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.

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.

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.

SUN VISOR HAS DROPPED AND CAN FEEL SEPARATION ON SPINE OF VISOR.
Other or unspecified, Jul 13, 2017
I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY, AND THIS IS THE 3RD TIME I'M HAVING TO REPLACE THE VISORS IN THE CAR. THE LAST REPLACEMENT ONLY 3 YEARS AGO (JULY 2014). THE SPRINGS KEEP BREAKING, AND THE VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP NOR WILL THEY STAY ALL THE WAY DOWN. THEREFORE, IT IS OBSTRUCTING MY VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN WITH MY VISORS DOWN. THE ONLY REASON I EVER PUT THEM DOWN IS WHEN I PUT A THIN LITTLE SHADE IN THE WINDSHIELD WHILE AT WORK. OF ALL THE VEHICLES I HAVE EVER OWNED, I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE VISORS, MUCH LESS 3 TIMES.

LIKE SO MANY OTHER TOYOTA VEHICLES; STARTED USING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL ( @ ONE QUART EVERY 500 MILES) AT ABOUT 82,000 MILES
Visibility/wiper, May 30, 2017
DRIVER VISOR, AFTER IT IS EXTENDED TO THE SIDE, DOES FALL AND SAG FURTHER THAN IT SHOULD, COVERING A LOWER PORTION THAN NORMAL OF THE SIDE DRIVER WINDOW. VISIBILITY TO THE SIDE IS GREATLY REDUCED; IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE TRAFFIC APPROACHING PERPENDICULARLY FROM THE LEFT SIDE, AND I AM A RELATIVELY SHORT DRIVER. TOYOTA SAYS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND EVEN HAD A 7 YEAR WARRANTY EXTENSION CALLED CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM ZTT. THIS PROBLEM IS NOW EVIDENT IN MY CAR, WHICH IS 7.5 YEARS OLD, AND TOYOTA REFUSES TO COVER IT. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT 7 YEAR WARRANTY EXTENSION WAS JUST A CHEAP SUBSTITUTE FOR WHAT SHOULD BE A RECALL. THERE ARE PLENTY OF VIDEOS AND PICTURES OF THIS ISSUE THAT CAN BE SEARCHED ONLINE
Other or unspecified, May 16, 2017
DRIVER SIDE VISOR DOES NOT STAY UP BUT FALLS INTO VIEW OF DRIVER OBSTRUCTING VISIBILITY. TOYOTA RECALLED BUT IT RECURRED WITH 12 MONTHS. SERIOUS PROBLEM AS IT HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS, INCLUDING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT COST $200.00 TO REPAIR AND REPAIR WILL BE DELAYED FOR MANY CAUSING HAZARD ON HIGHWAY. TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM BY RECALL BUT ADVISES THAT THEY WILL FIX PROBLEM ONLY ONCE.

BRIEF ENGINE KNOCK/RATTLE NOISE AT COLD STATUP (1AR/2AR). PER TOYOTA T-SB-0041-13 -- IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING A COLD STARTUP, SOME 2009-2013 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE 1AR-FE AND 2AR-FE ENGINES MAY EXHIBIT A BRIEF KNOCK/RATTLE NOISE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE SECOND. FOLLOW THE REPAIR PROCEDURE BELOW TO ADDRESS THIS CONDITION. THIS IS DUE TO WORN / LOOSE CAM GEARS. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS ISSUE IS RAMPANT AMONG MANY TOYOTA MODELS. TOYOTA HAS ISSUES A TSB, BUT NOT A RECALL. FAILURE OF THIS PART CAN CAUSE ENGINE STOPPAGE WHILE DRIVING.

ON 2 OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED (65-70 MPH) IN TRAFFIC ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE, MY CAR LOST POWER (IT DID NOT CUT OFF--ONLY LOST POWER). AFTER WORKING MY WAY OFF OF THE INTERSTATE HWY., I WAS ABLE TO USE A CODE READER AND FOUND THAT DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE P2112 HAD BEEN SET (THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM-STUCK CLOSED). AFTER ERASING THE DTC THE CAR RAN OK. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE--ONCE ON 02/16/2017 (MILEAGE 75,465) AND A SECOND TIME ON 04/10/2017 (MILEAGE 75,829). FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS IN TOYOTA'S SERVICE MANUAL FOR THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, I CHECKED THE RESISTANCE OF THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR ON THE THROTTLE BODY AND FOUND IT WAS WELL WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS--MEASURED 4 OHMS AND SPEC IS 0.3-100 OHMS). IN MY OPINION, LOSING POWER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE IS A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION.

MY 2010, 4 CYLINDER TOYOTA CAMRY IS USING EXTREME AMOUNTS OF OIL. IT HAS BEEN TESTED FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IN 5/2016 AND I WAS TOLD IT QUALIFIED FOR TOYOTA'S REPAIR UNDER ENHANCED WARRANTY. CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2009. CALLED 1/18/17 THAT THEY HAD GOTTEN TO MY NAME ON THEIR VERY LONG LIST AND TO BRING IT IN. AFTER LOOKING AT THE CAR TO REPAIR IT, I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT AND IT DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE REPAIRS-EVEN THOUGH IT IS OBVIOUSLY HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD TO CALL CORPORATE TOYOTA TO SEE IF IT COULD BE INCLUDED. THEY SAID NO AND THAT I NEED ANOTHER OILED CONSUMPTION TEST BECAUSE LAST ONE IS MORE THAN 6 MONTHS OLD. BASICALLY, JUST TOLD THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR OF THE EXTREME OIL CONSUMPTION (APPROX 1 QT/250 MILES). *TR

TRANSMISSION IS AGGRESSIVE. RELUCTANT TO CHANGE GEARS RESULTING IN A DECELERATING AFFECT (DOWNHILL, UPHILL, COASTING AND IN TRAFFIC). DANGER TO PERSONAL SAFETY AND OTHER DRIVERS AS BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT APPLIED TO NOTIFY OTHERS OF VEHICLE SLOWING DOWN. AT A STANDSTILL, TRANSMISSION IS SLOW TO ACCELERATE AND MERGE ONTO HIGHWAY. DRIVING SIMILAR TO STEERING A CAR WITH A BRAKE CALIPER STUCK. *TR

ALTHOUGH WE DID NOT NOTICE IT AT FIRST, AS THE SUMMER WORE ON THE DASH BECAME MORE OF A PROBLEM. I WAS HEADED FROM NORTH CAROLINA TO OHIO FOR MY GRANDMOTHER'S FUNERAL WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WAS MORE THAN JUST A STICKY DASHBOARD. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD REFLECTS ON THE WINDOW CREATING A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD WHEN DRIVING. NOT EXACTLY AN IDEAL TIME TO FIND OUT THE CAR YOU HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED WAS BARELY DRIVE-ABLE AT NIGHT!

THE SUN VISOR REPLACE/REPAIR IS COVERED BY THE TOYOTA WARRANTY BUT TOYOTA IS SAYING THAT ONLY CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS ARE COVERED THIS IS RIDICULOUS, I HAD MY PREGNANT WIFE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE, TOYOTA IS NOT ENTERTAINING THE CLAIM TO FIX OR REPLACE THE SUN VISOR. CURRENTLY I HAVE NO SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE.

I HAVE GOTTEN TWO OIL CHANGES IN TWO WEEKS. THE VEHICLE BURNS OIL TO EMPTY EVERY 4-5 DAYS. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE CUTS OFF COMPLETELY AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATES. I WORK AS A REALTOR PART-TIME AND FOR THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT FULL-TIME.

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT BLACK WHEN DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY OUT OF TOWN. AND LATER THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. RESTARTED THE CAR AND DROVE TO BE CHECKED AT A DEALER WHO SAID EVERYTHING SHOULD BE FINE EXCEPT FOR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WORKED WELL THIS TIME. TWO DAYS LATER, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TURNED ON ALL OF WARNING LIGHTS AND THEN WENT BLACK AGAIN, AT THE SAME TIME, THE CAR LOST POWER AND I COULDN'T SPEED IT UP. PULL OVER AND RESTARTED IT, EVERYTHING TURNED TO BE OK. SO, I SENT IT THE LOCAL DEALER WHO REPLACED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I KEEP THE BROKEN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IN CASE FOR NEED OF FURTHER INVESTIGATION.
