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.

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.

FRONT END MAKING RUBBING AND CLICKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE WITH THE WHEEL TURNED; DOES NOT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING FORWARD AND DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN THE WHEELS ARE STRAIGHT. I'VE HAD IT IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. BOTH TIMES THEY SAY THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE PLASTIC WHEEL WELL RUBBING. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED A BOLT AND NOW THEY HAVE REMOVED ONE OF THE COVERS. WHILE TRYING TO DETERMINE WHERE THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE FRONT STRUTS WERE DISCOVERED AS LEAKING. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE STRUTS ARE LEAKING AND THEY AGREED. WHEN ASKED IF THIS WAS NORMAL FOR A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 50,123 MILES I WAS TOLD "IT IS NOT COMMON, BUT NOT UNHEARD OF." THIS WAS THE EXACT SAME ANSWER I WAS GIVEN FOR MY CRACKED AND LEAKING BATTERY WHICH WAS DISCOVERED THE FIRST TIME I HAD IT IN FOR THE NOISE. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACED THE STRUTS IN A NEW VEHICLE BEFORE...WHY SHOULD TOYOTA CAMRY'S BE ANY DIFFERENT? IT APPEARS THIS IS A DEFECT THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT WANT TO OWN UP TO. WANTS $850 TO REPLACE THE FRONT PARTS ONLY. WHO DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM WHILE ROTATING AND BALANCING MY TIRES, WANTS $600 TO REPLACE THE FRONT PARTS ONLY, BUT SUGGESTS THE BACK BE DONE AT THE SAME TIME FOR EVEN WHERE ON ALL FOUR SIDES.

I RECENTLY PURCHASE A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY SE. SOON AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM TOYOTA OF SANFORD, LOCATED IN NC, I NOTICE MY TIRES WERE CUPPING AND MAKING A LOT OF NOISE. I BOUGHT NEW TIRES AND THE NOISE STOPPED. JUST RECENTLY I TOOK THE CAR TO MIDAS TO HAVE A BRAKE JOB. WHILE THE MECHANIC HAD THE CAR ON THE LIFT, HE OBSERVED THAT THE REAR STRUTS WERE LEAKING FLUID AND ADVISED ME TO CONTACT TOYOTA. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY OF THESE NEW CAMRYS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR ONLY HAS 51000 MILES ON IT AND I THINK THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THIS PROBLEM AND ISSUE A RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. I WORK VERY HARD EVERY DAY TO PROVIDE FOR MY FAMILY AND PAY MY BILLS AND FEEL THAT IT IS A SHAME FOR ME TO SPEND TWENTY-THOUSAND DOLLARS ON A VEHICLE THAT STARTS TO FALL APART WITHIN TWO YEARS.
