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.

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.

ON 3/4/15 I HAD AN OIL CHANGE AT CONRAD'S. ON 3/11/15 I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO TOYOTA FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. AT THIS TIME THEY ASKED WHEN MY LAST OIL CHANGE WAS AND I STATED 3/4/15. THEY SAID THEY TYPICALLY LIKE TO PERFORM THE OIL CHANGE BEFORE THE TEST BUT THAT OIL CHANGE WAS RECENT ENOUGH TO USE. WHEN THEY CHECKED MY OIL THEY SAID MY CAR ARRIVED WITH NO OIL READING ON THE DIPSTICK AND THAT IT WAS MORE THAN ONE QUART LOW ON OIL. I EXPLAINED HOW COULD THAT BE I HAVE NO OIL IN MY DRIVEWAY OR ANYWHERE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THEY WOULD NEED TO DO AN OIL CHANGE OR THEY COULDN'T DO THE TEST. I CALLED CONRAD'S THEY STATED THAT IS NOT TRUE AND IT'S THERE WORD AGAINST TOYOTA. I HAD TOYOTA PERFORM THE OIL CHANGE AND THEY ALSO SEALED THE ENGINE OFF FOR THE TEST. ON 4/22/15 I RETURNED AS I HAD REACHED 1200 MILES SINCE THE START OF THE TEST. AT THAT POINT THEY STATED MY CAR PASSED AND THE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS GOOD. IN JUNE I WAS HEADED OUT OF TOWN AND THE OIL LIGHT FLASHED ON AS I EXITED THE HIGHWAY. AT THAT POINT WE ADDED TWO QUARTS OF OIL. NOW IT IS 8-5-15 AND MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND THE ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING. WE ADDED TWO QUARTS OF OIL BUT IT'S TOO LATE. THE NOISE COMING FROM INSIDE THE ENGINE DID NOT STOP. CALLED TOYOTA TODAY AND TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE SAID I COULD BRING IT IN TO BE LOOKED AT. I WILL HAVE TO TOW IT UP THERE AS I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S DRIVABLE. NEXT OIL CHANGE WAS 9-7-15 OR 92481 MILES. CURRENT MILAGE 94014. IT APPEARS THAT THE CAR IS BURNING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL EVEN THOUGH TOYOTA CLAIMS IT PASSED THE TEST.
Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Service brakes, Aug 5, 2015
THE PRIMARY SAFETY CONCERNS REGARDING MY COMPLAINT ARE A MALFUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER AND A MALFUNCTIONING ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM; HOWEVER, THERE ARE OTHERS, WHICH I WILL DESCRIBE. WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT COMPLETELY CRAZY. SPECIFICALLY, THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO (AS I WAS DRIVING 40MPH) THE TACHOMETER STARTED BOUNCING UP AND DOWN BETWEEN 0 AND 2 OR 3, THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON. THEN, EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL BEFORE I COULD PULL OVER. I SOON REALIZED ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS LIKE THE TEMP GAUGE GOING LIMP AND THE AIR CONDITIONER BLOWING HOT AIR ALONG WITH OTHER THINGS. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED ALL TOGETHER BUT ON AND OFF AT RANDOM INTERVALS. I DID SOME RESEARCH, WHICH LED ME TO THE ABS ISSUE. ACCORDING TO OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THE REPAIR IS $2K-$3K AND MANY HAD STORIES OF DEALERS MAKING VARIOUS COSTLY REPAIRS THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I WORK FOR MINIMUM WAGE, THIS IS MY ONLY CAR, AND IT IS 110 DEGREES IN MY TOWN. DRIVING WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONING HERE IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ONE PERSON SUGGESTED UNPLUGGING THE FAULTY ABS MODULE TO REGAIN AIR CONDITIONING. WHEN I DID THIS THE AIR CONDITIONING DID IN FACT START WORKING ALONG WITH THE TACHOMETER AND TEMP GAUGE. THE SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, AND SEAT BELT ALARM STILL DO NOT WORK. FURTHERMORE, THIS IS NO LONGER INTERMITTENT BUT CONSTANT AND THE BRAKE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALL REMAIN ON. AN ABS MALFUNCTION COULD BE DISASTROUS IN WET WEATHER. THE LACK OF A SPEEDOMETER IS A SAFETY PROBLEM ON CITY ROADS FOR OBVIOUS REASONS AND NOT TO FORGET THE SEAT BELT ALARM OR THE ODOMETER, WHICH NO LONGER LOGS THE MILEAGE. MY 2007 CAMRY HAD LOW MILES FOR ITS AGE (<70K) WHEN THESE PROBLEMS FIRST OCCURRED; THE CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED AND WELL MAINTAINED. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM THOSE WITH THE VERY SAME PROBLEMS AND IT SEEMS LIKE A FAULTY PRODUCT IS TO BLAME.

WHEN DRIVING CAME UP THE ABS, BRAKE AND ENGINE LIGHTS. WHEN I CHECK WITH A TOYOTA DEALER, THEY INFORMED THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE ACTUATOR ASSY BRAKE (COST OF $2,251.44 INSTALLED). LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THE DANGER OF THE SITUATION FOUND THAT THE CAMRY HYBRID 2007 HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND TOYOTA AGREED TO EXTEND A 10 YEAR GUARANTEE OR 150K MILES UNTIL 2017. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS NOT VIABLE FOR ME NOW, AND CANNOT USE THE CAR, GIVEN THE SAFETY ISSUES INVOLVED.

MY CAR STARTED USING OIL AT 115,000-123,000 MILES. I TOOK IT IN 2-3 MONTHS AGO AND TOYOTA PERFORMED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. MY CAR USED 1.6 QUARTS OF OIL DURING THAT TIME, IT DID NOT HAVE ANY EXTERNAL LEAKS WHEN THEY PERFORMED THIS TEST. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL AND THIS MUCH OIL CONSUMPTION IS NORMAL. USING THE MUCH OIL IS NOT NORMAL AND IT WAS NOT USING OIL BEFORE THE 115,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD SINCE IT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL THAT IF I WANTED THE VALVE SEALS REPAIRED IT WOULD BE UNDER MY EXPENSE. THIS IS NOT A NEW COMPLAINT ABOUT THE 2007 CAMRY AND THE INTERNET HAS NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS HAVING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND SOME WERE WORSE THAN MINE. TOYOTA SHOULD OWN UP TO THIS DEFECT AND FIX IT.

DASHBOARD RECAL AS THE TITLE APTLY SUGGESTS, MY CAMRY'S DASHBOARD HAS MELTED DUE TO THE EXTREME HEAT. MY WINDSHIELD HAS NO TINT AND I SOMETIMES FORGET TO PUT UP THE WINDSHIELD FOIL COVER WHEN I PARK. THE DASHBOARD NOW FEELS VERY STICKY AND WHEN I LEAVE THE CAR UNDER THE SUN FOR A LONG STRETCH, I CAN ACTUALLY RUB OFF SOME OF THE DASHBOARD'S RUBBER COATING SURFACE IF I TOUCH IT. IT ALSO HAS SEVERAL SCRATCHES DUE TO ACCIDENTAL HITS FROM FINGERNAILS AND SUCH, AND A LOT OF SCRATCHES FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD FOIL COVER (YES, THE DASHBOARD IS NOW THAT SOFT). I'M AFRAID TO APPLY ANYTHING ON IT AS THIS MIGHT JUST MAKE ITS CONDITION WORSE. MY LAST OPTION IS TO USE A DASHBOARD COVER TO HIDE THE SCRATCHES AND PREVENT THE DASHBOARD FROM GETTING DAMAGED FURTHER. MY CONCERNS WITH THIS OPTION ARE: WHERE DO I BUY A GOOD/DECENT-LOOKING DASHBOARD COVER FOR MY CAR? (MY DASHBOARD IS COLOR BLACK). I'M BASED IN FORT BUCHANAN, GUAYNABO AND WOULD THIS GET IN THE WAY OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG? ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS ASIDE FROM MY IDEA ABOVE, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO EXPRESS THEM.
