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.

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 FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,100.

UNDER NORMAL USE, BOTH SUN VISORS AT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WON'T STAY UP. BOTH VISOR STAYED AT FULLY DOWN POSITION, BLOCKED VISION AND IMPACTED DRIVING VISIBILITY. (DRIVER SIDE VISOR HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES). THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW OF TOYOTA CAMRY 2008 VISORS. *TR

THE SUN VISOR AT THE DRIVER SIDE SUDDENLY FELL OFF AND BLOCKED THE VISION. IT DIDN'T STICK TO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION. FINALLY I HAVE TO TAKE IT OFF AS IT WAS BLOCKING THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. *TT

MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT I PRUCHES FOUR MONTHS AGO WITH ONLY 31000 MILES, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FLIPPES DOWN WHILE DRIVING BLOCKING MY VIEW. SO I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE AT FIRST THEY DIDNT WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM, SAYING IT WASNT COVER UNDER MY WARRENTY, BUT WITH SOME HELP FROM ONE OF THE MANGER CALLING THE WARRENTY COMPANY THEY WANT AHEAD AND REPLACE BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER. *TT

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FAILED WHEN MOVED TO THE DOWN POSITION AND FLOPPED AROUND. HAD TO REPLACE AT A COST OF $150. IT HAS BEEN 2 YEARS AND NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR HAS FAILED AND WILL NOT FULLY OPEN. PASSENGER SIDE IS RARELY USED AND NEITHER SIDE WAS MISHANDLED. BOTH BROKE DURING NORMAL USAGE AND OPENING. *JS

THE SUN VISOR HAD BEEN FLOPPING DOWN A BIT FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF FEW WEEKS, THEN IT JUST QUIT GRIPPING THE SHAFT THAT KEEPS IT IN THE "NON-USE' POSITION -I.E. VISOR HORIZONTAL PARALLEL TO ROOF - SO THAT IT WAS HANGING DOWN PERPENDICULAR TO THE ROOF PLANE, BLOCKING VISION OUT THE FRONT OF THE CAR. IT HAS NOT STAYED UP SINCE. RESEARCH ONLINE HAS PROVEN TO ME THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THESE MODEL YEAR (AND 2007 MODEL YEAR) CAMRYS AND THEY DO REPRESENT A DRIVING HAZARD, PARTICULARLY IF AND WHEN THEY FLOP DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE IN HEAVY, URBAN TRAFFIC AND THE LIKE. *JS
Visibility, Jun 19, 2012
THE SUN VISOR FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER BECAME LOOSE AT NO FAULT TO THE CONSUMERS AND IT WON'T STAY UP. WHEN MY CAR WAS IN WARRANTY THE DEALER "FIX" THE PROBLEM BUT IT BROKE AGAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT BLOCKS MY VIEW BECAUSE THE SUN VISOR KEEPS PROPPING BACK DOWN. WHEN I ASK THE DEALER TO FIX IT AGAIN, THEY WANTED 120 DOLLARS TO FIX EACH SUN VISOR! READING OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINTS, IT SEEMS ALL THE MODEL OF CAMRY FROM 2007- 2011 HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS...YET NO FIX FROM TOYOTA. TOYOTA QUALITY= DECLINING. IT SEEMS LIKE TOYOTA AND THE DEALERSHIP IS MAKING MONEY OFF OF DEFECTS AND REFUSAL TO COMMIT TO QUALITY CONTROL TO SUN VISOR. REMINDS ME AND OTHERS OF THE "UNINTENTIONAL" ACCELERATION THAT TOYOTA REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LED TO DEATHS AND INJURY UNTIL THE C.E.O OF TOYOTA GOT QUESTIONED BY CONGRESS. ONLY THEN, TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM. IN THAT CASE THE ACCELERATION WOULD BECOME "STUCK" CAUSING THE CAR TO ACCELERATES. LAST CAR I WOULD BUY FROM TOYOTA UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED FREE OF CHARGES TO ALL CUSTOMERS. HONDA, HYUNDAI, FORD, GM ANYONE? *JS

SUN VISOR BROKE AND WOULD NOT STAY UP. OBSTRUCTS FIELD OF VISION. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME A VISOR HAS BROKE ON THIS VEHICLE AND SEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. NO UNDUE STRESS WAS PUT ON THE VISOR. DISCUSSED WITH THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AT TOYOTA AND THEY ADMITTED THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

MY DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO. I WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE IT. IT WAS ABOUT $160 TO GET THE PART AND INSTALLED. I BOUGHT IT ON EBAY FOR UNDER $100 AND INSTALLED IT MYSELF. IT WASN'T DIFFICULT AND TOOK UNDER 5 MINUTES TO DO. NOW, THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE IN THE SAME SPOT THE OTHER VISOR DID. HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? I HAD MY LAST CAR FOR 10 YEARS AND THE VISORS NEVER BROKE AND MY HUSBAND HAS A TOYOTA FROM 2007 AND IT HASN'T BROKEN. THIS IS DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT. *TR

WHILE ADJUSTING THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR THE VISOR BROKE AND WOULD NO LONGER STAY UP IN EITHER POSITION. IT JUST DANGLED DOWN AND SEVERELY RESTRICTED THE DRIVER'S VISION. THERE WAS NO WAY TO TEMPORARILY FIX THE VISOR TO MAKE THE CAR SAFE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP, AND REPAIR NECESSITATED REPLACING THE ENTIRE VISOR AT A COST OF $140. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CAMRYS AND THE REPAIR COST COULD DETER PEOPLE FROM REPLACING THE VISOR, RESULTING IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS VISIBILITY IS VERY POOR WITH THE VISOR DANGLING DOWN IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER. *TR
