What is wrong: 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.
Risk: If the switch overheats, it may melt, possibly resulting in a fire.
Remedy: 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.

The driver's side visor does not stay up. This causes a safety issue as it can block my vision. This occurs either while stationary or moving, speed doesn't seem to effect it

My dashboard has become very shiny and sticky. Toyota has declined to fix it. It makes it hard to see the road and I almost ran into a parked car due to reduced visibility.

Rear windshield exploded while sitting in driveway on 8/15/15. Dashboard very shiny and sticky, causing a horrible glare. The glare gets so bad that sometimes I can't see other drivers. Toyota says they will replace it when parts come in, it's been 2 years since then and still no parts. In the meantime, the glare gets worse. It's just a matter of time before an accident occurs.

Engines oil being consumed at an accelerated and driver and passenger sun visors loose which hinders drivers view while driving because they flop downwards and do not stay at a recommended angle to block sun during use.

Visor recall: I noticed that the visor on the drivers side was gradually coming down and despite asking my local dealership to look into it, the problem was deferred and I was asked to wait until it got much worse. Last week it actually came close to a point of becoming detached altogether; I reviewed the warranty/extended warranty information on the issue and to my surprise I realized that was an extended warranty coverage on this problem (vehicles 2007-2011); however upon calling toyota I was told that my vehicle was never a part of the extended warranty ztt and even if it was I wouldn't qualify since I was outside of the 7 years of time limit. I never received any notification, neither the dealer made me aware of the problem, and now I am put in a position where I have to get it replaced with out of pocket expenses (not cheap ~ 295.00 parts + labor + taxes). Besides it is a safety concern the entire visor can become detached while driving potentially leading to serious injury and accidents. I had a similar issue with my electronic braking system - actuator that I had replaced by paying $2150 out of pocket and made a compliant to nhtsb and later due to a numerous compliants a wider recall was issued and I was reimbursed by toyota. Hope this issue gets looked into since there are a large number of similar complaints on the website forum.

I'm responding to the known issue. I have a sticky shiny dashboard that chips very easily. It feels like paint that's not cured.

I started to feel sticky spots on the top-side dashboard facing windshield. The soft, sticky spots were accumulating light-colored dust over the past year. They were not greasy, but extremely sticky and tacky to the touch. The accumulated dust was not cleanable or able to be removed without damaging dashboard material. (I rubbed off the top layer of plastic trying to gently clean with a wet poly towel). They were starting to reflect off my windshield during daytime driving. I ignored this issue for a while but lately noticed the interior glare is getting worse toward the front of my dashboard at the windshield junction. It's especially present on bright days where the sun is high up. This is presenting a potentially serious safety issue with regards to outward driving visibility. Toyota has been contacted and I started a problem case with them. I am awaiting further instructions on what toyota wants to do next with my vehicle. A special "warranty enhancement" has been started to address this "cosmetic concern." please look into this potentially serious safety issue to ensure toyota is addressing this problem appropriately and expeditiously for owners.

The windshield is delaminating (coming apart) at the perimeter. I am concerned that it will completely separate. The vehicle is a hybrid, which has a special noise insulating windshield.

The dash on my 2007 toyota camry hybrid is melting, leaving a thick liquidy, shiny surface that reflects the sun and makes driving unsafe. There is no visor that will protect me from reflections from this sticky shiny mess. Thousands of people have this, and toyota is not stepping up to the plate and acknowledging the defect in materials that is causing this safety issue.
