Why is the Toyota RUSH NOT INCLUDED?
ReplyDeleteTOYOTA RUSH AT 1.5 E 2020 BRAKE OR ENGINE ISSUE
ReplyDeleteSituation:
- bumper- to- bumper traffic, peak hour
- level plain road, NOT inclined
- aircon off since it's night time and to save gasoline
- was driving in "D" mode idle speed since it was heavy traffic
- when slowly maneuvering a U-turn on "D" mode idle speed, a few cars did not give way so when I was about to press the pedal brake, it was so stiff and was very hard to press. It ended-up colliding and slightly scratching the back of a coaster van.
- right after the collision, the car momentarily stopped for a fraction of a second and I thought the brake finally functioned but it suddenly continued to move forward. Upon realization that the break still did NOT function, we immediately fully engaged the emergency handbrake but the car continued to move forward until we hit a wall.
(Upon reviewing the dashcam several times, we noticed that there was a weird engine sound when the car momentarily stopped right after the collision, before it continued to move forward. I'm not a technical person but it feels like the engine momentarily stalled. )
- right after the incident and police report, I turned on the engine and tested the pedal brakes and it was still stiff and hard to press. I had to pump the pedal brakes a few times before it went back to normal.
Questions:
- has any of you experienced the same situation? fuel pump or engine issues affecting the pedal brakes?
- we are still wondering why the pedal brakes and emergency hand brakes malfunctioned at the same time when they had separate braking mechanisms?
- fully engaged emergency hand brakes can stop the car right, especially if it's just on slow "D" mode idle speed?
- has any of you heard about the stalling issue of Denso fuel pumps?
- does anyone here know who is the manufacturer of Toyota Rush 2020 fuel pumps?
- has there been any recalls on Toyota Rush 2020?
- we also noticed that when we turn the steering wheel, it produces some clunking sound, is it normal?
We already raised this concern to Toyota and was advised that there is nothing wrong with the car but they can't explain what happened. We are still trying to figure out what was the reason why the brakes did not function as it can endanger our lives and the lives of others. Any thoughts or advice will surely help.
Thank you!
Ibalik nyo yung dating DENSO na made in japan talaga, hindi yung Indonesia
ReplyDeleteWhy is avanza not included 2015 2016 models
ReplyDeleteIMHO, its nothing to do about the fuel pump issue. It only delivers fuel to the engine and its not related to your braking system. I think the stopping power of your braking system was compromised (many factors to consider like the ABS, ECU problem, leaks, brake fluid level, etc.) As usual, casa's traditional legendary response is "there are no problem withbthe car" in order for them to deny the issue and stay away from trouble.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing, Rush is a Daihatsu made car, rebadge by Toyota. Purely made in Indonesia not in Japan. So you may question its quality.
The only official recall for Rush is the airbag issue, as of now, no for fuel pump.
Hope it helps..
