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.

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.

I LEASED 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY ON 7/27/09 FROM HUDSON TOYOTA, JERSEY CITY, NJ. IN DECEMBER 2009 MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED BY ITSELF AND BY APPLYING THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE WENT BACK TO NORMAL. IN JANUARY 2010, TOYOTA REPORTED A RECALL ANNOUNCING THAT MY VEHICLE IS FALLING UNDER THEIR RECALL CAMPAIGN. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE LETTER FROM TOYOTA REGARDING THE RECALL FIX. ON 2/16/10, WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALER FOR 5000 MILES SERVICE, I WAS TOLD THEN THAT MY VEHICLE IS UNDER THE RECALL CAMPAIGN AND IT WILL TAKE LONGER TO PERFORM THE FIXES. NOW WITH ALL THE NEWS HAS BEEN COMING OUT REGARDING THE LACK OF TOYOTA'S SAFETY AND CREDIBILITY, AND WHOLE OTHER FACTS: TOYOTA MANUFACTURER LEASED TO ME 2010 CAMRY WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE VEHICLE DEFECT (SUDDEN ACCELERATION) SINCE 2007.ON 3/18/10, I SEEK RESOLUTION FOR MY CASE BY TRYING TO EXIT MY FRAUD LEASE AGREEMENT. I HAD MY ARBITRATION HEARING THROUGH NATIONAL CENTER OF DISPUTE SETTLEMENT AT HUDSON TOYOTA, JERSEY CITY.

HE WAS SPENDING MOST OF THE HEARING TIME ON HIS BLACKBERRY, THE ARBITRATOR FROM NATIONAL CENTER FOR DISPUTE SETTLEMENT NEVER COMMENTED ON TOYOTA'S REPRESENTATIVE BEHAVIORS. I'M STILL WAITING FOR A DECISION, WHICH MOST LIKELY TO BE IN TOYOTA'S FAVOR AS THE NCDS LACKED THE TRANSPARENCY IN CONDUCTING THAT HEARING. ARE THERE ANY FURTHER ACTIONS I SHOULD TAKE TO EXIT MY LEASE AND GET A COMPLETE REFUND, AS I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THEIR VEHICLE. *DT

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.

AFTER SEVERAL DAYS AND NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS TOYOTA FINALLY RESPONDED AND I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER 4 DAYS FOR SOMEONE ELSE FROM THEIR REGIONAL DEPARTMENT TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME. I FINALLY DECIDED TO LET MY INSURANCE COMPANY HANDLE THE VEHICLES DAMAGE BECAUSE I ONLY HAVE ONE CAR. AFTER A WEEK IN THE SHOP I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE A TOYOTA DEALER FOR THEM TO REPAIR THE RECALL ISSUES. TOYOTA EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THEY FIXED THE RECALL PROBLEMS AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME. *TR
