Southeast Toyota is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2010-2013 Toyota Tundra, 2010-2012 Rav4, 2012 Toyota Sequoia, 2010-2011 Toyota Corolla, 2010-2011 Toyota Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2010-2013 Toyota Highlander and Highlander Hybrid, 2010-2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser, 2011 Toyota Land Cruiser, 2010-2013 Toyota Venza, 2010-2011 Toyota 4Runner, 2010-2013 Toyota Tacoma, 2011-2012 Toyota Sienna, 2012 Toyota Prius, 2013 Scion FR-S, 2011 Scion XD, 2011 Scion XB, and 2012 Scion TC vehicles. These vehicles were sold with labels that were outside the allowable one percent of accuracy of actual weight added. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) Number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

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 2005-2010 AVALON, MODEL YEAR 2007-2010 CAMRY, MODEL YEAR 2009-2010 COROLLA, COROLLA MATRIX, RAV4, MODEL YEAR 2010 HIGHLANDER, MODEL YEAR 2008-2010 SEQUOIA, AND MODEL YEAR 2007-2010 TUNDRA VEHICLES. 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.

MY 2010 CAMRY HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER A FEW TIMES. KNOW ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ACCELERATION SURGE I'M EXPERIENCING. I CONTACTED TOYOTA DIRECTLY. THEY SENT ME TO DIFFERENT DEALER. DEALER HAD IT FOR A DAY AND SAID THE SAME THING "CAN'T DUPLICATE" I THINK THEY HAVE ALL BEEN SCHOOLED TO SAY THIS. I HAD THE SERVICE MANAGER RIDE WITH ME AND TOLD HIM TO WATCH THE RPM DIAL WHEN I GO TO STOP. HE SAW THE RPM DIAL MOVE UP TO ALMOST 2000 WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE. HE HAD ME DRIVE ANOTHER 2010 CAMRY AND IT DID THE SAME THING. I HAD A 98 AVALON AND A 03 CAMRY THAT DID NOT DO THIS. HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS IS THE WAY THESE NEW CARS DOWN SIFT AND IT'S DIFFERENT THAN THE OLDER TOYOTA'S. HE ASSURED ME THAT MY CAR IS SAFE AND I HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. AFTER READING ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS HERE I'M NOT 100% SOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL DOWN SIFTING. I THINK I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS TO ARBITRATION. I HATE TO DO THIS BECAUSE I LOVE MY NEW CAR...I'M JUST REALLY NERVOUS DRIVING IT. *TR
Power train, Mar 18, 2010
MY CARS TRANSMISSION SHIFTING IS VERY ROUGH AND "CLUNKY" WHEN COMING TO A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. MANY TIMES THE CAR WILL SEEM TO DOWNSHIFT RESULTING IN A STRONG PULLING (ALMOST A BRAKING SENSATION) PREVENTING A NORMAL COASTING TO A STOP SINCE, YOU NEED TO KEEP PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR TO COUNTERACT THE DOWNSHIFTING DURING A SLOW DOWN. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES. ALSO, CONVERSELY, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO PUSH THE CAR FORWARD IN THE FINAL BREAKING MOMENTS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING PATTERNS. I HAVE ALMOST BUMPED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN RECALIBRATED SEVERAL TIMES RESULTING IN A TEMPORARY FIX BUT, THE PROBLEM RETURNS, SOMETIMES IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS OF THE RECALIBRATING. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO MY EXPERIENCES OF NEAR ACCIDENTS WITH MY CAR. *TR

THE CAR DIDN'T STOP BECAUSE THE GAS PEDAL GOT STOCK AND THE BRAKES WOULDN'T WORK , IT OCCURRED ONCE , WHICH CAUSED THE ACCIDENT . PARTS WAS REPAIRED , I DON'T HAVE THE OLD PARTS OR THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS A RENTAL CAR ( 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY ) . *TR

TWO WEEKS BEFORE, I HAD TWO RECALL FIXES DONE FOR MY 2010 CAMRY (STICKY PEDAL, FLOOR MAT ENTRAPMENT). ALTHOUGH FOR THE INITIAL TWO DAYS, IT LOOKED LIKE MAYBE IT WORKED, SINCE THEN THE SAME OLD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR ARE PERSISTING. IN THE PAST, LEADING TO THE RECALL FIX, I HAD LODGED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS (INCLUDING ONE BEFORE THE GAS PEDAL RECALL ANNOUNCEMENT) WITH TOYOTA AND THEIR DEALER. MY CAR HAS A WEIRD TRANSMISSION AT SPEEDS 0-45MPH. THE BRAKING IS ALSO NOT SMOOTH AND IT DOES FEEL LIKE THE CAR IS FOR A SECOND NOT ACCELERATING WHEN IT SHOULD OR BRAKE WHEN IT SHOULD. AT THIS TIME, I HAVE GIVEN UP ON THIS AS IT SEEMS TO BE A WASTE OF TIME TRYING TO EXPLAIN MY POSITION AND GET IT FIXED. A SECOND ATTEMPT TO REACH OUT TO TOYOTA THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE (SINCE THEIR 1800 SUPPORT NUMBER KEEPS YOU WAITING FOREVER) - [INCIDENT: 100130-000604] ON 1/30. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA ON THIS. *TR

THIS HAS SINCE HAPPENED ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES. I TOOK IT TO METRO TOYOTA IN JANUARY AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. I COMPLAINED TO THE SERVICE MGR. WHO TEST DROVE THE CAR WITH ME & REPLICATED THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL FOR THE '10 CAMRY'S BECAUSE OF THE NEW 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION. I SAID I DID NOT THINK THIS WAS NORMAL & ASKED HIM TO REFER THE PROBLEM TO TOYOTA & CALL ME BACK. NOTHING EVER HAPPENED - SO IN FEB. I CALLED THE SERVICE MGR AGAIN WHO CALLED ME BACK A WEEK LATER & SAID THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THAT COULD BE DONE. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT HAS THE NEW SIX SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHEN I WAS COASTING TO SLOW DOWN THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO DISENGAGE AND DID NOT HOLD BACK ANYMORE. I CAME WITHIN A FOOT OF RUNNING INTO THE REAR OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHICH WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THIS HAD HAPPENED MANY TIMES BEFORE BUT NEVER THIS CLOSE TO AN ACCIDENT. WHEN THE CAR REACHES AROUND 20MPH THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T HOLD BACK ANY LONGER AND YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE HARD. IT IS NOT A GOOD FEELING. ON MAY 22, 2009 I CALLED THE SALESMAN AND HE TOLD ME TO COME IN AND DRIVE ANOTHER 2010 CAMRY TO SEE IF THAT TRANSMISSION ACTED THE SAME SINCE THIS WAS THE FIRST YEAR FOR THE NEW SIX SPEED AUTOMATIC. I TOOK IT IN ON THE 22ND AND THE SALESMAN AND I TOOK A NEW 2010 CAMRY OUT FOR A DRIVE AND IT ACTED THE SAME WAY. SO THE CONCLUSION WAS THAT ALL THE 2010 CAMRYS WERE THE SAME AND I WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. MY WIFE IS VERY LEARY ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR AND AFRAID SHE WILL RUN INTO SOMEONE. WE HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ACCELERATOR, BUT THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM.WE ARE VERY CONCERNED NOW THAT THE OTHER PROBLEMS HAVE ARISEN ABOUT THE CAMRY. *TR
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Jan 31, 2010
SINCE THE TIME I BOUGHT MY NEW 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY, I SAW ISSUES WITH THE WAY THE CAR TRANSMISSION WORKED AT SPEEDS FROM 0-50MPH. STARTING FROM THE FIRST WEEK OF MY USING THE CAR, I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES, ONLY TO BE SENT BACK AFTER A "TEST DRIVE" SAYING NOTHING IS WRONG. IN MY OWN LANGUAGE, I HAD BEEN EXPLAINING THE ISSUE WHICH NOW LOOKS EXACTLY SIMILAR TO THE 'STICKING GAS PEDAL" RECALL RECENTLY INFORMED BY TOYOTA. MY CAR WAS STILL ACCELERATING WHILE BRAKING, OR WOULD START BRAKING WHEN MY FOOT IS OFF THE ACCELERATOR. I ALSO USED TO FEEL A JERK WHEN THE CAR MOVED BETWEEN SPEEDS OF 0-50MPH. I COMMUTE 70 MILES DAILY TO WORK AND I HAVE NOTICED THIS DAILY TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE STARTED IGNORING OUT OF DEEP FRUSTRATION. THE DEALER TEST DRIVES AND CAUSES EMBARRASSMENT SAYING THEY CANNOT RECREATE MY ISSUE. I LOGGED AN INCIDENT WITH TOYOTA (091214-000053). IT LED TO MY FOURTH VISIT TO THE DEALER WITH THE SAME ANSWER. TOYOTA'S RESPONSE FROM A CASE MANAGER WAS THAT IF THEY CANNOT RECREATE THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. I ALMOST FEEL THIS IS A HOPELESS CASE AS I DON'T THINK NEITHER TOYOTA NOR THE DEALERSHIP WERE TRULY SERIOUS ABOUT ASSISTING ME. THEY COULD HAVE AT LEAST INFORMED ME THAT THERE ARE SOME POTENTIAL ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON. I REOPENED A NEW CASE (100130-000604). SO FAR I HAVE RECEIVED NO RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA. I DON'T THINK THEY ARE HANDLING THIS THE RIGHT WAY. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY MAJOR INCIDENTS, BUT I DON'T THINK I CAN WAIT FOR THAT TO HAPPEN TO GET THE ATTENTION OF TOYOTA OR ITS DEALER. THIS IS NOT A SMART WAY OF SOLVING AN ISSUE. I FEEL DISAPPOINTED, ANGRY AND HELPLESS. *TR

I PULLED INTO SHEETZ IN BEDFORD AT ABOUT 515AM ON 01/13/10. I PRESSED THE ON/OFF BUTTON ON THE DASH AT WHICH TIME THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. I EXITED THE CAR AND ENSURED THAT THE KEY FOB WAS IN MY COAT POCKET. I SPENT APPROX 5 MINUTES IN THE SHEETZ STORE. ON MY WAY OUT, AN UNIDENTIFIED SHEETZ CUSTOMER CAME INTO THE STORE AND ASKED WHO'S WHITE CAMERY WAS IN THE PARKING LOT. THAT WAS MY RENTAL. WE EXITED THE STORE AND APPROACHED THE CAR, WHICH WAS NOW STOPPED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SLOPPED PARKING LOT AND NEAR A GRAY F-250. NOTICED DAMAGE TO THE HOOD; FRONT BUMPER AND DRIVER-SIDE HEADLIGHT. THE CUSTOMER BEGAN TO TELL ME HE HAD SEEN ME APPROACH THE STORE FROM THE CAR AND THEN HE SAW THE CAR ROLL AWAY A FEW MINUTES LATER. HE HADN'T NOTICED I WASN'T IN THE CAR. HE SAID HE RAN TO THE CAR TO CHECK ON ME AND REALIZED I WASN'T IN THE CAR. WHEN I LOOKED INTO THE CAR I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND SHUT OFF. I ASKED THE CUSTOMER IF HE HAD TOUCHED THE CAR AND HE ADVISED NO HE HADN'T. THE CAR WAS OFF AND IN PARK WHEN HE GOT TO IT. THERE WERE NO WARNING OR BEEPING SOUNDS AS I LEFT THE CAR. THIS WAS A HERTZ RENTAL CAR AND THEY ARE NOW WANTING ME TO PAY FOR DAMAGES. THE CAR IS A 2010 TOYOTA HYBRID.
