Toyota Motor Company (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 Tundra, Sequoia, Corolla, Corolla Matrix and Scion xB, 2008-2011 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid, 2007 Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2009 Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2006-2011 RAV4, 2006-2010 Yaris, and 2009-2010 Scion xD and Pontiac Vibe vehicles. During the manufacturing of the Power Window Master Switch (PWMS), grease lubricant may have been inconsistently applied to the sliding electrical contacts.
If the sliding electrical contacts are not protected by lubricant, debris and moisture that get into the switch may cause a short circuit and the switch assembly may overheat and melt, increasing the risk of a fire.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the switch, applying a lubricant if no abnormality is found. If abnormality is found, the PWMS circuit board will be replaced, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 20, 2015. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is C0M.

Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) is recalling certain models interspersed through model years 2009 through 2013 as follows: model year 2009-2012 Tacoma, 4Runner, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Prius, and RAV4; model year 2009-2010 Avalon, FJ Cruiser, and Highlander Hybrid; model year 2010-2013 model year Corolla, Sienna and Tundra; model year 2009-2013 Highlander and Venza; model year 2012 Prius V; and model year 2010-2012 Sequoia. During modification by SET to include accessories such as leather seat covers, seat heaters or headrest DVD systems, these vehicles may not have had the passenger seat occupant sensing system calibration tested. Without passing the calibration test, the occupant sensing system may not operate as designed.
If the front passenger seat occupant sensing system is out of calibration, the front passenger airbags may not deploy or they may deploy inappropriately for the passenger's size and position. This could increase the risk of personal injury during the event of a vehicle crash necessitating airbag deployment.
Southeast Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will test the sensitivity of the occupant detection sensors, and recalibrate them as necessary. The recall began on March 21, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859.

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.

THE DASHBOARD TO MY CAMRY IS VERY STICKY. I LIVE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND THE GLARE ON THE WIND SHIELD CAUSED BY THE MELTING DASHBOARD IS SO BAD I HAVE TO LEAN TO MY RIGHT WHILE DRIVING IN ORDER TO SEE BETTER. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I NEED SOME INFORMATION ASAP ON GETTING THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. IT'S A SHAME THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT CORRECT THIS ISSUE. HOW MANY ACCIDENTS/DEATHS HAVE TO OCCUR BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE!?

MOONROOF EXPLODED WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SAN MATEO BRIDGE. IMMEDIATELY HEARD WIND NOISE COMING FROM THE MOONROOF (THE SHADE FORTUNATELY WAS DRAWN). I SAW NO OBVIOUS GRAVEL ON THE BRIDGE AND NO VEHICLES IN MY IMMEDIATE VICINITY THAT MIGHT ACCOUNT FOR IT. THOUGHT FOR A SECOND THAT SOMETHING DROPPED OFF A LANDING PLANE AND REALIZED THAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD HAVE EASILY PUNCHED THROUGH THE SHADE. I EXAMINED THE DAMAGE LESS THAN TEN MINUTES LATER WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION. SAW SHATTERED GLASS AND A HOLE THAT WAS ALMOST CENTERED. FOUND NO MARKS ON THE TOP SIDE OF THE SHADE TO INDICATE AN OBJECT HITTING. THE EDGES OF THE HOLE TILTED UPWARDS. TEMPERATURE AT THE TIME IS ESTIMATED TO BE LOW 60S, SUNNY, AND NO DISCERNIBLE WIND. INSIDE TEMP WAS SET AT 67 OR 68 AND THE FAN WAS SET ON THE LOW 2 SETTING. MY HUSBAND EXAMINED THE CAR WHEN I RETURNED HOME ABOUT 3 1/2 HOURS LATER. HE SEARCHED THROUGH THE SHATTERED GLASS AND FOUND NO OBJECTS. HE TESTED THE TILTED EDGE TO SEE WHAT FLEXIBILITY IT HAD WHEN I ASKED IF AIR FLOW MIGHT HAVE DISTORTED THE OPENING IN THE GLASS. IT WAS QUITE STIFF AND HE SAID THAT WAS UNLIKELY. HE (PHD IN ENGINEERING) CONCLUDED THAT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF AN OBJECT AND COMMENTED THE MOONROOF APPEARED AS IF IT SHATTERED UPWARDS DUE TO STRUCTURAL STRESS. I HAVE A NUMBER OF PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE, ONE TAKEN 10 MINUTES AFTERWARDS, THE REST WHEN I RETURNED HOME. THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE IS HOLDING ON TO THE ROCK THEORY. *TR

Electronic stability control (ESC), Service brakes, Visibility/wiper, Dec 4, 2014
I HAVE 2 COMPLAINTS. 1) I WAS DRIVING IN LOCAL TRAFFIC WHEN 5 WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED: MASTER WARNING LIGHT, BRAKE WARNING LIGHT, ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE WARNING, ABS, SLIP INDICATOR. I WAS SURPRISED BUT MY BRAKES CONTINUED TO WORK ON THE DRIVE HOME & TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. THE LIGHTS NEVER WENT OFF (SOME OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE LIGHTS GO ON & OFF). I DO NOT HAVE COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS (50S IN DEC). THE DEALERSHIP INVESTIGATED & FOUND IT WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE PROBLEM COVERED BY THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM (POL14-04 OR NHTSA 14001) FOR THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY & SKID CONTROL ECU/BRAKE PEDAL STROKE SENSOR, & ALSO AN OPEN RECALL ON MY CAR FOR A SEPARATE ITEM WITH MY BRAKES. MY CAR SYMPTOMS WERE: WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT, THE CAR WOULD ROLL FORWARD BY INCHES UNLESS I HAD MY FOOT FIRMLY DEPRESSED (KNEE LOCKED); NOISES WHICH SOUNDED LIKE AIR MOVING THROUGH TUBING WHILE BRAKING; NOISES THAT SOUNDED LIKE A "PUMP" ACTIVATING AFTER MY CAR HAD BEEN TURNED OFF (UP TO 15 MINUTES). 2) TOYOTA HAS AN OPEN EXTENDED WARRANTY (CSC 10046281-9238) ON THE SUN VISOR ASSEMBLY & SUN VISOR BRACKET INCLUDING THE 2009 CAMRY HYBRID. MY CAR HAS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM FOR ~4 YEARS: THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT FULLY GO UP & REMAIN THERE. MOST OF THE TIME IT RESTS HALFWAY DOWN BUT FROM TIME TO TIME IT WILL COME DOWN WITH NO WARNING. THIS BLOCKS THE DRIVER'S FIELD OF VISION. WHAT IS FRUSTRATING IS THAT I SPOKE TO BOTH THE DEALERSHIP & THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER WHO BOTH AGREE MY PROBLEM SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THE PART NUMBER FOR MY CAR (74320-33C11-B0) IS NOT LISTED AMONG THE ACCEPTED PARTS NUMBER, AND MY VIN DOESN'T MATCH THE LISTED VINS. I HOPE CORPORATE TOYOTA WILL LOOK INTO THIS AND EXTEND ME THE COURTESY OF REPAIRING MY SUN VISOR! (DEALER COST ~$250). *TR
