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.

Electrical system, Sep 18, 2014
ONE DAY AFTER TOYOTA REPLACED MY REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS, I WAS DRIVING WHEN SUDDENLY THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIT UP, THE SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO, THE TACHOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO, AND THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE FLUTTERED BETWEEN ZERO AND MIDRANGE. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE LASTED ONLY A MINUTE OR TWO, BUT ON THE NEXT MORNING IT HAPPENED TWICE, EACH OCCURRENCE LASTING SEVERAL MINUTES. IT WAS VERY DISCONCERTING TO BE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOT HAVE A WORKING SPEEDOMETER AND NOT KNOW IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES, SINCE BOTH THE BRAKE AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS WERE LIT. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA THAT MORNING AND IT TOOK THEM 4 DAYS TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, COMING TO THE CONCLUSION WITH HELP FROM TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS THAT IT MUST BE THE ABS COMPUTER. IT COSTS $1800 PLUS THEY ARE CHARGING ME 8 HOURS OF LABOR (EVEN THOUGH THEY SPENT SEVERAL DAYS TRYING TO DIAGNOSE IT) FOR A TOTAL OF $2700. WHEN MY WIFE FOUND OUT HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST, SHE GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND IN A SECOND THERE WERE OTHER IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS MENTIONING THE ABS COMPUTER REPLACEMENT. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY CAR GETS STICKY FROM THE HEAT AND CANNOT BE CLEANED OR TREATED. DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF DAY AND THE DIRECTION OF THE SUN IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD BECAUSE OF THE GLARE OFF OF THE GLOSSY/STICKY DASHBOARD. I THOUGHT THIS WAS UNIQUE TO ME UNTIL I PERFORMED AN INTERNET SEARCH. WHEN I CALLED THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN FORT WORTH, TX, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT. I THEN CONTACTED A TRIM SHOP WHO TOLD ME THAT THEY HEAR ABOUT IT ALL OF THE TIME. I THINK TOYOTA NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM SO THAT IT IS SAFE FOR MY FAMILY TO DRIVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND HELP IN FINDING A SOLUTION. *TR

WE BOUGHT THIS 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID IN JANUARY 2007. I STARTED NOTICING THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO GET STICKY AND SHINY. I'VE NEVER USED ANY HARSH CHEMICALS OR ANY CHEMICALS USED TO CLEAN THE DASHBOARD. THE REST OF THE CAR IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF BUT AS THE YEARS WENT BY, THE DASHBOARD HAS JUST GOTTEN WORSE. I BEGAN DOING RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT OTHERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. MANY HAVE BEEN TOLD IT'S NOT PART OF THE WARRANTY. I BELIEVE IT'S A MANUFACTURE'S DEFECT. NOT ONLY IS IT DIRTY LOOKING, IT ALSO HAS A SHINE TO IT AND THAT HAS POTENTIAL TO BE VERY DANGEROUS. ESPECIALLY ON A BRIGHT SUNNY DAY, THE SHINE FROM THE DASHBOARD REFLECTS UP TO THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AND THE SAME ISSUE ARISES WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. *TR

VEHICLE SERVICED 3/10/10 UNDER TOYOTA 90L RECALL CAMPAIGN. DEALERSHIP STATED ALL SYSTEMS FUNCTIONAL UPON COMPLETION. ON 5/21/14, IN SAFE ROAD CONDITIONS AND PARKING LOT SPEEDS <10 MPH, DRIVER APPLIED BRAKES TO VEHICLE IN ORDER TO PULL INTO PARKING SPOT. DURING BRAKING, VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW OR STOP, BUT ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, STRIKING A PARKING BERM AND THREE OTHER VEHICLES. POLICE REPORT MADE; DRIVER NOT CITED BUT WAS ADVISED TO CONTACT TOYOTA RE BRAKE FAILURE AND ACCELERATION. TOYOTA WAS CONTACTED; INSPECTION WAS MADE BY BOSCH ENGINEERING. TOYOTA CONTENDS THE INCIDENT IS NOT A RESULT OF ANY MANUFACTURING DEFECT. TOYOTA PROVIDED A TECHNICAL REPORT CONTAINING ENGINEERING DATA WITHOUT LAYMAN'S EXPLANATION OR PROOF OF ITS CONTENTION. TOYOTA WAS FOUND BY THE DOJ TO HAVE MISLED CONSUMERS AND THE GOVT REGARDING SEVERITY AND "RESOLUTION: OF THIS ISSUE. ON 8/21/14 AND 8/22/14 DRIVER WAS CONTACTED BY TOYOTA WITH A SECOND AND SEPARATE RECALL NOTICE #E0U, AFFECTING THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE RESERVOIRS, IN WHICH CLOGGING AND/OR LOW FLUID LEVELS "COULD CAUSE ADDITIONAL WARNING LAMPS[...]TO ILLUMINATE AND FRONT BRAKE ASSIST COULD BE TEMPORARILY LOST." THE WARNING LAMP IN QUESTION DID ILLUMINATE DURING THE 5/21 INCIDENT. LEGAL COUNSEL FOR DRIVER HAS ADVISED AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF THE BOSCH REPORT AND INSPECTION OF THE BRAKE RESERVOIR; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND SOLD AT AUCTION BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY'S SALVAGE AGENT. I HAVE INITIATED AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF THE BOSCH REPORT AT MY OWN EXPENSE. IN LIGHT OF TOYOTA'S MISLEADING CONDUCT REGARDING RECALL CAMPAIGN 90L AND THE SUBSEQUENT RECALL #E0U, DRIVER CONTENDS THAT TOYOTA IS AT FAULT FOR THE EVENTS OF 5/21/14.
