TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006-2009 LEXUS IS AND MODEL YEAR 2006-2007 LEXUS GS VEHICLES. DUE TO INSUFFICIENT TIGHTENING OF THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR CONNECTED TO AN ENGINE FUEL DELIVERY PIPE WITH NICKEL PHOSPHORUS PLATING, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT, OVER TIME, THE PRESSURE SENSOR COULD LOOSEN. IF LOOSENING OCCURS, FUEL COULD LEAK PAST A GASKET USED IN THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE SENSOR AND THE PIPE AND THROUGH THE THREADED PORTION OF THE SENSOR.
FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
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 IS RECALLING 214,570 MY 2006-2008 LEXUS IS, MY 2006-2007 GS AND MY 2007-2008 LS PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ALUMINUM FUEL DELIVERY PIPES (FUEL RAILS). ETHANOL FUELS WITH A LOW MOISTURE CONTENT WILL CORRODE THE INTERNAL SURFACE OF THE FUEL RAILS. AS THIS CONDITION PROGRESSES, THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT MAY ILLUMINATE.
OVER TIME, THE CORROSION MAY CREATE A PINHOLE RESULTING IN FUEL LEAKAGE. FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
MELTING DASHBOARD - CAN SIMPLY STICK A FINGERNAIL IN IT AND IT LEAVES AN INDENTATION. I NOTICED THAT OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THIS PROBLEM ALSO. IT'S ALSO VERY STICKY ANYWHERE ALONG THE LEATHER ON THE DOORS AND DASHBOARD. *TR ALSO, MY CAR IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD AND A YEAR AGO THE TOUCH SCREEN WENT OUT. I CANNOT USE THE GPS AT ALL. APPARENTLY THE COST IS ABOUT $1,000 TO FIX THIS. SEEMS REDICULOUS THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN AFTER ONLY 7 YEARS. THIS SHOULD BE GUARANTEED FOR LIFE!
MELTING DASHBOARD REFLECT SUNLIGHT ON WINDSHIELD WHICH IS BLINDING AT TIMES. ALSO MELTING DOORS STAIN AND RUIN CLOTHES. VSC SENSORS ALSO STAY ON EVEN AFTER DEALERSHIP "REPAIR" THEY RECOMMEND REPLACING TRANSMISSION @$5K BUT NO GUARANTEE PROBLEM WILL BE SOLVED.
MY DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND MELTING AND WHEN THE SUN SHINES IT CAUSES A GLARE. IT IS WORSE IN WARMER WEATHER.
AFTER PURCHASING CAR, I NOTICED DOOR PANELS SEEMED TO BE MELTING & REAL SMOOSHY WHEN YOU TOUCH IT. I TOLD DEALERSHIP & THEY JUST WANTED TO PATCH IT SO I GOT A SECOND OPINION FROM UPHOLSTERY SHOP & THEY SAID ITS REALLY NOTHING THEY CAN DO BUT PATCH IT BECAUSE ITS MOLDED!! I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE TO GET A RECALL INITIATED SO THIS CAN BE FIXED BEFORE IT GETS WORSE. *TR
