This 2019 truck feels like it just doesn-??t want to go. It struggles to go up ANY hill no matter how small. The engine jumps feels like it-??s got a heart beat while riding. The gas mileage is horrendous and awful the 2015 was all around a better truck I read somewhere that Toyota recalled a bunch of 2019 trucks for a gas line rip was causing fires and whatever else. I thought for sure it had to be my trucks issue bc that would absolutely explain why it-??s running so weird and ragged. The poor thing -?? I-??m very worried about it.
Fuel system - vehicle surged (high RPMS) while gearshift lever was in the Drive position after release of pressure on the accelerator as I was parking the vehicle surged and smashed into a cement post, the vehicle traveled approximately 10 to 15 feet. The vehicle is currently at the dealership where an independent contractor, who is contracted by Toyota, will be doing a visual and diagnostic analysis. I expect the vehicle to be returned to me on 1/19/2023. The vehicle and components have not been inspected by any other individual at this time. There were no warning lights on prior to the surge. Unknown if any warning light came during the incident which I believe was two (2) seconds until impact with the post.
Fuel pump failure at 63k miles. Check Engine light came on. P0171 code thrown. Truck began hard starting, and rough idling. Stalled on freeway, stuck at 4k RPM and would not drop. Had to pull off and restart. Checked entire system with certified independent service/AAA mechanic and fuel pump was diagnosed. Fuel pump whines in tank, and fuel trim levels are way off... maxing out in output (39), and falling into the negatives in short term trim levels. All other components testing ok/within ranges. Massive recall on fuel pump for my exact same year/make/model/engine, but my VIN does not show as affected... clearly it has the same issue. I need this pump fixed ASAP, as does everyone else affected that did not get to be apart of the recall.

Full tank of fuel and dashboard is showing 30 miles until empty warning. I have received the engine warning -??? sign on my dashboard as well when this happens. This issue also affects me on the road when I am pressing the accelerator and the engine will not respond, this gas been an issue since they did the fuel pup recall. With a delay in acceleration comes a delay on the brake system as well, two intenses that I've had to press my foot as hard as possible on the brake to avoid a collusion with another vehicle. The last time this happened was on 4/17/2022
To whom it may concern, I was issued a recall on this vehicle for a defective fuel pump. I have been attempting to rectify the situation through City World Toyota located at 3333 Boston Road, Bronx, NY 10469. On 7/1/2021 I spoke with Jorcelyn and was told the part needed to replace the defective component was not in stock and it would be ordered and available within a 4 weeks. I was told I would receive a call back and never did. On 8/9/2021, over a month later, I got in touch with Wasile and was again told the part was not in stock. I was told they would check and then call back the following day. Again, I never received a call back. On 8/12/2021 I called again and was told they do not have the part in stock and would call back with an ETA. It was been months since this recall was issued and City World Toyota has not rectified the issue. This vehicle has been unsafe to drive since the recall has been issued and I have been pleading with them to resolve it. The customer service standards as well as the regard for safety from City World Toyota has been abysmal. There is no doubt this establishment is blatantly ignoring these safety recalls for not only myself but many others as well.
In October of 2020 they replaced the fuel pump then noticed a hose was bad it would take 2 months to get that hose.. Upon driving my vehicle I noticed an 4mpg lost. was getting 22 mpg prior to the change. I have been in contact w/toyota in Texas and they send a 'factory rep' to look at my truck. here is the problem he snapped a picture stating my truck got 28.6 mpg, upon getting into my truck it read 20.6 mpg. they refuse to replace the fuel pump and hose at another dealership. The secretary at toyota said if they would change and it didn't make a difference they would be wasteful. I said replace it and we will see however you say you not going with the customer the paid good hard earns money for this vehicle we will never know. all I want: is the have a new fuel pump and hose put into my Tacoma, it may not or it will prove there was a problem. I am see I am no alone with this reduction of mpg's with high gas prices.....
Received notice of a recall on the low pressure fuel pump in November 2020; still have not been notified to bring my truck in for repairs. I don't feel safe driving more than 20 or 30 miles from home as I don't want to be stranded if the fuel pump fails.
Noticeable vibration when slowing down. It happens between 40mph to 0 mph. Slight vibration while accelerating from a stop to around 45mph. Engine also surges, and has trouble finding the correct gear while accelerating or decelerating. When put in neutral while slowing down, the vibration is not felt at all. Took the truck to the dealership, explained the issues. Was told nothing was mechanically wrong. They rotated my tires and did a front end alignment. The truck has just over 12K on it ! this is a disaster in the making.
NHTSA recall id: 20V682 - safety recall 20ta02 (interim notice 20tb02), multiple model and model years, vehicle may stall during driving at higher speed. Toyota slow on remedy and not taking issue urgent and no solution. Danger to drive.
Unprompted acceleration - while driving at about 15 mph in moderate traffic, I accelerated briefly and then let off the gas pedal. After releasing the gas pedal, the truck continued to accelerate and even downshifted, causing the truck to lurch forward. Conditions - I was in light to moderate traffic on my commute to work. The traffic was stop-and-go. The cars ahead of me accelerated, so I did as well. The cars ahead of me quickly decelerated, so I let off the gas but did not need to brake as I was a safe distance. The truck continued to accelerate well after I let off the gas and it lurched forward and downshifted in the process. The engine RPM went to about 3,500. I was able to apply the brake, and the acceleration stopped and the engine went back to idle. I have experienced deceleration lag in many vehicles, but in this case, it was a surge, not a lag. It was long enough for me to think of shifting to neutral and applying the emergency brake.
My vehicle (VIN# [xxx]) has not had safety recall addressed by my local dealership. The recall was initiated on 28 October 2020. The local dealership has had more than a month to make a plan to fix the problem and has responded to my request by stating that parts are not yet available and feel I should continue to operate my vehicle in its current state. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Toyota sold this vehicle knowing of defective fuel pump - had issues day one with long crank cycles to start. Loud knocking of high pressure fuel pump reported also-probably related to low pressure fuel pump malfunction and cavitation at high pressure pump. I have also experienced rough idle and jerking. I contacted selling dealer in Jan 2020 after recall with no remedy issued and they stated that there was only like 1 vehicle affected - outright lie. There is class action suit for this defect in progress and over 2000 pumps had failed and Toyota knew about it. Other problems with vehicle including faulty differential and it took 4 visits and failed ncds claim for Toyota to admit it was defective and replace only after 12,000 lemon law limit in Kentucky. Toyota and its' dealers are cover up artists. Sitting here still with vehicle unsafe to drive with no fuel pump even after 10 months - final remedy came in on Toyota owners website and called selling dealer and they said I had to go on waiting list for 2-3 weeks to even get the part - Toyota should buy back this vehicle.
