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.

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.

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.

TOYOTA RECALL: I TOOK MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL. THEY HAD A 3 PHASE TEST AND IT USED A QUART OF OIL AFTER 1000 MILES, BUT I HAD TO BRING IT IN A THIRD TIME, THEN THEY SAID I FAILED THE TEST AS I WENT OVER THE MILEAGE FOR THE 3RD VISIT. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY LET ME FILE A COMPLAINT BUT ALSO SAID I FAILED TO MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS AS I WENT OVER THE MILEAGE EVEN THOUGH IT HAD ALREADY USED A QUART OF OIL THE AFTER 1000 MILES. I ASKED FOR THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS AND THEY WERE VAGUE AND STATED THE DEALERSHIP MADE THE DETERMINATION AROUND TOYOTA'S GUIDELINES. I TOOK IT AGAIN FOR THE LAST AND FINAL OIL RECALL AND THEY THEN SAID I WENT OVER THE MILEAGE FOR THE OIL RECALL TEST THE SECOND TIME (1700 MILES) THAT IT WAS A BIT LOW AND THEY TOPPED IT OFF AS A CURTESY, BUT I WAS NO LONGER ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. TODAY AFTER 3000 MILES FROM MY LAST OIL CHANGE AND THEIR TOPPING IT OFF THE OIL WAS DOWN 4 QUARTS OF OIL. I FEEL THAT THAT TOYOTA IS MAKING THIS DIFFICULT SO THAT A CONSUMER FAILS THE RECALL AND THEY DO NOT HAVE TO FIX THE PISTONS ON THE ENGINE.

"CHECK VSC SYSTEM" WHEN I TOOK MY CAR OUT THIS MORNING, I GOT A WARNING LIGHT SAYING "CHECK VSC SYSTEM". MY BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHTS ARE ALSO ON. THE CAR BRAKES WITH A JERK AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING QUITE OFTEN. COMPLAINTS TO THE TOYOTA DEALER DID NOT HELP. AS PER HTTP://WWW.CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM/NEWS/FEDS-INVESTIGATE-BRAKING-PROBLEMS-IN-TOYOTA-CAMRY-HYBRID-012814.HTML A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE COMPLAINED TO NHTSA. PLEASE HELP WITH A RECALL AS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR THIS WAY.

WHILE DRIVING ON A LOCAL STREET I NOTICED THE RED BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN JUST A FEW SECONDS LATER MULTIPLE LIGHTS CAME ON, MASTER WARNING LIGHT, ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE WARNING, ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM, SLIP INDICATOR, AND CHECK VSC SYSTEM AND I HAD NO BRAKING CAPABILITY. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR PULLED OFF OF THE ROAD SO I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND THEN TURNED IT ON AGAIN AND THE SAME LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. I TURNED IT OFF AGAIN AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES I TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE LIGHTS WERE NOT ON AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. BRAKING SYSTEM WAS WORKING AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS AND NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS CAR IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE. *JS
Service brakes, Dec 29, 2015
ALL THE DASHBOARD BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, AND A COUPLE OF SECONDS LATER ALL THE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. THE BRAKES BECAME HARD TO PUSH AS IF THEY WERE FIGHTING ME. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND THE BRAKES FELT NORMAL AGAIN. THIS OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING TODAY. THE BIGGER WORRY IS THAT IT HAPPENED TEN DAYS AGO ALSO. ONCE ON A CITY STREET AND ONCE ON THE INTERSTATE. I TOOK THE CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT SHOPS (ONE WAS A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN MARIETTA, GEORGIA) AND THEY BOTH RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. BUT I HAVE AN UNSAFE CAR WITH BRAKE PROBLEMS!
Service brakes, Dec 28, 2015
BRAKES FAILED WHILE TRYING TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN. THE BRAKES FAILED WHILE TRYING TO STOP ON DRY PAVEMENT. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY HARD AND THE CAR CONTINUED THREW THE STOP SIGN AND STOPPED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD BEEN ON FOR A DAY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS BAD GAS. I DROVE THE CAR FOR ANOTHER DAY WITH HARD BRAKES AND THEN RETUNED TO THE DEALER BECAUSE OF SOME NEAR MISSES BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING. THE DEALER FOUND THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS BAD. A QUICK CHECK SHOWS THAT THIS VERY COMMON ON 2007 CAMRY. THESE FAULTY BOOSTERS ARE SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED BY TOYOTA BEFORE SOME ONE DIES!

MY 07 CAMRY RUNS COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL BEFORE IT'S TIME FOR IT TO BE CHANGED. I HAVE HAD THE CAR CHECKED FOR OIL LEAKS AND HAS PASSED EACH TIME. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I HAVE FOUND THAT THE MORE MILES ON THE CAR THE FASTER IT RUNS THE OIL OUT AND WITH THAT BEING SAID I NOW HAVE ENGINE DAMAGE. NOT TO MENTION THIS CAR HAS BEEN THE ABSOLUTE WORST. I PUT MY VISORS DOWN ONE TIME AND HAD TO TAKE THEM OFF BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T GO BACK UP. THE POWER CONTROLS IN MY CAR DON'T WORK. I ALSO FOUND OUT TONIGHT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE GAS PEDAL IN THIS DEATH TRAP THAT HAPPENED BEFORE I OWNED IT THAT I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF BUT KNEW SOMETHING HAD TO BE WRONG WITH IT BECAUSE IT KEPT STICKING!! I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON DEALING WITH THIS AND FIND IT OUTRAGEOUS THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. MY CHILDREN USED TO RIDE IN THAT CAR!! IT IS A TICKING TIME BOMB AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!

I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE CHECK VSC WARNING CAME ON AS WELL AS THE INDICATOR WARNING LIGHT, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT AND THE VSC WARNING LIGHT. ALL THE LIGHTS REMAINED ON UNTIL I REACHED MY DESTINATION. THE BRAKE SYSTEM MADE A STRANGE "GRUNTING" NOISE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED BUT THE BRAKES SEEMED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTARTED AND LESS THAN HALFWAY ON THE RETURN TRIP, WENT OFF. THERE HAS BEEN NO NOTICEABLE LOSS OF BRAKING. ON THE 21ST OF THE MONTH THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AND HAVE NOT GONE OFF. THE ABS PUMP ACTUATOR APPEARS TO BE CYCLING VERY QUICKLY.

THIS IS THE 3RD ACCIDENT I HAVE BEEN IN RELATED TO THE TOYOTA CAMRY 2007 BRAKING SYSTEM FAILING. IN EACH INSTANCE, I HAD BEEN GOING LESS THAN 35MPH IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD TO PRESS DOWN REALLY HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT DOESN'T COME TO A COMPLETE STOP UNTIL 20-30 SECONDS LATE. THE BRAKE DOES NOT REDUCE THE CAR SPEED LIKE IT SHOULD BE TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT FROM HAPPENING. IN ADDITION TO THIS, I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN I BRAKE THERE IS VIBRATION AND THE CAR SHAKES WHEN TRYING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ON TOP ON THIS, THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELS AS IF IT IS GETTING STUCK AND I HAVE TO PRESS DOWN REALLY HARD BEFORE I CAN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS VERY FRIGHTENING AND I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR.
