WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY LATE IN THE EVENING WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW IMPLODED. THE GLASS LITERALLY CRUMBLED INTO TINY PIECES AND FELL INTO THE CAR, FRONT LEFT AND REAR LEFT SIDE. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED BEFORE, NOBODY HAD EVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS. MY OWN GOOGLE RESEARCH HAS PROVEN THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER PEOPLE, AND PERHAPS THE DEALERSHIP WAS BEING LESS THAN HONEST WITH ME. MY FEAR IS THAT THERE IS A DEFECT AND THAT I, OR OTHER PEOPLE DRIVING THIS CAR CAN BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE. *TR

NO INCIDENT YET. BUT A CONSTANT STEERING PROBLEM FROM DAY 1. STEERING OVERLY SENSITIVE AND NEEDS CONSTANT ADJUSTMENT TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. IF ADJUST TOO OFTEN STARTS TO SMOKE! CAN'T DRIVE FOR LONG BECAUSE OF STRESS. EVERY TOUCH ON THE STEERING WHEEL MOVES THE STEERING! BROUGHT TO TOYOTA TO REPAIR TWICE, TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS, BUT ONLY ALIGNED THE TIRES AND ADJUSTED THE STEERING TILT--MECHANICAL NON-NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS BUT NO TECHNICAL REPAIR. BROUGHT TO AN OUTSIDE MECHANIC WHO SAID THE STEERING OF TOO LOOSE AND NEEDED TOYOTA TECHNICAL ADJUSTMENT (AFTER TEST DRIVING AND COMING BACK WITH A VERY OVERPOWERING SMOKE SMELL!). GAVE UP ON TOYOTA TAKING THE PROBLEM SERIOUSLY AND COMPETENTLY WORKING ON MY CAR. JUST DRIVE IT ON SHORT TRIPS AROUND TOWN, AND THOUGH CONSTANT SWERVING IN MY LANE, NO ACCIDENT YET, THANK GOD. WILL RENT A NORMAL-STEERING CAR FOR LONG TRIPS, WILL NEVER BUY TOYOTA AGAIN. WOULD TRADE THIS ONE IN BUT IT WAS A GIFT AND I LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT IT, EXCEPT FOR THE UNSAFE STEERING ESPECIALLY ABOVE 40 MPH AND THE UNCOMFORTABLE SEAT THAT MAKES LONG TRIPS OUT OF THE QUESTION BECAUSE OF RESULTING BACKACHES. MAIN PROBLEM IN A NUTSHELL: POWER-STEERING OVERCORRECTS AND TOO LOOSE; NEEDS CONSTANT BACK AND FORTH ADJUSTMENT IN VAIN EFFORT TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. THANK YOU FOR YOU ATTENTION TO THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. *TR

Oct 22, 2015
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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: 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.
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the switch, applying a lubricant if no abnormality is found. If abnormality is found, the PWMS circuit board will be replaced, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 20, 2015. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is C0M.
Apr 9, 2014
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2006-2008 RAV4, 2006-2010 Yaris, 2008-2010 Highlander, and 2009-2010 Tacoma, Corolla, Corolla Matrix and General Motors Pontiac Vibe vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the steering column assembly contains electrical connections to the driver's airbag module housed in a spiral cable assembly, which includes a Flexible Flat Cable (FFC). Due to the shape and location of the FFC's retainer, the FFC could become damaged when the steering wheel is turned.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the FFC is damaged, connectivity to the driver's air bag module could be lost and the air bag deactivated. The failure of the driver's air bag to deploy in the event of a crash that typically necessitates deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver.
Remedy: Toyota will notify the Toyota vehicle owners, and General Motors will notify the Pontiac Vibe owners. Toyota sent owners an interim notification letter in May 2014 to advise owners of the recall. Toyota will mail owners a second letter when remedy parts are available. General Motors sent Pontiac Vibe owners an Interim letter on June 20, 2014 notifying them that parts are currently unavailable. General Motors sent notices to the Pontiac Vibe owners on September 15, 2014, that a remedy is available. The recall began on October 27, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

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.
