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 HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT IS BLINKING AND THE CAR IS MAKING NOISE THE OIL HAS BEEN CHARGED OVER A 10 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT FOR A YEAR & BOUGHT FROM A DEALER I GOT IT LOOK AT BY TOYOTA FOR THEM TO TELL ME I NEED A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE MY OIL PUMP IS GOING OUT AND ROD-MAIN BEARINGS IN THE ENGINE ARE BAD THE FUEL INJECTORS. ARE GOING OUT CANT RUN MY A.C BECAUSE IT MAKES MY CAR TURN OFF I MEAN COME ON.

I BOUGHT MY 2007 CAMRY IN 2006 AND IT HAS BEEN GREAT TILL THE LAST 6 MONTHS WHEN THE DASH BOARD STARTED TO GET STICKY AND IS NOW FULLY STICKY AND GLOSSY TO THE POINT WHERE THE SUN REFLECTS OFF IT AND IS BLINDING. TOYOTA SAID THEY HAD A RECALL WHICH I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THE ADDRESS WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR IS THE SAME IN MY DRIVER'S LICENSE AND I NEVER CHANGED IT. I LIVE IN BUENA PARK SINCE 1991 AND MY DRIVERS LICENSE HAS THAT ADDRESS SINCE I WAS 18 (18 YEARS AGO). I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THE RECALL NEEDED AND ITS. OT THEIR CONCERN. I FIND IT IRRESPONSIBLE THAT TOYOTA TAKES NO ACTION FOR FAULTY MANUFACTURING OF THEIR PRODUCTS AND SHIFTS THE FAULT TO THE CONSUMER WHEN I HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS ANY ISSUES. SECONDLY WHEN THEY HAD THE GAS PEDAL RECALL I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR MAINTENANCE AND WHEN I GOT IT BACK THEY CUT THE PEDAL WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE AND SAID A REPLACEMENT WAS ON BACK ORDER. I HAVE SINCE 2010 REQUESTED THE REPLACEMENT TILL 2011 AND THEY ALWAYS SAID IT IN BACK ORDER. I GAVE UP ASKING BECAUSE I GOT EXCUSES. WHEN I'M DRIVING MY FOOT SLIPS OFF THE GAS PEDAL BECAUSE ITS SHORTER. ITS HAZARDOUS WHEN YOUR MAKING A TURN AND THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION AND YOU HAVE TO QUICKLY HIT THE GAS AGAIN. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN THE ROAD IS SLIPPERY IN A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA WITH THESE CONCERNS AND ALL THEY SAY IS THAT THERE ISNT ANYTHING THEY CAN DO.

OVER TIME, MY DASHBOARD HAS MELTED AND HAS BECOME STICKY. I HAVE TRIED MY BEST TO DEAL WITH IT, BUT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT CAUSES A REFLECTION OF MY DASHBOARD ON MY DRIVER'S WINDOW, MAKING IT HARD TO SEE WHEN I AM DRIVING (ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS SUNNY...AND I LIVE IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA...WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME IT IS SUNNY.) I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY CLAIM TO HAVE SENT OUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE. THEY CLAIM THEY CAN'T FIX IT ANYMORE BECAUSE OF AN EXPIRED WARRANTY (WHICH I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF...IF I WAS, I WOULD'VE FIXED IT ASAP). IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE DUE TO THEIR FAULTY MANUFACTURING.
Other or unspecified, Engine, Feb 19, 2019
THERE IS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE AND TOYOTA IS SAYING IT IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUE, THAT HAS EXPIRED AND THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE TO FIX IT AND PAY FOR IT ALL OUT OF POCKET. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL NOT A WARANTY ISSUE. IT'S NOT FAIR OR RIGHT AND THEY SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTION ISSUES THAT ARE FLAWED. THIS IS A SAFTEY ISSUE BECAUSE THE LIGHT DOESN'T EVEN COME ON WHEN IT IS LOW, SO IF I DON'T CHECK OFTEN THEN I AM IN DANGER WHEN I AM DRIVING. I BOUGHT THE CAR TO DRIVE, NOT TO BECOME A MECHANIC.

SO IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY MY WINDSHIELD THAT HAD NO CHIPS AND WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION. AND PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. I WAS SITTING IN MY CAR ABOUT TO GET OUT WHEN I WATCHED THE WINDSHIELD CRACK BY ITSELF INDEPENDENTLY NOTHING HITTING IT NO CHIPS OR IMPERFECTIONS TO MAKE IT CRACK NO SOUNDS NOTHING IT STARTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN A SPIDERWEB FASHION AND CRACKED ALL THE WAY ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD AND KEEPS CONTINUING TO SPIDERWEB ACROSS THE ENTIRE WINDSHILD THERE WAS NO CHIPS INITIALLY NOTHING HIT IT NO PRESSURE AFTER TALKING TO SEVERAL PROFESSIONALS THEY ALSO CAN NOT SEE A REASON FOR THE CRACKED WINDSHIELD STATES IT LOOKS LIKE IT CRACKED FROM THE CENTER OUT.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER WHO REGISTERED IT AND GAVE ME PAPERWORK LISTING MY ADDRESS ON ALL OF THE FORMS. I JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM FOR THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR DEFECT. I HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH IT FOR A FEW YEARS BUT SINCE I RARELY DRIVE DURING THE DAYTIME IT WASN'T AN ISSUE UNTIL MY SHIFT CHANGED. SO NOW IT'S BROKEN AND TODAY, YEARS LATER, TOYOTA TELLS ME THAT THE WARRANTY INFORMATION WAS SENT TO AN ADDRESS OTHER THAN THE ONE I HAVE LIVED SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR. SINCE I DIDN'T REGISTER THE CAR AND ALL OF MY PAPERWORK HAD MY THEN AND STILL ADDRESS ON IT, I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD HONOR THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY SENT IT TO AN ADDRESS THAT WASN'T MINE. THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME THE ADDRESS BUT REFERRED ME TO MY STATE' DMV, WHO ALSO WILL NOT GIVE ME THIS PHANTOM ADDRESS WHERE MY INFO WAS SENT. COLONIAL TOYOTA REGISTERED THE CAR FOR ME SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT MISTAKES WERE MADE IN THE REGISTRATION PROCESS AND NO WAY OF GETTING THE INFORMATION. TOYOTA IS DOING WHAT ALL BIG COMPANIES DO, PASS THE MISTAKES THEY MADE TO THE CONSUMER. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM ATOYOTA DEALER EVER AGAIN.

I HAD TAKEN MY CAR TO A DEALERSHIP TO GET MY BRAKES AND ROTORS CHANGED ,AROUND SEPTEMBER OF 2018, ABOUT A WEEK LATER THE TRACTION LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHENEVER I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES . I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE PLACE WHERE I HAD GOTTEN THE BRAKES DONE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. I FINALLY TOOK MY CAR TO ANOTHER MECHANIC, SO THEY COULD DIAGNOSE THE CAR , WHEN I GOT BACK MY CAR, THE VSC, TRACTION ,AND BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS THE ABS MODULE.

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS DEVELOPED A SHINY,STICKY DASHBOARD. NOT ONLY IS IT STICKY BUT IT BECAUSE IT IS SO SHINY IT PRODUCES A GLARE SO SEEING THE ROAD BECOMES MORE DIFFICULT. THIS GLARE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. I CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT EXCEPT REPLACE THE DASHBOARD AT MY EXPENSE. THEY STATED A FEW YEARS AGO THERE WAS A PROGRAM TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARDS AS THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED BUT SINCE MY PROBLEM HAPPENED AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED I WAS OUT OF LUCK. WHY DIDN'T I GET NOTIFIED OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY OR THE ISSUE WITH THE DASHBOARD? I HAVE HAD THIS CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW SO THEY HAD ALL OF MY INFORMATION IN THEIR DATABASE AND CONTACTING ME WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY EASY. I WAS GOING TO PASS THIS CAR DOWN TO MY DAUGHTER THAT JUST GOT HER LICENSE, BUT I AM HESITANT TO LET HER DRIVE THE CAR AS THE GLARE MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I DON'T WANT TO PUT MY DAUGHTER IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE.

MY TOYOTA DID NOT EXHIBIT THE STICKY DASHBOARD UNTIL JUNE OF 2017. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL ONLY WENT UNTIL MAY 0F 2017 AND WAS REFUSED BY TOYOTA. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT WAS A DEFINITE FACTORY DEFECT AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED. NOW I HAVE THIS CONTINOUS GLARE WHICH AFFECTS BOTH DAY AND NIGHT VISABILITY.

I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE CAR. THIS CAR HAS A DASHBOARD PROBLEM THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE ACCIDENTS. ITS DASHBOARD IS BECOMING STICKY, SMELLY AND SHINY AS A MIRROR. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DEVELOPING FOR YEARS AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. WHEN I CALL A TOYOTA DEALER ABOUT 3-4 YEARS AGO TO ASK WHETHER THERE WAS A RECALL OR OTHER SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THEY COULD DO NOTHING. THIS YEAR, THE PROBLEM IS BECOMING SEVERE SINCE THE SHINY DASHBOARD OFTEN BLINDS MY EYES AND I ALMOST HIT A WALKER. I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND TONS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINS AND SOME LUCKY COSTUMERS GOT FREE REPLACEMENT. SO, I CALLED THE SAME DEALER AGAIN ASKING ABOUT THE POLICY. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL SEVERAL YEARS AGO, BUT IT EXPIRED TWO YEARS AGO, SO THEY COULD DO NOTHING. THIS ANSWER IS RIDICULOUS CONSIDERING I CALLED THEM BEFORE. I THEN CALL THE HEADQUARTER. THE OPERATOR TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT A RECALL, BUT AN EXTENDED 10-YEAR WARRANTEE. SINCE MY CAR HAS BEEN MORE THAN TEN YEARS, TOYOTA WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DASHBOARD UNLESS I HAVE WRITTEN EVIDENCE THAT I CONTACTED TOYOTA BEFORE ABOUT THE DASHBOARD. MY COMPLAINS ARE AS FOLLOWS: (1)THIS DASHBOARD PROBLEM SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE IT CAN CAUSE DANGEROUS ACCIDENTS. AS MENTIONED, THE SPECULAR REFLECTION FROM THE SHINY DASHBOARD CAN BLIND THE DRIVERS AND MAKE THE DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS. TOYOTA MUST HAVE KNOWN THIS PROBLEM A LONG TIME AGO AND SHOULD NOTICE ALL COSTUMERS TO CHANGE THE DASHBOARD FOR FREE, INSTEAD OF FINDING EXCUSES TO REJECT MOST UNLUCKY CUSTOMERS. TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE AND CARE ABOUT ITS CUSTOMERS' LIVES. (2)TOYOTA SHOULDN'T PUT THE BURDEN OF PROVIDING EVIDENCE ONLY ON COSTUMERS. THE REQUEST OF WRITTEN EVIDENCE THAT I CONTACTED THE DEALER BEFORE IS RIDICULOUS. THE FACT THAT THE DEALER FAILED TO PROVIDE ME A RIGHT SUGGESTION/SOLUTION BECOMES MY FAULT.

ON MONDAY JULY 30TH, I TOOK MY 2008 TOYOTA SOLARA CONVERTIBLE INTO HILAND TOYOTA'S DEALERSHIP IN MOLINE, ILLINOIS AND DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM OF THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD THAT IS CURRENTLY MELTING IN MY CAR. I HAVE NOTICED THIS STARTING TO OCCUR SINCE JULY 16TH, 2018 WHEN I WAS MAKING A TURN AND MY FINGERNAIL GOT CAUGHT WITHIN THE DASHBOARD. I AM ALSO BLINDED BY THE REFLECTIONS ON THE WINDSHIELD CAUSED BY THE STICKY DASHBOARD AND IT'S CREATING A FILM ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH, EVEN WITH MULTIPLE CLEANINGS. HILAND TOYOTA OBSERVED THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE SINCE IT WAS AFTER THE MAY 31ST, 2017 EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAVE ALSO ATTACHED PICTURES OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT IS FILMED UP AFTER CLEANING IT THE DAY BEFORE, AND OF THE FINGERNAIL PRINT. THIS PROBLEM HAS AFFECTED NUMEROUS TOYOTA AND LEXUS OWNERS AND TOYOTA HAS NOT DONE MUCH ABOUT THIS ISSUE. EVEN WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY OF MAY 31ST, 2017, MULTIPLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS HAVE MENTIONED THAT TOYOTA DOESN'T HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS AND SAID OWNERS ARE WAITING YEARS AFTER FIRST CONTACT TO GET REPAIRS STARTED. IN MY CASE, I CONTACTED TOYOTA (FILE NUMBER #1808222394) ABOUT FIXING THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD AND THEY RESPONDED THAT AFTER MAY 31ST, 2017, THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS THE FIRST TOYOTA THAT I HAVE PURCHASED, HOWEVER, THIS DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD IS MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR AND MANY OTHERS AGREE, RESULTING IN LEGAL CONSEQUENCES. I AM CURRENTLY FILLING OUT A COMPLAINT WITH THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION, IN CASE SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN. I AM ALSO APPALLED THAT A COMPANY THAT REGARDS ITSELF AS A 'LEADER' IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY CAN LET PEOPLE WALK OFF THEIR DEALERSHIP DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR THAT THEY ENGINEERED, PRODUCED, AND OBVIOUSLY DON'T STAND BEHIND.
