I received a safety recall from lexus sometime last year, although I don't know exactly when. There is no date on any of the information that was sent to me, but I believe it was sometime last summer. Nothing has happened to my car, yet, but I don't believe a "safety" recall notice should take months and months to be fixed. When I got the notice, I called my lexus dealership and asked when I could expect my car to be fixed and they said they did not know when they would get the part and would let me know. I have never heard from them. This recall is for a low pressure fuel pump which could cause the vehicle to stall while driving. To confirm, so far nothing has happened to my car. The federal safety agency no. 20v‑682 I am putting today's date in the area of "when did this happen".

Engine abruptly stops and I have a 3 second stall, then the car resumes normal operation. Could be a real serious accident without warning. This happened in motion on a highway from a stop light or stop sign or pulling out onto traffic.

The vehicle was stalling and sputtering after driving less than 0.1 mile on a city street. After contacting the lexus dealership regarding the issue, we had the vehicle towed into the lexus dealership. After running a diagnostic check, they determined the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle has 51,701 miles on it. The towing charge was $101, and the repairs were $808.96. Approximately a month later, I saw that toyota and lexus were recalling various models and years with a similar issue that we experienced. Although the 2016 rx350 is not currently included, I contacted lexus because the coincidence was too much to ignore. Lexus advised that our vehicle is not currently included in recall the federal safety agency 20v012000.

Vehicle experienced rough transmission mostly between gear number 2 and 3 after take off. Vehicle stalled around RPM 1200 - 1500 during normal drive at highway, then suddenly shifted forward with excessive force. Encountered very dangerous situations on highway on my recent trip. I almost hit the vehicle at the front for a few times due to consistent rough shift pattern. I have taken this vehicle to lexus dealership several times to address issue in the past. Updated ecu software didn't resolve the problem, and always keep coming back. I believe this issue could have been related to recent fuel pump recall, but the recall didn't include the 2017 rx 350 models. Please investigate for safety issue. Thank you.

Car was pdi and delivered on 06/14/20 with an open recall 20la01 that was likely to be a life-threatening issue. Even after pdi was performed, the breaks were disfunctional, so had to take the vehicle for service on 06/19/20. Lexus found that rotors required resurfacing to fix the breaks and at the same time completed the open recall 20la01. However on 07/03/20, the car stalled in the middle of a highway traffic putting the pax thru a life-threatening situation. Car has been finally towed to the service and I am verbally promised that the car has been fixed to not present any life threatening issues. Since it is just 15 days of purchase and vehicle been into the service review for 3 times with some life-threatening open issues, I am requesting lexus to either refund or provide me a replacement.

My car stalls on acceleration. No check engine light comes on. I have researched the internet and discovered that there are recalls for fuel pump failures on some toyotas I have checked with the dealer and the recall site using the VIN. Nothing I believe I have a defective fuel pump that was installed on my vehicle. I would appreciate toyota repair it. .
