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. CONSEQUENCES: 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 MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED A NOTIFICATION SCHED 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. CONSEQUENCES: 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.

EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTING ON BRAND NEW YARIS RANDOMLY MALFUNCTION WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM BUT TOYOTA CAN'T FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM SO NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. *TR
ALL EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS TURN OFF ON THEIR OWN. THEY HAVE DONE THIS TWICE. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR THAT MY 18 YEAR OLD SON BOUGHT. HE DRIVES TO COLLEGE AND WORK AND CANNOT BE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT HAS LIGHTS THAT DO NOT WORK IN THE DARK. THE DEALERSHIP HAS LOOKED AT THE CAR BUT CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM SO THEY ARE ASKING US TO COME BACK AND PICK IT UP. I REFUSE TO LET ANYONE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. MY SON PULLED OVER IN EACH INSTANCE AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND PLAYED WITH THE LIGHT SWITCH OFF AND ON AND THE LIGHTS DID COME BACK ON. I SEEMS TO HAPPEN SPORADICALLY. *TR
