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.

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.

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.

1. BACKGROUND THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD BECAME "STICKY" ON OR ABOUT JUNE 12, 2018. THE ENTIRE DASH IS NOW COVERED WITH A GLUE-LIKE RESIDUE. THE TOYOTA WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM (ZE6) COVERING THIS PROBLEM EXPIRED ON MAY 31, 2017. TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE THE DASH UNDER THE WARRANTY PROGRAM (TOYOTA CASE #'S 1806131876, 1806210691). 2. SAFETY-RELATED ISSUES A. ON WARM, SUNNY DAYS IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, THE STICKY DASH HAS A VERY BRIGHT SHINE. THE SHINY DASH PROJECTS A GLOSSY, TEXTURED IMAGE OF THE DASH ONTO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THIS CAN OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS EITHER STATIONARY OR MOVING. THIS CONDITION IMPEDES MY FIELD OF VISION AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO FOCUS AND CLEARLY SEE THE ROAD AHEAD, OTHER VEHICLES, AND PEDESTRIANS. B. DURING THE SUMMER SEASON, INTERIOR CAR TEMPERATURES CAN REACH BETWEEN 130 AND 170 DEGREES. WHAT TOXINS ARE BEING RELEASED IN THE CAR INTERIOR FROM THE INTERACTION OF EXTREME HEAT, UV RADIATION, AND THE GLUE-LIKE RESIDUE? WHAT ARE THE SHORT AND LONG TERM HEALTH RISKS FROM INHALING POTENTIALLY TOXIC AIR IN A CONFINED SPACE WHILE DRIVING? SUMMARY BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUES NOTED ABOVE, MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT I AM DRIVING AN "UNSAFE" VEHICLE THAT IS ENDANGERING MYSELF, OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD, AND PEDESTRIANS. NO DRIVER SHOULD HAVE TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE DUE TO A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT WHICH RESULTS IN DIMINISHED ROAD VISIBILITY AND POTENTIALLY INTERIOR CAR TOXINS. THEREFORE, THIS IS NO LONGER A WARRANTY ISSUE BUT A SERIOUS "SAFETY" ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL. THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL HOWEVER, I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE BURNING OF THE OIL IN THE ENGINE. FOR OVER 2 YEARS, I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE OIL BURNING IN MY CAR AND HAVE CALLED NUMEROUS OF TIMES TO COMPLAINT THAT MY OIL LIGHT WAS ON WITH A FEW WEEKS OF GETTING A OIL CHANGE. I PAID NUMEROUS OF TIMES FOR ADDITIONAL OIL FOR MY CAR AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES BECAUSE THERE WAS NO OIL IN MY CAR. I WAS TOLD THE CAR IS OLDER AND THE MORE MILES ON THE CAR, THE VEHICLE WILL BURN LOTS OF OIL. I HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP MANY TIMES FOR OIL CHANGES AND REPAIRS FOR PREVIOUS RECALLS HOWEVER, I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE ENGINE OIL BURNING RECALL IN MY VEHICLE. AFTER BEING NOTIFIED BY A RENTAL CAR REPRESENTATIVE AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ABOUT AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, I CALLED PRIORITY CHEVROLET GREENBRIER TO GET THE TEST DONE SINCE I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THAT PRIORITY DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF THE SPEED OF GETTING AN APPOINTMENT FOR MY OIL CHANGES. I WAS TOLD I NEED TO GO TO PRIORITY TOYOTA TO HAVE IT DONE SINCE MY CAR IS A TOYOTA. NEVER ONCE HAVE A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ADVISE ME OF THE BURNING OF OIL WITH 07 CAMRY. NOW THAT I HAVE THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE, THE SERVICE REP SAYS THAT THE RECALL HAS EXPIRED EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL AND THAT I HAVE TO PAY $2,200 FOR THE REPAIR. I BELIEVE, I AM ENTITLE TO THIS REPAIR KNOWING THAT TOYOTA NEVER NOTIFIED ME AND THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS AND NOT ONE SERVICE PERSON HAS THE DECENCY TO INFORM ME OF THIS RECALL.

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID STARTED EXPERIENCING AN ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON DASH, "CHECK VSC SYSTEM", ADDITIONALLY ALL THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIT UP. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AT THE END OF MARCH 2018. I HAVE AN OBD2 READER AND THE FAULT CODE WAS "C1391". I WAS ABLE TO ERASE THE CODE AND DASHBOARD RETURNED TO NORMAL BUT MESSAGE AND LIGHTS RETURN 2-3 DAYS LATER. IN MID-JUNE 2018 I TOOK THE CAMRY TO TOYOTA TO REPAIR IT. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ($109) TO TELL ME WHAT I ALREADY TOLD THEM REGARDING THE CODE. I KNEW THAT WAS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY PROBLEM. THEY GAVE ME A A QUOTE OF $1895 FOR PART AND TAX AND AN ADDITIONAL $340 PLUS TAX FOR LABOR. I PICKED UP MY CAR, DID NOT HAVE THE $2400 TO GET THE WORK DONE (PARTS ALSO WOULD TAKE 2 DAYS TO GET). THEY DID WARN ME AGAINST DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT WAS FIXED. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO POINTED OUT THE ODD MOTORIZED NOISE THE ACTUATOR WAS MAKING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS OFF. HE SAID IT SHOULDN'T MAKE ANY NOISE WHEN IT WAS OFF. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH ON FORUMS, I FOUND THERE WAS A TOYOTA WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM ZE1 SPECIFICALLY FOR MY VEHICLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY (SEE ATTACHED). IT WAS ISSUED IN JULY 2014 TO OFFER FULL REPLACEMENT AND REPROGRAMMING AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER. HOWEVER, IT HAD DATED CONDITIONS AND WAS ONLY APPLICABLE IF THE LIGHTS AND MESSAGES CAME UP ON DASH. ALTHOUGH THE SOUND HAS OCCURRED SINCE I PURCHASED THE USED CAR IN JAN 2010, I DID NOT RECEIVE LIGHTS OR MESSAGE UNTIL MARCH 2018 BUT THE GRACE PERIOD RAN OUT ON JULY 2017. TOYOTA SHOULD HONOR THE EXTENSION OF THE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS IF THEY WON'T PROACTIVELY RESOLVE IT PRIOR TO THE INDICATED SIGNS. TOYOTA IS WARNING ME TO FIX THIS AT MY COST OR RISK BRAKE FAILURE AT ANY TIME.
