Toyota Motor Company (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 Tundra, Sequoia, Corolla, Corolla Matrix and Scion xB, 2008-2011 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid, 2007 Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2009 Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2006-2011 RAV4, 2006-2010 Yaris, and 2009-2010 Scion xD and Pontiac Vibe vehicles. During the manufacturing of the Power Window Master Switch (PWMS), grease lubricant may have been inconsistently applied to the sliding electrical contacts.
If the sliding electrical contacts are not protected by lubricant, debris and moisture that get into the switch may cause a short circuit and the switch assembly may overheat and melt, increasing the risk of a fire.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the switch, applying a lubricant if no abnormality is found. If abnormality is found, the PWMS circuit board will be replaced, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 20, 2015. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is C0M.

Air bags, frontal, driver side, inflator moduleApr 9, 2014
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2006-2008 RAV4, 2006-2010 Yaris, 2008-2010 Highlander, and 2009-2010 Tacoma, Corolla, Corolla Matrix and General Motors Pontiac Vibe vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the steering column assembly contains electrical connections to the driver's airbag module housed in a spiral cable assembly, which includes a Flexible Flat Cable (FFC). Due to the shape and location of the FFC's retainer, the FFC could become damaged when the steering wheel is turned.
If the FFC is damaged, connectivity to the driver's air bag module could be lost and the air bag deactivated. The failure of the driver's air bag to deploy in the event of a crash that typically necessitates deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver.
Toyota will notify the Toyota vehicle owners, and General Motors will notify the Pontiac Vibe owners. Toyota sent owners an interim notification letter in May 2014 to advise owners of the recall. Toyota will mail owners a second letter when remedy parts are available. General Motors sent Pontiac Vibe owners an Interim letter on June 20, 2014 notifying them that parts are currently unavailable. General Motors sent notices to the Pontiac Vibe owners on September 15, 2014, that a remedy is available. The recall began on October 27, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-762-2737.

Toyota is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 Camry, Camry Hybrid, RAV4, Corolla, Corolla Matrix, Tundra, Sequoia, Highlander, Highlander Hybrid, Yaris, Scion xB, Scion xD and Pontiac Vibe vehicles. The power window master switch assemblies in some of these vehicles were built using a less precise process for lubricating the internal components of the switch assemblies. Irregularities in this lubrication process may cause the power window master switch assemblies to malfunction and overheat.
If the switch overheats, it may melt, possibly resulting in a fire.
Toyota will notify its owners, and dealers will inspect the switch and apply a special grease that inhibits heat build up or replace any switch damaged by the defect, free of charge. Toyota owners that experience a problem with a switch should not attempt to make repairs, but should contact their Toyota dealer or the Toyota Customer Experience Center at 1-800-331-4331. General Motors will contact the Pontiac Vibe owners affected by this recall and GM dealers will inspect and repair switches as necessary. Those owners may contact Pontiac Customer Care at 1-800-762-2737.

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.

I STARTED NOTICING A KNOCKING IN MY ENGINE. I REPORTED IT TO THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON 9-9-14. I WAS TOLD BY THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT( THE ONE THAT HAS DONE ALL OF MY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE) " NO ABNORMAL SOUNDS HEARD AT THIS TIME." IN HIND SIGHT MAYBE THEY DIDN'T HEAR THE NOISE BECAUSE SHE WAS LOW ON OIL AND ONLY LISTEND FOR THE NOISE AFTER THE OIL CHANGE. I WAS NEVER TOLD THAT I SHOULD CHECK MY OIL FOR LEAKAGE IN BETWEEN MY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE! I CHECKED MY OIL ONE DAY AT RANDOM AFTER I HEARD KNOCKING AGAIN AND SHE WAS VERY LOW ON OIL. I TOOK HER TO TOYOTA AND TOLD THEM SHE WAS CONSUMING OIL. THEY SUGGESTED A FUEL INDUCTION SERVICE FOR WHICH THEY DID ON 1-12-17, WHICH DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. ON 9-12-17 AT HER NEXT APPOINTMENT I REPORTED AGAIN THE OIL USAGE.OUTCOME; " PERFORMED INSPECTION, FOUND SLIGHT OIL SEEPAGE AT ENGINE OIL PAN. PCV SYSTEM IS WORKING. ENGINE MUST BE BURNING OIL. PISTONS AND RINGS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED." BIG SURPRISE THERE. I WAS SO NAIVE BUT I DID TAKE HER TO DIFFERENT TOYOTA SERVICE PLACE FOR A SECOND OPINION. AND YES YOU GUESSED IT ANOTHER ENGINE OIL CLEANER SERVICE. AND SUGGESTED PISTON AND RINGS REPLACED. IT WAS A MECHANIC FRIEND THAT WE TOOK HER TO THAT KINDLY DID SOME SEARCHING AND FOUND THAT TOYOTA HAD ISSUED A TSB ON AUGUST 11, 2011[1](# FN:1) TO DEALERSHIPS WHICH SAYS: " SOME 2006-2011 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE 2AZ-FE ENGINE MAY EXHIBIT ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE PISTON ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN CHANGED TO MINIMIZE OIL CONSUMPTION." AND THAT PO3O# (CYLINDER # MISFIRE DETECTED) DTC MAY ALSO BE SET AS A RESULT OF OIL CONSUPTION" OBVIOUSLY THERE WAS THERE IS A DESIGN ERROR OF THE PISTONS.

ALL SUBSEQUENT OIL LOSS WAS NORMAL. MY ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO GO ON ..COILS STARTED MISFIRING BUT WHEN I PUTIN THE OIL IT WOULD CLEAR OUT. TOYOTA SAID NOT CONNECTED. THEY BEGAN ANOTHER OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IN SEPTEMBER 2016 AND NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE FIXED. STILL SAYING IT'S NOT RELATED TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION.

WE WERE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WHILE WE HEARD SOME NOISE CAME FROM THE FRONT OF OUR CAR. WE THOUGHT WE HIT SOME METAL, SO WE SLOWED DOWN AND CHANGED TO THE SLOW LANE, THEN THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN BY ITSELF, AND THE STEERING WHEEL COULDN'T MOVE FREELY. WE PULLED OVER, OPENED THE FRONT, AND SAW SOME SMOKE AND SOME LIQUID FELL DOWN. WE SPENT $300 FOR TOWING OUR CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BOUGHT OUR CAR FROM. AND WE WERE TOLD THAT IT IS THE WATER PUMP PULLEY FAILED THAT CAUSE THE DRIVE BELT BROKE AND ENGINE OVERHEATED...I WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIR WILL CAUSE ABOUT $4000 FOR A SECOND-HAND ENGINE!! OUR 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA WAS BOUGHT NEW IN NOVEMBER, 2008 AND ONLY HAS 68000 MILES ON IT. WE JUST DID THE OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP 5 DAYS AFTER THIS HAPPEN! NOW THE CAR IS SITTING AT THE PARKING LOT OF THE DEALERSHIP, WE CONTACTED THE SERVICE MANAGER ON THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVE A POSITIVE RESPOND YET. THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT IT PASS THE WARRANTY, HOWEVER, WHEN I DID THE RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT NOT ONLY ME HAS THIS PROBLEM, THERE ARE 35 MORE COMPLAIN ON RECORD ABOUT THE WATER PUMP FAILURE. I BELIEVE TOYOTA SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THE WATER PUMP AND RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. RED OIL LIGHT COMES ON WHEN YOU TURN AND STOP VEHICLE BEFORE MANUFACTURER CHANGE INTERVAL. TOOK TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND THE VEHICLE PASSED. TOYOTA FAILS TO PROVIDE ANY TECHNICAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE TEST SUCH AS WHAT OIL TYPE USED, AMOUNTED ADDED, AMOUNT BURNED. THIS IS THE SECOND TSB REFUSED BY TOYOTA FOR THIS VEHICLE TO GET OUT OF SAFETY RECALL AND LAWSUITS. MY FIRST SAFETY COMPLAINT WAS TO GET TBS FOR LOOSE COMPUTER ASSISTED STEERING. TOYTOTA REFUSED BASED ON TIME PASSED AND MILEAGE OF VEHICLE.

2009 TOYOTA COROLLA, ENGINE WILL GO INTO A "MODE" WHERE IT REVS UP TO 2000 RPM ON ITS OWN. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL WILL NOT DO ANYTHING, STILL STAYS ON 2000 RPM UNTIL ENGINE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED, ONE SHOP SUGGESTED I REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY ($1400) DID AND STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO REPLACED THE GAS PEDAL ASSY. ($35.00 USED) STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. CAR MAY GO DAYS OR WEEKS BETWEEN EVENTS. WHEN IT HAPPENS ON A FREEWAY, IT IS VERY BAD, THE CAR SLOWS AND YOU CAN NOT ACCELERATE IN ANY WAY, YOU MUST PULL OVER AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE. VERY DANGEROUS! THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN TRAVELING AT 65MPH AND ALSO AT 5MPH COMING TO A STOP SIGN.

MY WIFE WAS TRAVELLING ON I-270 NEAR COLUMBUS, OH ON 6/19/2016 AFTERNOON (AROUND 2 PM) IN A TOYOTA COROLLA S 2009. SHE TOOK AN EXIT 22B AT AROUND 60-65 MPH AND THE VEHICLE AFTER GIVING BRIEF BEEPS SUFFERED FROM AN ABRUPT ENGINE STALL. SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE MOMENTARILY AS THE STEERING AND BREAK JAMMED. SHE REGAINED CONTROL AFTER GREAT EFFORT AND PULLED OVER THE VEHICLE AT THE ROADSIDE. THE CAR DID NOT START IMMEDIATELY BUT STARTED AFTER ABOUT 30 MINS AND RAN PROPERLY AFTER THAT BUT WITH SOME MINOR VIBRATION POST 60 MPH SPEED.

I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH EXCESIVE AMOUNT OF OIL CONSUMPTION SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS CONSUMING OIL WHILE DOING RANDOM CHECKS ON THE CAR. AFTER THAT I LOOKED ON-LINE FOR SOLUTION AND FOUND PAGES AFTER PAGE AND WEBSITE AFTER WEBSITE OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE SINCE 2009 TO NOW AND TOYOTA NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I SINCE CONTINUED CHECKING AND TOPING THE ENGINE OIL UNTIL DECEMBER WHEN MY CAR STARTED TO STALL WHEN I STOPPED AT A LIGHT. IT WOULD TRY TO IDLE AROUND 500-600 RPM BUT COULDNT AND THEN THE ENGINE WOULD BRING IT UP TO 800 RPM. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND TURNED OUT MY PISTON RINGS ARE THE PROBLEM. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION ONLINE I SAW THAT THE PISTON AND PISTON RINGS ARE THE PROBLEM ON THE TOYOTA 2ZRFE ENGINE AND MAY OTHER ENGINES. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND SCHEDULED A DAY TO HAVE THIS CHECKED WHEN I GOT THERE IN FEBURAY I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN DOESNT HAVE THIS ISSUE I EXPLAINED I AM HAVING THIS ISSUE AND WAS TURNED AWAY. I CALLED 1800 NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO ISSUE AND THE ONLINE IS JUST THAT PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT A PROBLEM THAT DOESNT EXIST. UNTIL APRIL WHEN MY ENGINE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FAST. WHEN I WENT ON THE HIGH WAY WITH IT IT FELT LIKE MY ENGINE POWER WAS A 3RD OR LESS BECUASE I WAS HAVING HARD TIME ACCELERATING FASTER THAN SEMIS WHO WERE STARTING FROM STAND STILL. SINCE THEN I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH BBB AND ATTORNEY GENERAL AND GOT A CALL FROM "TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CASE #1606030224" AND WAS TOLD BY JEFFERY MOORE THAT THE KITS FOR THE FIX ARE SHIPPING NOW AND TO TAKE IT FOR REPAIR ON 5/26/2016 AND I TOOK THE CAR IN A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER AND THEY CHECKED THE OIL AND PUT STICKERS ON THE CAR AND TOLD ME TO COME BACK AFTER 1100 MILES. AFTER TWO DAYS OF DOING THAT I GOT AN EMAIL AND A CALL. I CALLED BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX IT AND THEY CONTACTED THE REGIONAL MANAGE AND HE SAID NO.

AT 54,000 MILES, 57,000 AND 59,000 MILES I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER AFTER EXPERIENCING OIL CONSUMPTION, ONE QUART EVERY 1,000 MILES OR SO. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL CONSUMPTION, EACH TIME, WHICH I STILL DIDN'T BELIEVE AND RETURNED TO COMPLAIN AS A MATTER OF RECORD. THE CAR HAS 74,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS AT THE TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER EXHIBITING A KNOCK IN THE ENGINE. NOW, BECAUSE THERE IS A KNOCK IN THE ENGINE THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST CANNOT BE DONE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE TOYOTA CENTER THREE PREVIOUS TIMES AND NO OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS OFFERED ANY TIME I RAISED THE ISSUE. NOW TOYOTA SAYS THEY CAN'T PERFORM THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, AND SINCE THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS A REQUIREMENT FOR AUTHORIZED REPAIR/REPLACEMENT TOYOTA WILL NOT HONOR THERE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTIFICATION - ZE7 LETTER. HOW THIS HAPPENED, I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM CITY DRIVING AND WITHIN 1 MILE OF MY HOME AND I HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I STOPPED THE CAR AND OPENED THE HOOD TO INSPECT THE ENGINE AREA. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND NOTICED AN ENGINE NOISE. THE CAR WAS THEN PULLED TO THE DRIVEWAY AND HAULED TO THE SERVICE CENTER ON A FLATBED TOWING TRUCK. I AM NOW WAITING FOR THE TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER, WHO TOLD ME THE CAR CANNOT BE COVERED BY TOYOTA UNLESS I PAY A PORTION OF THE REPAIR COST. THIS IS AN ADMISSION OF THE PROBLEM (GUILT), AND IS NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LETTER I RECEIVED. THE LETTER CLEARLY STATES, CONDUCT AN ENGINE CONSUMPTION TEST TO BE CONSIDERED FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. HOW CAN THIS BE DONE, WHEN THE SERVICE CENTER FAILED TO SUBJECT THIS CAR TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION ON THREE OCCASIONS? I, ATTEMPTED ON THREE OCCASIONS TO OBTAIN SERVICE AND WAS DENIED, NOW I AM AT FAULT? IT IS MY OPINION TOYOTA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR/ REPLACEMENT, AS THERE WAS TIME TO CONDUCT THE TEST AND TIME TO AVERT THE PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE.

CAR WAS TAKEN IN FOR OIL CHANGE AT MILEAGE DUE AND TOYOTA DEALERSHIP STATED OIL DIPSTICK WAS TOTALLY DRY AND TO CHECK IT AT HALFWAY MARK OF MILES. CAR IS NOT DUE YET FOR OIL CHANGE UNTIL ABOUT 95,000 MILES AND AT HALFWAY MARK OIL WAS ALREADY DOWN TO LAST MARK ON DIPSTICK. CAR WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA AND THEY STATED 2009 COROLLA WAS NOT PART OF LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN OF OTHER VEHICLES EXHIBITING SAME PROBLEMS AS MY CAR. DEALER SAID TO JUST ADD OIL IN BETWEEN CHANGES AND I EXPLAINED THAT CAR SHOULD NOT BE CONSUMING OIL AT THIS STAGE AND THEY AGREED BUT STATED I WOULD HAVE TO COVER REPAIRS WHICH MIGHT COST BETWEEN $2,000-3,000 BECAUSE OF CAR NOT BEING PART OF CAMPAIGN WITH OTHER MAKES WHICH WERE ALSO HAVING SAME PROBLEM WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AT AROUND SAME MILEAGE. I STARTED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST SO THAT IT WOULD BE ON RECORD. IF OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM, 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN OF EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AS IT WAS INCLUDED FOR MOST OF THE OTHER RECALLS AND CAMPAIGNS. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND SEEN MANY OTHERS WITH SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR WITH SAME COMPLAINTS AND DEALER DOES NOTHING TO FIX PROBLEM.
