I WENT OUT TO THE GARAGE TO VERIFY THAT THE GARAGE DOOR WAS CLOSED AND HEARD SOMETHING HUMMING IN THE GARAGE. UPON INVESTIGATING THE SOUND IT TURNED OUT TO BE COMING FROM UNDER THE REAR OF THE CAR. THE ONLY THING THAT MADE SENSE TO ME WAS THE FUEL PUMP WAS RUNNING. I PROCEEDED TO GET THE KEYS AND CYCLED THE IGNITION TO ON WITHOUT STARTING THE CAR AND THEN BACK TO OFF. THE HUMMING STOPPED. I DID REMEMBER HEARING A SECOND HUMMING SOUND START AND STOP WHEN TURNING THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION, WHICH WOULD BE THE NORMAL FUEL PUMP CYCLING FOR AN ENGINE START SEQUENCE. I AM WONDERING IF WHAT I ORIGINALLY HEARD MAY HAVE BEEN A RELIEF VALVE SLOWLY BLEEDING OFF PRESSURE, BUT I AM NOT SURE IF THERE IS A RELIEF VALVE SOMEWHERE IN THE BACK OF THE CAR. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY OVERNIGHT FOR PIECE OF MIND. THIS DID ALL OCCUR BETWEEN 4-5 HOURS AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED. I WILL BE CONTACTING MY TOYOTA DEALER REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE CAR SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE NEEDLE WENT TO ZERO, THE TACHOMETER FLUCTUATES OUT OF CONTROL UP AND DOWN, THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON, THE LIGHTS THAT INDICATE WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN TURNED OFF, THE GAS GAUGE APPEARS TO STILL WORK OKAY, BUT THE MILEAGE STOPS CALCULATING ALTHOUGH THE DIGITAL DISPLAY IS STILL ON JUST NOT COUNTING MILEAGE. I HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING OR IF MY CAR WILL EITHER NOT STOP DUE TO BRAKE LIGHTS BEING ON OR JUST CUT OFF SINCE THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. THE AIR CONDITIONING ALSO STOPPED WORKING. THIS HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, THEN AS QUICKLY AS IT STOPPED, IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. IT HAS NOW DONE THIS EACH DAY AT MULTIPLE TIMES DURING EACH TRIP FOR THE PAST 3 DAYS SINCE THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED. NOT KNOWING HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND SOUNDS LIKE THIS ISSUE HAS COME UP BEFORE WITH OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

13V442000 · Air Bags; Electrical System; Equipment:appliance:air Conditioner

Oct 17, 2013

Toyota is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Avalon, Avalon HV, Venza, Camry, and Camry HV vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the drain hose for the air conditioning condenser may become clogged causing water to accumulate at the bottom of the air conditioning condenser unit housing. The accumulated water may then leak through a seam in the housing onto the air bag control module potentially resulting in a short circuit of the module.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: A short circuit may cause the air bags to become disabled or inadvertently deploy. An inadvertent airbag deployment can increase the risk of injury or the possibility of a crash. An inoperative airbag can increase the risk of injury in a severe crash. The power steering assist could also become inoperable resulting in increased steering effort and can increase the risk of a crash at low speeds.

Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will seal the air conditioning condenser unit housing and install a protective cover on the airbag control module, free of charge. The recall began on February 5, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Electrical System; Structure:body; Unknown Or Other

On October 10, 2012, Toyota initiated a safety recall of approximately 2.5 million U.S. vehicles involving the following models and model years:2007-2009 Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2009 Corolla and Corolla Matrix, 2008 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid, 2007-2009 RAV4, 2008-2009 Scion xB and xD, 2008-2009 Sequoia, 2007-2008 Tundra, 2007-2008 Yaris, and 2009 Pontiac Vibe.See NHTSA recall number 12V-491 for more details, including the affected vehicle manufacture dates for each vehicle model.Note that only early-production 2009 model year vehicles are included in the recall.Toyota and GM dealers will inspect the power window master switch (PWMS) assemblies and apply a specialized grease that inhibits heat build-up.The circuit board in the PWMS may be replaced with a new one if notchy or sticking feeling is observed during the inspection.The failure report summary above shows counts for the vehicles identified at the start of this Engineering Analysis, specifically the approximately 1.4 million vehicles that share an identical PWMS assembly design including, model year 2007-2009 Camry, Camry Hybrid, RAV4, and Yaris built from September 2006 through August 2008, as well as all 2008 Highlander Hybrid.Toyota subsequently identified approximately one million additional vehicles that have a slightly different PWMS design but contain the same defect condition.Note that the totals for complaints and fires shown above may include duplicative reports (between ODI and manufacturer reports).This Engineering Analysis is closed.See attached report for additional information.The ODI reports cited above can be viewed at www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchNHTSAID under the following identification numbers: 10323848, 10360414, 10392622, 10394453, 10411328, 10429983, 10436663, 10446699, 10447416, 10447417, 10447419, 10447444, 10447515, 10447845, 10447947, 10449270, 10450133, 10450568, 10450606, 10450641, 10451821, 10455540, 10455614, 10456353, 10456438, 10457854, 10457955, 10459730, 10460166, 10460691, 10461220, 10462140, 10462200, 10462247, 10462404, 10462705, 10462761, 10464451, 10464769, 10465421, 10466279, 10466667, 10468126, 10468265, 10475230, 10470313, 10470684, 10471551, 10471824, 10472336, 10472910, 10473753, 10473967, 10473969, 10476921, 10477469, 10478563 and 10478657.

SUMMARY: TOYOTA RECOVERED SOME FAILED IGNITION CONTROL MODULES FROM THEFIELD. INVESTIGATION SHOWED THAT A SOLDER JOINT IN THE POWER TRANSISTOROF THE MODULE WAS SUBJECT TO FAILURE. BECAUSE THE PART IS AN EMISSIONRELATED COMPONENT A VOLUNTARY EMISSIONS RECALL CAMPAIGN WAS CONDUCTED.THE PREDOMINANT MODE OF FAILURE IS AN INABILITY TO START THE ENGINE,ALTHOUGH A STALLED CONDITION CAN OCCUR WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.SINCE THE REPORTED OCCURENCE OF ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES IS SMALL, AND THEREPAIR IS BEING CONDUCTED UNDER THE EMISSIONS RECALL CAMPAIGN, THELIKLEHOOD OF FURTHER ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES IS REMOTE.===
