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.

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. 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.

1) FRONT HEADLAMPS BURN WEAK AND PLASTIC LENS COVERS YELLOWED OVER TIME, LATTER PROBLEM OF WHICH IS THAT LENSES CAN'T BE CLEANED BY EITHER COMMERCIAL AUTO SOLVENTS OR BY LOCAL MECHANIC, CREATING SAFETY HAZARD FOR DRIVING AT NIGHT. PRICE QUOTED FOR PARTS ALONE VIA TOYOTA IS $818 FOR HEADLAMP SET, PLUS LABOR. I HAVE OWNED 2 OTHER CAMRY MODELS AND NEVER HAD ANY ISSUE WITH HEADLAMP OBFUSCATION DUE TO LENS MATERIAL OR BULB COMPOSITION. THIS VEHICLE'S HEADLAMP LENS COMPOSITION IS FILMY TO CLOUDY TO NAKED EYE IN DAYLIGHT, NOT NEARLY CRYSTAL CLEAR AS WHEN NEW.. EVEN IF BULBS WERE REPLACED THE LENS WOULD OBSCURE RADIUS AND LENGTH OF HEADLAMP FOR ANY NIGHT DISTANCE DRIVING OTHER THAN HEAVILY LIT STREETS. MUST USE HIGH BEAMS AT NIGHT WHEN POSSIBLE AND WHEN NOT HAZARD TO ONCOMING DRIVERS. EVEN HIGH BEAM DISTANCE DULL. NOTICED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND OTHER CARS ILLUMINATE THEIR OWN PATHWAY FAR BETTER THAN MY OWN. NIGHT TIME DRIVING ON RURAL, SEMI-RURAL, COUNTY, SUBURBAN OR UNLIGHTED STATE AND LOCAL HIGHWAYS IN PARTICULAR ARE A HAZARD. 2) ENGINE HAS REGULARLY BURNED 1 QUART OF OIL ABOUT EVERY 1,000 MILES SINCE CAR HAD CLOCKED 60K MILES. UNDERWENT OIL TEST UNDER EXTENDED RECALL BULLETIN VIA TOYOTA AND IT DEEMED CAR WITHIN SPECS (TIME OF YEAR AND TYPE OF OIL CAN VARY AMOUNT OF OIL BURNED BUT RECOMMENDED 5W20 RESULTS IN 2-3 QUARTS A MONTH BURNED OFF, NO LEAKS, 75% HIGHWAY DRIVING.). BIGGER ISSUE IS OIL CAN GET DANGEROUSLY LOW (AT LEAST QUARTER INCH BELOW DIPSTICK LOW LEVEL) AND NO DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. OIL LEVELS MUST BE CHECKED MANUALLY AT LEAST WEEKLY AND/OR AT FILL-UP TO ENSURE OIL TANK HAS ENOUGH OIL. GENERALLY HAVE BEEN ADDING 2 TO 3 QUARTS A MONTH. DESPITE TECH BULLETIN RECOMMENDATIONS, TOYOTA SAYS I AM INELIGIBLE FOR MECHANICAL REMEDIATION. CAR CURRENTLY RUNS AND HAS 160K MILES +/- ON IT. DATE BELOW IS APPROXIMATE FOR 60K MILEAGE..

JULY 2016, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DIAGNOSTIC INDICATED CODE P171. WAS ADVISED IT WAS A LAUNDRY LIST OF SYSTEMS TO CHECK FOR THIS CODE. ( REPLACED THE FOLLOWING; FLEX PIPE, 02 SENSOR, SPARK PLUGS AND FUEL PUMP. FOR A TOTAL OF 1400.00) WHILE DRIVING ON I-95 AT 60 MPH, AIRBAG LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT AND SEAT BELT LIGHT ALL ILLUMINATED AT THE SAME TIME. TECHOMETER SURGED OUT OF CONTROL, ENGINE TEMP GAUGE DISPLAYED NO READING AND SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO. OH AND YEAH, THE AC THAT WAS BLOWING VERY COLD AIR SWITCHED TO WARM OR HOT. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAPPENED AT THE SAME TIME ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH. IRONICALLY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE AND THE MECHANIC IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE AS THERE IS NO CODE ISSUED FROM THE COMPUTER FOR THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND THERE IS NO WARNING. THE ENGINE PERFORMS NORMAL DURING THIS ISSUE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE AC THAT FAILS EVERY TIME. THIS ISSUE CAN AND HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR IS SITTING PARKED WITH ENGINE RUNNING AND WHILE IN MOTION. I AM SO AFRAID THAT THIS EVENTUALLY WILL CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH. AND THE MOST ANNOYING PART IS NO MECHANIC CAN TELL ANY OF US WHY THIS HAPPENS OR HOW TO FIX IT. PLEASE, PLEASE, HELP US BEFORE THE WORST HAPPENS.

WENT TO HAVE MY OIL CHECK BECAUSE MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON / MY MECHANIC CHECK THE OIL STICK THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE CAR AT ALL. SO HE CHECK TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NO OIL LEAK THERE WAS NONE. THAT IS WHEN WE WENT TO THE WEB SITE AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE OIL COMPLICATION PROBLEM. TOUCH MY CAR TO SCOTT CLARK TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR. THEY HAD ME DRIVE IT A COUPLE OF WEEKS UNTIL I REACHED THE MILEAGE THEY NEEDED FOR ME TO GET IT TESTED AGAIN TOOK IT BACK ON 7/23/16 IT PASSED THE TEST AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS GOOD AND THAT IT WAS ONLY LOSSING A QUART OF OIL . THEY WOULD NOT FIX MY CAR BECAUSE IT PASSED THE TEST. NOW I HAVE A CAR THAT I NEED TO HAVE REPAIRED BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO GET ANOTHER CAR. WITH ME DRIVING THE CAR WITH THE OIL LIGHT COMING ON WAS MY SIGN TO STOP AND HAVE IT CHECKED. IF I WOULD HAVE NOT THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE BLOWNED. SO I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO NOW TO GET THESE PEOPLE TO FIX MY CAR ASAP.THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD BE SIX MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD BEFORE I COULD GET IT REPAIRED BECAUSE THEY ALREADY HAD A BACKLOG OF CARS THAT ARE WAITING TO BE REPAIRED. THIS WAS BEFORE THEY LET ME KNOW IT HAD PASSED THE TEST. BRAD BENNICK OF SCOTT CLARK TOYATO TOLD ME I COULD DRIVE MY CAR ANOTHER 200,00 MORE MILES WITH THIS OIL PROBLEM. I KNOW THAT IF YOU HAVE A OIL LEAKE THERE'S KNOW WAY YOU CAN CONTINUE TO DRIVE A CAR WITH THAT PROBLEM. SO I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME IN THIS MATTER. SCOTT CLARKS IS A PLACE I THOUGHT CARED ABOUT THERE CUSTOMERS BUT I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANOTHER CAR FROM THEM OR TELLING ANYONE TO PURCHASE A CAR FROM THIS COMPANY. SO WHAT SHOULD I DO? THIS HAPPEN ON 6/11/16 AND TOOK MY CAR IN ON 6/13/16 FOR THE FIRST OIL TEST.

PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA IN MARCH 2008 WITH 22 MILES ON IT. BEGINNING IN 2014 WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WOULD GO OUT WITHIN 5-10 MINUTES OF DRIVING. BY TURNING THE HEADLIGHTS ON AND OFF, THE HEADLIGHT WOULD STAY ON. BEGINNING IN 2015 WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT, THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT STARTED GOING OUT AFTER 3-5 MINUTES OPERATION AND I WOULD TURN THE LIGHTS ON AND OFF AND THE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON FOR ANOTHER 3-5 MINUTES. I REPLACED THE BULB, ONLY TO FIND THE PROBLEM WAS REOCCURRING. HAD THE FUSES CHECKED BY A MECHANIC'THEY WERE FINE. HAD THE WIRING CHECKED, IT WAS FINE. WHAT STARTED HAPPENING SHORTLY AFTERWARDS IS DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING: WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WITHOUT NOTIFICATION AND IT TOOK 2-3 TIMES OF TURNING THEM ON AND OFF BEFORE THEY BOTH CAME BACK ON' THEN 3-5 MINUTES LATER THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. I HAVE TRIED EVERY COMBINATION OF LIGHTS I KNOW, BRIGHTS, AUTOMATIC, MANUAL.. HIGH BEAMS, FOG.. THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WILL GO OUT. THIS EVENING WHILE DRIVING IN THE DARK, BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT ON A WINDING ROAD, I DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO RE-INVESTIGATE TO SEE IF THIS IS A RECURRING/KNOWN PROBLEM. SADLY, IT APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM IN A FORUM, BUT NOT AN ADMITTED PROBLEM BY THE MANUFACTURER. I CANNOT SELL/TRADE THE VEHICLE KNOWING OF THIS ISSUE, NOR WOULD I GIFT THIS VEHICLE TO MY TEEN.

MELTING/DECOMPOSING DASHBOARD CAR WAS PURCHASE FROM MY SON-IN-LAW/ELDEST DAUGHTER (BOUGHT FROM HIS MOTHER NEW) FOR BY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER. AFTER A MONTH OR TWO AFTER THE PURCHASE, I NOTICED THAT THE INTERIOR WAS PITTING AND WAS ALL MARKED UP AND LITERALLY DECOMPOSING. I WRONGLY BLAMED MY DAUGHTER AND HER FRIENDS FOR THIS APPARENT ABUSE UNTIL HEARING ABOUT THIS ISSUE ONLINE. AFTER MY PROPHETIC APOLOGY TO MY DAUGHTER, I ASKED HER TO TAKE IT INTO THE DEALER TO "GET THE BALL ROLLING". I WANTED HER TO LEARN HOW TO DO THIS ON HER OWN. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER AFTER BEING ASSURED THAT THE REPLACEMENT DASH WOULD BE AT THE DEALER, THEY TOLD HER THAT IT WAS THE WRONG COLOR AND WOULD HAVE TO BE RE-ORDERED. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER THIS WHOLE ORDEAL WAS STARTED, THEY EXPLAINED THAT THERE WERE NO DASHES IN THE US WHATSOEVER. I THEN DECIDED TO CALL TOYOTA US DIRECTLY TO EXPLAIN OUR SITUATION. I WAS TOLD THE SAME THING AND THEY VERIFIED THAT THE ACTUAL ORDER DATE WAS MARCH 8TH 2016 (WHAT??) AND THAT THE COMPANY CONTRACTED TO PRODUCE THESE DASHES CURRENTLY HAS A 6-18 MONTH BACKLOG. I THEN ASKED IF THERE HAPPENED TO BE AN AIRBAG ISSUE AND THE DASH WAS DAMAGED WOULD I HAVE TO WAIT TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. THEY SAID NOT LIKELY...SO WHAT THIS TELLS ME IS THAT THE DASHBOARDS ARE OUT THERE "SOMEWHERE" BUT NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THIS PARTICULAR RECALL AND OUT-OF-WARRANTY CAMPAIGN (DIFFERENT BUCKET). I HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAT THIS CAMPAIGN CAN BE TRANSFERRED TO THE NEW OWNER (PROVIDE THEM WITH THE CASE #). I ALSO LEARNED THAT TOYOTA IS NOT THAT HIGH QUALITY, BEGIN ALL- END ALL UBER AUTO MANUFACTURERS THAT ALL OF THE MAGAZINES LEAD US TO BELIEVE THAT IT IS.
