A fuel pump that squeaks? I understand on a new car you expect nothing to be wrong but put things into perspective.. the worst that will happen is you will hear a squeak if the hood is open or you're parked somewhere in dead silence it's not like it'll leave you stuck or catch on fire. I'm not a Toyota fanboy but this is an superfluous over reaction that can impact resale prices on a pretty good car (P.S. aside from the FR-S there's no other Toyota I'd buy except a new Supra or ES350 and the current Subaru line up doesn't do it for me either). I think the bigger annoyance with this car is how Toyota keeps changing the configuration with its features making some customers feel cheated because they didn't have the choice to purchase exactly what they wanted and were forced to settled on a product that was lacking. SCION monospec doesn't work, let people decide with their wallets.
I think the following people should be more vocal (and reflected in CR):
3,800 2013/14 four(?!) Cylinder Tacoma owners with potential engine damage.
10,000 2014 Corollas with bad windshield wiper switches.
344,187 Honda Odyssey owners with electrical/software issues.
471,820 Honda Odyssey owners with hydraulic brake issues.
Don't get me started on the "Big Three" and Hyundai...............
