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.

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.

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.

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 WENT TO "CHAMPION TOYOTA HOUSTON, TX 77034" FOR RECALL PROBLEM ON MARCH 19TH. THE SERVICE ADVISOR NAMED JACY BLAIR SIGNED ME ON AND GAVE ME AN APPOINMENT FOR NEXT DAY MORNING( 9:00 AM I GUESS). WHILE I WAS THERE, I FEEL LIKE CHECKING MY BREAKS TOO SO I ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISOR ABOUT THAT AND SHE CALLED HER TECHNICIAN. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED ME TO FIX MY BREAKS RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE ITS SEFTY PROBLEM AND ADVISE ME TO LEAVE MY CAR THERE FOR THAT DAY COS THEY HAVE TO FIX "RECALL THING" TOO. I AGGRED AND REMIND HIM NOT TO FORGET ABOUT " RECALL THING" AGAIN BEFORE I LEFT. NEXT DAY THEY CALLED ME AND LEFT A MASSAGE IN MY PHONE THAT MY CAR IS READY . I WENT THERE AND PAID $ 480.00 FOR FIXING THE BREAKS AND DROVE BACK HOME. WHEN I LOOK AT THE INVOICE AT HOME I DIDN'T SEE ANY THING WRITTEN ABOUT " RECALL THING" SO I CALLED THEM BACK AND TALKED WITH JACY AGAIN AND FOUND OUT THAT THEY GAVE ME THE CAR WITHOUT FIXING THE "RECALL THING". I WAS BIT OF ANGRY AND I ASKED HER TO PICK MY CAR FROM HOME, FIX IT AND RETURN TO ME. SHE SAID THAT HER SENIOR MANAGER GONNA GIVE ME A CALL WITHIN FIFTEEN MIN. AND HANG UP THE PHONE. I WAITED FOR 1\2 HOUR BUT NO ONE CALLED ME SO I CALLED HER AGAIN AND SHE TRANSFER THE PHONE TO OTHER GUY ( 10 MIN. WIAT) WHO DIDN'T WANT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND TRANSFER TO ANOTHER GUY ( 20 MIN WAIT ). THE LAST PERSON WAS NICE AND ACCEPTED THE MISTAKE AND AGREED TO PICK UP MY CAR AT HOME NEXT SATURDAY AND FIX IT. HE CALLED ME AGAIN LAST FRIDAY TO VERIFY MY ADDRESS AND TOLD ME SOMEONE WILL BE THERE FROM TOYOTA NEXT MORNING FROM 9 TO 10 AM TO PICK UP MY CAR. I WAITED WHOLE DAY THAT DAY BUT NO ONE CAME OR ANY PHONE CALL. NOW, WHAT SHOULD I DO? GO BACK THERE EVEN AFTER BEING INSULTED TWICE OR DRIVE MY CAR AS IT IS? I FEEL LIKE TOYOTA IS USING THIS " RECALL THING" AS A GROCERY STORE SUNDAY COUPON, WHERE YOU GO FOR SHOPPING TO SAVE LITTLE MONEY BUT END UP SPENDING MORE. IN MY CASE I RETURNED EMPTY HANDED EVEN AFTER SPENDIING MONEY.

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE -- I SAW SOMETHING ON TV THAT THERE MAY BE IN AN ISSUE WITH POWER GRIDS/ELECTRO MAGNETIC FIELDS AND THE NEWER CAMRY'S. MY WIFE HAS A 2007 CAMRY AND THERE IS FULL BLOCK IN DOWNTOWN TAMPA (NEXT TO TECO OUR HQ FOR POWER IN TAMPA) THAT HER PUSH-BUTTON START WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT WORK. INITIALLY, I THOUGHT IT WAS A BATTERY ISSUE WITH THE RESPONDER AND REPLACED IT. THE PUSH BUTTON START WORKED EVERYWHERE EXCEPT NEXT TO THIS GRID AND IS STILL AN ISSUE -- WE HAVE TO PARK ONE BLOCK AWAY TO GO TO THAT AREA. ALTHOUGH, THERE ARE NO DIRECT SAFETY ISSUES WITH THIS ISSUE IT MAY BE GOOD INFORMATION FOR YOUR OVERALL STUDY. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THERE PREVENTING HER CAR TO WORK CORRECTLY. OTHER VEHICLES IN THIS SAME AREA HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID, AFTER OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 8-10 MONTHS THE CARS BRAKES WOULD MOMENTARILY RELEASE WHILE BRAKING. THIS OCCURED AT LOW SPEED 20-25 MPH, SLOWING DOWN GRADUALLY AND CROSSING UNEVEN PAVEMENT. IT OCCURED ONCE AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE INCIDENT AND GAVE IT NO THOUGHT, HOWEVER, IT WAS UNUSUAL. I NOW HAVE OVER 35,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND THIS HAS OCCURED AT LEAST FOUR TIMES OVER THE LAST 12 MONTHS. IT IS DURING GRADUAL STOPS WITH LOW BRAKING PRESSURE AND GOING OVER A SMALL BUMP. I TRAVEL THE SAME ROUTE TO WORK AND MY 2005 DODGE RAM AND 2006 TOYOTA 4RUNNER HAVE NOT HAD ANY SIMILIAR PROBLEMS OR OCCURENCES IN THIS AREA. THE CONDITION OCCURS WHEN GOING OVER A SMALL UNDULATION IN THE PAVEMENT AND LIGHTLY APPLY THE BRAKES TO BEGIN SLOWING THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKES RELEASE FOR A FRACTION OF A SECOND EVEN WITH CONSITENT BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE. I TOOK MY CAR TO OUR LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY, 3-25-2010 AND I ADVISED THEM OF THIS CONDITION, THEY ADVISED IT WAS A TIRE LEAVING CONTACT WITH THE PAVEMENT AND IT WAS THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. I ADVISED THEM THE SPEED AND PAVEMENT CONDITION DID NOT WARRANT THAT AND SOMETHING ELSE WAS OCCURING, THE ANTLOCK BRAKE INDICATOR DOES NOT COME ON DURING THIS OCCURENCE. THE DOCUMENTATION FROM THE DEALERSHIP SHOWS UNDER COMMENTS 16TOZ BRAKES, THAN DELETED OPERATIONS. I NOTICED A SECOND SHEET AND I REQUESTED A COPY, IT HAS THE NOTES FROM THE SERVICE TECH WHO CHECKED PAD THICKNESS, BRAKE ROTORS AND FLUID, HOWEVER NOTHING ABOUT CHECKING THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT DOCUMENT MY COMPLAINT, NOR DID THEY EVALUATE THE POTENTIAL AREA OF PROBLEM, THE ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ATTEMPT BY THE DEALERSHIP TO AVOID HAVING TO REPORT THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT TO THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, DUE TO THE RECENT CIRCUMSTANCES OF TOYOTA. IF THIS HAPPENED TO ME, WHAT ABOUT THE HUNDREDS OF OTHER DEALERSHIPS ACROSS THE NATION IF THEY DO THE SAME.

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. MY CAMRY HAS ACCELERATED ON MANY OCCASIONS, HUNDREDS OF TIME, OFTEN TIMES, DAILY. IT HAS NEVER CAUSED AN OVERRIDE PROBLEM, BUT THE RPMS DO GO UP IMMENSELY. IT IS NOT THE GAS PEDAL, I CAN ASSURE YOU, BECAUSE I KEEP MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL TO SEE IF THAT IS THE PROBLEM. MY BROTHER IN LAW, A CAR MECHANIC GURU ASSURED ME IT WAS THE NEW MOTOR SYNCHRONIZATION, SO I NEVER REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO MY LOCAL DEALER. I HAD A 2005 CAMRY, THIS NEVER HAPPENED TO THAT VEHICLE. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AN ACCIDENT, BUT ALMOST DAILY, IT DOES ACCELERATE. THESE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM, IT IS REAL, AS FAR AS TAKING OVER THEIR VEHICLE, COULD BE. *TR
