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.

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.

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 WAS DRIVING AT ~35 MPH TOWARD AN INTERSECTION OF STOPPED CARS. I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO BEGIN TO STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT SOFT AND PUSHED TO THE FLOOR, WITH LITTLE OR NO SLOWING OF THE VEHICLE. AT THE SAME TIME THE DASHBOARD LIT UP A LOT OF WARNING LIGHTS, I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO CHECK THE WARNING LIGHTS. I SWERVED INTO THE TURN LANE WHERE THERE WERE NO CARS AND BEGAN TO MAKE A WIDE LEFT. I AGAIN BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKES, THIS TIME THE BRAKES WORKED. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND PARKED. THE WARNING SCREEN SAID SOMETHING LIKE "CHECK VCS SYSTEM". "BRAKES" WARNING LIGHT AND "ABS" WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED WITH OTHERS WHICH I DID NOT TAKE NOTE OF. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND CALLED FOR A TOW TO THE TOYOTA DEALER. TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AGAIN SHOWED NO WARNINGS. *TR

DRIVING ON THE ROAD, EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL, THEN MY ENTIRE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP WITH ALL THE WARNING SIGNS. THE INTERNAL CAR DISPLAYS VSC MAINTENANCE REQUIRED, AND I'M THINKING I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. I JUST GOT THE CAR THIS YEAR. THERE SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. THE BRAKES WERE VERY HARD TO PRESS DOWN ON TO EVEN BRAKE. I FEE LIKE THE BRAKES JUST STOPPED WORKING OR THE BRAKE ITSELF WOULD LET ME BRAKE AS NORMAL. LITTLE SHOCKED BECAUSE I'D HAD CRASH INTO THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME. I STARTED TO DRIVE VERY SLOW. THEN THE LIGHTS AND WARNING SIGNS WENT AWAY, AND MY BRAKES WERE BACK TO NORMAL. I FELT LIKE IT WAS JUST A COMPUTER GLITCH AND STARTED TO DRIVE NORMALLY AGAIN. AFTER I DID, THE CAR AGAIN WENT OFF WITH THE WARNING SIGNS ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE VSC DISPLAY WAS ON AGAIN STATING MAINTENANCE WAS REQUIRED ONE AGAIN. SO I STARTED TO DRIVE SLOW ONCE AGAIN. WENT TO A REPAIR SHOP THEY SAID MY BRAKES WERE GOOD, AND THAT THE CAR PROBABLY NEEDED TO GET IT CHECK BECAUSE OF THE HYBRID SYSTEM. THIS ONLY HAPPEN DURING THE SUMMER. DURING THE WINTER IT GOES OFF, TO WHICH I STILL FELT LIKE IT WAS A COMPUTER GLITCH. WENT TO THE DEALER RECENTLY AND THEY SAID THAT MY ACCUMULATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACE. I ASKED HOW DOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS OCCUR. THE MECHANIC STATED SOMEWHERE IN THE LINES OF IT'S A MAN MADE PART SO IT'S CAN HAPPEN FROM TIME TO TIME. BUT IN MY OPINION, IF I DID EVERYTHING LIKE I WAS SUPPOSE TO DO, THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. THE TOTAL REPAIR FOR THE PART IS $1892! THAT'S WITH LABOR INCLUDED! SERIOUSLY, WHY DOES A PART THAT IS SO IMPORTANT TO THE CAR THAT EXPENSIVE?! AND WHY DOESN'T TOYOTA REPORT ON THIS TECHNICAL ISSUE FOR THEIR CARS? *TR
