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. 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 HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY CARS OIL CONSUMPTION AND WAS NEVER NOTIFIED FROM TOYOTA THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BACK IN MAY 2015 FOR ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION REPAIR. THE SHOP IS NOW TELLING ME I HAVE A BLOWN PISTON FROM WHAT THEY CAN HEAR. I HAVE RECORDS THAT I NEVER MISSED AN OIL CHANGE AND EVEN HAVE PROOF FROM FIRESTONE COMPLETE CARE WHEN MY CAR WAS CHECKED FOR OIL LEAKS. THERE WERE NONE FOUND. TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY SAID IT'S TOO LATE TO DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I ALSO SENT TOYOTA PROOF OF MY OIL CHANGES FROM FIRESTONE DATED 12/13/14, 4/11/15, 6/29/15, 8/22/15, 10/08/15, 11/14/15 AND 1/3/16. MY CAR WAS TOWED INTO COMMUNITY TOYOTA ON 3/23/16.
Vehicle speed control, Mar 27, 2016, crash
LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY I PARTIALLY RAN OVER A SMALL TREE STUMP, AND IT SEEMS FOR NO REASON SUDDEN ACCELERATION OCCURRED, I QUICKLY APPLIED MY FOOT TO THE BRAKE BUT EVEN WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR PROPELLED LIKE A RACE HORSE COMING OUT OF THE GATE. AND EVEN AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES THE CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN UNTIL I STEERED INTO WOODS TO STOP THE CAR. I AM NOT SURE IF DRIVING OVER THE SMALL STUMP HAD ANY BEARING ON THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION, BUT EVEN THE APPLICATION OF THE BREAKS WOULD NOT EITHER STOP THE CAR FROM ACCELERATING OUT OF CONTROL OR STOP THE CAR FROM HITTING THE TREE.

I HAD ABS, AND BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON. THE SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER AND A/C HAS STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT REASON. DEALER FOUND U0073 TROUBLE CODE AND I HAD THE REPLACE ABS ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY WHICH INCLUDES ABS PUMP AND ECU. FROM THE RESEARCH THAT I MADE ONLINE, I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT MANY 07-10 CAMRY USERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR ABS SYSTEM. A NEW ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY COSTS OVER 3000 DOLARES AND THEY ARE MANUFACTURED BY BOSCH. I BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA IS HIDING THE PROBLEM BECAUSE A RECALL COST ON THIS PARTICULAR MATTER WILL BE A LOT HIGHER.

ON FEBRUARY 24, 2016, CAR BRAKES ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID LOCKED UP WHEN WE TRIED TO STOP AND ABOUT 4 LIGHTS CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD, ABS,VSC,WARNING LIGHT AND ANOTHER ONE. WE BARELY MANAGED TO GET OUT OF HARM'S WAY BUT AFTER THE GRINDING NOISE HAD LOST ALL EFFECTIVE POWER TO THE BRAKES. THE CAR ACTUALLY CAUGHT FIRE DUE TO THE INTENSE HEAT OF THE GRINDING OF THE PADS ON THE ROTORS BUT WAS SAFELY PUT OUT. AFTER REPLACING THE PADS, ROTOR AND CALLIPERS WE STILL WOUND UP TAKING THE CAR TO A DEALER BECAUSE THE BRAKE ACTUATOR OR SOMETHING RELATED WAS STILL NOT LETTING THE BRAKES WORK. THE DEALER HAS GIVEN US A LAME EXCUSE OF WHY THIS HAS HAPPENED AND IS BLAMING IT ON SOMETHING ELSE AND WANTS TO CHARGE US A LOT OF MONEY TO REPAIR IT. UPON RESEARCH, WE ARE FINDING OUT ABOUT THE ZE1 CAMPAIGN WHERE THEY HAD ACKNOWLEDGED THIS DEFECT. AND WERE REPAIRING ALL THE CARS THAT CAME IN WITH THE DEFECT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. CONTACTING TOYOTA HAS NOT HELPED AT ALL. WE ASKED FOR AN EMAIL ADDRESS BUT WERE TOLD THAT THESE ARE HANDLED BY MAIL ONLY. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF SENDING THEM A LETTER ANYWAY. *JS

OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WHICH WAS PURCHASED IN 2009. TOOK INTO MY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH RECALL. ALSO INQUIRED ABOUT MY BROKEN DRIVER SIDE VISOR. WAS TOLD THAT VISOR WAS NOT A RECALL AND ONLY COVERED AS AN EXTENDED SERVICE FOR 7 YEARS FROM DATE OF FIRST USE; THEREFORE NOT COVERED. VISOR WILL FALL DOWN WHILE DRIVING, OBSTRUCTING VIEW AND WILL NOT STAY ATTACHED WITH CLIP. THIS PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR UNTIL RECENTLY BUT TOYOTA WILL NOT REPLACE IT, AS IT IS OUTSIDE THE 7 YEARS FROM DATE OF FIRST USE. I CALLED TOYOTA AND ASKED WHY THE VISOR WAS NOT REPLACED PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE. THEY INDICATED THAT IF IT WAS NOT SHOWING SIGNS OF PROBLEMS, THEY DID NOT REPLACE THEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE A VISOR "FALL" DURING DRIVING AND OBSTRUCTING YOUR VISION.
