking motion and the engine just turns off while I am driving. I am concerned that this could cause an accident especially on a busy highway. Thankfully I was near an autozone. While in the jerking motion, the check engine light comes on and the steering wheel locks. This is the 3rd time in a week that the car has stalled out while driving.
Vehicle lacks power after slowing down at a yield signs or corners, (not every time) when you try to increase speed it takes a second for the power to increase. On highways, the rpms will increase or decrease 100-700 at times with or without the cruise control engaged seems to be a fuel supply issue. Been to two different dealerships and they can never duplicate the issue in the service centers. Started right before the 15,000 mile service and continues now at 30,000 mile service.
When the car stops and then gets ready to take off there is hesitation when applying gas. Car often lags. Does not accelerate consistently as it should. Primarily occurs after car is moving slowly and seems as if the car is struggling to take off, this happens upon stopping at a traffic light and taking off and upon driving on the expressway then trying to get up to the speed with traffic.
