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.

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.

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.

THIS KEEPS HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO RELATION TO SPEED OR ROAD CONDITIONS. ALSO, I LIVE IN SUNNY CALIFORNIA, AND NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE HAD TO USE THE ABS SYSTEM FOR ANY BREAKING. I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THIS IS AN ABS BRAKE CONTROL MODULE PROBLEM, WHICH WILL COST ABOUT $2500 TO FIX. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!! I AM RETIRED AND CANNOT AFFORD THIS KIND OF EXPENSE!!! I HAVE BEEN DRIVING TOYOTAS FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM OR EVEN HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. MY PRIOR CAMRY LASTED FOR 14 YEARS AND 200,000 MILES AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. TOYOTA TRULY NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR AT LEAST TELL ALL FUTURE CAMRY BUYERS TO BE PREPARED FOR A $2500 - $5000 EXPENSE IN THE FUTURE.

I,'M AFRAID THAT THIS MUCH OIL CONSUMPTION WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO WRECKING THE MOTOR AND PROBABLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. TOYOTA HAD A WARRANTY FOR THIS TYPE OF ISSUE BUT IT EXPIRED LAST YEAR.
