On March 26, 2026 my vehicle was towed to dealership and diagnosed with a bad fuel pump. On April 8 it was recalled for this pump. It has been sitting at the dealership since then, almost 4 months, with Lexus claiming they do not know when they can fix it due to the recall. This complaint is because the vehicle is not being repaired in a timely manner and I do not have use or possession of it.
