| Description of the problem | We purchased this vehicle new in may, 2019. Within a few weeks, we noticed a problem with it stalling out momentarily when turning at intersections or idling at lights. Within 4-5 seconds, you could feel it finally pick up fuel and go. It gives you a very scary feeling to think you can't keep moving along with the traffic, especially when our grandchildren are in the back seat. We returned the vehicle to the dealer and was told there was a recall for the fuel pump and we would need to leave it there for repair. They put us in a rental dodge durango, which is fine, but that's not the vehicle we wanted when we purchased our highlander. This was over a month ago and when we contact the service department are just told that there is still no fix in sight. We think it's been long enough for something to have been done. Our warranty is expiring while it sets on the dealer's lot in the hot florida sunshine. It was always garaged while in our care. |
