CERTAIN ALL WEATHER FLOOR MATS (AWFM) SPECIFICALLY SOLD AS AN OPTIONAL ACCESSORY FOR USE ON THE 2007 AND 2008 MODEL YEAR LEXUS ES350 AND TOYOTA CAMRY VEHICLES. THE AWFM INCLUDES TWO GROMMET HOLES AND RETAINING HOOKS (CLIPS) TO SECURE THE MAT TO THE VEHICLE'S CARPET. IF THE AWFM IS NOT SECURED BY ITSELF OR IF IT IS PLACED ON TOP OF AN EXISTING CARPETING FLOOR MAT, THE MAT COULD MOVE FORWARD DURING THE VEHICLE USAGE AND IT MAY INTERFERE WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.
Fix: TOYOTA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS OF ALL 2007 AND 2008 LEXUS ES350 AND TOYOTA CAMRY VEHICLES ABOUT THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH NOT ALL OF THESE OWNERS WILL HAVE PURCHASED THE ALL WEATHER MATS. IF THE OWNER HAD NOT PURCHASED THE MATS, THEY ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. THIS LETTER WILL ADVISE OWNERS WHEN REPLACEMENT MATS WILL BE AVAILABLE OR HOW TO RETURN THE ALL WEATHER FLOOR MAT SET TO OBTAIN A REFUND. A SECOND LETTER WILL BE SENT AFTER MATS ARE AVAILABLE REQUESTING OWNERS TO RETURN THEIR MATS TO A LEXUS OR TOYOTA DEALER FOR EXCHANGE OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE MAT.

THE CD PLAYER HAS PROBLEMS LOADING THE CD. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO CD IN THE DRIVE - IT KEEPS SAYING READING CD, NOT ALLOWING THE CD IN. WE HAD THIS PROBLEM ONLY ABOUT 2YEARS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE NEW. *TR
THE VISOR ON MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY BROKE. UP UNTIL NOW I HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE CAR EXCEPT THAT THE CD PLAYER ONLY WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. ENDED UP HAVING TO TAKE VISOR OFF; COULD NOT DRIVE WITH IT LIKE THAT. *TT
I HAVE RECEIVED 2 FLOORMAT RECALL NOTICES FROM TOYOTA. IN THEIR 2ND FLOORMAT RECALL NOTICE, TOYOTA STATES "AS AN ADDITIONAL MEASURE INDEPENDENT OF THE VEHICLE-BASED RECALL REMEDY, TOYOTA WILL INSTALL A NEWLY DESIGNED OVERRIDE SYSTEM IN YOUR VEHICLE TO PROVIDE AN EXTRA MEASURE OF CONFIDENCE. THIS SYSTEM WILL CUT ENGINE POWER IN CASE OF SIMULTANEOUS APPLICATION OF BOTH ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDALS AT CERTAIN SPEEDS AND DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS INSTALLATION WILL ALSO BE CONDUCTED AT NO CHARGE TO YOU." MY DEALER HAS ADVISED ME THAT I HAVE THE PROPER FLOORMAT AND IT IS PROPERLY INSTALLED THEREFORE HE CANNOT INSTALL ONLY THE OVERRIDE SYSTEM. HE STATES ALL 3 MODIFICATIONS MUST BE DONE. AS TOYOTA'S RECALL NOTICE CLEARLY STATES THE OVERRIDE SYSTEM WILL BE INSTALLED "INDEPENDENT...." THIS EXTRA MEASURE OF CONFIDENCE SHOULD BE AFFORDED TO ME AND THE OVERRIDE SYSTEM SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN MY 2008 CAMRY LE. REQUEST YOUR ASSISTANCE. *TR
