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.

THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SENSOR IS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED ON MY DASH BOARD, DESPITE HAVING CORRECT PRESSURE IN ALL TIRES ON THE CAR INCLUDING THE SPARE. IT IS A DISTRACTION. TOOK MY CAR TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEAL AND THEY INFORM ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS TRACED TO MALFUNCTIONING TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS. GIVEN THE RECALLS ON TOYOTA CARS/TRUCKS ON CALIBRATION PROBLEMS WITH TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS AND THE FACT THAT TOYOTA MANUFACTURES COMMON PARTS FOR ALL VEHICLES SUCH AS THESE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS, I BELIEVE THEY ARE DEFECTIVE PARTS. MY VEHICLE IS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH A V-6 ENGINE MANUFACTURED IN APRIL 2007. FURTHER COMPOUNDING THE PROBLEM IS THAT TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE ATTRIBUTE FAULT TO THE US GOVERNMENT SAYING, "IT'S A GOVERNMENT MANDATE FOR US TO HAVE THESE SENSORS ON OUR CARS". RIDICULOUS. *TR

MY SUSPICION IS THAT IT WAS POORLY CONSTRUCTED SINCE MY 1998 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS HAD NO SUN VISOR ISSUES AFTER 13 YEARS OF WEAR AND TEAR. LUCKILY I NOTICED PROBLEM AND DID NOT START DRIVING IMMEDIATELY. I HAD TO USE MY LEFT ARM TO HOLD THE SUN VISOR UP FOR MY DRIVE BACK HOME. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE AS THIS CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE SIGNIFICANT VISIBILITY ISSUES AND LEAD TO ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS.
