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.

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.

CERTAIN ALL WEATHER FLOOR MATS (AWFM) SPECIFICALLY SOLD AS AN OPTIONAL ACCESSORY FOR USE ON THE 2007 AND 2008 MODEL YEAR LEXUS ES350 AND TOYOTA CAMRY VEHICLES. 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.
TOYOTA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS OF ALL 2007 AND 2008 LEXUS ES350 AND TOYOTA CAMRY VEHICLES ABOUT THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH NOT ALL OF THESE OWNERS WILL HAVE PURCHASED THE ALL WEATHER MATS. IF THE OWNER HAD NOT PURCHASED THE MATS, THEY ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL.

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.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM SHEEHY NISSAN ON SEPT. 25, 2010, WITH 89,720 MILES, ONE PREVIOUS OWNER AND NO ACCIDENTS/DAMAGE REPORTED TO CARFAX, AFTER HAVING A STATE INSPECTION DONE OF ALL MAJOR SYSTEMS. I HAVE THE OIL CHANGED AT REGULAR INTERVALS (MOST RECENTLY, SEPT. 23, 2011 AT 110,990 MILES) AND HAD 100K MILE SERVICING DONE ON JULY 19, 2011. THE ENGINE FAILED DURING A DRIVE TO NEW YORK. CLIMBING THE BRIDGE OUT OF DELAWARE, THE RPMS ABNORMALLY INCREASED. I SAW THE OIL LIGHT ILLUMINATE, TURNED OFF THE RADIO, OPENED THE WINDOW AND HEARD THE ENGINE MAKING LOUD NOISES. I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER ON THE APPROACH TO THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE. WHEN THE CAR CAME TO A STOP, THE ENGINE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE REMAINED AT THE MID-WAY POINT, BUT A GREASY FILM COVERED THE BACK BUMPER. AAA TOWED IT BACK TO MY SHOP, WHERE MECHANICS SAID THEY COULD NOT GET THE ENGINE TO TURN. THEY SAID THE OIL PUMP HAD FAILED. OIL WAS IN THE ENGINE BUT WASN'T CIRCULATING, AND THEY FOUND FRESH OIL AND METAL SHAVINGS IN THE PAN. I PAID $3,819 FOR A COMPLETE ENGINE REBUILD FOR A FOUR-YEAR OLD CAR. SEARCHING THE INTERNET AND THIS WEBSITE, I SEE A NUMBER OF OWNERS OF 2007 TOYOTA CAMRYS HIGHLIGHTING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR'S ENGINE, INCLUDING SLUDGE BUILD UP. I HAVE RECEIVED NO INFORMATION FROM THE DEALER ABOUT RECALLS. THE USED CAR WARRANTY COVERED THE ENGINE BUT ITS DURATION WAS 30 DAYS OR 1K MILES, WHICHEVER CAME FIRST. IN ADDITION, THE SUN VISOR ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE CONTINUALLY SLIPS, OBSCURING THE VIEW OF TRAFFIC ON THE RIGHT, AND WILL NOT REMAIN IN PLACE - A PROBLEM I SEE OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE REPORT. I DON'T SEE A PLACE TO ENTER THIS, BUT THERE WERE NO INJURIES OR DEATHS BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC WHILE THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. *KB

I CAN ONLY SEE IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT DOES THIS AND REQUIRES ME TO DUCK DOWN QUICKLY TO TRY TO SEE WHILE TRYING TO MOVE THE VISOR AWAY AT THE SAME TIME.

THIS IS ALSO DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, I'M HAVING TO LEAN OVER OR BEND DOWN TO SEE AROUND THE UNUSABLE VISOR. I CALLED TOYOTA TO SEE IF IT WAS COVERED IN MY WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD "NO" BECASUE A SUN VISOR IS CONSIDERED A TRIM.
