Recall for dangerous issue (risk of crash due to faulty fuel pump) has been unresolved since mid 2021. Have contacted several Toyota dealerships who have said they aren’t able to repair fuel pump since a solution for recall hasn’t been issued yet. Contacted Toyota corporate to ask for rental car until a repair is confirmed and they stated they cannot guarantee a rental will be reimbursed and have no timeline for fuel pump solution. Have been unable to drive my car on highway for six months as it feels unsafe.

After shopping I tried to start my car. It did a lot of shuttering and the check engine and battery lights came on. It would not run. I called AAA and they said the battery was fully charged. When the AAA tow service came the car started and ran fine. When I got home I checked with my OBD II tool. The code was P0087 Fuel Rail/System Pressure - Too Low.

It was about 90+ degrees Fahrenheit on a Friday afternoon..(prior to this date my wife expressed concern that the car did not accelerate as quickly as she thought it should) we drove in to the parking area of the Mall...we were undecided where to park and stopped the car. We tried to restart the car but it would not start. It would try to crank but that was all. Since it was so hot we thought that the air conditioner might have drained the battery. We called the AAA and found that it was not the battery. He suggested that the TOYOTA DEALERSHIP was a few b locks away that we should have them do further testing....we wanted to at first go home but instead went to the dealership--the car failed to start at all in the doorway of the Service entrance..it would try to crank but that was all just a grinding sort of noise.......(We thought that TOYOTA would pay for our incidental expenses since the car was under warranty...so far we have received nothing but TOYOTA did pay for a car rental on the following Monday.....) The problem was a failed Fuel Pump as the service man pointed out the error message was for low pressure on fuel pump. This was serious if we were on the freeway or traveling home for some distance in remote areas..they obviously could be a collision or we would be stranded without any form of help..... The dealer explained the the fuel pump was replaced by an updated or modified model not the same one in the car...They kept the original pump.....

FROM JULY 2020 - JAN 2021, I EXPERIENCED MY VEHICLE CRANKING BUT NOT STARTING ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I TOOK IT IN SEVERAL TIMES TO BE FIXED, BUT THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT AND COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. HOWEVER, THE LAST TIME I PICKED IT UP FROM TOYOTA (PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED), IT HAPPENED AND I CALLED THE SERVICE ADVISOR OVER, AND HE EVEN TRIED TURNING IT, BUT IT WOULDN'T START. THE SOLUTION WAS THE KEY FOB. I INQUIRED HOW THEY KNEW IT WAS THE KEY FOB, BUT THEY DID NOT GIVE ME AN ANSWER. FEBRUARY 2021 IT STARTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN..BUT HAS NOT OCCURRED AS OF MARCH 2021. I THINK WHEN IT SHUTS OFF DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THEN MAYBE TOYOTA WOULD INVESTIGATE THIS MORE. THE SECOND PROBLEM THAT HAS HAPPENED INFREQUENTLY IN 2020 WAS MY BACKUP CAMERA BEING BLACKED OUT OR GLITCHY. AS OF FEBRUARY 2021, THIS WOULD OCCUR FREQUENTLY, HOWEVER INTERMITTENT AS WELL. I SHOWED THE SERVICE ADVISOR THE VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIX IT IF THEY CAN'T REPLICATE IT. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AGAIN TO ADDRESS THESE TWO PROBLEMS. I THINK 2019 TOYOTA YARIS IS A LEMON VEHICLE WITH NOT MANY SOLD, THEREFORE UNLIKELY FOR TOYOTA TO TAKE ACTION IF THERE IS NO CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT MANDATING THEM. PERHAPS IT MADE FINANCIAL SENSE SIMILAR TO THE FORD PINTO. I WOULD ADVISE MORE PEOPLE WITH 2019 TOYOTA YARIS TO POST HERE, SO NHTSA COULD INVESTIGATE, CALL TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE SO THEY CAN ACCOUNT FOR THE PROBLEMS, OR REACH OUT TO A LAWYER, BECAUSE YOU SHOULD NOT BE FIXING A NEW CAR TO THIS EXTENT...

THE CAR BROKE DOWN IN THE HEAT. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER VEHICLE STOPPED. THE VEHICLE COOLED OFF AFTER 1 HOUR IT STARTED. WE TOOK TO TOYOTA. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A BATTERY. THEY REPLACED IT. THE BROKE DOWN ON THE SAME ISSUE 1 WEEK LATER. WE TOOK IT AGAIN TO TOYOTA. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. WE TOOK IT HOME. IT BROKE DOWN AGAIN ON THE 09/01/2020. THE CAR HAS BEEN THERE SINCE TH 1ST OF THE MONTH. IT IS FUEL ISSUE PROBLEM AND THERE IS A LOT OF CARS OUT THERE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PARTS ARE ALL ON BACK ORDER NOW. THATS WHY IT IS TAKING SO LONG. THE PARTS ARE BACK ORDER UNTIL THE 24TH OF THE MONTH. WE ARE GOING TO REPORT THIS CAR HAS A LEMON.
