Toyota Camry fuel pump problems

Filed Nov 1, 2026 · Driver assistance, Fuel system · TX

The car suddenly report Collision and Pre- Collision problems. Suddenly didn’t want to turn on. I start to look around the problem. Probable cause, the fuel pump is death. I learn thet certain Camry’s 2019 where in this list of recalls by this same problem. I never received a message recall from toyota in my address or any report in my version. Want to make sure my problem is related to this recall. Thanks in advance.

This vehicle is experiencing the same problems since 2022 despite multiple attempts to have the vehicle repaired. The fuel pump was part of the recall and it was replaced in 2020. When these problems started in 2022, I was told they need the codes to figure out what’s going on but yet they still couldn’t give me an answer. There was only one code that they addressed which was to replace an engine coil but the car continues breaking down. This most recent time, I fueled the vehicle and it would not start when I was finished. This had happened at least 3 times, all after fueling the vehicle. The car will also shut down while driving, and it is extremely dangerous when power steering fails and there is no acceleration even with the pedal pushed down all the way to the floor in the middle of traffic. I am terrified that I will not only hurt myself but others when this failure causes an accident. One time, the vehicle broke down on a major highway during rush hour, but I was able to get to safety. Other times I had to call a tow because the car was inoperable. The dash lights up with “check engine” and “ics malfunction visit your dealer” each time. I have called corporate and made 15+ trips to get the vehicle diagnosed/fixed but still do not have any answers.

I am filing a formal complaint regarding a severe safety recall compliance violation and predatory conditional repair tactic committed by an authorized Toyota dealership. My vehicle exhibited severe engine sputtering and stalling symptoms. This vehicle had an active, federally mandated safety recall for a defective low-pressure Denso fuel pump known to cause engine stalling. Upon presenting the vehicle for the safety recall, the dealership's service advisor explicitly and verbally stated that they would not touch, service, or perform the open fuel pump safety recall until I first authorized and paid for an out-of-pocket throttle body replacement. The vehicle was throwing diagnostic trouble codes P2117, P2190, and P2197. While P2117 relates to throttle performance, codes P2190 and P2197 indicate severe fuel delivery, fuel starvation, and air-fuel ratio calculation failures. Low fuel pressure from the recalled, defective fuel pump causes the engine to sputter and die, which forces the electronic throttle body to scramble to catch the dropping RPMs—subsequently tripping the secondary P2117 code. The dealership used this secondary symptom code to withhold a federal safety recall and force a highly inflated $1,351.00 customer-pay repair under duress. To get my vehicle repaired and safe for the road, I was forced to pay for the throttle body. Both the $1,351 throttle body repair and the free fuel pump safety recall were completed on the exact same visit on the exact same day, creating an undeniable paper trail of a forced conditional repair. Holding a critical safety recall hostage behind a costly commercial repair violates federal recall regulations under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. I am demanding a full corporate goodwill reimbursement of $1,351.00 from Toyota Motor North America and a formal compliance investigation into this dealership's service department practices.

While fixing another problem, I pulled the codes from the ECM and found several P0087 (low fuel rail pressure). The problem was apparently intermittent and if the engine service light came on, it was transient and the light cleared. So neither my wife or I noticed an engine service light. I did some research and found that Denso found and reported a problem with the in tank fuel pump design to the NTSB in Feb. of 2020. We purchased the Camry in Dec. 2019 which meant we had the defective fuel pump. I ordered a new Denso fuel pump and install it and no new codes have appeared in the ECM log. Apparently Toyota has been slowly adding more years to the recall, but hasn't yet added the 2020 model year. This is a problem since a number of people have reported engine stalls due to the defective fuel pump. We live in the mountains, that might have been very dangerous especially if my wife suddenly lost power brakes and steering on a mountain road. Why hasn't a recall been ordered for this pump on all effected years?

The fuel pump has a malfunction. The car started jerking and started to accelerate by itself when I was driving it. Yes the problem reproduced. The vehicle is currently under inspection by the manufacturer. Yes there were multiple warning lights including the check engine light.

My check engine and ICS sensor lights came on. My diagnostic shows a failing fuel pump exactly as recall 20TA02. My car is not on the recall list but is presenting the same issue. I was driving on the road when this occurred and my car started stalling and jerking on the road. I had to quickly and safely exit the road and go back home.

Owner bought new 2021 Camry XLR 4 cylinder all wheel drive. It currently has 39,000 miles on it. No problems until January 25, 2026. It was 11 degrees below zero, my car had the original battery. Car started without issue, I return to house to "warm it up" prior to driving. Upon my return I had multiple error codes; 1. AWD System Malfunction, 2 WD Engaged (Visit your Dealer), Secondary Collision Brake System Malfunction, Pre-Collision Brake System Malfunction, Parking Brake Malfunction, Check Engine light. I did NOT drive the car that day. Once the weather warmed up in Iowa, the number of codes would change and sometimes absolutely NO codes. Upon extensive internet research, I purchased a new battery (old battery did "test" ok, but no load test was completed). During all of this time, my car has always started well, performed well, etc. HOWEVER, when the "codes" show up, my cruise control also will not work. . . . Original dealership "ran computer codes" (C059746) indicating "calibration memory failure."Quote was given for: Parking rake actuator replacement $1,760. 2nd Toyota dealership opinion: $3,300 for parking brake actuator, low pressure fuel pump replacements. Original dealership adamantly denied the need to fuel pump replacement. Again, my car intermittently may or may NOT show warning codes. . . .Not I dealership has conducted any examination, they simply "run the computer codes" and quote a repair cost. I am concerned about repair scandals, diagnostic incompetence and perhaps the CAUSE of my "error codes" has not even be addressed (computer glitch, faulty sensor, corroded wiring, etc.) I am a 70 yr old female still working and needing transportation. I spent $34,000 on my car expecting safe and reliable transportation. I have NO confidence in the Toyota Repair diagnostics. I also own a 2005 Toyota Camry which was involved in the Toyota acceleration debacle years ago, of which they decline any responsibility. Luckily, no human injuries!!!!!

Toyota has recognized a problem with the low pressure fuel pump on some 2018 Camry cars which causes a hesitation when driving from a stop creating a rear danger of a rear-end collision. It has been happening intermitantly everysince car was new.. Toyota claimed that my vin was not one of the ones recalled even though I experienced the e3xact same problem. There appears to be an additional recall for the same issue in 2025, but here again my camry is not included. I only have 40,000 miles on my camry and I would like to keep it but am worried about the hesitation. The engine actually cuts off very briefly.

Hesitant and sluggish acceleration caused check engine light and activated limp mode. Code P0087 - fuel rail/system pressure too low. My VIN isn’t included on the major fuel pump recall, but I’m experiencing issue and being told it’s going to cost thousands to repair.
