While the car was idled at a stop light, the warning "reduce engine powere appeared". I took the car to the vehicle and learned this was linked to code P125d71 for fuel pump valve control- a known recall

Car was running normally and going at 50mph then all of a sudden car abruptly lost power and went to 10mph and dashboard lit up. Very scary as we also had our kids in the car--I can only imagine how dangerous this would have been if we had been on the highway going 70mph. Dealer diagnosed with low pressure fuel pump being bad. Lexus paid for the repair due to some lawsuit settlement but these cars should be recalled due to sudden loss in power!!

My vehicle has safety recalls since last year and I would like to fix them for my kids and mine safety

Filed Jul 13, 2021 · Fuel system · FL

I was informed in January of 2020 of a safety recall pertaining to the low pressure fuel pump in my Lexus NX300. I learned of the recall via CarFax rather than through Lexus. As I continued to drive and service the Lexus NX300, I received conflicting information from Lexus about whether or not my vehicle was impacted by the recall. Regardless, Lexus informed me that there was no remedy for the defect. In July of 2021 (at least 18 months after the defect was identified) I finally received notice from Lexus that a remedy is available. Lexus clearly knew of the defect prior to issuing the recall, but waited several months before even directly notifying me of the recall, allowing me to drive a vehicle they had already deemed unsafe for months. It is absurd that a manufacturer would allow unsafe vehicles on the road, jeopardizing human lives, while the manufacturer took their time to find a solution. In the meantime, they released new/refreshed vehicle models. This is a clear example of a car manufacturer placing profits over safety and should be addressed. For the record, I no longer own the vehicle. I decided to get rid of it when I lost faith that Lexus would ever resolve the issue.

This vehicle had a recall date of 01/13/2020. Every time I call lexus dealership regarding the recall, I am told that they do not yet have a remedy. When will they have a remedy? Rather scary driving highway at 65 MPH. And thinking that the fuel pump may fail. Shouldn't the federal safety agency look into why this is taking so long for the manufacturer to find a remedy? It is now 14 months since the recall was issued. Dealer referencid:20lb01 01/13/2020 the federal safety agency reference id: 20v012
