2019 Lexus NX: fuel pump failure

Filed Apr 17, 2026 · Fuel system · NC

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!!

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

According to the federal safety agency online database, my vehicle has been on recall since january 13, 2020. I was not informed of this recall, and only found out when I took my vehicle in for maintenance on november 3, 2020 (almost one year after recall was issued). I was informed of the recall at the lexus dealership on this day, but was informed that there were no parts available to repair the recall. When I asked what the recall was for, I was informed, 'fuel pump.' when I asked further what that does and means with the performance of my car, I was informed, 'if it malfunctions, your call could stall, and could lead to accidents if stalled while driving at a higher speed.' when I asked when the recall repair would be available, all I was told was that it was unknown, and when the parts were available, I would be notified via letter. My car could stall at any point, I was not notified of this danger, and it has been almost a year without any option for repairs. At the least, I should be given a rental vehicle until the solution is available, and I should not have to drive in fear that my car could malfunction and stall at any given point.

On six occasions in the last two weeks, when accelerating from a full stop at stop lights on city streets, when I press the gas pedal, the car doesn't accelerate. It rolls very slowly at 3/4 MPH for about 10 seconds. I keep the gas pedal pressed and eventually the car accelerates. This does not happen every time I drive the car and sometimes it happens twice in a row and sometimes it happens once while I am out driving. On may 15, I took it to the lexus dealership where I purchased it and was told they can only fix it if they are able to duplicate it and they where unable to duplicate it.. I was instructed to bring the car back when it happens again. The first time this occurred was in march but I did not write down the day. I thought that it happened because I was not paying attention when the light changed. It also occurred on april 23, may 7 and may 12. I called lexus on may 7 and was told that I am not driving the car enough and that a lot of customers are reporting the same problem because of the nationwide stay at home orders. I was instructed to drive it at least 20 miles a week on the highway and the problem would go away. On may 11, I drove it 60 miles on the highway along with some street driving and it did not happen. On may 12, I drove 60 miles on the highway along with going to the grocery store and it happened twice at two stop lights on the way home from the grocery store. Furthermore, I received a notification that my car was initially part of the toyota/lexus fuel pump recall but subsequently received a letter last week (week of may 11 2020) that after further review, it is no longer part of the recall.
