Toyota is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 Camry, Camry Hybrid, RAV4, Corolla, Corolla Matrix, Tundra, Sequoia, Highlander, Highlander Hybrid, Yaris, Scion xB, Scion xD and Pontiac Vibe vehicles. The power window master switch assemblies in some of these vehicles were built using a less precise process for lubricating the internal components of the switch assemblies. Irregularities in this lubrication process may cause the power window master switch assemblies to malfunction and overheat.
If the switch overheats, it may melt, possibly resulting in a fire.
Toyota will notify its owners, and dealers will inspect the switch and apply a special grease that inhibits heat build up or replace any switch damaged by the defect, free of charge. Toyota owners that experience a problem with a switch should not attempt to make repairs, but should contact their Toyota dealer or the Toyota Customer Experience Center at 1-800-331-4331. General Motors will contact the Pontiac Vibe owners affected by this recall and GM dealers will inspect and repair switches as necessary. Those owners may contact Pontiac Customer Care at 1-800-762-2737.

TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2010 PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAN GET STUCK IN THE WIDE OPEN POSITION DUE TO ITS BEING TRAPPED BY AN UNSECURED OR INCOMPATIBLE DRIVER'S FLOOR MAT.
A STUCK OPEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY RESULT IN VERY HIGH VEHICLE SPEEDS AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
TOYOTA FILED AN AMENDED DEFECT REPORT ON NOVEMBER 25, 2009, STATING THAT DEALERS WILL MODIFY THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND, ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, ALTER THE SHAPE OF THE FLOOR SURFACE UNDER THE PEDAL. THESE CHANGES ADDRESS THE RISK OF PEDAL ENTRAPMENT DUE TO INTERFERENCE WITH THE FLOOR MAT. REDESIGNED ACCELERATOR PEDALS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE BEGINNING IN APRIL 2010 AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE ANY MODIFIED PEDAL WITH THE NEW PEDAL IF DESIRED. ALSO, DEALERS WILL REPLACE ANY GENUINE TOYOTA OR LEXUS ALL-WEATHER FLOOR MATS WITH REDESIGNED ALL-WEATHER MATS, OR REPURCHASE THE PREVIOUS MATS FROM OWNERS WHO DO NOT WANT THE NEW ONES. ADDITIONALLY, SOFTWARE MODIFICATIONS WILL BE INSTALLED ON CAMRY, AVALON AND LEXUS ES 350, IS 350 AND IS 250 MODELS THAT WILL ENSURE THAT THE BRAKE OVERRIDES THE ACCELERATOR IN THE EVENT BOTH BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS ARE APPLIED.

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY LE FOUR DOOR AUTOMATIC SEDAN HAS INTERMITTENT ERRATIC PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL: THE ABS AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND THE TACHOMETER, THERMOMETER AND OTHER GAUGES BOUNCE UP AND DOWN THIS PROBLEM STARTED TWO DAYS AGO, THE EVENTS LAST FOR A FEW SECONDS TO TEN MINUTES, EPISODES OCCUR SPORADICALLY AND THE CAR CONTINUES TO DRIVE NORMALLY DURING THE EVENTS. I CALLED TOYOTA (800) 331-4331 AND ASKED FOR A WARRANTY EXTENSION TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. ON JULY 1, 2015, CENTRAL FLORIDA TOYOTA IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA TRIED TO CHARGE ME $59.00, I REFUSED TO PAY AND THEY EVENTUALLY PROCEEDED TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM WITHOUT CHARGE. THE REPAIR ESTIMATE GIVEN TO ME SAYS, "$2,217.05 FOR ABS ACTUATOR ASSY., R&R. THE MECHANIC SAID THIS IS SERIOUS; THE BRAKES CAN LOCK UP WHILE I AM DRIVING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET BUT TOYOTA CORPORATE SAID THIS PROBLEM IS NOT SUBJECT TO A RECALL OR A REPORTED PROBLEM. (JUST GOOGLE, "2007 TOYOTA CAMRY ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT ON". CONSUMER COMPLAINANTS ALLEGE THAT THE BOSCH ABS ECU HAS A FLAW IN CIRCUIT BOARD DESIGN.) THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM AND SO COMMON AS TO INDICATE THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED FREE BY TOYOTA. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER.

THE HYBRID BATTERY OVERHEATED ACCORDING THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT OTHER HYBRID BATTERIES HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE FILTER AT THE FRONT OF THE CAR, WHICH ALLOWS DEBRIS AND DIRT TO GET INTO THE COMPARTMENT THAT HOUSES THE HYBRID BATTERY. IT IS A $3,900 COST TO REPLACE THE HYDRID BATTERY SINCE IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY WITH 200,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT TOYOTA HAD MODIFIED THE NEW FILTER TO STOP THE DEBRIS AND OVERHEATING PROBLEM, AND THAT THE NEW FILTER WOULD NOT ALLOW DEBRIS IN. SINCE TOYOTA WAS AWARE OF THE FILTER ALLOWING DEBRIS INTO THE HYDRID BATTERY DEPARTMENT, AND MODIFIED THE NEW FILTER TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM WHY WAS I NOT NOTIFIED TO REPLACE THE FILTER BEFORE IT ALLOWED THE BATTERY TO OVERHEAT THE HYBRID BATTERY TO BE DESTROYED?
Electrical system, Fuel/propulsion system, Jun 1, 2015
THE HYBRID BATTERY OVERHEATED ACCORDING TO THE SHOP OF THE DEALER. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. THE WARRANTY IS 8 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES ON HYBRID BATTERY. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FRONT FILTER ALLOWS DIRT INTO THE HYBRID BATTERY COMPARTMENT, WHICH RESULTS IN THE OVERHEATING. IT IS A $3,900.00 COST TO REPLACE THE HYBRID BATTERY. THE MECHANIC ALSO STATES THAT THE NEW FILTER HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN ORDER TO NOT ALLOW THE DEBRIS TO GET INTO THE HYBRID BATTERY. IF TOYOTA WAS AWARE TO THE POINT OF MODIFYING THE FILTER IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE DEBRIS FROM GETTING INTO THE HYBRID BATTERY AREA WHY DIDN'T THEY TELL ME THAT THE FILTER WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED REPLACED TO PROTECT THE HYBRID BATTERY?

SOME WERE CLAIMING THAT THE ISSUE IS WITH THE ABS MODULE.
