FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FROM TOYOTA ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH THE LOW FLOW FUEL PUMP IN FEBRUARY OF 2020 AND THERE STILL ISN'T A REMEDY. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. WHEN IT WAS RECALLED BECAUSE IT HAS A CHANCE TO STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. AND PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF DON'T HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE WHILE TOYOTA TAKES THERE TIME IN DEVELOPING A REMEDY. IT SEEMS LIKE TO ME ITS TAKING TO LONG TO GET THE REMEDY. ITS BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DESIGN DEFECT RESULTING IN INABILITY TO OPEN HOOD. BATTERY FAILED (SUBSEQUENTLY REPLACED BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY) BUT COULD NOT OPEN HOOD TO JUMP START. TOW OPERATOR COULD NOT OPEN HOOD EITHER, SO VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. PER DEALER EMPLOYEE, DESIGN DEFECT RESULTS IN HOOD BUMPERS EASILY GOING OUT OF ADJUSTMENT, PREVENTING ABILITY TO OPEN HOOD. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE IN A VEHICULAR ACCIDENT WHEN FUEL IS OR MAY BE LEAKING, THE BATTERY MUST BE DISCONNECTED TO PREVENT A FIRE, ESPECIALLY WHEN OCCUPANTS ARE STUCK IN WRECKAGE PENDING EMS ARRIVAL. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME, LIKELY SAVING LIVES AND CERTAINLY PREVENTING CATASTROPHIC BURNS. THE BUMPER IS CLEARLY DESIGNED THIS WAY AS A COST-SAVINGS MEASURE, SO THAT THE BUMPER CAN BE USED FOR VARIOUS MODELS AND MAKES. THE BUMPER'S DESIGN HAS ALMOST UNLIMITED ADJUSTMENT, AND EASILY COMES OUT OF ADJUSTMENT. THIS DEFECT CAN BE EASILY CORRECTED BY SECURING THESE BUMPERS WITH AN ADHESIVE OR OTHER MEANS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), WHEELS
RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SUDDENLY LOCKS FOR SEVERAL SECONDS PUTTING A DRAG ON THAT WHEEL, SLOWING THAT WHEEL DOWN. HAPPENS ON SHARP TURNS ONLY SO FAR, MOSTLY GOING DOWN HILL, ALL AT REASONABLE, SAFE SPEEDS FOR THE CURVE. DRIVER IS NOT USING THE BREAKS AT THE TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED, AND RELEASES THE GAS AND HOLDS TIGHT TO THE STEERING WHEEL. NO DASH LIGHTS APPEAR. IT IS INCREASING IN FREQUENCY AND STARTING TO SCARE US ON OUR DEEP CLIFF CURVE ROADS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING JUST ONCE IN AWHILE 5 YEARS, BUT IS NOW HAPPENING 2-5 TIMES EACH TIME WE DRIVE THE 15 MILE RIVER CANYON WITH TIGHT CURVES AND STEEP CLIFFS. WE ONLY KNOW WHEELS ANS BRAKE SYSTEM ARE INVOLVED, AND THE STABILITY OF THE VEHICLE.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FRAME AND IN 2015 MY FATHER-IN-LAW OWNED THE VEHICLE AND HAD IT INSPECTED AND ALL I KNOW IS IT PASSED. HE IS DECEASED NOW AND I OWN THE VEHICLE AND RECURVED NOTIFICATION ABOUT A RECALL ON THE REAR SPRINGS SO MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE FRAME WAS TO RUSTED TO SAFELY TAKE SPRINGS OFF TO REPLACE. THE FRAME RECALL HAS EXPIRED BUT THE SPRING RECALL IS STILL IN EFFECT. SO I FEEL THAT TO FIX THE SAFETY ISSUE THEY SHOULD FIX THE FRAME SO THAT THEY CAN FIX THE SPRINGS TO SOLVE THE SAFETY ISSUE. ANY ADVICE OR HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
