TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004 AVALON VEHICLES; 2004 AND 2005 CAMRY, CAMRY SOLARA, HIGHLANDER, AND SIENNA VEHICLES, 2006 HIGHLANDER HYBRID; 2004 AND 2005 LEXUS ES330 AND RX330; AND 2006 LEXUS RX400H VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM JUNE 1, 2004 THROUGH MARCH 31, 2005, EQUIPPED WITH THE 1MZ-FE OR 3MZ-FE ENGINE. THE AMOUNT OF ADHESIVE AGENT APPLIED BETWEEN THE OUTER RING AND THE TORSIONAL RUBBER DAMPER (INNER RING) IN THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY MAY BE INADEQUATE. IF THE ADHESIVE IS INSUFFICIENT, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE OUTER RING MAY BECOME MISALIGNED AND IT MAY NOT PROPERLY ROTATE WITH THE INNER RING, CAUSING NOISE AND/OR ILLUMINATION OF THE BATTERY DISCHARGE INDICATOR LIGHT.
IN SOME CASES, THE BELT FOR THE POWER STEERING PUMP MAY BECOME DETACHED FROM THE PULLEY WHICH COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND A SUDDEN INCREASE IN STEERING EFFORT, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
TOYOTA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL CHECK THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY TO IDENTIFY WHETHER IT WAS PRODUCED BY THE U.S. SUPPLIER. IF SO, THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE PULLEY WITH A NEW ONE AT NO CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING EARLY JANUARY 2012. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331.

ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A FRONT PASSENGER POWER SEAT, WHEN INSTALLING CERTAIN REAR-FACING INFANT CHILD SEAT BASES ONTO THE SEAT WITH AN EXCESSIVELY HIGH SEATBELT TENSION, IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO UNSEAT A COMPONENT CALLED THE BUCKLE STATUS SWITCH FROM THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE.
IF THE SWITCH BECOMES UNSEATED, THE FRONT PASSENGER OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM MAY MISTAKE THE REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT FOR AN UNBELTED ADULT OCCUPANT, AND MAY NOT SUPPRESS THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEATBELT BUCKLE STATUS SWITCH. THIS SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN (SSC 40M) BEGAN ON DECEMBER 20, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331 OR LEXUS AT 1-800-255-3987..

ON CERTAIN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CURTAIN SHIELD AIR BAGS (CSA), ONE OR BOTH OF THE CURTAIN AIR BAGS MAY BE TWISTED NEAR THE INFLATOR DUE TO IMPROPER ASSEMBLY.
IF THIS OCCURS, THE CSA MAY NOT DEPLOY RAPIDLY ENOUGH WHEN ACTIVATED IN A SIDE IMPACT COLLISION. THIS MAY RESULT IN FAILURE TO PROVIDE THE INTENDED HEAD PROTECTION, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE CSAS AND REPLACE THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 6, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331.

CRACKS IN THE VINYL DASHBOARD HAVE STARTED ON BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR AND ARE CONTINUING TO GET BIGGER. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE DASHBOARD CRACKS ALONG THE FRONT OF THE DASH COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE THE AIRBAGS FROM DEPLOYING OR CAUSE THEM TO DEPLOY UNNECESSARILY. *TR

WE HAVE A 2004 TOYOTA SOLARA. RECENTLY WE HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL CRACKS/FRACTURES IN THE DASH BOARD, PRIMARILY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL YEAR. TOYOTA MAINTAINS THE SITUATION IS COSMETIC AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. OUR CONCERN IS THIS IS A POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED THROUGH THE DASHBOARD. IF THE DASHBOARD IS WEAKENED BY THIS CRACKING. WOULD THIS INCREASE THE POSSIBILITY THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING INCORRECTLY, THUS RAISING THE POSSIBILITY OF INJURY OR DEATH? WE HAVE A DISABLED DAUGHTER THAT FREQUENTLY SITS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE SITUATION IS SAFE FOR HER. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2004 TOYOTA SOLARA SE NEW IN 2004. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH HAS COME ON AND OFF SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. IT NOW IS ON MOST OF THE TIME. AS I UNDERSTAND IT WHEN IT IS ON IT DISABLES THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WHICH IS DANGEROUS. THE "BUCKLE SAFETY SWITCH" AMONG OTHER THINGS MAY BE THE PROBLEM. TOYOTA HAS HAD PROBLEMS IN THESE AREAS WITH OTHER MODELS AND MADE RECALLS. THE SAME DEFECTS MAY BE IN OTHER MODELS AND THEY HAVE NOT YET RECALLED OR REPAIRED THE CARS. THEY SHOULD FIX THEIR DEFECTS FOR FREE FAST PRIOR TO SOMEONE GETTING KILLED. MY VIN # IS [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WE OWN A 2004 TOYOTA CAMRY, PURCHASED IN OR, REGISTERED IN WA SINCE 2005. WE HAVE HAD THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR RESET AT LEAST 6 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE, BOTH IN OR AND WA. THE VAST MAJORITY OF THESE REPAIRS DONE UNDER WARRANTY. MICHAEL'S TOYOTA IN BELLEVUE HAS STATED THAT THEY "REPLACED" THE SENSOR LAST TIME IT FAILED BUT IT ONCE AGAIN HAS FAILED; WHICH MEANS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. MICHAEL'S TOYOTA'S SERVICE MANAGER HAS STATED THAT THE LAST REPAIR WAS THE LAST ONE THEY WOULD ABSORB. I BELIEVE THIS AIRBAG SENSOR WAS NOT REPLACED AND REMAINS FAULTY; EITHER BY DESIGN OR IN THIS PARTICULAR ONE. I AM BRINGING IT IN FOR ANOTHER REPAIR TOMORROW BUT EXPECT A BATTLE OVER THE COST OF REPAIR BEING ABSORBED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THIS FAILED AIRBAG SENSOR MEANS DANGEROUS CONDITIONS FOR ANYONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. ACCORDING TO THE WA STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, THIS MAY BE A KNOWN PROBLEM ALREADY. *TR

THE FRONT LEFT OF THE CAR WAS MAKING NOISE. WHEN I DRIVE, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VIBRATING WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE. WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL STOPPED WORKING. AS THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT WORK, I TRIED TO STOPPED THE CAR BY PRESSING THE BRAKES, BUT THAT DID NOT STOP THE CAR. THE FRONT OF MY CAR HIT INTO THE CENTER DIVIDER ON THE FREEWAY AND THEN THE BACK OF MY CAR ALSO HIT THE DIVIDER. WHEN THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED I WAS BLOCKING 3 LANES ON A 5 LANE FREEWAY FACING TRAFFIC. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EVEN THOUGH I WAS DRIVING 55 MPH. THE FRONT BUMPER COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM THE CAR. I SUFFERED WHIPLASH INCLUDING NECK AND SHOULDER PAINS. I JUST HAD MY CAR MAINTAINED ABOUT A MONTH AGO. *TR

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: WITHOUT HEARING THE NEWS RELATED TO TOYOTA VEHICLE RECALL, I HAVE FELT REALLY STUPID HOW I COULD HAVE HAD THE ACCIDENT. RECALLING THE PROCESS OF THE ACCIDENT, I MIGHT HAVE TO SAY IT WAS WEIRD. BEFORE THE CRASH, I CLEARLY NOTICED THE RED LIGHT AND A STOPPED CAR JUST IN FRONT OF ME ON N PERKINS RD, CLOSE TO MCELROY RD IN STILLWATER, OKLAHOMA, AND THE DISTANCE WAS MORE THAN 20 METERS APART AT THAT MOMENT. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS USUAL, BUT MY CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN UNTIL HIT THE CAR BEFORE MINE, AND THE AIRBAG DID NOT POP OUT. MY FACE WAS KNOCKED ONTO THE STEERING WHEEL AND ONE OF MY GLASSES SMASHED, FORTUNATELY NOT MAKING ME BLIND, AND TWO TEETH IN MOUTH WERE BLEEDING ALONG WITH SOME SCRATCHES ON MY FACE. THE CAR WAS TOTALED AT THE SPEED OF LESS 40 MI/H. PEOPLE LOVE TOYOTA VEHICLES FOR THE REASON OF SAVING GAS AT THE SACRIFICE OF SAFETY. SHORTLY, THE POLICE AND AMBULANCE ARRIVED. I DECLINED ANY MEDICAL ARRANGEMENT AFTER BEING TESTED THAT MY MIND WAS UNDER CONTROL AND COULD MAKE DECISION CLEARLY BECAUSE I WAS NOT SURE WHETHER MY INSURANCE COVERS THE COST OR NOT. AND NOW, AS THE PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA VEHICLES WAS DISCLOSED, I FEEL MY ACCIDENT MIGHT ALSO BE DUE TO THE SAME GAS PEDAL DEFECT. (IN STILLWATER, OKLAHOMA, CALL: 405-372-4171 TO REQUEST A REPORT). INSURANCE COMPANY SAFECO. *TR

SINCE TOYOTA IS HAVING ALL THESE PROBLEMS I WANT TO BRING UP A PROBLEM WITH MY TOYOTA CAMRY THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT HAS NOT CAUSED A PROBLEM YET. IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. ABOUT A TWO MONTHS AGO I GOT AN AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT ON THE CONSOLE THAT TELLS YOU WHETHER THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS MALFUNCTIONING TOO. SO WITH SOMEONE IN THE FRONT RIGHT SEAT, THE INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE SYSTEM THINKS THERE IS NO ONE THERE SO THE AIRBAG IS OFF. I SAID SOMETHING TO THE DEALER BUT HE DID NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT A RECALL. THERE IS 122K MILES ON THE CAR. MAYBE THIS IS JUST SOME SENSOR THAT WORE OUT BUT I WANTED TO MENTION IT WITH ALL THE OTHER SAFETY ISSUES GOING ON WITH TOYOTA. *JB

I BOUGHT A 2004 CAMRY ABOUT A MONTH AGO FROM MY LOCAL TOYOTA USED CAR DEALER. A WEEK LATER I TOLD THEM FRONT-END FELT FUNNY AND NEEDED TO BE CHECKED. THEY SAID I NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT. HAD THAT DONE. CALLED THEM LAST WEEK AND SAID I STILL FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOME SORT OF FRONT-END PROBLEM. MY BRAKE PEDAL IS SPONGY AND ALMOST TO THE GROUND. SOMETIMES I'M NOT SURE IF I'M GOING TO STOP IN TIME. ALSO TOLD THEM MY STEERING WHEEL WAS SHIMMYING. I WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS PROBABLY INDICATING A TIRE BALANCE ISSUE AND THEY WOULD CHARGE ME $50 TO BALANCE/ROTATE MY TIRES. I DECIDED TO PUT THE MONEY TOWARD NEW FRONT TIRES INSTEAD HOPING THAT WOULD ALSO REDUCE ROAD NOISE. AS FOR THE BRAKES.... I WAS TOLD THAT WAS STANDARD FOR THE CAMRY MODELS AND WAS A KNOWN DESIGN ISSUE BUT NO CORRECTIONS WERE IN PLACE THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF. LAST WEEKEND I WAS IN A CRASH. MY BRAKES FAILED! MY ABS DID NOT ENGAGE AND MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 30-40 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THE PERSON IN FRONT HIT THEIR BRAKES. I HIT MINE AND CONTINUED TO SKID INTO THE BACK OF THEIR VEHICLE. I HAD PLENTY OF ROOM TO STOP. THERE'S NO REASON OTHER THAN BRAKE FAILURE FOR ME TO HAVE CRASHED. *TR
