CAR HAD PROBLEMS ACCELERATING TWO TIMES FROM AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. IT WAS ROUGH, DASH LIGHTS FLASHED QUICKLY AND I WAS UNABLE TO SEE WHICH LIGHTS WERE FLASHING. AS I COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AFTER THAT, I WASN'T SURE ABOUT BRINGING IT TO THE DEALER. TWO WEEKS LATER I RECEIVED MY NOTICE ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP BEING RECALLED. NOW THE CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP. I REFUSE TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE CAR. TOYOTA HAS NOT SUPPLIED A TIMELY FIX. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON IT. TOYOTA SHOULD BUY THE CAR BACK. *TR

I OWN A 2018 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER, ME AND MY FAMILY INCLUDING MY 4 YEAR OLD SON WERE TAKING A DRIVE UP TO NEVADA CITY. WE LIVE IN CALIFORNIA AND WHEN WE GOT ON THE ROAD AND TRIED TO COME TO A STOP ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKES STARTED TO SHAKE. WE DECIDED TO PULL OVER AND AS WE PULLED OVER THE CAR STALLED, WE PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRIED TO TURN IT ON WITH NO LUCK LEFT IT OFF FOR A COUPLE MINUTES AND STILL NO LUCK AN ERROR CAME ON THAT SAID LOW BREAKING POWER. WE HAD RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE SO WE CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY STATED THEY WOULD NEED TO CHARGE US ABOUT 200 DOLLARS TO CHECK THE CAR. TOOK THE CAR IN AND THEY DECIDED TO KEEP OUT CAR UNTIL THERE IS A RESOLUTION FOR THE RECALL WHICH THEY SAID COULD TAKE 3 TO 4 MONTHS. JUST UNETHICAL FOR TOYOTA TO CHARGE US FOR A PROBLEM THAT IS COMPLETELY OUT OF OUR CONTROL NOT ONLY THAT BUT 4 MONTHS TO FIX A RECALL ERROR IS JUST RIDICULOUS. NOW WE'RE TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR ESPECIALLY WHEN OUR 4 YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAR. CONTACTED TOYOTA MANUFACTURER AND THEY WERE REALLY UNWILLING TO HELP GAVE US A RUN AROUND AND WE DIDN'T COME TO A RESOLUTION ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY DIDN'T OWN UP TO THE PROBLEM AND WE WERE LEFT WITH MORE UNANSWERED QUESTIONS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING ISSUES BRAKING AS IT WOULD NOT WANT TO COME TO A STOP. THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD TURN ON INDICATING ISSUE BUT WOULD DISAPPEAR FROM DASHBOARD. THERE WAS AT TIMES THAT ACCIDENT WOULD ALMOST OCCUR DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO PROPERLY STOP. DURING THE TIME OF DRIVING THIS OCCURRED ON A HIGHWAY WHILE IN MOTION. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND COMPUTER WOULD NOT REGISTER THE ISSUE AS THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ACTIVATING. EMPLOYEES TOOK VEHICLE FOR TEST DRIVER AND DETERMINED SOMETHING WAS WRONG AS HE COULD ALSO SENSE AN ISSUE WITH BRAKING. VEHICLE WAS LEFT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. *TR
