Vehicle stalled and lost power at approximately 45 mph. Warning lights activated and "Not ready to drive" message was displayed. Vehicle has had 3 other similar episodes all resulting in the vehicle losing power at high speed. Vehicle was towed to local Toyota service dept. where they said it generated a code for rough idling - low fuel. They did no repairs and offered no explanation. Three miles from the dealership the Tundra died in traffic. The safety of my family was certainly at stake and had my wife been driving the vehicle she likely couldn't have steered the vehicle to safety. These are not low speed failures, but rather high speeds.

I accelerated from a stop making a right turn in a normal manner to keep safely in front of oncoming traffic, I had no power although I kept pushing the accelerator. Multiple lights flashed on the dash. I coasted to the shoulder of the road. After I stopped, all the lights on the dash had gone out but the engine was still running. It responded normally after that. Dealership said a communication code showed but was not related to my issue. I had three other "loss of power incidents" since all at low speed, either starting from a stop or attempting acceleration after a turn. The yellow triangle flashed those times but traffic did not allow me to keep pushing on accelerator. After a short coast power returned. Dealership reported no code. Experience similar to description of behavior of vehicles in Toyota fuel pump recall. I believe it is the fuel pump. Dealership and Toyota customer service tell me I must drive it until it "fails" and shows a code. Safety issue, accident waiting to happen.

Upon filling up with fuel at various fuel stations, when the pump shuts off and is removed from the filler neck, fuel begins to come back out the filler neck and pour out onto the vehicle and ground. Vehicle only has 2000 miles on it and has done this from day one. The spills have ranged from a cup full to half a gallon making a hazardous and potentially deadly situation. Another dealer in nm advised some Toyota vehicles have done this due to a defective overflow valve in the fuel tank. My local dealer has had me return several times even though I have video evidence of the defect. Toyota usa has also not been helpful with trying to fix the problem.

I bought a new 2020 Toyota Tundra 4X4 crewmax and it is not perform to what a V-8 powertrain of 5.7 lt, and 381 horse power should be. The accelerator on this 2020 Tundra is not functioning properly. It will not accelerate when I step on the gas pedal, which almost stall before it moves. In addiction, I owned a 2007 Tundra 4X4 crewmax and there was not a single acceleration problem. The VIN# for my new 2020 Tundra crewmax is: [xxx]. I believe Toyota has installed the accelerator incorrectly or their fuel pump is not working properly on this new 2020 Tundra models.
