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.

DUE TO THE MANNER IN WHICH THE FRICTION LEVER INTERACTS WITH THE SLIDING SURFACE OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL INSIDE THE PEDAL SENSOR ASSEMBLY, THE SLIDING SURFACE OF THE LEVER MAY BECOME SMOOTH DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. IN THIS CONDITION, IF CONDENSATION OCCURS ON THE SURFACE, AS MAY OCCUR FROM HEATER OPERATION (WITHOUT A/C) WHEN THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY IS COLD, THE FRICTION WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS OPERATED MAY INCREASE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECOMING HARDER TO DEPRESS, SLOWER TO RETURN, OR, IN THE WORST CASE, MECHANICALLY STUCK IN A PARTIALLY DEPRESSED POSITION.
THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY BECOME HARD TO DEPRESS, SLOW TO RETURN TO IDLE, OR, IN THE WORST CASE, MECHANICALLY STUCK IN A PARTIALLY DEPRESSED POSITION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A REINFORCEMENT BAR IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHICH WILL ALLOW THE PEDAL TO OPERATE SMOOTHLY. GM WILL NOTIFY OWNERS FOR THE PONTIAC VIBE PLEASE SEE 10V-018.

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.

THE AWFM INCLUDES TWO GROMMET HOLES AND RETAINING HOOKS (CLIPS) TO SECURE THE MAT TO THE VEHICLE'S CARPET. IF THE AWFM IS NOT SECURED BY ITSELF OR IF IT IS PLACED ON TOP OF AN EXISTING CARPETING FLOOR MAT, THE MAT COULD MOVE FORWARD DURING THE VEHICLE USAGE AND IT MAY INTERFERE WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.
THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY TEMPORARILY BECOME STUCK IN A PARTIALLY DEPRESSED POSITION WHEN RETURNING TO THE IDLE POSITION. IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS, IT MAY INCREASE THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH.

IN THIS CONDITION, THE EXPANSION FORCE OF THE GAS MAY BE INSUFFICIENT TO PROPERLY INFLATE THE AIR BAG WHEN THE SRS SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED DURING A CRASH.
THIS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE OCCUPANT IN THE INVOLVED SEATING POSITION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY CE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS - HESITATION WITH 4 CYLINDER ENGINE. UPON ACCELERATING TO MERGE IN TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE, TRANSMISSION HESITATED ON THE ON RAMP WHICH ALMOST CAUSED ANOTHER VEHICLE TO REAREND MY VEHICLE. I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 40 - 45 MPH PRIOR TO ACCELERATION WHEN MY VEHICLE HESITATED CAUSING MY SPEED TO DECREASE CONSIDERABLY. IN TURN, THE VEHICLE FOLLOWING ME AT ABOUT A CAR LENGTH AND A HALF BACK CAME CLOSE TO REARENDING MY VEHICLE. THIS HESITATION HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. SPOKE WITH THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AS WELL AS TOYOTA MOTOR CORP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NO FIX. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED OR THE VEHICLE RECALLED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. *TR

I NOTICED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY NEW 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT THE CAR HESITATED ON ACCELERATION. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS NEW. I ALSO OWN A 1993 CAMRY, WHICH HAS NEVER GIVEN US A PROBLEM. BESIDES GAS AND OIL CHANGES THIS CAR STILL RUNS WELL. HAD I KNOWN THAT THIS NEWER MODEL WAS GOING TO BE SCARY TO DRIVE I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED IT. LIKE SO MANY OTHERS, I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. IT CONTINUES TO HESITATE WHEN YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY, IN REVERSE IT FLIES OUT OF THE GARAGE EVEN WHEN NOT PRESSING ON THE GAS...I REFUSE TO LET MY 16 YEAR OLD DRIVE IT AND FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM. PS I ALSO HAD TO HAVE MY TIRES CHANGED AFTER ONLY A FEW THOUSAND MILES, THEY WERE COMPLETELY WORN. *TR

FROM THE TIME I PURCHASED THE CAR I NOTICED THAT WHEN I FLOORED THE GAS PEDAL OR JUST STEPPED ON IT TO PASS A CAR, THERE WOULD BE A HESITATION OF 4-5 SECONDS BEFORE IT WOULD WIND UP AND THEN GO. I TALKED TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THAT YES THEY WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE EARLY MODELS OF 2007'S AND HE GOT APPROVAL FROM TOYOTA TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT A NEW PROGRAM NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED ON THE TRANSMISSION. THEY DID IT BUT IT IS STILL THE SAME. ON 10-25-08 I WENT TO THE DEALER TO AGAIN COMPLAIN AND THEY SAID THAT I WOULD JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN YOU ACCELERATE YOU NEED THE CAR TO RESPOND, WHICH IT WILL NOT DO. *TR

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR, BUT THE VEHICLE STILL HESITATED TO PICK UP SPEED AND THEN SUDDENLY SPED OFF. THE DEALER FOUND NO FAILURES; HOWEVER, THEY LATER ASKED HER TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK FOR REPAIRS. AFTER THE REPAIRS, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO LACK ACCELERATION.
