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. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON FEBRUARY 5, 2010 AND WILL BE COMPLETED ON MARCH 15, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331.

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.

HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION FOR OVER 1.5 YEARS
Engine, Jan 11, 2016
WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY, APPROX. 50 MPH, MY CAR ENGINE QUIT RUNNING WITH NO UNUSUAL NOISE, NO WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATORS. OIL WAS GONE, BUT THE OIL INDICATOR LIGHT HAD NOT LIGHTED. NO WARNING TO QUIT DRIVING BEFORE ENGINE DAMAGE WAS EXPERIENCED. THE ENGINE HAS NOT BEEN DISASSEMBLED FOR DEFINITIVE DIAGNOSIS, BUT TWO AUTO REPAIR SHOPS, ONE BEING A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER SERVICE DEPT., HAVE INDICATED THAT THE ENGINE MUST BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS KNOCKING LOUDLY AND THE BEARINGS ARE PROBABLY OVERHEATED AND "WELDED" TO THE PART SURROUNDING THEM. I LEARNED FROM TOYOTA CORP. ABOUT THEIR "EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION" EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM, BUT THEY ARE REFUSING TO STAND BEHIND THIS DEFECT IN MY CAR AND REFUSE TO PERFORM REPAIRS AT THEIR COST. MY ENGINE BURNED UP BECAUSE THE OIL WAS DEPLETED WITHIN A TWO MONTH PERIOD - THIS HAPPENED ON 12/28/15, AND I HAD TOPPED OFF THE OIL IN OCTOBER WITH 2.5 QTS, AND THE REMAINING OIL WAS CLEAN. TOYOTA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT A HIGHLY ABNORMAL EVENT HAS OCCURRED WITH MY CAR, GAVE ME NO WARNING TO ACT IN A SAFE MANNER, AND LED TO ENGINE FAILURE WITH REPAIRS ESTIMATED $5,300 - $7,600.

I BOUGHT THIS CAMRY 08 LAST YEAR AT 43000 MILES ON IT, WHEN I DRIVE IT ON THE FREEWAY OR CITY ROAD , THE FRONT END WAS BOUNCE EXESSIVELY AND NOT REALLY STABLE. AFTER I DO THE INSPECTION AND CHECK THE STRUT, THE FRONT RIGHT STRUT NEED REPLACEMENT (IT'S BOUNCING A LOT WHEN I PUSH IT DOWN AND RELEASE). MY COMPLAINT IS WHY IT FAIL FOR ONLY 45000 MILES?. IS THIS SUPPOSE TO BE A RECALL FOR REPLACEMENT?. BECAUSE IT INVOLVE SAFETY DRIVING. AND I READ, THERE 30 COMPLAINTS ALREADY ABOUT THIS SUSPENSION.

HOWEVER, LATER THE CAR BEGAN PULLING TO THE LEFT, WHENEVER I DROVE ON A SIDE STREET, THE PULLING WAS NOT THERE ON THE FREEWAY. THINGS CHANGED ON THIS PAST SUNDAY, ON MY WAY TO TAKE MY GRANDCHILDREN HOME FROM CHURCH THE STEERING WHEEL WAS UNCONTROLLABLE AND THE CAR PULLED SHARPLY TO THE LEFT AND I DECIDED TO PULL OFF THE STREET, I WAS AFRAID TO CONTINUE DRIVING BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO PUT MY GRANDCHILDREN IN ANY FURTHER DANGER. I HAD TO CALL MY DAUGHTER TO COME PICK US UP. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO GET A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHEEL THEY ASSURED ME THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM.

I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I JUST WANTED TO VENT MY FEELING ON THE PROBLEM. TOYOTA ISSUED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTICE CONCERNING THE SUN VISOR ASSEMBLY. THE NOTICE GAVE YOU 7 YEARS FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE WHICH SEEM LIKE A LONG TIME. THEY STATED ONLY TO BRING IT IN IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. I DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM UNTIL 9 MONTHS PASS THE 7 YEARS. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VISOR FELL DOWN BLOCKING MY VIEW. I HAD TO REMOVE IT IN ORDER TO SEE THE ROAD. MY QUESTION IS WHY WAS THIS ISSUED AS A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTICE INSTEAD OF A RECALL. THEY MUST KNOW THAT CUSTOMERS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT SINCE THEY ISSUED THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTICE.
