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 will notify owners and provide a corrected label with instructions concerning its installation. A small group of the affected vehicles will need additonal remedies which are still being developed. The recall began on May 28, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859.

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.

THE DASHBOARD ON THIS VEHICLE STARTED "MELTING" AND BECAME STICKY AND GOOEY ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. I THOUGHT IT WAS DIRTY AND COULD NOT CLEAN OFF THE STICKINESS. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THERE WAS ALSO A REFLECTIVE GLARE COMING OFF THE DASHBOARD WHICH MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. THE DASHBOARD ALSO EMITTED A STRONG ODOR THAT WAS MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR ME TO BREATHE AND MY EYES TO BURN AND CAUSE " COUGHING. I DID NOT REALIZE IT WAS COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD UNTIL I RESEARCHED IT AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A TOYOTA RECALL REGARDING THE "MELTING DASHBOARDS. I CALLED TOYOTA ON 10-19-2020 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM EXPIRED AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY TOYOTA BY MAIL, PHONE OR EMAIL ABOUT THE RECALL AND THEY STILL SAID THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. I BELIEVE TOYOTA NEEDS TO HONOR THE WARRANTY TO REPLACE MY DASHBOARD AS I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THEY SAID BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT SERVICED AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SINCE 2017 THAT IS WHY I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE RECALL. I HAD MY CAR SERVICED REGULARLY, BUT NOT AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE MAILED ME A RECALL NOTICE, WHICH THEY DID NOT. IF I HAD BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL I WOULD HAVE /REPLACEMENT TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE

DASHBOARD APPEARS TO BE MELTING. IT IS VERY STICKY TO THE TOUCH AND WILL COME OFF AND ADHERE TO ANYTHING THAT COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE DASH. WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUN, IT PUTS OFF A GLARE THAT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD, EVEN WHEN WEARING SUNGLASSES.

WHEN GASED, EVEN LIGHTLY, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES SUDDENLY AND AGGRESSIVELY. WHEN ROLLING, WITHOUT THE DRIVER ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE SELF-ACCELERATES. THIS HAS BEEN NOTICED SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN 2014. DUE TO THIS CONCERN, THE VEHICLE IS SELDOM DRIVEN.

SRS WARNING LIGHT AND TRAC CONTROL WARNING LIGHT AND SEAT BELT WARNINGS FOR BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER FLASHING. I CHECKED ONLINE AND COULDNT FIGURE OUT THE CODES. I FIGURED OUT THAT THIS WAS BLOWING FUSE 29 ON THE CAR AS SOON AS THE IGNITION IS TURNED ON. I WENT TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP, ALI AUTOMOTIVE IN SANTA CLARA, CA. THEY READ THE CODES AND THE FAULTS DISPLAYED ARE THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR FAULT AND PASSENGER CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM FAULT (IF I RECALL CORRECTLY). AS THE AIR BAGS ARE NO LONGER ACTIVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE FAULT CAME ON WHILE JUST AFTER TURNING INTO PARKING SPOT IN THE PARKING LOT AT THE CORNER OF LAWRENCE AND PROSPECT. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THEY NEED TO CHECK THE VEHICLE BUT IT WAS LIKELY THE AIR BAG CLOCKSPRING IS SHORTING AS THEY'VE REPLACED THIS ON A NUMBER OF CARS. CHECKING ONLINE IT SEEMS THAT TOYOTA HAS A RECALL ON THE AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING ON SOME MODELS BUT I DIDNT SEE ONE OF THE CAMRY. ALSO A NUMBER OF REPORTS ONLINE OF CONSUMERS CHANGING THE CLOCKSPRINGS. SO THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON COMPLAINT AND A SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE ASSIST TO INVESTIGATE ASAP. THIS CAR IS ALSO USED BY OUR TEENAGE SON AND I'D LIKE TO ENSURE THAT IT IS SAFE. THANK YOU.

ENGINE LOWER CASE CRANK SEAL LEAK. I CALLED TOYOTA CORP. OFFICE AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP ME. I HAVE READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS, AND I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. TOYOTA CORP. NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT DRIVING A CAR WITHOUT OIL. THE ENGINE OIL LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. IT CAN ALSO CAUSE AN ENGINE STOPPAGE. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND FEAR SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN. THE COST TO FIX IS ABOUT $2200.00. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND CANNOT AFFORD THAT KIND OF MONEY. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WILL TYPE THE DATE I BOUGHT THE CAR AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS FORM BECAUSE IT IS ASKING DATE INCIDENT HAPPENED AND WON'T TAKE RECENT DATES.

CUSTOMER BY CSS WEB (08/20/2019 12:23 PM) MY 2010 CAMRY DASHBOARD HAS MELTED TO AN UNCLEANABLE TARLIKE STICKY SUBSTANCE. I NEED HELP BECAUSE IT REFLECTS ON MY WINDSHIELD AND I CANNOT SEE THROUGH IT. I HAVE TO BEND SIDEWAYS TO SEE AROUND IT TO DRIVE. PLEASE EMAIL ME HOW I CAN CLEAN MY DASHBOARD. QUESTION REFERENCE # 190820-000288 DATE CREATED: 08/20/2019 12:23 PM CT ON MAY 1, 2014, MY 2010 CAMRY DASHBOARD STARTED LOOKING GREASY AND SHINY. I DID THE BEST I COULD TO CLEAN IT WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT CAR CLEANING SOLUTIONS, WHICH AT THE TIME DID HELP. I TRIED PURE RUBBING ALCOHOL. I EVEN TRIED A VINEGAR AND WATER SOLUTION. I ALSO TOOK MY CAR TO BE WASHED AND DETAILED. I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT GET THE STICKY SOLUTION OFF AND THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO A TOYOTA DEALER., WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD JUST MISSED THE EXTENDED REPAIR DATE AND TO CONTACT TOYOTA, SO ON AUGUST 20, 2019. I CONTACTED TOYOTA.COM AND WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD MISSED THE EXTENDED REPAIR END DATE AND THAT I CAN PAY MY TOYOTA DEALER TO REPLACE MY DASHBOARD MYSELF.. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THE EXTENDED DATE OR ANY RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY SAID THEY SENT THEM OUT AND IF I DID NOT RECEIVE IT, THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT NOW. THEY TOLD ME THIS ON A PHONE CALL TO ME. THEY WOULD NOT EVEN PUT THEIR RESPONSE IN WRITING. I TRULY BELIEVE TOYOTA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR, SO I THINK OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED.

THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY FUEL PUMP. WHILE IN MOTION, THE CAR STALLS. IT HAS STALLED ON CITY STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. TOYOTA HAS A RECALL COMING FOR FUEL PUMPS ON TOYOTA AND LEXUS VEHICLES. THE RECALL IS TO BE ANNOUNCED IN MARCH OF 2020, BUT I'M NOT SURE THE 2010 CAMRY IS INCLUDED, BUT IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THE PROBLEM OCCURS ON A DAILY BASIS.

IN LATE AUGUST 2019 WHILE RETURNING HOME FROM SHOPPING ON A FAST SPEED STREET I NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A TURN AND THE BREAK PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, MADE A VIBRATING NOISE, THE BREAK LIGHT CAME ON RED AND WITH THE PEDAL GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND BARELY BREAKING I WAS ABLE TO GO HOME, (ABOUT A MILE), DRIVING AT 5 MPH. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER AND POWER BOOSTER WITH COST OF AROUND $ 2,000.00. THE CAR ONLY HAD 31,026 MILES, ALL REQUESTED SERVICES WERE DONE ON TIME OR EVEN BEFORE TIME, NO SIGN OF SPONGY PEDAL OR BREAKS RED LIGHT COMING UP FOR WARNING BEFORE THIS HAPPENING. WE WERE VERY LUCKY TO NOT CRASH THE CAR IN A BAD ACCIDENT OR TO BE ON A TALLWAY. LATELY I DISCOVERED EMERGENCY BREAK NOT WORKING, (NEVER CHECKED AFTER REPAIRS) WHILE CAR LEFT ON DRIVE AND PUT EMERGENCY BREAKS, CAR MOVES. CERTAINLY I WILL NOT RETURN TO DEALER WHERE I WENT SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, DID THEY FORGOT TO CHECK THE EMERGENCY BREAKS AFTER BREAKS REPAIR?AS THEY HAD FORGOTTEN OTHER THING AFTER PAST SERVICES. NEVER TOYOTA AGAIN. WHEN I TALKED TO TOYOTA NATIONAL HEADQUARTER I WAS TOLD THE DEALER GAVE ME A VERY GOOD PRICE AND THEY PARTNER WITH DEALERS. I ASKED IF THE WOULD REIMBURSE SOME SINCE THE CAR IS NOT EVEN AT 36,000 MILES AND THEY TOLD ME THE CAR IS 10 YEAR OLD! THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT IN THE GARAGE, DRIVEN WEEKLY AROUND AND ONE DAY OF THE WEEK DRIVEN AT FAST SPEED TO KEEP EVERYTHING IN ORDER.

THE DASHBOARD IS BREAKING DOWN AND HAS BECOME VERY STICKY. THIS CAUSES GLARE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I CALLED TOYOTA ABOUT IT ON 9/14/209, BUT THEY SAID THEIR 'WARRANT ENHANCEMENT' EXPIRED ON 8/13/2019. TOYOTA SAID THAT THEY SENT A LETTER IN 2016, WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED. I HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT A TOYOTA DEAL (JACK TAYLOR TOYOTA, ALEXANDRIA VA), AND THEY NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF THE 'WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT.' THEY SAID THAT THEY ONLY HAD TO NOTIFY FOR RECALL SAFETY ISSUES. THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD REPLACE IT FOR @2,171.46 THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, NOT JUST A 'WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT.' TOYOTA'S METHODS TO NOTIFY ARE INADEQUATE AND THIS PROBLEM IS ONGOING - ME AND MANY OTHERS WILL HAVE THIS SAFETY PROBLEM BEYOND TOYOTA'S WARRANT PERIOD. ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY DO SUCH A POOR JOB OF CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION. THIS CAUSES A LOT OF ROAD GLARE AT NIGHT AND WILL CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. TOYOTA IS OBVIOUSLY NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING ON THEIR OWN. I HOPE THE NTSB CAN PLEASE ADVANCE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE.
