Incident: March 21, 2026 · Filed: March 23, 2026

When I start my car, every once in a while it acts as if it is not getting enough gas and lags. In the colder months it seems to do this more often and sometimes will not start. When the weather is warmer it will sporadically do this. I have put a new battery in thinking it was weak and this could be the cause for it to not want to start, but it has done this at least 5 times within the month that the battery was replaced. My VIN is not showing a recall for the fuel pump like the other 2016 IS200t models, but I’m afraid that this is the recall problem. What should I do if my mechanic says it is the fuel pump? Will it get replaced under the recall?
