after shortly pumping gas, I received a alert on my car that I needed to check my fuel cap, after checking fuel cap I proceeded to drive on the highway during this time a multitude of sensors started to go off on my car, and it started to drive weird there were light such as my interlock, being deactivated, parking, brake, deactivated, malfunction of VSC, collision deactivated. Then suddenly while driving at an accelerated speed, and trying to slow down, my engine turned itself off, and I was not able to re-crank my car. There is an active recall with Toyota for the fuel pump, which I was told by Toyota was the issue, but due to my VIN not being associated they would not repair as a recall

The vehicle stalled after the car had been turned on for 2 minutes; I do not believe there were any warning signals beforehand. I had been stopped at a light, and then almost immediately when I was able to proceed, it stalled while I was turning right. I WAS able to start it immediately, after turning it off completely. This is the second time this vehicle stalled, the first being in August 2020 after only 600 miles (it was new when purchased in March 2020), and at somewhat faster speed (10 mph). Both times, it spent several days at the Toyota dealer where it was purchased--this last time, eight days--and the mechanics were never able to duplicate the problem. I had hoped that they would inspect the fuel pump, knowing that millions of Corollas from 2019 and 2020 had been recalled for this issue, but I was told that it would be a very lengthy job and that there were no signs to indicate fuel-pump problems. In other words, Toyota was not authorizing that inspection. Thus, I am having to take back the vehicle with the mystery unsolved, and with the risk of another stall happening again in future. I am feeling lucky that I was not rear-ended, since the traffic was pretty heavy this last time.

Starting monday afternoon (01/18/2021) my car has begun to stall everyday. It continues to stall now. Thursday (01/21/2021) I almost had a accident because my car would not go no matter how hard I pressed the gas. I took my car to the dealership were I am leasing it (01/21/2021) and they could not find the problem. I saw on the toyota website that my car was apart of the fuel pump recall even though when I enter my VIN nothing popped up. May you please assist me? I have to work and I need my vehicle in order to do that.

With only about 630 miles on my new 2020 toyota corolla, the vehicle stalled shortly after I had just made a turn in city traffic; I believe I was stopped at a light, and it wouldn't start up again when I put my foot on the gas. I had to have the car towed to the dealership where I'd bought it five months earlier; they gave it a thorough inspection, acknowledged the fact of the stall, but never found the cause of it (couldn't "duplicate the problem"). They had no problem starting the car once it was at their service. This was a one-time incident and I have had no problems since; I am now at over 1,400 miles. But it makes me uneasy that the source of the issue was never uncovered--especially now that I know there is a recall on 2020 corollas for faulty fuel pumps. (the fuel pump was the one thing that was never investigated at the time of the stall; the service person didn't think it was necessary.)
