Air bags, air bag/restraint control moduleJan 17, 2020
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2011-2019 Corolla, 2011-2013 Matrix, 2012-2018 Avalon, and 2013-2018 Avalon Hybrid vehicles. During certain crashes, the air bag electronic control unit (ECU) may malfunction, possibly disabling the deployment of the air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners.
In the event of a crash, air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners that do not deploy as intended may increase the risk of injury.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the ECU and install a noise filter between the air bag control module and its wire harness, as necessary, free of charge. Owners were notified of the safety risk beginning March 2, 2020. A second letter notifying owners of the remedy repair will be mailed between March 16, 2020 and June 27, 2020. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 20TB03, 20TA03 and 20TA05.

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.

Other or unspecified, Service brakes, Jul 9, 2015
ON JULY 3, 2015 WHEN AT FIRST MY CAR WOULDN'T START, I ASKED SOMEONE TO LOOK AT MY CAR AND IT WAS NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WAS VERY LOW JUST TO THE POINT OF EMPTY. I WAS VERY CONCERN BECAUSE AT NO POINT PRIOR TO THIS DISCOVERY, THE "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT DID NOT FLASH OR APPEAR ON TO INFORM ME TO THIS ISSUE! I CALLED AUTO DEALER AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ROUTINE OIL/MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND REQUESTED THAT THIS MATTER BE RESEARCHED AS TO WHY NO "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT WORKED; TO ALSO FLUSH THE BRAKE SYSTEM TO CHECK FOR AIR IN THE HOSE ETC...; HOWEVER VERY DISAPPOINTMENT WITH AUTO SERVICE REPLY: I WAS BASICALLY TOLD THAT THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WAS NOT LOW ENOUGH FOR THE "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT TO ACTIVATED; HOWEVER WHEN THE CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED; THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY NOISY AND ONCE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL FILLED, THE NOISE STOPPED. I BELIEVE THAT DUE TO THE "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT NOT BEING ACTIVATED WAS A GREAT SAFETY RISK TO MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHERS.

Power train, May 9, 2015
CAR DOES NOT ENGAGE IN GEAR WHEN FIRST STARTED AND PLACED IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. IT REMAINS IN NEUTRAL (EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFT LEVER IS IN DRIVE OR REVERSE POSITION), THEN GRADUALLY SLIDES INTO GEAR. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC FROM CURBSIDE, PARKED POSITION. THE CAR DOES NOT GO WHEN ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED. IT IS HARD TO TIME WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WILL ENGAGE AND THE CAR WILL GO. YOU MIGHT GET LUCKY AND ENTER THE STREAM OF TRAFFIC SAFELY OR GET HIT BECAUSE THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED. DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM BUT EACH TIME I GET IT BACK IT DOES IT AGAIN.
