WHEN THE REAR DRIVER-SIDE SEAT IS FOLDED DOWN, THE SEAT BELT RECEPTACLE FOR THE CENTER SEAT BELT IS DRAWN UNDER THE SEAT AND REQUIRES QUITE A BIT OF EFFORT TO FISH OUT. THIS HAPPENED EVEN WHEN MY WIFE WAS HOLDING THE SEAT BELT RECEPTACLE AND TRYING TO KEEP IT FROM BEING SUCKED UNDER THE SEAT. THIS RECEPTACLE EVENTUALLY SHATTERED AND JAMMED THE SEAT TO WHERE IT WOULD NOT MOVE BACK AND FORTH. TOYOTA REPAIRED IT IN DECEMBER 2010, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE TOYOTA SERVICE ADVISOR AND TECHNICIAN SAID THAT IT WAS REPAIRED CORRECTLY AND THERE WAS NOTHING FURTHER THAT COULD BE DONE. SAFETY-RELATED ITEM SUCH AS THE SEAT BELT RECEPTACLE SHOULD NOT BECOME UNUSABLE IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF OPERATING THE CAR SEAT AS DESCRIBED ON PP. 29-30 OF THE OWNER'S MANUAL FOR THE 2008 SCION XD. *LN

THE ABS LIGHT IN MY CAR KEEPS COMING ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (BAY RIDGE TOYOTA, BROOKLYN, NY) THREE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT WITH A LETTER FOR A RECALL ON SOMETHING RELATED TO THE BRAKES. THE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS AND THE BRAKES SOMETIMES FEEL SPONGY AND ARE NOT AS RESPONSIVE. I TOOK THE CAR AGAIN TODAY, AND EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS STILL UNDER THE NEW CAR WARRANTY, THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $94 DOLLARS TO JUST LOOK AT IT. AGAIN, I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR 3 TIMES. AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE. I WANT ALL THIS RECORDED IN CASE THE BRAKES STOP WORKING AND SOMETHING HAPPENS. I FEEL LIKE NO ONE IS LISTENING TO ME. THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY!!!! ALSO THE SEATBELT LIGHTS COME ON EVEN WHEN I HAVE THE SEATBELT ON. *TR
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 Yaris vehicles manufactured August 22, 2005, through May 12, 2010, and 2008-2010 Scion xD vehicles manufactured April 4, 2007, through May 12, 2010. In the affected vehicles, the springs used for the seat rails on the driver's seat and the seat rails of the front passenger seat of three-door models may break.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the spring breaks, the seat may not lock in position. In the event of a vehicle crash, the seat could move increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant.
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat rail, and replace it with a new one, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on July 3, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: 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.
