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.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A REINFORCEMENT BAR IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHICH WILL ALLOW THE PEDAL TO OPERATE SMOOTHLY. GM WILL NOTIFY OWNERS FOR THE PONTIAC VIBE PLEASE SEE 10V-018.

PURCHASED A 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA ON JAN. 31, 2009. IMMEDIATELY NOTICED "UNWANTED ACCELERATION", THE CAR WANTED TO GO WHEN STOPPED UNLESS THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED HARD AND DID NOT SLOW DOWN IMMEDIATELY WHEN FOOT WAS TAKEN OFF THE GAS PEDAL. GAS PEDAL DID NOT ALWAYS COME ALL THE WAY UP WHEN FOOT TAKEN OFF, BUT WOULD POP UP IF BRAKES APPLIED HARD. CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. MENTIONED CONCERN SEVERAL TIMES TO TOYOTA SERVICE DEPT. THEY TOLD ME THAT WHAT I WAS DESCRIBING WAS NORMAL FOR THOSE CARS. THE CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON 12/22/09. HIT ANOTHER CAR FROM BEHIND. I THINK THAT THE "NOT SLOWING DOWN IMMEDIATELY WHEN FOOT TAKEN OFF GAS PEDAL" WAS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO THE ACCIDENT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES BUT THE CAR WAS BADLY DAMAGED. TOYOTA SENT RECALL NOTICE BUT SAID VIN#'S BEGINNING IN J NOT AFFECTED. OUR CAR BEGINS WITH J. RECENTLY SEND LETTERS TO TOYOTA AND WAITING FOR REPLY. *TR

ON 2/25/10, I EXPERIENCED THE TOYOTA SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM WITH MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA LE. I WAS ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO GAIN SPEED AND CHANGE LANES. I WAS TRAVELING I71 NORTH IN CINCINNATI, OHIO. THE CAR DOWNSHIFTED AND IMMEDIATELY RAN FULL THROTTLE. THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS ALSO AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM AS I WAS UNABLE TO TOTALLY STOP THE CAR. THE ENGINE RAN UP OVER 7500 RPM, SO I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AS I WAS INSTRUCTED THROUGH THE MEDIA. I WAS LOSING SPEED AND I STILL NEEDED TO GET OVER 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO A SAFE SPOT ON THE BERM. I PLACED THE CAR BACK IN GEAR AND WAS RAPIDLY GOING OVER 80 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER AND WHEN I TRIED TO SLOW THE CAR WHILE IN GEAR, I COULDN'T GET IT BELOW 45 MPH WITH BOTH FEET PUSHING HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I AGAIN PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE WAS AGAIN RUNNING AT FULL THROTTLE WHILE I WAS IN PARK. I TURNED ON THE 4 WAY FLASHERS AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. I WAITED AND TRIED TO START THE CAR AGAIN SO MY WIFE COULD HEAR IT ON THE PHONE AND AGAIN IT RAN FULL THROTTLE. ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER STARTED THE CAR AND IT RAN NORMALLY. THE KINGS TOYOTA DEALER INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE GAS PEDAL RECALL LIST. AFTER HAVING A TOYOTA FIELD ENGR. LOOK AT MY CAR IT WAS DETERMINED THAT NO PROBLEM COULD BE FOUND, THAT THE COMPUTER HEALTH REPORT SHOWED NO PROBLEM IN THE HISTORY FILE AND THE WAS RELEASED BACK TO ME ON 3/2/10 WITH A NO PROBLEM FOUND DIAGNOSIS. THEY ASSURED ME THAT MY CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND PUT MY FAMILY IN. BUNK!!!! I NO LONGER WANT THIS CAR, I WOULD LIKE TO BE RELEASED FROM THE REMAINING 13 MONTHS OF MY LEASE AND I WILL LOOK FOR ANOTHER CAR AND NOT A TOYOTA. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT I NEVER WAS INJURED OR THAT I INJURED SOME ELSE. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING HARSH PAIN IN MY NECK, SHOULDERS AND ARMS SINCE THE INCIDENT DUE TO FIGHTING TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I AM GOING TO SEE MY DOCTOR. *TR
