Fought with the dealership to keep my car in my garage instead of on their unsecured lot. As of today, 6/21, I've been driving a 2019/20 UX hybrid (yuck) and have put almost 1k miles on it. The dealership has not received any parts yet and I am hoping it's repaired in the next week or so. Part of me regrets buying the car, but it's everything I wanted and there's no others on the market that are used and fully loaded like mine.

Has anyone else heard any new updates from their dealers?

I got my GX fixed, as part became available and was delivered to a dealer. Waited about a month, and in a meanwhile was renting a car through enterprise.

Just got the call from dealer the parts for my GX recall has arrived. Scheduled for later next week for the fuel pump replacement. It has been nearly three months in the enterprise rental arranged by dealer.

I bet they are prioritizing those with rentals. Personally, I have no desire to be in a rental. I want to enjoy the truck and the Falken ATV tires I put on it. Funny, not a single failure...

I’ve actually enjoyed the rental, as you could go and change it to something else and don’t really care about the mileage that you rack up on it

I had turned my rental back in after almost 2 months with it as I just wasn't driving it that much and the Tahoe was just taking up so much room in the driveway. Been driving the GX every few days around town as needed.

Ugh, my dealership sometimes are not the sharpest tools in the shed. Called this morning and they had never even ordered the part. They are ordering today. Another week of waiting. Oh well.

What are the symptoms of a failed fuel pump? Difficult to start? Fail to start? Rough running?

Yesterday it took me 3 tries to start after parked for a week. It started fine after that. My parts are on order as of now.

From what I have heard, engine cut off at speed is the main concern. Probably rough running as well. Have not heard of difficulty starting. Pick yourself up a bottle of MMO and use it help clean up your fuel system. Only need to use about 1/3 a bottle per tank.

Maybe your battery just got on a low side? Did you have same problem again after driving it?

Got my fuel pump fixed today. The dealer delivered the GX to my house afterwards so I haven't driven it yet. Hope everything is good

the car starts fine since my last 3-tries start incident. Runs just fine. New battery since February .

Just dropped mine off for the recall. Gave me a 19 RX. It's a pretty peppy and smooth driving SUV. I can understand the appeal.

It's a good idea to run a fuel system cleaner every 3k or so in general. MMO is my favorite.

Edit - that was quick. Took them 2 hours and 3/4 a tank of gas. I wonder if they our 87 in... 🤔

Just dropped my 2015 off yesterday for the recall. Dealership said it would be done by Saturday. In a new RX for now. Nice vehicle.
