Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 Prius and Corolla, 2009-2011 Venza, 2006-2010 Avalon, 2007-2010 FJ Cruiser, 2005-2011 Sienna and Sequoia, 2006-2011 Tacoma 4x2 and 4x4, Camry, Highlander, Tundra 4x2 and 4x4, and 2007-2011 Rav4 and 4Runner. The affected vehicles may experience compression of the seat cushion which may damage the seat heater wiring.
Damage to the seat heater wiring could cause the wires to short, increasing the risk of the seat burning and causing personal injury to the occupant.
SET will notify owners, and dealers will disconnect the heaters with copper strand heating elements and refund the purchase price of the seat heater accessory, free of charge. The recall is expected to began in January 2015. Owners may contact SET customer service at 1-866-405-4226.

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2011 Toyota Camry vehicles manufactured March 8, 2011, to July 20, 2011. In the affected vehicles, the rubber boot on the front suspension lower arm ball joint may have been damaged during manufacturing. The damage could cause the boot to leak lubricant grease which could then cause the ball joint to wear and loosen prematurely.
A loosened ball joint may separate from the knuckle and could cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ball joint, free of charge. The recall began on December 16, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.

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."
An inaccurate label could lead to owners overloading their vehicles and tires. An overloaded vehicle can result in a tire failure which may result in a vehicle crash, personal injury, or property damage.
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.

I PURCHASED MY 2011 CAMRY SLE USED THROUGH THE TOYOTA DEALER IN JAN. 2014, MY VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED FOR JUST OVER A YEAR BEFORE I NOTICED THIS ISSUE. I HAD BRAND NEW TIRES PUT ON THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING. NOW, A YEAR LATER, I FEEL A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS OF 55-70MPH. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE THE TIRES CHECKED WHERE I PURCHASED THEM AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY FRONT STRUTS WERE LEAKING CAUSING THE VIBRATION AND MY TIRES TO WEAR UNEVEN (HIGH/LOW SPOTS IN ALL TIRES). I BROUGHT MY CAR TO TOYOTA (AFTER HAVING BEEN THERE THE WEEK BEFORE FOR A SERVICE) AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE ONLY LEAKING SLIGHTLY AND THEY WERE NOT REQUIRED TO REPLACE THEM WITH THE AMOUNT LEAKING. I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF ANY LEAKING ISSUES AT MY SERVICE AND IT WAS EVEN NOTED THAT THEY WERE CHECKED AND FINE. I REPLACED THE FRONT TWO TIRES AGAIN A BOUT A MONTH AGO THINKING IT MIGHT SOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT THERE IS STILL A VIBRATION AND NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END. I WAS INFORMED BY ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT THEY TYPICALLY GET REPLACED AT $70,000 BUT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THEM AND THAT I SHOULD RETURN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM REPLACED SINCE THEY ARE UNDER WARRANTY.

EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE (TOYOTA CAMRY LE 2011 ) IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS ONLY ABOUT 19,000 MILES, THE FRONT STRUTS ARE LEAKING AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AS PER MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE STRUTS USUALLY LAST FOR 70,000 MILES AND THEY MIGHT BE DEFECTIVE. I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF THE CAR AND BOUGHT IT FROM A TOYOTA DEALER.

MY COMPLAINT IS TOWARDS THE TOYOTA MOTOR COMPANY FOR FAILING TO IDENTIFY A PROBLEM THEY HAVE HAD WITH LEAKING STRUTS. AFTER SPEAKING WITH TOYOTA, I LEARNED THAT TOYOTA ENGINEERS HAVE DEEMED A SLIGHT LEAK OK AND THEY WILL NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL CARS AND HAD TO REPLACE LEAKING SHOCKS AND STRUTS BECAUSE IT JUST GETS WORSE AND CAUSES TIRE WEAR WHICH IN MY OPINION WOULD LEAD TO A SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS NOT MY INTENT TO BAD MOUTH TOYOTA, HOWEVER THEY HAVE TAKEN A CAREFREE APPROACH TO THIS PROBLEM WHICH CONCERNS ME. THANK YOU *TR

1. DEFECTIVE CAR WAS DELIVERED BY TOYOTA & ITS DEALER TO ME (CUSTOMER). ----------- 2. CAR WAS NOT TESTED BY TOYOTA/DEALER ON TIRES & VIBRATION/SHAKING BEFORE DELIVERY TO CUSTOMER. ----------- 3. WHEN I COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA, THEN TOYOTA FOUND THE EVIDENCE THAT TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE. ----------- 4. BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE TIRES FITTED BY TOYOTA & NOT TESTED PROPERLY BY TOYOTA, DAMAGES HAPPENED ON THE OVERALL LIFE SPAN OF CAR - SUSPENSION & STEERING SYSTEMS. ----------- 5. CUSTOMER - DRIVING SAFETY WAS ALSO PUT ON HUGE RISK, AS UNTESTED CAR WAS DELIVERED BY TOYOTA. ----------- 6. WHEN I COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA, THEN TOYOTA FOUND THE EVIDENCE THAT TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE. ----------- 7. BY HAVING THAT DEFECT IN TIRES, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT OVERALL LIFE SPAN OF CAR'S SUSPENSION, STRUTS & STEERING SYSTEM HAS BEEN REDUCED, BECAUSE OF RUNNING WITH THIS VIBRATION & SHAKING. ----------- 8.

IT SHOWS THAT TOYOTA KNOW IT VERY WELL THAT CAR IS SO MUCH IMPACTED & NOW HAS SHORTEN THE LIFE SPAN OF CAR (BECAUSE OF THESE DAMAGED TIRES & IMPACTED PARTS IN THE CAR) SO TOYOTA IS ONLY OFFERING "ONE YEAR" OF EXTENDED SERVICE TO COVER UP THEIR MISTAKES / DEFECTS IN THEIR QUALITY. ============== - CAR'S SHAKING (VIBRATIONS AT BOTH - SLOW AND HIGHER SPEED), - IMPACTS/DAMAGES THE LIFE SPAN OF STEERING, SUSPENSION AND STRUTS, - TIRES NOT IN BALANCE (WHEEL BALANCING WAS NOT DONE BY TOYOTA). ============== *JS

CAR WAS BROUGHT IN FOR TIRE NOISE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TIRES WERE WEARING UNEVENLY DUE TO MISALIGNMENT. SINCE THE DEALER DID AN ALIGNMENT IN APRIL I FELT THAT THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE. AFTER COMPLAINING FOR ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR THAT THIS WAS THE WORST TOYOTA I HAVE EVER BOUGHT (AND I HAVE HAD MANY). THE SERVICE MANAGER FINALLY RELENTED TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES AND DO A FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT FREE OF CHARGE. THEY SAID IT WAS FOR "CUSTOMER RELATIONS". OR PERHAPS TO MAKE ME DISAPPEAR. IN ANY EVENT I WAS PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS. ONLY TIME WILL TELL IF THIS ALIGNMENT HOLDS. *TR

WHEN I TAKE OFF AND GET TO EXACTLY 25 MPH, I HEAR A THUMPING FROM THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. SOUNDS LIKE THUMPING IS COMING FROM THE TIRE. IT ONLY HAPPENS UNTIL IT GETS TO 25 MPH. WHEN YOU GO PASSED 25 MPH IT STOPS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY FIVE TIMES AND THEY NEVER HEAR THE NOISE. THEY TRIED TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS PROBABLY GAS SWISHING AROUND IN THE GAS TANK. IT IS A THUMPING, NOT A SWISHING. *KB
