2013 Scion FR-S Fuel System Problems

The fuel pump stopped working. I was driving to work on a busy highway and without any warning my car started slowing down. There were no warning lights or any indication of a problem. I pressed the gas pedal and no response from the motor. I pushed in the clutch and put my 4 ways on and luckily coasted to a spot I could pull off the road at. Once safe and stopped I tried to start the car again and it sputtered and shut off. The car has been running funny on n off for a little bit I didn't think it could be the fuel pump but It seems it was the problem. The pump wasn't inspected by anyone but after replacing it the car was back to normal.

GASOLINE OVERFLOWS WHEN FUELING

MULTIPLE REPORTS OF FUELING ISSUES AMONG FRS AND SUBARU BRZ OWNERS . FILLING STATION PUMP HAULTS WHEN FUELING DUE TO FILLER HOSE CRIMP; PRESENTS INCREASED PROBABILITY OF HAZARDOUS CONDITION DUE TO REQUIREMENT OF MANUAL PUMP OVERRIDE. VEHICLE IS OVERFILLED, AND GASOLINE MAY SPRAY ON TO OPERATOR. SUCH HAS OCCURRED IN MY INSTANCE

HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP STARTED MAKING SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF NOISE, WAS DEEMED DEFECTIVE BY TOYOTA AND REPLACED. 3000 MILES LATER, THE SAME NOISE IS BACK, AND NOW TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO REPAIR / REPLACE THE PART, EVEN THOUGH CAR HAS LESS THAN 12000 MILES ON IT, EVEN NOW. THIS HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP IS OF CONCERN BECAUSE IT'S THE SYSTEM THAT COMPRESSES THE FUEL TO OVER 3000 PSI. THIS SYSTEM NEVER DEPRESSURIZES, EVEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF. A DEFECTIVE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP, ONE THAT MAKES SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF NOISE, HAVE THE POSSIBILITY FOR FAILURE, AND COULD CAUSE EITHER HESITATION WHILE DRIVING, COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WHILE UNDER ACCELERATION, OR POTENTIALLY A FIRE. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, RELEASED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WITH REGARDS TO AN INITIAL FIX, AND THEN COMPLETELY REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE IT AFTER THE FIRST FIX ATTEMPT. *TR

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ON A 2013 FRS THAT WAS BOUGHT IN NOVEMBER OF 2013 WHICH NOW HAS 8500 MILES ON IT NOW. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN THE MORNING WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE UP TO GO TO WORK. I USE MY CHECK ENGINE SCANNER AND IT GAVE ME A P2404 CODE. DROVE IT FOR TWO DAYS TO SEE IF IT WOULD SHUT OFF. NOW FOR SOME REASON MY GAS IS GETTING BURNED UP REALLY FAST. MY GAS METER DROP 1/4 TANK ON A TWO DAY 15 MILE DRIVE. CRUISE CONTROL ALSO STOP WORKING TOO. SO MUCH FOR A NEW CAR. *TR

I AM FILING A COMPLAINT BEFORE PROBLEMS PERSIST AND MAKE THINGS WORSE. MY BRAND NEW SCION FRS, WHAT I WAS REASSURED BY MY DEALER WAS RELIABLE DEPENDABLE MAKE AND MODEL. GIVEN THE TRUST HE HAD GAINED PRIOR TO THE SALE I BELIEVED EVERY WORD HE SAID DOWN TO HIS OVER MARKET ASKING PRICE PITCH. I BOUGHT IT ALL AND THE CAR. A FEW WEEKS LATER I NOTICE A CHIRPPING THAT I THOUGHT TO BE THE BELT. IT HAD BEEN RAINING CONSTANTLY SO I ASSUMED THE BELT WAS MOIST AND AT TIMES WITH CONDENSATION. IN DRY CONDITIONS THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AND I BECAME CONCERNED, SO I TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE CENTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE TECH SAID IT WAS A MISS SIZED FUEL HOSE, CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO CHIRP. BUT WHAT WAS WEIRD AND DREW A RED FLAG WAS ALL THE PARTS THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED: FUEL PUMP, PIPE FUEL DELIVERY NO2, GASKET, GASKET INTAKE MANIFOLD, GASKET THROTTLED. TSED SUSPICION SO I RESEARCHED MY PROBLEM. A LOT OF THE REPORTS FIND THE SAME ISSUSE, ALONG WITH OTHERS THINGS I HAVE NOTICED WITH MY CAR. THE FUEL HAS BEEN REPORTED TO LEAK, CAUSING FIRES OR ENGINGE DAMAGE AND ACCELERATION ISSUES LEADING TO SUCH. I HAVE TO NOTICED THE NEED FOR ACCESSIVE FORCE ON THE PEDAL HAS BEEN MORE AND MORE NECESSARY. ALSO STALLING AND ROUGH IDLING IS A BIG CONCERN. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A MONTH NOW AND I DO NO WISH TO LEAVE ANYTHING TO CHANCE ESPECIALLY IF IT MAY RESULT IN DEATH. I DON'T WANT MY GIRL FRIEND AND HER TWO CHILDREN AND I TO BURN TO DEATH OR STALL OUT AND CRUSHED BY A TRUCK. *TT
