Toyota Sequoia fuel pump problems

Filed Apr 8, 2026 · Fuel system · IL

I own a 2018 Toyota Sequoia experiencing fuel pump failure symptoms including extended crank and loss of power. This issue matches the federal safety agency Recall 20V012000, which affects similar vehicles with the same fuel pump defect. However, my VIN is not included in the recall despite identical symptoms and safety risk. I am requesting investigation into whether additional VINs, including mine, should be included in this recall due to ongoing failures.

The vehicle fuel tank was punctured and then patched with JB Weld Epoxy. This vehicle was sold to me by a private owner that did not disclose this information to me. The safety of my family as well as thousands of others were at risk as the vehicle was parked in several parking garages of large buildings. The fuel tank and fuel pump has been replaced by Lewis Toyota of Topeka, KS. Several occurrences of a strong fuel smell had taken place for the two week time frame from the previous owner selling it to me. A fuel smell was present at inspection before purchase, however the owner stated that he had spilled fuel.

Toyota had a recall on fuel pumps in 2020 mine was not part of the recall even though mine went bad and had to be replaced in February 2020. Now with another fuel pump recall issued in January 2025 I am also told mine is not part if the recall however I am having issues related to the fuel pump once again causing my engine to stall. Can someone please look into this as I feel my car should be part of that recall for another failing fuel pump. I do have receipt of repair in 2020 by First Class HALT I can provide if needed. My engine is stalling, not cycling fuel properly and has left me stranded. Then other times fires up normally.

This communication is in reference to a known fuel pump problem for which we received an interim notice of recall some time prior to 5/7/2020 (exact date unknown due to covid shut down delays). There is still no remedy/replacement part available. Toyota customer service tier 2 support has suggested that I reach out through the federal safety agency for assistance in expediting a solution through toyota management. The reason this is so critical is that this vehicle is part of an emergency services fleet owned by downstream casino resort, an enterprise of the quapaw nation (tribal). It is a specialty vehicle which carries law enforcement personnel and canine officers to and from multiple tribal enterprises and other locations as requested by other law enforcement agencies. Periodically travel occurs at high rates of speed and over long distances, up to 400 miles. Reliability of the vehicle is critical to the lives of those in it, those they serve, as well as those they could potentially be traveling to assist. If this known defective part fails during one of those processes it could be catastrophic. We purchased these vehicles new from a manufacturer we believed could serve the reliability needs of our fleet. While we understand that there are always unknown possibilities, we are disappointed that a remedy is still not available, and we have been unable to obtain a commitment for an expedited remedy to, what for us, is a critical concern. Again, as suggested, by toyota customer support, we are requesting assistance in pushing for an expedited remedy. Thank you, [xxx], risk manager, downstream casino resort - an enterprise of the quapaw nation [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *cc

The car doesn't want to start. All lights are on the dashboard. The car runs terribly and stalls at times. The code states the fuel pump needs to be replaced. Fuel pump has been on backorder for 5 weeks. Over 1300 requests for the part in this area alone. Obviously this is a problem with other sequoias as well.

My 2014 toyota sequoia is stalling at low speeds, I.e. When making u turns or slowing up and pressing the gas, there is a 5-7 second delay in the engine responding, this is causing a safety issue when you need to get out on a busy road and you don't have the power needed. I have spent several hundred dollars at the toyota dealership with still no resolution and recently had the spark plugs replaced. I have read on newer models the fuel pumps have had a recall, but at this time not the 2014. Please note for the question below, when did this happen, its been going on now for over a year.

My car has run well until this past spring. I could drive it with no problems, but then go to get in it and it would not start. I have had the gas tank cleaned, fuel pump replaced, fuel filter replaced, back in a second time and the "fuel line was kinked" from last repair. Happened again and they thought it might be the key reading wrong, used spare key, happened again and started when the tow truck got there. Happened again and I didn't bother calling. Happened again and I am pissed!!! Now being told it is probably the key, but since they cannot recreate the problem and the computer does not show error readings, they are giving up. Ridiculous!! Shopping for a ford.
