2019 Toyota RAV4 complaints

ACCIDENTALLY TURNED ON LKA. AT FREEWAY SPEEDS UP TO 70MPH STEERING PULLED TO RIGHT. HAD TO KEEP TENSION ON STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP VEHICLE CENTERED IN LANE. THEN STEERING WOULD QUIT PULLING AND VEHICLE WOULD GO TO LEFT. HAD TO KEEP FIGHTING STEERING TO KEEP VEHICLE CENTERED IN LANE. LKA WARNING KEPT BEEPING. RESEARCHED PROBLEM ON LINE. LOOKED IN OWNERS MANUAL AND MADE SURE LKA WAS TURNED OFF. THIS WAS A BIG ANNOYANCE FOR ME BUT I WAS ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF VEHICLE. THIS COULD BE A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR SOMEONE ELSE, THOUGH.

TOYOTA HAS NOT PROVIDED THE PARTS TO REMEDY A KNOWN RECALL. MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER20TA02 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER20V682 THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY LEASED VEHICLE FOR OVER 5 MONTHS AND HAS YET TO PROVIDE A DATE THAT THEY WILL HAVE IT REPAIRED AND DRIVABLE. WHILE THEY HAVE PROVIDED ME A LOANER FROM A SECOND RATE RENTAL COMPANY, I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED THAT I AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR I AM REQUIRED TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON. DUE TO MY AGE, THE RENTAL COMPANY CHARGES MORE FOR A COMPARABLE VEHICLE, SO I AM FORCED TO DRIVE A GREATLY INFERIOR CAR TO THAT WHICH I AM PAYING FOR. ADDITIONALLY, AT THE END OF MY LEASE, THE VEHICLE WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY FEWER MILES THAT MY LEASE AGREEMENT ALLOWS (SINCE IT HAS BEEN PARKED ON THEIR LOT FOR SO LONG, WHICH WILL SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE FOR THEIR RESALE. I HAVE ASKED THEM TO BUY BACK MY VEHICLE, AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNWILLING TO WORK WITH ME, AS THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO DO PER MY CONTRACT. ULTIMATELY, I AM PAYING FOR SOMETHING THAT I AM NOT RECEIVING AND AM SPENDING EVEN MORE MONEY DUE TO THE FUEL INEFFICIENCY OF THE LOANER. I FEEL LIKE I PAID FOR A STEAK DINNER AND GOT A MCDONALDS HAPPY MEAL WITHOUT THE TOY. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED WITH AT LEAST HALF OF MY MONTHLY PAYMENT FOR THE AMOUNT OF TIME THEY HAVE THE CAR I AM PAYING FOR SITTING ON THEIR LOT BEING UNUSED. THAT WOULD CURRENTLY BE $687.

AFTER RECEIVING THE RAV4HYBRID FUEL TANK FIX FROM TOYOTA IN MARCH OF 2021, MY VEHICLE STILL ONLY HAS A FUEL CAPACITY OF 12.5 GALS. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THIS IS BY DESIGN TO ALLOW ROOM FOR SPLASH BACK. 12.5GALS DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THE TOYOTA ADVERTISED RANGE OF 550MILES PER TANK. I AM GETTING ~470MILES PER TANK, 80 MILES SHORT OF THE TOYOTA ADVERTISED. THE FIX FROM TOYOTA TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AND ASCENDING UNIT HAD NO CHANGE TO MY FUEL GAUGE READING, DISTANCE TO EMPTY OR FUEL FILLING CAPACITY. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK IN AGAIN, THE INFORMED ME I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO PUT MORE THEN 12.5 GALS OF FUEL IN MY VEHICLE AND WILL ONLY GET ~470MILES PER TANK; THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE AN ANSWER TO THE CONTRADICTION OF WHAT THEY WERE ADVERTISING THE RANGE OF MY VEHICLE SHOWN AT 550MILES PER THE TOYOTA DOCUMENTATION. PICTURE SHOW IS AFTER FILLING THE TANK. 466 MILES TILL EMPTY AND AVG OF 38.3 MPG. IF I HAD 12.5 GALS AND AVG OF 38.5 THAT WOULD BE 478.75MILE TILL EMPTY. AT 14.5 GALS, THE TOYOTA ADVERTISED AND 38.5 AVG MPG IT WOULD BE 555.35MILES TILL EMPTY. THE ONLY WAY 12.5 GALS GETS TO THE ADVERTISED RANGE OF 550MILE ON ONE TANK IS IF THE VEHICLE EXCEDED THE TOYOTA ADVERTISE MPG OF 41 CITY / 38 HIGHWAY. IT WOULD REQUIRE AND AVERAGE MPG OF 44MPG

RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF RECALL FROM TOYOTA IN JANUARY OF 2021. NOTICE STATED THAT PART TO REPAIR CONDITION WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN LATE MARCH. LATEST INFORMATION IS THAT PART WILL NOW BE AVAILABLE IN LATE APRIL. DEALERSHIP HAS PROVIDED FREE LOANER VEHICLE, BUT WE WANT OUR RAV4 BACK.

THIS IS ABOUT OUTDOOR THERMOMETERS ON CARS. IF THEY AREN'T ACCURATE, WHAT GOOD ARE THEY. THEY CAUSE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. HERE'S WHY. ON A COLD DAY WITH PRECIPITATION, IF IT ISN'T ACCURATE PEOPLE COULD GET A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY. MINE IN PARTICULAR IS THIS. MINE READS 4 DEGREES TOO WARM. THE PROBLEM. IF IT'S RAINING AND IT READS 34 DEGREES, I'M 2 DEGREES ABOVE FREEZING I THINK, I'M SAFE, NO ICE WHEN IN FACT IT'S 30, 2 DEGREES BELOW FREEZING. DO YOU GET MY POINT. IF A CAR IS WARM, IT'S A WARM DAY, THERE IS AMBIENT HEAT ON THE ROAD. I DON'T EXPECT IT TO READ ACCURATELY. IF IT'S COLD, CLOUDY, RAINING, THERE IS NO AMBIENT HEAT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX THIS AND THEY JUST AREN'T THAT ACCURATE ANYWAY. IF THEY AREN'T ACCURATE, THEY SHOULD NEVER BE ON A CAR IN THE FIRST PLACE. THIS COULD KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE. AUTO MAKERS SHOULD BE HELD TO AN EXACTING STANDARD ON THESE THINGS OR DON'T INSTALL THEM AT ALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

AFTER PERIODS OF RAIN, SNOWMELTING ON THE CAR, OR GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH, WATER ENTERS VIA THE ROOF RACK AREA,POTENTIALLY EXPOSING THE AIRBAGS TO WATER. THE WATER CAUSED STAINING ON THE HEADLINER ALL OVER (A. B, C PILLARS). THE CURTAIN AIRBAGS FOR THE FRONT AND BACK SEAT WERE IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE AREA SATURATED BY WATER. I TOOKTHE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT, AND THEY REPLACED THE HEADLINER AND ROOF RACK HARDWARE AFTER CONFIRMING THERE WAS A LEAK (3/4/21). AFTER THE REPAIR WAS DONE, A FEW WEEKS PASSED WHERE THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO RAIN TO VERIFY THE LEAKWAS ACTUALLY FIXED. YESTERDAY, (3/26/21) IT RAINED. I WENT TO INSPECT THE HEADLINER, AND THE PASSENGER CURTAIN AIRBAG ON THE A PILLARWAS SURROUNDED BY WETNESS. THIS POSES A RISK TO THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIRBAGS. PLEASE NOTE, NO MODIFICATIONS WERE MADE TO THE CAR- THE ROOF RACKS ARE THE OEM TOYOTA LOW PROFILE (FACTORY INSTALLED). THIS OCCURS (FROM WHAT I CAN TELL) WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY. IN THIS CASE, MY DRIVEWAY.

UP TO MARCH 17, 2021 WHEN I WOULD DRIVE BY SIGN WITH A POSTED SPEED LIMIT THE CAR WOULD 'READ' THE SIGN AND DISPLAY THE SPEED ON DASH FOR APPROX. 30 SECONDS THEN THE SPEED LIMIT SIGN WOULD DISAPPEAR. ON MARCH 18, 2021 THINGS CHANGED' 'WHEN I GOT ON INTERSTATE -75 AND PASSED THE SIGN WITH THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT 70MPH THE DIGITAL SIGN ON THE DASHBOARD READ 75 MPH. (PHOTO A) 'A SECOND CHANGE WAS THE DISPLAY DID NOT VANISH AFTER 30 SECONDS BUT REMINED DISPLAYED. 'AS I PASSED SEVERAL OTHER 70MPH SIGNS THE DISPLAY IN THE CAR STILL READ 75MPH. I THEN CANCELLED RADAR TRACKING TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM WOULD GO AWAY AND IT DID NOT (PHOTO B). 'I THOUGHT MAYBE IF I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE 75MPH WOULD DISAPPEAR; IT DID NOT (PHOTO C) 'FINALLY, WHEN I PASSED A POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 45 MPH THE DASHBOARD SPEED LIMIT UPDATED. (PHOTO D). MY GUESS AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON '. ON THE NIGHT OF MARCH 17, 2021 TOYOTA UPDATED THE SOFTWARE TO ALL CARS, SO THE DASHBOARD SPEED LIMIT SIGN WOULD NOT DISAPPEAR. INADVERTENTLY, TOYOTA SOMEHOW MADE A 2ND UNINTENTIONALLY CHANGE SO THE WHEN THE CAR'S COMPUTER SEES A 70MPH SIGN IT READS IT AS 75MPH.

CAR VIBRATE AT CERTAIN SPEED. SUSPECTS FAULTY FRONT LOWER SUSPENSION ARM. VEHICLE SHOW SYMPTOMS AFTER THIRD SERVICE (TOYOTA CARE -15000 MILES)

STILL WAITING FOR TOYOTA TO REMEDY A RECALL ISSUED OCT 28 2020. THEY SAY THERE IS NO FIX YET. THIS HAS BEEN TOO LONG TO DRIVE WITH THE RISK OF MY VEHICLE STALLING AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE MONTHS AGO AND THE RECALL HAS YET TO BE SATISFIED ALL THE WHILE MY TODDLER GRANDCHILD IS IN THIS VEHICLE REGULARLY. MY BIGGEST ISSUE IS THE SAFETY OF A VEHICLE THAT MAY STILL AT HWY SPEEDS AND RESULT IN A CRASH

DRIVING AT INTERSTATE SPEED WHEN SMALL GRAVEL BREAKS A SILVER DOLLAR SIZE STAR SHAPED CRACK IN WINDSHIELD ON PASSENGER SIDE. APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES LATER ANOTHER OBJECT HIT PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD AND CREATED ANOTHER STAR SLAPPED CRACK IN THE GLASS NEAR PASSENGER WIPER ARM. HAD WINDSHIELD REPLACED WITHIN 7 DAYS UPON RETURNING HOME. THE NEW WINDSHIELD WHICH IS A GENUINE TOYOTA WINDSHIELD IS NOW CHIPPED IN SEVERAL PLACES. EVERYTHING THAT HOTS THE WINDSHIELD EITHER CRACKS THE GLASS OR CREATES A SIGNIFICANT CHIP THAT INTERFERE WITH PROPER VISION. I FEEL THE GLASS IS DEFECTIVE. TOYOTA JUST SAID I WAS UNLUCKY. BUT A WINDSHIELD SHOULD AFFORD SOME SAFETY FROM ROAD DEBRIS, THAT TIPICALLY DOESN'T CRACK OR EVEN CHIP THE GLASS. IF A QUARTER SIZE ROCK OR LARGER OBJECT HITS THE RAV 4 WINDSHIELD THAT I'M DRIVING, I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT IT WILL BURST OUT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 53 YEARS AND HAS ONE WINDSHIELD REPLACED PRIOR TO THIS ONE. THIS RAV4 CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 38000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. A SHATTERED WINDSHIELD IS A SIGNIFICANT RISK FACTOR IN ANY ACCIDENT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE WINDSHIELD SUPPLIED BY THE MANUFACTURER PROVED DEFECTIVE.

ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO I PURCHASED MY FIRST VEHICLE EVER, IT WAS A USED CAR, AS A NEW CAR OWNER I WAS SUPER EXCITED FOR MY FIRST CAR,DRIVING OUT THE DEALERSHIP! BUT LATER ON FINDING OUT THAT THE CAR HAD SOME SORT OF RECALL ON IT ,NOT KNOWING WHAT THIS MEANT, I STARTED DOING MY OWN RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD!

HAD AN ALIGNMENT PERFORMED AT TIRE DISCOUNTERS. AFTERWARDS THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE VEHICLE FRONT RIGHT CAMBER WAS OUT OF SPECS. THEY ATTEMPTED TO BRING SPECS WITHIN OEM BUT UNABLE TO. REQUIRED TO PURCHASE CAMBER KIT FROM TOYOTA TO PERFORM NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 14,000 MILES.

CAR LOST POWER TWICE, GOING UP A STEEP GRADE. 'HYBRID SYSTEM MALFUNCTION' WARNING CAME ON THE SCREEN, GAS PEDAL DID NOT WORK AT ALL. I WAS UNABLE TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR, BOTH TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE. DRIVING UP A STEEP MOUNTAIN, ABOUT 50F WEATHER.

FUEL TANK DOES NOT FILL UP TO MAXIMUM AND LEAVES ABOUT 3-4 GALLONS SHORT. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE LATE 2019. I'VE BROUGHT THIS US TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.

ABNORMAL BUZZ OR GROAN NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT TRANSFER CASE WHEN SLOWING OR ACCELERATING AROUND 15-20 MPH. TOYOTA TSB IDENTIFIES PROBLEM AS ELECTRO-MAGNETIC CLUTCH SHIFTING FROM 2WD TO 4WD ON CERTAIN MODELS. TOYOTA SAYS NOT A RECALL BUT WILL REPAIR WHICH REQUIRES OPENING THE TRANSFER CASE. BRAND NEW CAR AND TOYOTA SHOULD REPLACE ENTIRE TRANSFER CASE INSTEAD OF REPAIRING IT. DEALER ORDERED PARTS 3 WEEKS AGO AND STILL NOT DELIVERED. DEALER HAS NOT OFFERED LOANER CAR IN INTERIM.

REGARDING COMPLAINT # 11390472 I HAVE NOT HAD A RESPONSE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW VIA R-MAIL; BJCOLLIER44@GMAIL.. THANK YOU. AS YET, THE ISSUE, HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED.

THE CAR STALED AND I HEARD A WEIRD NOISE , LIKE A RIPPING SOUND, I INFORMED THE SERVICE DEPT PERSON WHEN I TOOK MY CAR FOR OIL CHANGE.

FUEL TANK DOES NOT FILL UP ALL THE WAY. MISSING ABOUT 3 GALLONS.

I AM WONDERING EXACTLY WHEN THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM.. (IT INVOLVES, 20V-064. ALSO, 20V01200. I AM UNDER THE IMPRESSION THEY WERE NOTIFIED OF "LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP .PRIOR TO 10/28/2020. IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED THE DAY AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE... WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE OCTOBER 28TH, 2020. I TRULY THINK THE DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE SELLING IT TO US ON THE 28TH. OF OCTOBER, 2020..

SECOND TIME IN COLD WEATHER, LOSS OF POWER ON INTERSTATE ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENT. ALL LIGHTS ON DASH FLASHING AND FLASHING THROUGH SEVERAL CODES. FULL TANK OF GAS BOTH TIMES, WITH HEAT IN GAS TANK. ENGINE RUMBLING AND RUNNING ON 2WD, VERY WEEK POWER BOTH TIMES.

DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK DESIGN ONLY ALLOWS ABOUT 8-9 GALLONS RATHER THAN THE 14.5 GALLONS ITS DESIGNED TO HOLD. TOYOTA SENT A LETTER LAST YEAR THAT THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE BUT ITS NOT OFFICIALLY A RECALL. THEY SAID THEY WOULD ADDRESS IT BUT NO WORD FROM THEM YET. DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME TO LOOK AT IT. ITS AS IF THEY DON'T RECOGNIZE THE ISSUE.

UNABLE TO FILL TANK TO PROPER AMOUNT STATED IN THE MANUAL. PUMP CLICKS OFF PRIOR TO THE TANK FILLING BUT IT SAYS IT IS FULL. MILEAGE TO EMPTY IS LESS THAN STATED WHEN PURCHASED. RAN OUT OF FUEL WHILE DRIVING! THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND TOYOTA IS GIVING RUN AROUND TRYING TO GET IT FIXED. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT.

GAS TANK WILL NOT FILL UP IN THE HYBRID MODEL. IT STOPS AT AROUND 8 GALLONS, LEAVING ALMOST 1/4 TANK CAPACITY. THIS HAS BEEN THE SITUATION SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE DEALER IS AWARE AND VERIFIED THE ISSUE

FUEL GUAGE DOES NOT WORK. IT SHOWS EMPTY WHEN THERE IS GAS IN THE TANK

ON DEC 14, 2020 I RECEIVED AN INTERIM NOTICE FROM TOYOTA CONCERNING MY 2019 RAV 4. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW (LEFTOVER) ON MAY 29, 2020. WHEN I RECEIVED THE INTERIM RECALL I HAD HAD THE CAR FOR ALMOST SEVEN MONTHS WITH APPROXIMATELY 3500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. SUBJECT OF RECALL: VEHICLE MAY STALL WHILE DRIVING. "THE VEHICLE MAY STOP OPERATING (STALL) AND THE DRIVER WOULD BE UNABLE TO RESTART IT". "IF A VEHICLE STALL OCCURS WHILE DRIVING, THIS COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH". "WE WILL NOTIFY YOU AGAIN WHEN THE REMEDY IS AVAILABLE".I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH SINCE IT INVOLVES MY SAFETY AS THE DRIVER. AS STATED THERE IS NO REMEDY. THE 'LIST' AT TOYOTA WAS STARTED IN JAN OF 2020 FOR AFFECTED MODELS. MY CAR WAS ADDED TO THE LIST IN OCT WHICH MEANS I DROVE FOR TWO MONTHS BEFORE BEING NOTIFIED OF A VERY SERIOUS RECALL. THE REPAIR PLAN IS DIVIDED INTO PHASES. MY RAV 4 WAS PHASE 10 (!!) BUT HAS BEEN MOVED TO PHASE 11. THE TARGET DATE FOR REPAIR IS LATE MARCH BUT SINCE THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM I DOUBT THIS DATE IS FEASIBLE. AFTER A LOT OF BACK AND FORTH WITH TOYOTA VIA THE DEALERSHIP AND MY INSISTENCE THAT THE CAR IS A DANGER TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY ON HIGHWAYS, I LEFT MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP AND RECEIVED A LOANER. I AM A 70 YEAR OLD WIDOW AND SPENDING $36,000 FOR A CAR WAS A VERY BIG DECISION. I AM STILL MAKING MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP INDEFINITELY.I HAVE SPOKEN WITH TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVES ABOUT REPURCHASING THE CAR FOR THE PURCHASE PRICE BUT APP

THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V682000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VENICE TOYOTA (900 US-41 BYP, VENICE, FL 34285; (941) 484-9000) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED AND THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

RECEIVED NOTICE FROM TOYOTA IN OCTOBER REGARDING DEFECT IN LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION SINCE.

COMPLAINT NUMBER 11282036, WHERE IS IT ON THE WEBSITE? THIS WAS MY COMPLAINT CONTACT ME TO LET ME KNOW, WHY IT IS NOT ON THE WEBSITE

FUEL TANK WILL NOT FILL COMPLETELY. WHEN FUELING, THE PUMP CONSISTENTLY SHUTS OFF BEFORE TANK INDICATOR REACHES "FULL". TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT REFUSES TO FIX MY VEHICLE DESPITE THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM NOTIFICATION WHICH IS CURRENTLY OCCURRING. I VISITED MY DEALER WHO WAS ABLE TO FILL THE TANK BY REPEATEDLY ADDING SMALL AMOUNTS OF GASOLINE EACH TIME THE FUEL PUMP SHUT OFF. NEW JERSEY, WHERE I RESIDE, DOES NOT ALLOW FOR SELF-SERVICE FILLING AND IT IS NOT PRACTICAL, NOR SAFE, TO FILL THE VEHICLE IN THIS MANNER. TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SHAPE OF THE FUEL TANK AND/OR THE FUEL SENDER GAUGE. GIVEN TOYOTA'S UNWILLINGNESS TO ADDRESS THIS KNOWN ISSUE, AND THE HAZARDOUS SITUATION CREATED BY REPEATEDLY RESTARTING THE FUEL PUMP AFTER EACH SHUT-OFF IN ORDER TO REACH "FULL" ON THE TANK, TOYOTA SHOULD BE MANDATED TO INITIATE A RECALL OF ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES, WHERE "AFFECTED" INCLUDES ALL VEHICLES THAT FAIL TO FILL THE TANK AFTER THE INITIAL SHUT-OFF OF THE FUEL PUMP.
