I have been having a dangerous fuel pump issue for some time. I believe this to be the same issue that they have a fuel pump issue for 2018 & 2019 toyotas! I believe toyota has known about this for some time. My 2010 toyota corolla has been backfiring, stalling out, & shutting off when I get into heavy or standstill traffic, which is very dangerous. It stalled out & shut off in the middle of robbins street (3 lane 1 way street) near the tacony palmyra bridge due to a bridge opening that backed up traffic for over 45 minutes 1 day on my way home from work. When the bridge finally opened, I was almost hit several times. Luckily a mechanic came by & he was able to get it started again. I did take it to aaa service center in mt laurel nj & they did diagnosed that it is a fuel pump issue that will cost $2,273.40. Again I believe toyota has known about this for some time similar to the brake recall that they had some time ago. This is a very dangerous issue. This issue still continues...

Im car sometimes try's to stall out while im driving or sitting at a stop light. It sounds like it is being choked out or isn't getting enough fuel. This has been happening on and off for a number of year's and the dealer does not know why.

My 2010 toyota kept stalling out, mostly when it was in idle mode. If I was driving a slower speed, it would sometimes lose power and when I pushed on the gas pedal, there was nothing there...like air. It would stall out if I was sitting in traffic over minutes. I had to put it in neutral and keep my foot on the gas pedal to keep it idled up. Initially I was told it was the ignition coils, which I had replaced. Then the spark plugs were replaced. Then the air mass sensor. And my battery. Also the repair shop did some adjustment to the throttle. None off that repaired the vehicle; it was still stalling out just out of the blue. The last repair shop said they only saw one code in the computer and it was giving them a reading where the fuel pump had something like a "vapor lock" and was not sending out fuel like it was supposed to. This car has been stalling out on us since april 2019 and has had replacement parts that did not fix the problem. My fuel pump was finally replaced on february 21,2020 and so far it has not stalled out at all, even when it's in idle mode. Cost to repair it was $901.67.

Car would start then driving at 10mph the car stalls and the dash lights illuminate the dashboard. Put the car in park and restart with no problem but if somebody was behind me it would've caused an accident. Last week car did the same thing except I the car was in motion towards an intersection from idle and had to quickly put it in park and restart it and move it before I would've been involved in a deadly accident.

I have a toyota corolla 2010,I had it since june 2010, . I went through a major car accident on hw 1 ca @ 8:45 am on tuesday which was a sunny, clear , not foggy nor rainy day (weather condition was perfect),I was driving on 63 MPH (normal speed is 65) on the fast left lane and suddenly I felt that the left front tire is veering the car into a different direction acting as if it below up (but it didn't) and my car is veering to the left , my steering wheel is locked and is not responding at all when trying to change the car directionto the right. There was no way to drive the car in a straight line. The steering wheel failed completely to respond to any attempt to turn it to the right in an attempt to gain control over the car and attempting to drive it in straight line. Brakes as well were not responding. All attempts to stop the car or turn it to the right to avoid bumping the rails and keep it straight in the lane failed. I completely lost control over the car & it started fishtailing in the front. The car didn't stop until it bumped into the guarding rail, at this moment the car just stopped and it took the car more than 20 feed to automatically stop by it self. I failed to stop it.at this moment the car corrected its direction &went in straight line direction scrubbing against the rail completely damaging the entire left side of the car before it stall. Then all the dash board lights and car sounds went on and the car stalled. The car was not in a drivable condition so I had to tow it away. I have a witness who described my accident saying that my car kept swerving to the left & was ambiguously uncontrolled, he was the one that took care of me after the car bumped the rail. This accident is a life threatening accident not only for me but also for others on the hw. I was lucky it happened on my way home after I dropped off my son to school ,the two car seats I had in the car were damaged, the car damage was estimated by $10,000. I suffer from a severe pain.

Bought new dec 18, 2009. Toyota corolla le 14 miles. When you go to stop at a red light or stop sign. The engine some times acts like it is going to stall. You touch the brakes just as you come to a dead stop. The engine rpms will drop to about 300 rpms the engine will shutter all most die and then go back to normal rpms about 500 to 600 hundred. This is an intermittent problem. You can not make the car do this. You may drive it 5 times and it will not do anything like that. You drive it the next time and it will do it three times in a roll when you stop. It has done this from the time it was new.
