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. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON FEBRUARY 5, 2010 AND WILL BE COMPLETED ON MARCH 15, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331.

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.

Air bagsApr 3, 2006
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, DUE TO IMPROPER ASSEMBLY OF THE AIR BAG INFLATOR, WHICH IS USED IN THE SIDE AIR BAG, THE CURTAIN SHIELD AIR BAG, AND THE KNEE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY, SOME INFLATORS WERE PRODUCED WITH AN INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF THE HEATING AGENTS NECESSARY FOR PROPER AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. 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.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SPECIFIC SRS AIR BAG. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 6, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-888-270-9371, SCION AT 1-866-548-1851, OR LEXUS AT 1-800-255-3987.

ON MONDAY JULY 30TH, I TOOK MY 2008 TOYOTA SOLARA CONVERTIBLE INTO HILAND TOYOTA'S DEALERSHIP IN MOLINE, ILLINOIS AND DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM OF THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD THAT IS CURRENTLY MELTING IN MY CAR. I HAVE NOTICED THIS STARTING TO OCCUR SINCE JULY 16TH, 2018 WHEN I WAS MAKING A TURN AND MY FINGERNAIL GOT CAUGHT WITHIN THE DASHBOARD. I AM ALSO BLINDED BY THE REFLECTIONS ON THE WINDSHIELD CAUSED BY THE STICKY DASHBOARD AND IT'S CREATING A FILM ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH, EVEN WITH MULTIPLE CLEANINGS. HILAND TOYOTA OBSERVED THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE SINCE IT WAS AFTER THE MAY 31ST, 2017 EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAVE ALSO ATTACHED PICTURES OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT IS FILMED UP AFTER CLEANING IT THE DAY BEFORE, AND OF THE FINGERNAIL PRINT. THIS PROBLEM HAS AFFECTED NUMEROUS TOYOTA AND LEXUS OWNERS AND TOYOTA HAS NOT DONE MUCH ABOUT THIS ISSUE. EVEN WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY OF MAY 31ST, 2017, MULTIPLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS HAVE MENTIONED THAT TOYOTA DOESN'T HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS AND SAID OWNERS ARE WAITING YEARS AFTER FIRST CONTACT TO GET REPAIRS STARTED. IN MY CASE, I CONTACTED TOYOTA (FILE NUMBER #1808222394) ABOUT FIXING THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD AND THEY RESPONDED THAT AFTER MAY 31ST, 2017, THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS THE FIRST TOYOTA THAT I HAVE PURCHASED, HOWEVER, THIS DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD IS MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR AND MANY OTHERS AGREE, RESULTING IN LEGAL CONSEQUENCES. I AM CURRENTLY FILLING OUT A COMPLAINT WITH THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION, IN CASE SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN. I AM ALSO APPALLED THAT A COMPANY THAT REGARDS ITSELF AS A 'LEADER' IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY CAN LET PEOPLE WALK OFF THEIR DEALERSHIP DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR THAT THEY ENGINEERED, PRODUCED, AND OBVIOUSLY DON'T STAND BEHIND.

TOYOTA HAS ADMITTED ON 2011 IN ITS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT THE ENGINE DEFECT IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY EXHIBITS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION DUE TO THE DESIGN DEFECT OF THE 2AZ-FE ENGINE. IT REQUIRES A PISTON ASSEMBLY CHANGE TO MINIMIZE OIL CONSUMPTION HOWEVER THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO REPAIR IT AT THEIR OWN COST, THIS IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT REPAIR COSTING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX. THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER REPAIRS TO THE ENGINE DUE TO AN ARBITRARY 150,000 MILE LIMIT AND A VERY LIMITED TIME WINDOW BETWEEN 2015 TO 2016, AFTER I HAD ALREADY SPENT MONEY ON REPAIRS. THIS ALSO DIMINSHES THE VALUE OF MY CAR AND MORE IMPORTANTLY EXPOSES OUR FAMILY TO SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUES. THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO LOSE OIL, AND THE ENGINE BECOMES COMPLETELY DEPLETED OF OIL AT THE TIME OF AN OIL CHANGE (EVERY 3,000 MILES) WHICH CAN LEAD TO ENGINE FAILURE IN A MOVING VEHICLE AND POTENTIAL INJURY AND LOSS OF LIFE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS DEFECT AND TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX.

IT EVEN HAPPENS ACCIDENT NIGHT WHEN THE STREET LIGHTS REFLECT OFF THE DASH. I HAVE HAD THE CAT IN MOTION AND STABLE AND HAVE HAD NEAR ACCIDENTS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO ABOUT THIS. IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. BIT THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY THE MAKER.

SINCE MOVING TO SAN ANTONIO, TX 8/30/16 MY DASHBOARD HAS BEGUN MELTING AND HAS BECOME TACKY AND SHINY. THE GLARE HITS MY WINDSHIELD MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT TIMES. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR RECALL REPAIRS ON 10/31/16 AND ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER KNOWN ISSUE. I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT UNTIL 10/25/17 AND WAS INFORMED I MISSED THE 5/25/17 DEADLINE. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AND NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE.

THE DASHBOARD IN MY CAMRY IS TACKY AND STICKY. I HAVE THE SERVICE BULLETIN BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME IT IS EXPIRED. IT IS REALLY A BAD ISSUE. TOYOTA HAS MADE BILLIONS FROM SELLING CARS IN AMERICA ALONE AND THEY ALLOWED DEFECTIVE MATERIALS TO USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THEIR CARS AND THAT IS NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMER.

THE CHECK VSC SYSTEM ERROR CAME ON RECENTLY. IT ALSO CAME ON A FEW YEARS AGO AND THEN WENT AWAY AFTER A FEW DAYS. IT'S NOW BEEN UP FOR WEEKS. THE ERROR THAT IS TRIGGERING IS C1391, AND THE REPAIR SHOP SAYS THIS IS DUE TO AN ABNORMAL LEAK IN THE ACCUMULATOR. ALL OF THE BRAKE-RELATED LIGHTS ARE ON CONSTANTLY A FEW SECONDS AFTER STARTING UP THE CAR AND STAY ON UNTIL SHUTTING IT OFF. SOMETIMES THE BRAKES RANDOMLY SHUT STOP FUNCTIONING AS EXPECTED AND DO NOTHING WHEN COMPRESSING. I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS WAS A RECALL WHEN THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY (AND EVEN AFTER TOYOTA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY DUE TO THE FACT THIS IS SUCH A WIDE AND PERVASIVE ISSUE); OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO GET IT REPAIRED AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE. THIS REPAIR WAS QUOTED TO COST A MINIMUM OF $2,200. IT WOULD BE IDEAL IF TOYOTA WOULD FIX THIS PART SINCE IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SINCE NO OTHER MAJOR PART OF THE CAR IS FAULTY, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR HAS ALMOST 200,000 MILES ON IT. I FEEL TOYOTA HAS PUT LIVES AT RISK BY NOT ACTIVELY PURSUING TO CONTACT OWNERS OF THIS MODEL VEHICLE SINCE THE PART THEY PUT ON THESE CARS IS SO FAULTY.
