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.

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.

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.

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.

MY HUSBAND AND I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WHICH WE PURCHASED IN 2007 FROM MIKE ERDMAN TOYOTA IN MERRITT ISLAND, FL. IN 2009, WHILE CLEANING THE DASHBOARD WITH A DAMP CLOTH WITH WATER, I NOTICED THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD WAS GUMMY AND STICKY. I GOOGLED INFORMATION ON THIS IN 2009, BUT THERE WASN'T A LOT OF INFORMATION ON IT BACK THEN. SINCE THEN, MY DASHBOARD HAD GOTTEN WORSE AND THERE IS A GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD THAT MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. ON APRIL 17, 2014, I CALLED MIKE ERDMAN TOYOTA WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR AND THE SERVICE AREA REPRESENTATIVE, [XXX] TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY WERE INFORMED BY TOYOTA THAT ONLY CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE BEEN "LOYAL" CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE HAD THEIR MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE WORK DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP WOULD HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. I WAS APPALLED THAT SHE WOULD SAY THAT TO ME. I TOLD HER THAT I GO WHERE I WANT TO GO TO GET MY CAR SERVICED AND I FELT THAT WHAT SHE JUST SAID TO ME WAS LIKE BLACKMAIL. I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH A MANAGER BUT SHE SAID SHE WOULD TALK TO HIM. SHE CALLED ME BACK THE SAME DAY AND SAID THE MANAGER WOULD GIVE ME AN ANSWER TOMORROW (4/18/14). BY 5:00 ON 4/18/14 WHEN I DIDN'T GET A CALL BACK, I CALLED [XXX]. SHE SAID HER BOSS SAID THE COST OF THE JOB WOULD BE $1,652. AND THAT THEY WOULD GIVE ME 20% OFF ($330.). I SAID WHY WOULD I HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR A DEFECTIVE PART? SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS DEFECTIVE. I SAID IT IS. ALL SHE HAD TO DO IS GOOGLE TOYOTA CAMRY STICKY DASHBOARDS AND SHE WILL COME UP WITH A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. SHE SAID SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING SHE READS ON THE INTERNET. SHE ADMITTED TO ME THE DAY BEFORE THAT THERE WAS INDEED A PROBLEM. I INFORMED HER I WAS GOING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH TOYOTA AND SHE SAID "FINE". INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

OVER THE PAST COUPLE YEARS I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE DASH ON MY 2007 CAMRY HAS STARTED TO CHANGE. IT HAS BECOME STICKY AND IS STARTING TO PEEL AWAY FROM THE UNDERLYING FOAM. IT APPEARS TO BE WORSE ON THE UPPER PORTION OF THE DASH WHERE THE SUN/HEAT WOULD SHINE. WHEN I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS ISSUE AT MY LAST SERVICE THEY SAID THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT I MUST HAVE USED A CHEMICAL TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM THAT I HAD DONE SOME RESEARCH ABOUT THIS AND THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR/MODEL. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD NEED A NEW DASH. IT WOULD TAKE A DAY AND A HALF TO INSTALL AND COST JUST UNDER $2100. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW DECEMBER 2006.

CURRENTLY, I OWN TWO TOYOTAS AND IN THE PAST WAS A LOYAL CUSTOMER. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN MY 2007 CAMRY IN JANUARY AND SUDDENLY MY SUN VISOR DROPPED DOWN TEMPORARILY BLINDING ME. I TRIED TO GET IT TO GO BACK UP, BUT IT KEPT DROPPING DOWN WHILE I WAS IN TRAFFIC. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH ONE HAND HOLDING THE VISOR AND THE OTHER ON THE STEERING WHEEL. CLEARLY, AS THIS WAS A MASS PRODUCED VEHICLE, I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS ISSUE. SO, I CALLED THE NEW TOYOTA OF CLERMONT DEALERSHIP JUST A FEW BLOCKS FROM MY HOME. I ASKED FOR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY ASKED FOR MY VIN NUMBER AND THEN INFORMED ME THAT THERE WERE TWO RECALLS, BUT NOTHING THAT COVERED THE BROKEN VISOR. I WAS VERY SURPRISED AS THE VISOR WAS FAR MORE DANGEROUS THAN EITHER OF THE OTHER ISSUES. ON FRIDAY 2/28/14, I FOUND ONLINE THAT THERE WERE A TON OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SUN VISOR AND THAT THERE WAS A "WARRANTY EXTENSION" FOR 2007 CAMRYS. I TOOK MY CAMRY OVER TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED BY DAVID THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT I HAD MISSED THE "WARRANTY EXTENSION" BY TWO WEEKS. WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT THEY HAD MISLED ME BY TELLING ME THAT THE VISOR WAS NOT COVERED WEEKS AGO, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE SERVICE RECEPTIONIST WAS NOT TRAINED ON WARRANTY EXTENSIONS, ONLY ON RECALLS. I CALLED THE 800-GOTOYOTA LINE AND RECEIVED NO SUPPORT. FIRST OF ALL TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE MADE THIS A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS DEFINITELY A PASSENGER SAFETY ISSUE. IT LITERALLY RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNDRIVEABLE. THEY USED DECEPTION IN MAKING IT A WARRANTY EXTENSION. IS THIS HOW THEY MAINTAIN A HIGH RATING FOR QUALITY. IS THIS HOW THE LIMIT THE COST OF RECALLS?

ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED THAT PARTS OF THE DASHBOARD WERE BEGINNING TO PEEL OFF. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS DUE TO THE HEAT AND TO NOT TOUCH IT. OVER THE LAST FOUR MONTHS THE PEELING ON THE DASHBOARD HAS GROWN WORSE.THE DASHBOARD NOW LOOKS SHINY AS IF OIL HAS BEEN APPLIED TO THE SURFACE. WHEN TOUCHED IT FEELS STICKY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO THE HIGH TEMPERATURE IN FLORIDA, AND THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX IT, BECAUSE MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA MODELS MANUFACTURE BETWEEN 2007 AND 2010 YET THEY NEVER DID A RECALL FOR THIS FACTORY DEFECT. I TALKED TO CORPORATE AND THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY HALF. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS FAIR AS IT IS NOT MY FAULT THAT TOYOTA USED LOW QUALITY MATERIAL THAT HAS BEEN UNABLE TO WITHSTAND HEAT IN FLORIDA.
