Fuel system reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

We had just exited the interstate when my Toyota Tundra stopped. We had it towed to the closest Toyota dealer. We had to have fuel pump replaced. They said the previous year Tundra was recalled for this issue, but ours was not. I just found out that some of the 2019 models had been recalled for this issue. They said my VIN was not recalled. That does not make sense. It was the same problem, same year, just at a different plant. Now we are having other fuel issues and the dealer says it all stems from the replacement of the pump, which we had to pay out of pocket. If we had not just exited the interstate it could have caused a major accident.

When refueling this vehicle, gasoline will flow out of the filler tank onto the ground and will shoot out onto the person filling the truck up. Have had the charcoal canister replaced twice and this has not fixed the problem for any length of time. Dealer claims that vent tubes are getting clogged up but cannot explain how or why they are plugged up. Last repair lasted one week before fueling issues showed up again. The gas shooting out of the filler hose onto people standing nearby and onto the ground is an extreme fire and explosion issue and is an environmental issue. This problem seems to be a common issue based on internet search for Toyota Tundra refueling issues. There has been a service bulletin published by Toyota on this issue. I have been having this problem for over 2 years.

Fuel pump is losing prime and difficult to start when cold. Various websites indicate Toyota issued a recall for 2018 and 2019 Tundra fuel pumps in 2020, but no recall appeared on our recent search when we began having issues. Did Toyota end the recall?

One morning, I tried to start my truck, and it would not start. After taking it to Lipton Toyota in Fort Lauderdale, they determined the fuel pump was faulty. Unfortunately, they’ve had my truck for over two weeks and have informed me of a national shortage for Toyota fuel pumps. I have spoken to other dealerships in the area, including those in Kentucky, they are also on back order for these fuel pumps.

The vehicle is vibrating while accelerating and bogging down when the accelerator is depress, causing the car to slow down drastically. Doing research it similar to the issues that the fuel pump were having in the 2019 Toyota tundra recalls. Also at the start of the engine it seems that is bogging and causing the rpm to fluctuate, in some cases car will crank and will not start. I have vídeo prove of this issue and audio when the car is starting

3 times in the last few mos the BRAKE! warning came on. Nothing was causing this warning to engage. This happened again today. Another issue is when the Valdosta Toyota (GA) dealer attempted to fix the fuel pump recall on 22 JUL 2020 it was assembled incorrectly. I called the dealership and told them to come and get my Tundra because gas was dripping onto my driveway. They sent a tow truck and it was supposedly fixed and they brought it back to me in about 2 hrs. It really does run the way it did before they “re-fixed” it. Very often now when it is driving I feel something like a failing fuel pump. It fades away but it is not comfortable taking it long distances. It feels like there is a clog in the fuel system or something, although there is not. I have 33,400 miles on it today and I can’t help but wonder if Valdosta Toyota didn’t just exchange the original fuel pump with a different used one?
