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.

DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY AND HAS STARTED TO PEEL OFF.
Other or unspecified, Jul 30, 2019
AT FIRST MY SUN VISOR FELL OFF ONE EVENING WHEN I WAS TRYING TO BLOCK THE SUN FROM DISRUPTING MY VIEW. THEN AS TIME WENT BY, MY DASHBOARD STARTED MELTING AND BECOMING STICKY. LIKE A GOO. THERE IS DIRT AND OTHER DEBRIS STUCK TO IT. VERY GROSS AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN, WITH SO MUCH DIRT ON IT I FEEL IT IS A HEALTH HAZARD TO MY KIDS AND MYSELF. I TALKED TO TOYOTA A FEW DAYS AGO AND THEY FLAT OUT TOLD ME THAT THEY CANNOT AND WILL NOT FIX IT SINCE THE WARRANTY WAS OUT. THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT I DID, BUT THE FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURER. THE GOO CAUSES A REFLECTION ON MY WINDSHIELD AND IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. THIS IS A DRIVING HAZARD, ESPECIALLY SINCE I DO NOT HAVE A SUN VISOR ON MY DRIVER SIDE SINCE IT HAS FALLEN OFF. I AM ASKING FOR TOYOTA TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

BREAK ACTUATOR, 2ND EVENT EVENT 1 COMPLAINT NUMBER 11234969 23 JULY 2019, DROPPED MY CAR OFF WITH TOYOTA CLOVIS SAME DEALERSHIP (JACOB WAS MY REP) BECAUSE MY BRAKES WAS MAKING THE CREAKING SOUND/THUMPING. I ASKED HIM TO CHECK MY BRAKES AND IF THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM, CALL ME TO LET ME KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. HE CALLED ME LATER THAT DAY AND SAID IT WAS THE BRAKES, THEY WENT AHEAD AND CHANGED THE BRAKE PADS. HE SAID THEY RECOMMEND TO CHANGE BRAKE ACTUATOR FLUID? SINCE IT WASN'T DONE WHEN THEY CHANGED THE ACTUATOR PREVIOUSLY AND HE WAS GOING TO CHARGE ME. I COMMENTED THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BACK IN 2017 WHEN THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ORIGINALLY FAILED. I ASKED IF IT WOULD AFFECT MY CAR, DRIVABILITY, ETC. AND JACOB SAID NO IT SHOULD DRIVE FINE WITH NO PROBLEMS OTHER THAN A FEW SETTLE SOUNDS. HE SAID BUT THE BRAKES ARE FIXED AND IT'S NO LONGER MAKING THE SOUND/ THUMPING. SO I DECLINED THE FLUID SERVICE. 25 JULY 2019, I WAS GOING TO GET MY DAUGHTER FROM SCHOOL. BY THEN, IT HAD STARTED TO MAKE THE CHEAKING NOISE/THUMPING. I GOT JUST ABOUT TO HER SUMMER SCHOOL (ON FOWLER AVE) AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON MY PANEL LIT UP AGAIN. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED MY HUSBAND. I DROVE IT HOME SLOW. WE CALLED TOYOTA, SPOKE TO THE MANAGER, EXPLAINED THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE. I JUST PAID THEM $240 FOR BRAKE PADS THAT I DIDN'T NEED. I REFUSED TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSING IN 1.5HRS WHICH LEFT NO TIME FOR TOW TRUCK. MY HUSBAND DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, I FOLLOWED IN HIS CAR. TOYOTA (JACOB) GAVE ME A LOANER. 25 JULY 2019, THE MANAGER CALLED AND SAID THE ISSUE WAS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR FAILED AGAIN BUT BECAUSE THE PART WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE (MANAGER ACTUALLY AGREED) WAS ONLY COVERED FOR A YEAR, I'D HAVE TO CONTACT CORPORATE TO SEE IF THEY COULD CHANGE IT OUT AT NO COST. I WILL CALL TOMORROW (26 JULY 2019)...ALTHOUGH, I DO NOT PLAN ON EVER DRIVING THIS CAR AGAIN.

BRAKE ACTUATOR: MY BRAKES WERE MAKING A CREAKING NOISE /THUMPING WHEN PRESSED...IN WHICH CASE I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST TIME FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE. ABOUT 0430, DECEMBER 21, 2017 (MY WEDDING ANNIVERSARY) I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 99SOUTH HEADED FROM FRESNO, CA TO TULARE, CA...ABOUT A 45MIN DRIVE. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR STARTED TO MAKE RANDOM CHIMING SOUNDS THAT DID NOT SEEM TO COME FROM ANYWHERE PARTICULAR. THERE WAS NO INDICATOR LIGHT ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOUND...IT WAS JUST RANDOM SOUNDS I HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE. THAT WENT ON PERIODICALLY FOR THE NEXT 20-30MINS. I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE PROSPERITY AVE OFF-RAMP AND BEGAN TO PRESS THE BREAKS. IMMEDIATELY, ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON MY PANEL LIT UP AND A STEADY, HIGH PITCH SOUND CAME ON AND I COULDN'T STOP MY CAR. I PANICKED, CONTINUOUSLY TRYING TO BREAK PUSHING HARD AS I CAN. I ENDED UP BEING ABLE TO LEAD IT OFF THE EXIT AND INTO A POPEYES PARKING LOT NEXT TO THE OFF-RAMP WHERE IT EVENTUALLY CAME TO A STOP. THANK THE LORD THAT NO ONE WAS ON THE ROAD THAT EARLY IN THE MORNING. THE CAR WAS TOWED FROM TULARE BACK TO FRESNO (TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE WOULD NOT REFUND THAT 200 BUCKS). TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE BREAK ACTUATOR, IT WAS A "WARRANTY" THAT THEY'D COVER AT NO COST. I ASKED WHY I WASN'T NOTIFIED SINCE THE SITUATION IS LIFE THREATENING AND THERE WERE NO ANSWERS FOR THAT. TOYOTA HAD MY CAR FOR ABOUT A MONTH BECAUSE I DEMANDED THEY REPAIR EVERYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH THE BREAKS...QUITE HONESTLY I WAS JUST AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. EVENTUALLY, I DROVE IT AGAIN WITH MY ANXIETY GRADUALLY DIMINISHING...BUT BY NO MEANS GONE. I VISITED A MENTAL HEALTH DOCTOR TO HELP, ALTHOUGH IT DIDN'T. 23 JULY 2019, IT WENT OUT AGAIN. WILL POST THAT EVENT ON SEPARATE ENTRY.

TOYOTA CAMRY 2010, WAS DRIVEN TO DENTIST OFFICE PARKING LOT. WHILE PARKING THE BRAKE WAS PRESSED TO BRING IT TO A STANDSTILL. HOWEVER, IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND LEAPED FORWARD AND SMASHED AGAINST AN IMMOVABLE WALL IN FRONT. ALL THIS WHILE THE WHEEL KEPT ON SPINNING UNCONTROLLABLY. FRONT OF CAR IS BADLY MAULED DEPICTING THE UNCALLED FOR MOMENTUM. GLAD THAT THERE WAS A WALL AS THIS ABORTED THE FEARSOME CRAZE. DRIVER BADLY SHAKEN WITH MODERATE INJURY. NEVER EXPRIENCED THIS BEFORE.

THE ENGINE BURNS OIL EXCESSIVELY OVER 5 QTS PER OIL CHANGE EVERY 5000 MILES. I'M AFRAID THIS ENGINE MAY FAIL ON THE HIGHWAY AND CREATE UNSAFE SITUATION DURING REGULAR COMMUTES . I ALSO BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, THIS OIL BURNING STARTED 4 YEARS AGO AT A SMALLER RATE 1 -2 QT PER OIL CHANGE NOW IT HAS DOUBLED. THERE HAS BEEN A TOYOTA EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUED FROM TOYOTA FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM FOR 2009 CAMRYS,BUT TOYOTA REFUSES TO GIVE THIS WARRANTY TO 2010 CAMRY OWNERS.THEY SAY ANY ENGINE DAMAGES IS THE CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY. TOYOTA NEEDS TO ISSUE ANOTHER RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THIS 2010 YEAR AND ANY OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.
Visibility/wiper, Jul 18, 2019
BOTH SUN VISORS WERE DEFECTIVE. WHEN IN 2016 I WENT TO DEALERSHIP IN TINELY PARK IL, I REQUESTED THAT BOTH DEFECTIVE SUN VISOR SHOULD BE REPLACED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT TOYOTA GENERATED. SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME THAT UNLESS SUN VISOR FALL DOWN COMPLETELY, TOYOTA WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE THE REPAIR. AND DEALERSHIP REPAIRED ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE AND DENIED REPAIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. TODAY, MY PASSENGER SUN VISOR FLOPS DOWN AND SERIOUSLY OBSTRUCTS VISIBILITY - CREATING VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. I CALLED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE ON JULY 18TH 2019. BOTH DENIED THE CLAIM AND DENIED NECESSARY REPAIR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FROM ANY AUTO MANUFACTURER - SHOWING THEIR LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY.
Power train, Jul 13, 2019
75,000 MILES ON MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY: FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS ON COLD MORNINGS, THE CAR WILL REVERSE AND PROCEED 100 YARDS TO THE STOP SIGN. THEN WHEN I STEP ON GAS, CAR REVS UP BUT DOESN'T MOVE. DEALER SAID NEW TRANSMISSION NEEDED. QUOTED ME 7,000$. ANOTHER SHOP SAID IT WAS THE TRANS COMPUTER AND OR SOLENOID. THEY REPLACED. WAS FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS... NOW DOES THE SAME. HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. SERVICES REGULARLY.

SUN VISORS HAVE DEFECTIVE PART AND FAIL TO GO ALL THE WAY AGAINST WINDSHIELD AND EVENTUALLY THE PART BREAKS AND VISOR IS UNABLE TO BE PROPERLY PUT UP (AGAINST THE ROOF OF CAR) AND OUT OF THE WAY WHEN NOT IN USE. VISOR HANGS IN FIELD OF VISION WHILE DRIVING AND IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT OR WHEN IT IS RAINING, OBSTRUCTING VIEW AHEAD AND CANNOT SEE TRAFFIC SIGNALS. TOYOTA EVIDENTLY ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN/ WARRANTY EXTENSION WHEREIN THEY WOULD REPAIR FOR SEVEN YEARS FROM ORIGINAL DATE OF PURCHASE FOR 2007-2011 VEHICLES. THIS HAS BEEN EXTREMELY UNSAFE. HAD THERE BEEN A RECALL ISSUED, I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN 2015, YET SERVICE BULLETINS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BE PUBLISHED AND WELL-KNOWN. THIS HAS CREATED AN OBSTRUCTION TO MY FIELD OF VISION WHEN DRIVING AND HAS CREATED SOME HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. WOULD A RECALL HAVE BEEN ISSUED, I WOULD STILL BE WITHIN THE TIME PERIOD BEFORE THE RECALL EXPIRED. THIS HAPPENED AFTER I DROVE TO WORK ONE DAY, PARKED AND WHEN I CAME OUT AT LUNCH, UNHOOKED THE VISOR AND TRIED TO USE IT. I WAS PROBABLY STATIONARY BUT COULD HAVE BEEN MOVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED.

DRIVING AT NIGHT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE! VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE $1318.68.

THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT SAME ISSUES WITH CAMRY,

THE ABS BRAKE ACTUATOR ON MY TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID HAS GONE BAD CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO BE UNSAFE FOR OPERATION. I WAS INITIALLY TOLD THAT THE ACTUATOR WOULD BE COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY EXTENSION. HOWEVER AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ANY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD AND/OR NO ERROR CODES PRESENT WHEN HOOKED UP TO A SCAN TOOL EVEN THOUGH THE PART IS FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

I'M AFRAID THIS ENGINE MAY FAIL ON THE HIGHWAY FROM LACK OF OIL ON A LONG TRIP AND IF I DO NOT CHECK EVERY WEEK DURING REGULAR COMMUTES . I ALSO BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, THIS OIL BURNING STARTED 5 YEARS AGO AT A SMALLER RATE 1/2 -1 QT PER OIL CHANGE NOW IT HAS DOUBLED. THERE HAS BEEN A TOYOTA EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUED FROM TOYOTA FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM FOR 2009 CAMRYS,BUT TOYOTA REFUSES TO GIVE THIS WARRANTY TO 2010 CAMRY OWNERS.THEY SAY ANY ENGINE DAMAGES IS THE CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY. THE PRICE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WAS QUOTED BY THE DEALER AT $5000.

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. MY STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. ONLY SMALL PIECES OF THE AIR BAG WERE SEEN AT THE EDGE OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I DID NOT TAKE A PHOTO. MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALED SO THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME DOCUMENTATION WITH INSURANCE COMPANY. I HAD NEW TIRES PUT ON MY CAR 10 DAYS EARLIER AND I BELIEVE MY TIRE PRESSURE MAINTENANCE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED. MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS BLINKING AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP MY CAR WHEN I APPROACHED A TRAFFIC LIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF HER MOTHER WHO OWNED A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO A SHOPPING CENTER, THE VEHICLE WAS STRUCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL WELL BY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A MINOR CONCUSSION AND A DEEP CONTUSION TO THE KNEE, BUT DID NOT SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED A MAJOR CONCUSSION, DILATED EYES, A PARTIAL TEAR TO THE ROTATOR CUFF, AND WHIPLASH. THE PASSENGER REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION CENTER AND DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

THE RED INDICATOR LIGHT IN MY DASH DISPLAY CAME ON WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AND CONTINUED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, SO I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC. MY ALTERNATOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT, WHICH IS VERY DISAPPOINTING BECAUSE THE CAR ONLY HAS 84,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND SERVICED REGULARLY. I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, AND THE ALTERNATOR REPLACEMENT QUOTE FROM THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE MY FAMILY PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IS QUOTING $1,245 FOR A NEW ALTERNATOR (PARTS & LABOR). AN INTERNET SEARCH LED ME TO FIND THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO QUITE A FEW OWNERS OF THIS ERA OF TOYOTA. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL OR ANY TYPE OF ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE TO COVER THE COST OF THIS VERY EXPENSIVE AND PREMATURE REPAIR. MY MECHANIC WARNED ME OF THE HUGE DANGERS OF HAVING MY ALTERATOR FAIL WHILE OPERATING THE CAR, ESPECIALLY WHILE DOING THE FAST FREEWAY DRIVING THAT IS SO COMMON IN LOS ANGELES. I HAD NO IDEA THAT THE RED BATTERY DASH LIGHT INDICATED SUCH A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I HOPE THAT IN THE NEAR FUTURE THIS CAN BE RECALLED, TO SAVE CONSUMERS THE HUGE COST OF MAKING THIS CRITICAL AND UNTIMELY REPAIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME READING THIS COMPLAINT AND YOUR CONSIDERATION IN THIS MATTER.
