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.

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.

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY; THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR HAS "POPPED" & BROKEN LOOSE FROM THE MOUNTING BRACKET, IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE VISOR WILL NOT REMAIN IN A STATIONARY POSITION, AND HANGS LOOSELY, IN LINE-OF-SIGHT FOR DRIVING. I HAD TO PHYSICALLY HOLD IT WITH ONE HAND IN ORDER TO SEE CLEARLY WHILE DRIVING IN MID-DAY TRAFFIC. WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION I DECIDED TO REMOVE THE VISOR ENTIRELY BECAUSE IT IS A DANGEROUS INTERFERENCE WHILE DRIVING. ON A SEARCH FOR A REPLACEMENT PART I FOUND A TOYOTA INTERNET FORUM, WHERE THIS IS FREQUENT COMPLAINT FOR 2007 AND 2008 CAMRY'S, SO IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW - ONE THAT CAN SERIOUSLY IMPAIR THE DRIVER'S FIELD OF VISION AND CAUSE A COLLISION. *TR

FIRST MY DRIVER SIDE VISOR STARTED TO GIVE ME PROBLEMS BY MAKING A POPPING SOUND WHICH DIDN'T LAST VERY LONG. EVENTUALLY THE VISOR COMPLETELY GAVE OUT BY FALLING DOWN IN MY FACE AND MY HEAD WHILE DRIVING. I HAD A HARD TIME KEEPING IT IN POSITION AND FIGURING OUT HOW I CAN USE THE VISOR TO BLOCK THE SUN. I HAD TO RIG THE VISOR WITH A SMALL BUNGEE CORD. I WAS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED AND EMBARRASSED BY THE CONTRAPTION TO HOLD THE VISOR IN PLACE AND THE FUNCTION OF THE VISOR. AFTER MONTHS OF FRUSTRATION AND EMBARRASSMENT I TOOK THE VISOR OUT. THEN SOON AFTER OF REMOVING THE VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE THE SAME THING STARTED TO HAPPEN ON THE PASSENGER VISOR. TALK ABOUT BEING HUMILIATED AND UPSET WITH TOYOTA. AS THIS WAS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH THE CAR FOR EX. RECENT RECALLS, BELTS REPLACED, THE COST TO HAVE MY IGNITION COILS REPLACED THEN NOT TO SOON AFTER THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. EXPENSIVE!!! I CONTACTED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TO INQUIRE ABOUT REPLACEMENT AND COST AND POSSIBILITY OF A RECALL ON THIS AFTER READING HOW MANY OTHER 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY OWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. I HAD NO LUCK WITH TOYOTA AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLACE DUE TO COSTS. I JUST DEAL WITH THE SUN IN MY EYES WHILE DRIVING. *KB

DRIVER SIDE VISOR HAS FAILED. AT FIRST IT WAS JUST A BIT LOOSE SO I DIDN'T REALLY MIND. NOW IT HAS FALLEN ALMOST COMPLETELY DOWN AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. NORMAL WEAR MIGHT HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED EXCEPT MY CAR IS ONLY 4 YRS OLD AND I RARELY USE THE VISOR. AFTER SOME SEARCHING I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. MY VISOR BLOCKS MY VIEW OF THE FRONT ROAD AND ALSO PART OF MY REARVIEW MIRROR. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS QUOTED $134 PARTS NOT INCLUDING LABOR. I AM NOT ABLE TO AFFORD THIS EXPENSE AT THE MOMENT SO I AM GOING TO HAVE TO REMOVE THE VISOR.

RECENTLY THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE. IT BEGAN TO SLOWLY COME DOWN AND HANG IN FRONT OF ME AS IF I HAD PULLED IT DOWN TO BLOCK THE SUN. IF I PUSH IT BACK UP IT JUST COMES RIGHT BACK DOWN. I'M NOT ABLE TO PUSH IT TOWARD THE WINDSHIELD TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY EITHER. IT JUST FALLS BACK DOWN. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD CONSIDERING I CANNOT SEE THE STOPLIGHTS WHEN THE VISOR IS IN THE WAY. ALSO IT CAUSED ME TO ALMOST REAR-END ANOTHER VEHICLE. I COULD REMOVE THE VISOR SO THAT I COULD SEE BETTER, BUT THIS WOULD CAUSE ME TO BE BLINDED BY THE SUN. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND SEVERAL SITES WHERE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND TRIED CALLING THE DEALERSHIPS TO GET THIS FIXED JUST AS THEY HAVE. BUT THE DEALERS WANT OVER $100 TO FIX THIS ISSUE. CONSIDERING THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH JUST ONE OR TWO TOYOTA CAMRY OWNERS, TOYOTA SHOULD NOT ALLOW THIS ISSUE TO GO ON ANY LONGER.
