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 WAS DRIVING ON THE FREE WAY THE FIRST TIME THIS EVENT HAPPENED TO ME. MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THAT MY BRAKE WAS ON I PULLED OVER TO CHECK IT AND MY BRAKE WAS OFF. WHEN I WENT BACK ON THE FREEWAY ALL OF MY WARNING LIGHTS TURNED ON AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO BRAKE I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL REALLY HARD TO EVEN GET MY CAR TO STOP. THE WARNING LIGHTS WILL STAY ON FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES OR SO AND THEN THE BRAKES LOCK AND COME TO A SUDDEN STOP. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHO SOLD ME MY CAR AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME IT BECAME QUITE DANGEROUS. THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY GOING 65 (THE SPEED LIMIT). I WAS BEING VERY CAUTIOUS WITH MY CAR SINCE THAT HAPPENED. ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN. I WAS ON A FREEWAY RAMP MERGING TO GET ONTO A DIFFERENT FREE WAY SECTION. I COULD NOT BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN. FINALLY WHEN I PUSHED THE PEDAL HARD ENOUGH MY BRAKES LOCKED AND I DID A 360 ALMOST HITTING TWO CARS PASSING ME. MY CAR IS AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR LIKE THIS AFTER IT DID THE 360 AT 60 MPH. PLEASE HELP I SUBMITTED PICTURES OF ALL THE LIGHTS THAT COME ON THE PICTURE IS MISSING THE ABS BUT THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL. I ALSO SUBMITTED WHAT I THINK IS THE PROBLEM ALSO. *TR

ABS ACTUATOR PROBLEM: MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS A FAILED ABS ACTUATOR. THIS WILL COST ME $2,000 TO REPLACE. THE ABS AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE TACHOMETER STARTED FLUCTUATING WILDLY, SO I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 9.5 YEARS AND IT HAS ABOUT 78,000 MILES ON IT, SO I BELIEVE THE ORIGINAL PART SHOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER. I AM AWARE OF THE ABS ACTUATOR PROBLEMS ON THE 2007-08 CAMRY HYBRID MODELS, SO I THINK YOU SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE ABS ACTUATORS ON THE REGULAR CAMRY MODELS TOO.

THE CAR WAS SKIDDING AND KEEP GOING AND I PUMPED THE BRAKES AND STILL THE CAR WAS MOVING FORWARD. I CAME CLOSE TO HITTING ANOTHER CAR AND LUCKILY STOPPED COUPLE OF INCHES FROM THE OTHER CAR. IT KEEPS HAPPENING OFTEN AND I AM WORRIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AS IT IS. IT WORKS FINE AND SUDDENLY GOES TO THIS BRAKE FAILING MODE.

( REPLACED THE FOLLOWING; FLEX PIPE, 02 SENSOR, SPARK PLUGS AND FUEL PUMP. FOR A TOTAL OF 1400.00) WHILE DRIVING ON I-95 AT 60 MPH, AIRBAG LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT AND SEAT BELT LIGHT ALL ILLUMINATED AT THE SAME TIME. TECHOMETER SURGED OUT OF CONTROL, ENGINE TEMP GAUGE DISPLAYED NO READING AND SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO. OH AND YEAH, THE AC THAT WAS BLOWING VERY COLD AIR SWITCHED TO WARM OR HOT. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAPPENED AT THE SAME TIME ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH. IRONICALLY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE AND THE MECHANIC IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE AS THERE IS NO CODE ISSUED FROM THE COMPUTER FOR THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND THERE IS NO WARNING. THE ENGINE PERFORMS NORMAL DURING THIS ISSUE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE AC THAT FAILS EVERY TIME. THIS ISSUE CAN AND HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR IS SITTING PARKED WITH ENGINE RUNNING AND WHILE IN MOTION. I AM SO AFRAID THAT THIS EVENTUALLY WILL CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH. AND THE MOST ANNOYING PART IS NO MECHANIC CAN TELL ANY OF US WHY THIS HAPPENS OR HOW TO FIX IT. PLEASE, PLEASE, HELP US BEFORE THE WORST HAPPENS.

BORROWED MY MOM'S 2007 HYBRID CAMRY WHICH SHE HAS BEEN BRINGING TO CITY TOYOTA IN DALY CITY, CA, FOR MAINTENANCE. WHILE ON FREEWAY I NOTICED DELAY IN RESPONSE WHEN BRAKING AND HAVE TO PRESS DOWN HARDER AS DID MY DAUGHTER WHO USES IT FOR WORK. CALLED CITY TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD THERE'S A LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN (LSC) #E0U FOR BRAKE RESERVOIR TANK REPLACEMENT WHICH SHOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE (SIMILAR TO A RECALL). AFTER SPEAKING TO TWO SERVICE EMPLOYEES I WAS TOLD THAT I CAN LEAVE THE CAR ON SAT, JUNE 18, AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE COMING MONDAY. THE SERVICE MGR, CALLED ME AND SAID I NEEDED TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC COMPLETED FOR $160 AND IF IT'S RELATED TO THE LSC I WOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE $160. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO LEAVE THE CAR FOR ONE WEEK. I EXPLAINED I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY THE DIAGNOSTIC IF THE BRAKE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE LSC. HE THEN TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD NOT FIX THE CAR "BECAUSE OF OUR CONVERSATION". THIS WAS UPSETTING AS MY HUSBAND AND I DROVE 2 CARS 20 MILES AWAY SO THAT I CAN GET BACK HOME. I TOLD HIM TO JUST FIX THE LSC AND DO NOT DO THE DIAGNOSTIC AND HE TOLD ME TO PICK UP MY CAR SINCE HE WILL NOT AUTHORIZE ANYONE TO FIX IT. SO I PICKED UP MY CAR AGAIN WITH MY HUSBAND AND WILL BE TAKING IT ELSE WHERE. THE SERVICE MGR ALSO LIED ON THE INVOICE STATING THAT I DECLINED THE OFFER TO FIX THE LSC AND THAT HE OFFERED TO FIX IT AND COMPLETE THE WORK ON THE SAME DAY. WHY WOULD I GO BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT HAVING THE CAR FIXED WHEN I KNOW IT SHOULD BE DONE FOR FREE? THIS SERVICE MANAGER ACTED UNPROFESSIONALLY AND IS A LIAR. IN ADDITION, MY MOM BROUGHT IN HER CAR FOR A 45K SERVICE EARLY 2016 WHICH INCLUDED BRAKES AND ALSO IN 2015 FOR 40K SERVICE. THE LSC DATE WAS EFFECTIVE JULY 10, 2014, WHICH MEANT THAT CITY TOYOTA NEGLECTED TO FIX THIS BRAKE PROBLEM DURING THOSE 2 TIMES.
