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.

MY CAR HAS A STICKY DASHBOARD AND IT'S SLOWLY DETERIORATING. IN THE SUMMER TIME IT'S VERY STICKY AND EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT.

DASHBOARD PANEL GAUGES STARTED TO FLUCTUATE. THEY BOUNCE UP AND DOWN. ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON. AC STOPPED WORKING. I CALLED TO TOYOTA RECALL CENTER AND WAS DIRECTED TO GO TO A TOYOTA DEALER TO HAVE THE CAR INSPECTED IN MY OWN COST....... *TR

STARTED THE CAR AND NOTICED THE ABS AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHT WERE ON. TACHOMETER WAS JUMPING BETWEEN 0 AND 1000RPM. AIR CONDITIONER WASN'T WORKING. DROVE THE CAR A BIT WITH NO CHANGE EXCEPT THE TACHOMETER JUMPING A BIT HIGHER THAN 1 AND DROPPING BACK TO 0. SPEEDOMETER WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL. AFTER A BIT MORE DRIVING, THE ABS AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS TURNED OFF AND THE GAUGES RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. AIR CONDITIONER ALSO STARTED WORKING. SINCE THIS INITIAL PROBLEM, THE GAUGES AND LIGHTS HAVE BEEN OPERATING WITH THE SAME INCONSISTENCY (JUMPING TACHOMETER, SPEEDOMETER SITTING AT 0, ABS AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS ON).
Other or unspecified, Dec 20, 2014, crash
DASHBOARD OF THIS CAR HAS BEEN MELTED, WHICH ALSO GIVES TROUBLE IN VISIBILTY. AND I BELIEVE POOR VISIBILITY WAS THE REASON BEHIND A CRASH AT 2 WAY STOP SIGN. AND IT MAY CAUSE PROBLEM IN FUTURE AS WELL. IT REALLY NEED A RECALL. OR REPLACEMENT WITH REASONABLE COST.

THE STICKY AND MELTING DASHBOARD. THE DASH FEELS LIKE CLAY AND IS PLIABLE, IT CAN EASILY BE PEELED AWAY. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT WIPING IT DOWN WOULD HELP BUT IT SEEMS OVER TIME THE DASHBOARD CANNOT BE CLEANED, TOO STICKY. IT'S EXTREMELY ANNOYING BECAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY SO SHINY THAT WE GET A LOT OF GLARE ESPECIALLY ON A BRIGHT DAY. THIS IS BECOMING A REALLY BIG ISSUE BECAUSE IT REFLECTS ONTO THE WINDOW WHEN DRIVING, WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT/ISSUE THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO OWN UP TO AND FIX BEFORE SOMEONE GET SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY CAR GETS STICKY FROM THE HEAT AND CANNOT BE CLEANED OR TREATED. DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF DAY AND THE DIRECTION OF THE SUN IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD BECAUSE OF THE GLARE OFF OF THE GLOSSY/STICKY DASHBOARD. I THOUGHT THIS WAS UNIQUE TO ME UNTIL I PERFORMED AN INTERNET SEARCH. WHEN I CALLED THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN FORT WORTH, TX, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT. I THEN CONTACTED A TRIM SHOP WHO TOLD ME THAT THEY HEAR ABOUT IT ALL OF THE TIME. I THINK TOYOTA NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM SO THAT IT IS SAFE FOR MY FAMILY TO DRIVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND HELP IN FINDING A SOLUTION. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE HAS DASH BOARD MELTED WITH HEAT FROM SUN. THE PLASTIC COATING HAS TURNED INTO A STICKY GLUE LIKE SURFACE, IF I TOUCH THE SURFACE WITH HAND MY HAND GETS STUCK TO IT LIKE SUPER GLUE. FRONT DASH BOARD NOW REFLECT DIRECT LIGHT FROM SUN AND CREATES A VERY BRIGHT GLARE AND AFFECTS DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER VISIBILITY OF ROAD. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA COMPANY AND THEY DECLINED TO OFFER ANY HELP BECAUSE MY CAR IS MORE THEN 3 YEARS OLD AND IT HAS MORETHEN 36000 MILES ON IT.

MY CAR WAS PURCHASED USED IN 2009. I'VE KEPT UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE AND OTHER ISSUES SUCH AS THE ENGINE COILS GOING OUT. TODAY, MY CAR STOPPED AS I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET. NO, THERE WASN'T A CRASH BUT THERE COULD HAVE BEEN. THE CAR IS A 2007. LUCKILY I STOPPED IN FRONT OF THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. I FOUND OUT THAT MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. IT WENT OUT WITH NO WARNING PRIOR TO TODAY. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $4200 TO REPAIR. I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. I'M STILL SHOCKED THAT THE TRANSMISSION DIED. I PURCHASED A TOYOTA BECAUSE MY PREVIOUS CAR, A CHEVY, WAS GIVING ME SO MANY PROBLEMS. WHEN ASKED WHY WOULD IT JUST DIE WITHOUT WARNING...I WAS TOLD IT JUST DID. THERE'S NO WAY OF KNOWING. I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING THAT WHEN I GO FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE. *TR

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE VISOR FAILED ON ME WHEN I PUT IT DOWN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE SUN VISORS. THIS ISSUE CAN BE A POTENTIAL HAZARD AS IT OBSTRUCTS MY VIEW DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TO MOVE THE VISOR TO THE SIDE IN ORDER TO HAVE A FULL VIEW AHEAD. IF THE VISOR IS LEFT IN FRONT OF ME THEN IT IS HARD TO SEE TRAFFIC AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS IN FRONT OF ME AND CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. MY SON IN-LAW HAS A SIMILAR CAR AND RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA PROVIDING AN ADDITIONAL WARRANTY FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT IT WAS ONLY SPECIFIC TO HIS VIN NUMBER. IF THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WHY DO THEY NOT SEND IT OUT TO EVERYONE. *TR
Other or unspecified, Visibility/wiper, Sep 25, 2012
2007 MODEL YEAR TOYOTA CAMRYS WERE MANUFACTURED USING A DASHBOARD MATERIAL THAT DETERIORATES WITH EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT. SPECIFICALLY, THE PLASTIC BECOMES VERY SHINY, VERY TACKY, AND EASY TO DAMAGE. WHEN THE SUN ANGLE IS CORRECT, THE LIGHT REFLECTS OFF THE SHINY PLASTIC, AND THEN REFLECTS OFF THE WINDSHIELD INTO THE DRIVER'S EYES, PRODUCING A GLARE THAT REPRESENTS, IN MY OPINION, A SAFETY HAZARD. A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF PLASTIC IS ALSO BEING DEPOSITED DAILY ON THE WINDSHIELD INNER SURFACE, PRODUCING A WHITISH HAZE THAT REDUCES VISIBILITY AND INCREASES SCATTERED LIGHT. NUMEROUS TOYOTA CAMRY (AND SOME LEXUS) OWNERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM, PRIMARILY IN LOCATIONS THAT RECEIVE MORE SUNLIGHT (FLORIDA, TEXAS, PUERTO RICO, AND HAWAII, FOR EXAMPLE, AS AN INTERNET SEARCH CAN EASILY SHOW; TO SEE A VIDEO, SEARCH ON YOUTUBE FOR "TOYOTA CAMRY STICKY DASHBOARD"). SOME 2008 MODEL YEAR TOYOTA CAMRYS ARE BEGINNING TO SHOW THE SAME PROBLEM. NOTE THAT 2007 WAS THE FIRST YEAR OF THE REDESIGNED CAMRY MODEL. MUCH OLDER CAMRYS ARE NOT SHOWING THIS PROBLEM, THUS IT SEEMS CLEAR THAT TOYOTA SWITCHED TO A DIFFERENT DASHBOARD MATERIAL STARTING WITH THE 2007 MODEL YEAR, BUT ONLY NOW IS IT BECOMING CLEAR THAT THE CHOSEN MATERIAL IS INAPPROPRIATE FOR THE INTENDED USE. TOYOTA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR MONTHS, YET NO SAFETY RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED AS OF THIS WRITING. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. IT JUST HANGS DOWN IN THE WAY. IT WAS NOT DAMAGED IN ANY WAY THAT I CAN SEE. JUST NORMAL USE. WHEN DRIVING I HAVE TO EITER MOVE IT TO THE SIDE TO SEE. THIS HAS CAUSED SOME VISIBILITY PROBLEMS WHEN IT IS VERY BRIGHT OUTSIDE AND YOU ARE DRIVING INTO THE SUN.I HAD TO REMOVE IT AS IT WAS IMPEADING MY VISION DURING DRIVING. NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE ONE-HANDED IN ORDER TO SHIELD MY EYES FROM THE SUN. TOYOTA WILL NOT REPLACE AS A WARRANTIED ITEM. *TT
