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.

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.

MY 2007 TOYOTA SOLORA CUTS OFF AS I'M DRIVING! I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR FOUND OUT IT HAS A FEW RECALLS ! I'M SCARED , THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY CAR?
Electrical system, May 12, 2018
HOOD OPEN WARNING LIGHT ON DASHBOARD AND CHIME ACTIVATES WHILE DRIVING ON SURFACE STREETS AND FREEWAY. I STOP TO CHECK HOOD AND IT IS SECURE. LIGHT AND ALARM WILL CLEAR AND THEN A FEW MILES LATER IT WILL GO ON AGAIN. WHEN CAR IS PARKED AND CAR ALARM IS ACTIVATED, THE CAR ALARM WILL START SOUNDING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, WITH NOBODY NEAR THE VEHICLE. I HAVE READ THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THESE TWO CONDITIONS ALSO, AND BELIEVE THESE TWO CONDITIONS ARE RELATED. IT IS AN ANNOYANCE TO MY NEIGHBORS AS WELL AS MYSELF, AND IF DRIVING ON THE ROAD THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF PULLING OVER TO CHECK THE HOOD LATCH TO SILENCE ALARM AND WARNING LIGHT. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS.

ANTI LOCK BRAKE ACTUATOR FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 104,000 MILES. A WARNING LIGHT JUST CAME ON THE DASH AND WE TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE THE FOLLOWING DAY. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE ADVISES THERE IS NO RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY HAVE ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS OR 150,000, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. OUR VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED 10 YEARS AND 10 MONTHS AGO SO IT'S NOT COVERED, EVEN THOUGH OUR MILEAGE IS 2/3 OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. WE FEEL IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL SINCE IT IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE FOR THESE VEHICLES.

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SE 2.4L 4 CYL, CONSUMES OIL AT A STAGGERING RATE. DUE TO THIS INCREASED RATE OF OIL CONSUMPTION, INCREASED MAINTENANCE COSTS INEVITABLY OCCUR. THIS OIL CONSUMPTION OCCURS ANY TIME THE CAR'S ENGINE IS RUNNING, OCCURRING EVEN MORE AT HIGH SPEEDS OF OPERATION. THE CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY LURCH WHEN BEING DRIVEN, CREATING OPPORTUNITY FOR AN ACCIDENT TO OCCUR IN THE WRONG CONDITIONS. BEFORE DRIVING FOR PROLONGED HIGH SPEEDS, I CHECK THE OIL LEVEL TO ENSURE THERE IS ENOUGH TO PREVENT A SEIZED ENGINE. THE RESULTS OF SUCH A PROBLEM WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC AT HIGH SPEEDS. THESE INCREASED MAINTENANCE COSTS AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL DANGERS CAUSED BY THE INCREASED OIL CONSUMPTION OF MY CAR PROVIDE MORE THAN AMPLE JUSTIFICATION FOR AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAMRY AND AS I APPROACHED TRAFFIC STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION. I BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP WHEN THE BRAKES EFFECTIVELY QUIT. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS AND WARNING HORNS BEGAN GOING OFF AND I SWERVED OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID HITTING THE STOPPED CARS IN FRONT OF ME. I DOWN SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION AND SET THE PARKING BRAKE TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT CAUGHT ME BY SURPRISE AND I AM JUST GLAD I WAS DRIVING AND NOT ONE OF MY 16 YEAR OLD TWIN BOYS! I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE PARKING LOT OF A CLOSE BY GAS STATION WHERE I NOTICED THE 'CHECK VSC', 'BRAKE' AND 'ABS' LIGHTS WERE ALL ILLUMINATED. AT THIS POINT THE BRAKES FELT AS IF THE POWER BRAKING WAS INOPERATIVE. I SLOWLY DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND AFTER DOING A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, THE SERVICE TEAM REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THE MECHANIC FOUND THE' 'BRAKE ACTUATOR IS CONTINUALLY RUNNING. LOSING PRESSURE.' ALTHOUGH THERE I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT, HAD THE AREA TO THE RIGHT OF THE ROAD NOT BEEN CLEAR, I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY HIT SEVERAL CARS STOPPED AT THE INTERSECTION.

THE DASHBOARD IS MADE OF A PLASTIC THAT DETERIORATES OVER TIME. THE EFFECT IS A STICKY COATING WHEN THE DASHBOARD IS EXPOSED TO WARMTH. TOYOTA EXPANDED THE WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS. MY CAR DID NOT EXHIBIT SYMPTOMS DURING THAT TIME, OR WHEN CHECKED, HAD NOT BEEN EXPOSED TO HEAT (THE CAR IS GARAGE KEPT). DASHBOARDS SHOULD NOT WEAR OUT. TOYOTA WAS SOLD A DEFECTIVE MATERIAL. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY TOYOTA WOULD NOT INSIST THAT CUSTOMERS ARE MADE WHOLE FOR THIS (THE REPAIR IS OVER $1,200) RATHER THAN RISK LOSING LOYAL (FORMERLLY LOYAL) CUSTOMERS. MY WIFE AND I HAVE OWNED 5 TOYOTAS SINCE 1980, AND CURRENTLY HAVE TWO. THE SHINY DASH CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD. OUR 2007 HAD OTHER SERIOUS DEFECTS THAT TOYOTA REPAIRED.
