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. TOYOTA WILL BEGIN MAILING LETTERS TO OWNERS ON DECEMBER 31, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331, LEXUS AT 1-800-255-3987.

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. IF THE OWNER HAD NOT PURCHASED THE MATS, THEY ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL.

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.

I NEEDED TO SLOW FOR TRAFFIC CONGESTION. I APPLIED THE BRAKES, BUT THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO WORK. SEVERAL LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON INCLUDING THE CHECK HYBRID ENGINE, THE CHECK VSC SYSTEM, AND THE ABS LIGHTS. THE POWER BRAKES WERE OFF AND IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO STOP. THEN THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE STOPPED COMPLETELY REQUIRING ME TO MANEUVER OUT OF HEAVY TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED 10 MINUTES. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A TOYOTA DEALER WHO SAID SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS IF GAS CAP IS LOOSE. I WAS TOLD I COULD LEAVE AND THEY WOULD TROUBLESHOOT FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS AND A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS. I LEFT AND CONDUCTED MY OWN TROUBLESHOOTING ON GOOGLE AND SOUNDS LIKE A BRAKE ACTUATOR PROBLEM DUE TO SIMILAR ISSUES WITH OTHER OWNERS. TOYOTA HAS A KNOW ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND NEEDS TO MAKE AMENDS. PLEASE ADVISE.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING! THIS IS IMPACTING VISIBILITY BY CAUSING EXTREME GLARE SO THAT IT'S DIFFICULT TO SEE OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD ON SUNNY DAYS. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND APPARENTLY OUR DEALERSHIP HAD THE WRONG CITY LISTED FOR OUR ADDRESS WHICH MEANS WE DIDN'T GET THE SERVICE BULLETIN AND NOW WE ARE OUTSIDE OF THE 10 YEAR WINDOW BECAUSE WE PURCHASED IN NOV OF 2006. GIVE ME A BREAK! THIS IS ONE OF 5 TOYOTA'S WE CURRENTLY OWN AND THE REASON WE BUY TOYOTA'S IS BECAUSE THEY LAST. OUR CAMRY JUST HIT 84K MILES AND I EXPECT IT TO LAST MANY YEARS TO COME, BUT THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING! WE CALLED TOYOTA TODAY AND THEY SAID "I'M SORRY BUT YOU ARE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDOW WE OFFERED FOR SERVICE" AND "I'M SORRY YOUR DEALERSHIP DIDN'T PROPERLY UPDATE YOUR ADDRESS WHEN YOU GAVE IT TO THEM....BUT YOU ARE OUTSIDE THE WINDOW". THIS IS RIDICULOUS. HOW CAN A MELTING DASHBOARD NOT BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. IT'S MAKES VISIBILITY DIFFICULT DUE TO GLARE AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. OURS DIDN'T BECOME A PROBLEM UNTIL THIS SUMMER AND NOW WE FIND OUT THE SERVICE BULLETIN IS CLOSED. I SEE ONLINE PEOPLE ARE WAITING YEARS TO GET REPLACEMENTS....THIS IS JUST TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. THE DASHBOARD IS DEFECTIVE AND TOYOTA IS NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY HERE. THESE CARS ARE BUILT TO LAST DECADES AND TO HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN AND NOT AN OFFICIAL RECALL IS JUST WRONG. WE NEVER RECEIVED DOCUMENTATION AND THE PROBLEM BECAME SEVERELY WORSE THIS SUMMER. WE'RE ABOUT A YEAR PAST THE 10 YEARS AS WE BOUGHT OUR CAR IN NOV OF 2016. WHAT CAN WE DO? THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE STICKY GOO THAT IS NOW MY DASHBOARD. YOU JUST CAN'T SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD ON SUNNY DAYS, IT'S A TRAVESTY.

"ABS ACTUATOR" TOYOTA KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2007 CAMRY HYBRID ABS ACTUATOR, MY DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME 10/23/2017 THAT MY ABS ACTUATOR IS GOING OUT. IF THIS HAPPENS IT WILL BE HARD TO STOP AND OR STEER MY CAR WHICH IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WANT TO BE SURE THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN LODGED WITH THE NHTSA.

"ABS ACTUATOR EXTENDED WARRANTIES", IN 2014 MY CAR HAD TWO ISSUES WITH THE ABS ACTUATOR AND MY DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO GET THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE FROM THEM. NOW MY CAR IS DISPLAYING "CHECK VSC SYSTEM" AND MANY LIGHTS ON MY DASH. WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN TO MY TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT IS THE ABS ACTUATOR AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. TOYOTA HAD 2 EXTENDED WARRANTIES FOR TROUBLE WITH THE ABS ACTUATOR. BOTH OF THESE WARRANTIES HAVE NOW EXPIRED SO MY ABS ACTUATOR CANNOT BE FIXED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTIES. BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY PART AT ANYTIME I AM DRIVING I CAN LOSE BRAKING AND STEERING POWER. I HAD FILED A COMPLAINT BEFORE WITH YOUR AGENCY FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE BUT THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ME TO HAVE THE PART CHANGED WHEN THE EXTENDED WARRANTIES WERE IN-FORCE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR AND AS I SAID EARLIER MY DEALERSHIP COULD NOT GET THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE FROM THE FIRST TIME THESE ISSUES OCCURRED.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IS DROOPING AND DOES NOT STAY IN POSITION. IT ALWAYS TILTS DOWNWARD. THIS RESULTS IN OBSTRUCTED VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. TOYOTA WARRANTY POLICY BULLETIN POL12-03 DOES NOT COVER THIS DEFECT FOR MY VIN #; THEREFORE, I DID NOT FIND OUT ABOUT THIS WARRANTY POLICY BULLETIN BEFORE THE EXPIRATION PERIOD OF SEVEN YEARS FROM FIRST USE. CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY INDICATED THAT THIS REPAIR IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY FOR MY CAR SINCE IT IS NOT ON THE LIST OF AFFECTED VIN #S. THIS SUN VISOR SHOULD BE THE SAME PART NUMBER FOUND IN AFFECTED VIN #S. FROM SEVERAL ONLINE TOYOTA CAR OWNER FORUMS, THIS TYPE OF ISSUE IS COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR OWNERS OF CARS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY POLICY BULLETIN BECAUSE THEIR VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE LIST.

BRAKES GO TO THE FLOOR. 3 YEARS AGO, THERE WAS A EXTENDED WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR A INTERNAL LEAK IN THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY (C1391). THE REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. NOW, THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AGAIN. HOWEVER THIS TIME, ITS PAST THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND IS A GOING TO A 2K REPAIR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL, NOT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY.

EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION: MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IS CONSUMING 1 QUART OF ENGINE OIL EVERY 1,200 MILES BASED ON A LATENT DESIGN DEFECT IN THE ENGINE PISTONS AND PISTON RINGS. TOYOTA ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AND SET THE OIL CONSUMPTION LEVELS AT A RIDICULOUS LEVEL (1.2 QUARTS PER 1,200 MILES) AND THEY CONTINUE TO REJECT MY REQUEST TO PAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY SAY THIS IS NORMAL. FUNNY NONE OF MY OTHER 5 TOYOTA'S HAVE EVER DONE THIS!! I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE AND HAS A SIGNIFICANT MONETARY COST TO FIX THE ISSUE. TOYOTA KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND WOULDN'T PAY TO FIX THE ISSUE.

FOR SEVERAL WEEKS PRIOR TO 10/12/2017, I HAD BEEN NOTICING A SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE TO START THE CAR AND SOMETIMES WHEN THE CAR WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE VENICE TOYOTA DEALER ON 10/05/2017, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR WAS FAILING. ON 10/12/2017, ALL OF THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON ON MY DASHBOARD: ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, ETC., AS WELL AS THE WORDS "CHECK VSC SYSTEM." ON 10/13/2017, I HAD THE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY REPLACED BY VENICE TOYOTA, AT A COST OF $1990.00. THREE YEARS PRIOR, IN JANUARY 2014, I HAD ALREADY HAD THE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY REPLACED DUE TO THE VERY SAME FAILURE.THERE WERE MANY REPORTS TO THE NHTSA AT THAT TIME FOR THE SAME MAKE VEHICLES AND YEAR RANGE. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER TOYOTA ISSUED A VEHICLE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR THE ACTUATOR SYSTEM, AND I WAS EVENTUALLY REIMBURSED BY TOYOTA FOR THAT REPAIR. BUT NOW IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN THREE YEARS LATER. CLEARLY THERE IS STILL A WEAKNESS IN THE ACTUATOR SYSTEM, AND I EVEN WONDER IF MY SYSTEM WAS REPLACED BY THE EXACT SAME UNIMPROVED PARTS. TOYOTA IS UNWILLING TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FAILURE OR FOR ITS REPAIR. MY CAR HAS LOW MILEAGE FOR ITS AGE, CURRENTLY AT 95,000. ALSO, I ONLY PUT ON 26,700 ADDITIONAL MILES SINCE THE ACTUATOR SYSTEM FIRST FAILED 3 YEARS AGO.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION - NOT SAFE MY FAMILY IS EXTREMELY LOYAL TO THE TOYOTA BRAND AND WE HAVE NEVER HAD ANY MAJOR ISSUES WITH AN OF OUR VEHICLES IN THE PAST. I NOTICED THAT MY 2007 CAMRY SE 2.4L V4 HAD BEEN BURNING OIL EXTREMELY FAST A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO.AT FIRST, A MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO CHANGE MY VALVE COVER GASKET AS THAT WAS WHAT HE PRESUMED TO BE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE. AFTER I PAID TO GET THAT REPLACED I NOTICED THAT MY ENGINE WAS STILL BURNING OIL AT AN EXTREMELY FAST RATE. I PROCEEDED TO CHANGE MY PCV VALVE AND SWITCH TO A SYNTHETIC-BLEND. NOTHING AT ALL HAS HELPED WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION. IT IS DRAINING MY POCKETS AND TIME. MULTIPLE MECHANICS HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THERE ARE NO OIL LEAKS. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY DRAINING AND UNSAFE.MY CAR BURNS OVER 1 QUART EVERY THOUSAND MILES. I BELIEVE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MY ENGINE, I'VE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND NEED TO GET THIS FIXED. I HOPE THAT TOYOTA CAN HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE.
