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.

I HAD EVERY RECALL TAKEN CARE OF AS SOON AS I RECEIVED IT AT & ALSO KEPT UP WITH ALL OF THE MAINTENANCE ON MY VEHICLE AT A CERTIFIED MECHANIC SHOP. I HAVE ALL OF MY SERVICE RECORDS & WITNESSES. THE END OF 2015 MY CAR STARTED BURNING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I ENDED UP TAKING IT TO THE MECHANIC & HE WAS ADDING OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES STATING IT WAS NORMAL FOR IT TO BURN OIL. THEY ALSO WENT WITH A THICKER OIL TO TRY TO FIX IT.I WAS ALSO ADDING OIL WHENEVER IT STARTED GETTING LOW. WELL MY CAR OVERHEATED & CRACKED MY HEAD GASKET. AFTER GOING ONTO TOYOTAS WEBSITE & TYPING MY VIN NUMBER IN, IT STATES THERE AREN'T ANY RECALLS OR SERVICE CAMPAIGNS.

AFTER CONTACTING 2 TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS & TOYOTA SERVICE, THEY BOTH RAN MY VIN # & IT SHOWS THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR BOTH PROBLEMS.CUSTOMERS DID NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THIS UNLESS THEY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP.TOYOTA SERVICE STATED TO ME THE ONLY WAY THEY WOULD REPLACE ANYTHING TO DO WITH MY ENGINE IS IF AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IS RUN, WELL MY ENGINE IS BURNED UP.IF MY CAR WAS BEING WORKED ON BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC & I HAVE SERVICE RECORDS PROVING ALL OF MY RECALLS & MAINTENANCE WAS DONE, THEY SHOULD HONOR THAT.THERE ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS STATING THE SAME THINGS.

LATER IT WAS LIKE MILK. THIS IS WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED ON ME IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC FROM OVER HEATING. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE DEALER AND TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS SINCE APRIL 2016 TO RESOLVED THIS.

MY FATHER-IN-LAW IS A AUTO MECHANIC. HE CHANGES THE OIL IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY EVERY 2500-3500 MILES. THIS IS WELL BEFORE THE RECOMMENDED 5,000 MILE SERVICE REMINDER LIGHT COMES ON. THE CAR ALWAYS BURNED OIL BUT OVER THE LAST YEAR HE HAS NOTICED THAT THE CAR IS BURNING SIGNIFICANTLY MORE OIL. HE RECOMMENDED THAT I TAKE THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALER FOR A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I TOOK THE CAR TO ROUTE 44 TOYOTA IN RAYNHAM MA FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN WITH 147,212 MILES FOR THE TEST AND A OIL CHANGE. I WAS TOLD TO BRING THE CAR BACK BETWEEN 148,212 - 148,512 MILES. I NOTICED THAT AFTER I ORIGINAL BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THE THE TEST, THE CAR WOULD IDLES AT 800 RPM WHEN STOPPED, AFTER THE OIL CHANGE AND TEST THE CAR IDLE AT 500-600 RPM. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO ROUTE 44 TOYOTA FOR PHASE II OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WITH 148,290 MILES. THE SERVICED ADVISOR SAID THAT THE CAR PASSED THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND WAS ONLY DOWN 1/2 A QUART OF OIL.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. IN FEBRUARY 2016 TOYOTA TOOK POSSESSION OF MY VEHICLE FOR 3-4 WEEKS TO REPAIR OR REBUILD THE ENGINE TO COMPLY WITH THE RECALL REQUIREMENTS. I WAS PROVIDED A LOANER CAR DURING THAT PERIOD. DURING THE LESS THAN 2 MONTH PERIOD BETWEEN WHEN MY CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME ON 2/18/16 AND APRIL 10, 2016, I DID NOT TAKE MY CAR TO ANY REPAIR SHOP NOR DID I TOUCH THE ENGINE FOR ANY REASON. APPARENTLY TOYOTA DID NOT PROPERLY REPAIR THE VEHICLE WHEN THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE DONE. ON 4/10/16, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE, THE ENGINE SELF-DESTRUCTED, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE, SMOKE ENGULFED THE ENGINE AND THEN IT CEASED RUNNING. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR WARRANTY REPAIR. ON 4/11/16, I CALLED TOYOTA FOR WARRANTY PAYMENT TO BE MADE TO THE DEALERSHIP SO THE ENGINE COULD BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED, I WAS TOLD THAT FIRST I HAD TO PAY FOR THE $5,800 WORK TO BE DONE AND THEN TOYOTA WOULD REIMBURSE ME ONCE I SHOWED THAT I HAD ALL MY SERVICE RECEIPTS THAT I HAD PROPERLY MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE. THIS WAS AN OUTRAGEOUS POSITION FOR TOYOTA TO TAKE, BECAUSE THE CAR WAS RELEASED TO ME AFTER TOYOTA THOROUGHLY WORKED ON IT FOR 3-4 WEEKS AND INSPECTED IT BEFORE RELEASING THE CAR TO ME ON 2/18/16. WHAT POSSIBLE MAINTENANCE WOULD I HAVE DONE IN UNDER TWO (2) MONTHS. I AM ALSO A LOW INCOME WAGE EARNER AND TO REQUIRE ME TO FUND $5,800 AND WAIT FOR REIMBURSEMENT WAS UNDULY BURDENSOME. COUPLE WITH THE FACT THAT THE TOYOTA OF PRINCETON INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD NOT BE GIVEN A COMPLIMENTARY LOANER CAR DURING THE REPAIR PERIOD. THE COST OF ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION AND ADVANCING $5,800 WAS IMPOSSIBLE AND A CLEVER WAY FOR TOYOTA TO AVOID THEIR FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY UNDER THE WARRANTY. INSTEAD, I SAW NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO ACCEPT THE OFFER OF PRINCETON TOYOTA TO GIVE ME $2000 CREDIT TOWARD THE PRICE OF A USED CAR.

MY CAMRY HAS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND OIL NEEDED TO BE CHANGED ONCE AGAIN IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS. TOYOTA HAS A RECALL ON OIL BURNING UP BUT THEY CHECKED LAST TIME AND SAID IT'S OKAY. EVIDENTLY IT'S NOT. THE MECHANIC RECOMMENDED BRAKE BOOSTER FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT ISSUE WHICH COSTS FROM $750-$1,200 WHICH IS HARD TO AFFORD. THIS KIND OF ISSUE CAN COST YOUR LIFE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECALL THIS AND FIX IT SINCE SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.
