I RECEIVED A RECALL ALERT EARLY IN THE YEAR. THERE IS NOT YET A FIX FOR THE LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR ONLY A FEW MILES SINCE THE NOTICE AND THE DESCRIPTION OF THE POSSIBLE FAILURE. I DRIVE I-68 IN MARYLAND, MUCH OF IT WITH 3 LANES AND ALL UP AND DOWN MOUNTAINS. A FAILURE ON THIS HIGHWAY WOULD BE VERY SERIOUS, QUITE LIKELY FATAL. A FAILURE WOULD MEAN THAT THE CAR WOULD STALL AND NOT RESTART. SPEED LIMIT IS 70MPH--LIFE-THREATENING IF THE CAR WERE TO BE IN THE CENTER LANE GOING UPHILL. THE CAR WOULD HAVE TO BE DRIFTED BACKWARD DOWNHILL TO REMOVE IT FROM THE ROADWAY. THIS IS THE END OF APRIL. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLY LONG TIME TO BE WITHOUT SAFE USE OF THE CAR. I EXPECT MONETARY COMPENSATION AS WELL AS EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR LOST MONTHS OF INCONVENIENCE, FEAR AND LOST USAGE OF THE VEHICLE. WE WERE OFFERED AN ALTERNATE SMALLER CAR WHICH WOULD BE INADEQUATE FOR OUR NEEDS. ACCEPTING THE SUBSTITUTE WOULD REQUIRE THAT WE TURN OUR CAR OVER TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WOULD SIT ON A LOT EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. IF THE DEALER WOULD PROVIDE A SATISFACTORY SUBSTITUTE, OUR STIPULATION WOULD BE THAT THE TOYOTA HIGHLANDER REMAIN AT OUR HOME WHERE IT IS GARAGED.

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN MAY, 2019. WITHIN A FEW WEEKS, WE NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH IT STALLING OUT MOMENTARILY WHEN TURNING AT INTERSECTIONS OR IDLING AT LIGHTS. WITHIN 4-5 SECONDS, YOU COULD FEEL IT FINALLY PICK UP FUEL AND GO. IT GIVES YOU A VERY SCARY FEELING TO THINK YOU CAN'T KEEP MOVING ALONG WITH THE TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY WHEN OUR GRANDCHILDREN ARE IN THE BACK SEAT. WE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP AND WE WOULD NEED TO LEAVE IT THERE FOR REPAIR. THEY PUT US IN A RENTAL DODGE DURANGO, WHICH IS FINE, BUT THAT'S NOT THE VEHICLE WE WANTED WHEN WE PURCHASED OUR HIGHLANDER. THIS WAS OVER A MONTH AGO AND WHEN WE CONTACT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ARE JUST TOLD THAT THERE IS STILL NO FIX IN SIGHT. WE THINK IT'S BEEN LONG ENOUGH FOR SOMETHING TO HAVE BEEN DONE. OUR WARRANTY IS EXPIRING WHILE IT SETS ON THE DEALER'S LOT IN THE HOT FLORIDA SUNSHINE. IT WAS ALWAYS GARAGED WHILE IN OUR CARE.

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE ON JANUARY 13, 2020. IT IS NOW APRIL 26,2020 AND THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR THE ISSUES WHICH CAN RESULT IN A DEADLY CRASH. THE VEHICLE MAY STALL WHILE DRIVING AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY STOP OPERATING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL AND BE UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. IT IS RIDICULOUS AND UNACCEPTABLE THAT WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW, SUPPOSEDLY SAFE CAR, THAT NOW IS A DEATH TRAP. TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE A REMEDY FOR THE DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME.

I OWN A 2019 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER, IT HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES DURING BUSY COMMUTE TO OR FROM WORK. I AM SO SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, THAT I REFUSE TO DRIVE IT TO ANY DESTINATION LONGER THAN 50 MILES. I NEED THIS CAR REPLACED, I HAVE THREE YOUNG CHILDREN, AND I PAYING FOR AN UNSAFE, UNRELIABLE CAR. I WOULD LIKE FOR TOYOTA TO REPLACE THIS VEHICLE.

2019 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER XLE. AT 1230 MILES EPS FAILURE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT TURN. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA UNIVERSE IN NEW JERSEY. RECALIBRATED THE COMPUTER. THE NEXT DAY THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY GARAGE. WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE THE WARNING DISPLAYED AND STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. *TR

THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT HOWEVER I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE RECALL TO BE REMEDIED IN A TIMELY MANNER RECALL WAS APPARENT JAN 13,2020 THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF LIFE IF MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE OPERATING AT A HIGH LEGAL SPEED LIMIT AND SUDDENLY STOP BECAUSE OF AN INADEQUATE FUEL PUMP. THIS DELAY IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW AUTO AND IT SHOULD BE FULLY OPERATIONAL AS I RELY ON IT TO GET ME TO AND FROM WORK AND DAILY LIFE ACTIVITIES.

I BOUGHT THIS TOYOTA HIGHLANDER XLE AWD A MONTH AGO AND WAS NEVER TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL OUTSTANDING. I AM TOLD THERE IS NO FIX AFTER 4 MONTHS AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THERE WILL BE ONE. THIS CAR CAN STOP SUDDENLY AT HIGH SPEED AND IS NOW A DEATH TRAP FOR ME. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND VERY DANGEROUS. WHAT IS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS???? *TR

THGE RECALL DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. IT IS DANGEROUS AND DRIVING THIS VEHICLE GREATLY INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH.IT HAS BEEN IN THIS CONDITION FOR QUITE SOME TIME, I AM AFRAID TO USE MY 2019 TOYOTA HIGHLANDE. TOYOTA CANNOT PROVIDE A DATE FOR A "FIX" THEY NEED TO BUY MY CAR BACK. APPRENTLY THIS CONDITION WAS ON GOING SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE.HOWEVER,WAS NOT DISCOVERED UNTIL SEVERAL MONTHS AGO.
