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.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID IS MELTING!! THE MELTING IS CREATING A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT VERY HARD TO SEE AT TIMES. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH WILL YIELD YOU 100'S OF RESULTS OF THE SAME COMPLAINT FOR THIS MAKE/MODEL. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AS THEY HAVE CHANGED THE MATERIAL USED ON THE DASH. MY INQUIRIES TO TOYOTA CORP AND THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE ARE NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND I REALLY FEAR THAT THE VISIBILITY ISSUES CAN RESULT IN DEATH OR ACCIDENTS. CURRENTLY, THERE IS A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THEIR SISTER COMPANY, LEXUS, REGARDING THE RECALLING OF THEIR DASHBOARDS USING THE SAME EXACT MATERIAL. IT IS UNFAIR THAT TOYOTA CORP IS ONLY ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF THEIR LUXURY MODEL CAR OWNERS AND CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN. APRIL AT TOYOTA CORP TOLD ME TODAY THAT IT'S NOT A CRAFTMANSHIP ISSUE- IT'S THE CLIMATE IN WHICH I LIVE. THE NEGLIGENCE IN THIS MATTER IS SO APPARENT AND I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THEY ARE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS. THIS IS MY SECOND TIME DEALING WITH TOYOTA CORP ON THIS ISSUE. THE PREVIOUS TIME WAS IN SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 75 MPH GOING WB ON I-8 HEADING OUT OF TUCSON JULY 14, 2014. I STARTED TO SMELL A FAINT BURNING, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE SMELL BECAME MORE INTENSE AND SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL WAS FRYING. IT IS A VERY SPECIFIC SMELL. I THOUGHT FOR A SECOND THAT SOMETHING WAS HAPPENING IN MY STEERING WHEEL BUT THEN NOTICED SMOKE COMING UP THROUGH MY WINDOW CONTROL BUTTONS. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. THE SMOKING STOPPED. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND A COP WAITED WITH ME IN 105 DEGREE WEATHER. I WAS TOWED BACK TO TUCSON TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY OVER $500 TO REPAIR IT. I HAVE NOT DONE THAT BUT INSTEAD, I HAD THEM CUT POWER TO MY WINDOWS SO I CAN CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR IMMEDIATELY. I FEEL THAT THERE WAS DEFINITELY A POSSIBILITY OF FIRE BUT THANK GOODNESS THERE WASN'T. PLEASE REFERENCE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V491000 FROM OCTOBER FROM 2012.

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?
