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 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 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.
I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS MENTIONED IN CONSUMER COMPLAINT: ODI CASE NUMBER: 10188438 (COMPONENT: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL). WHENEVER I START UP A STEEP OR SLIGHTLY STEEP HILL WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE CAR DOESN'T START TO ACCELERATE SOON ENOUGH. THEN, IT APPEARS TO ACCELERATE ALL AT ONCE. I HAVE STARTED ACCELERATING THE CAR MYSELF, RATHER THAN ALLOWING THE CRUISE CONTROL TO ACCELERATE, ON HILLS. AS STATED IN THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS FINE ON FAIRLY LEVEL GROUND.
CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY ON ROLLING HILLS WHICH IS LIKELY GOING TO CAUSE COLLISIONS. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL ALLOW THE SPEED TO DECREASE BY AS MUCH AS 5 MPH WHILE DESCENDING DOWN THE A HILL, THEN AS IT BEGINS TO CLIMB IT QUICKLY ACCELERATES WAY OVER THE TARGET SPEED. THIS CAUSES A WHIPLASH EFFECT TO ALL PASSENGERS AND MAY CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL AND COLLIDE WITH VEHICLES. *TR
AT 12:55 P.M. I WAS PULLING FORWARD IN TO A PARKING SPACE WHERE THERE WAS A CURB AND A TREE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OVER THE CURB, IN TARTAN PARK IN BLOOMINGTON MINNESOTA. MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2008 GAS PEDAL BECAME STUCK AND I WENT OVER THE CURB AND SLAMMED INTO THE TREE AND THREW ME BACK. PEOPLE TOLD ME AT THE PARK THAT THIS WAS ONE OF THE CARS THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM, I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. I COULD HAVE RUN RIGHT IN TO THE CHILDREN PLAYING IF IT WASN'T FOR THE TREE. *TR UPDATED 10/15/14
