AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OUR DRIVER SIDE SRS AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY ON FOR OVER A YEAR. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T GO OUT WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED AND STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING; OTHER TIMES IT GOES OUT LIKE NORMAL A FEW SECONDS AFTER THE CAR IS STARTED, BUT SPONTANEOUSLY COMES ON AND STAYS ON LATER WHILE DRIVING. ONCE IT'S ON, I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE IGNITION OFF, WAIT A FEW SECONDS, AND THEN RESTART THE CAR TO GET IT TO TURN OFF. THIS IS NOT ALWAYS SUCCESSFUL. THE TOYOTA DEALER WAS NO HELP AT ALL - COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, AND SAID THAT I'D NEED TO BRING THE CAR BACK WHEN THE LIGHT WAS ACTUALLY ON. SINCE THE PROBLEM IS INCONSISTENT, I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT. I'M VERY AFRAID THAT SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY MAY BE INJURED SHOULD WE GET IN A COLLISION, BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THAT IF THE LIGHT IS ON, THE AIRBAG IS INOPERABLE. *TR

AIR BAGS
PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THREE BLOCKS FROM OUR HOME ON A NEIGHBORHOOD GOING 20 TO 25 MPH. WE TOOK TO OUR TOYOTA DEALER ( [XXX] ) IN OKLAHOMA CITY. HE SAID WE HAD TO FILE A CLAIM WITH TOYOTA AND GAVE US A NUMBER. WE FOUND OUT LATER THAT DAY THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG SYSTEM AND WE HAD NOT RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL. HE DID NOT INFORM US THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH TOYOTA'S WEBSITE SHOWED THE CAR WAS PART OF THE RECALL. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALER, [XXX] OF OKLAHOMA CITY. THEY DID KNOWLEDGE THE VEHICLE WAS INDEED PART OF THE RECALL. BOB HOWARD TOYOTA STILL HAS THE CAR AND WE HAVE A CASE NUMBER [XXX] WITH TOYOTA AND [XXX]IS WAITING OF THEIR CALL TO START WORK ON THE VEHICLE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
IT'S BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE THE FIRST TIME THE CIL TURNED ON. IT STAYS ON FOR A COUPLE DAYS THEN STAYS OFF FOR LIKE A MONTH. IT HAS BEEN DOING THAT SINCE 2012. I HAD MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CHECKED BY A TECH AND HE SAID THAT HE HAS SEEN THE P0770 CODE MANY TIMES FOR THE MATRIX AND COROLLA. HE PRINTED OUT THE TSB (HTTP://WWW.MATRIXOWNERS.COM/TSB/T-EG020-02.PDF) AND ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO A TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER. I TOOK IT TO CARSON TOYOTA IN CA AND THEY PRETTY MUCH SAID THE ONLY THING I CAN DO IS FIX THE ISSUE OUT OF MY POCKET WHICH WAS ALMOST $1500! HE SAID THE ISSUE IS THE R & R ENGINE CONTROL MODULE AND IF THAT DOESN'T DO THE TRICK THAT I HAVE TO REPLACE R & R SPEED SENSOR. I PURCHASED MY CAR USED SO IT DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR THE MANUFACTURES WARRANTY. I PERSONALLY THINK THAT THIS SHOULD QUALIFY AS A RECALL. THERE IS SO MANY REPORT ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND SO MANY OTHER TOYOTA CUSTOMERS THAT ARE VERY UNHAPPY. ALLOT OF THE CONSUMERS ARE SAYING THEY HAVE BOUGHT THESE PARTS AND INSTALLED THEM AND THE CIL IS STILL LIGHTING UP. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I REFUSE TO PAY $1500 TO REPLACE THE ECM AND THE SPEED SENSOR FOR IT TO NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NOW I HAVE TO HAVE MY CAR REGISTERED WITH THE REQUIREMENT OF A SMOG CHECK. AND OF COURSE THAT IS AN AUTOMATIC FAIL. THIS IS MY SECOND TOYOTA AND I DON'T THINK THERE WILL BE A THIRD. VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER! *TR

AIR BAGS
SAFETY RECALL NOTICE (TO FIX SRS AND ECM) WAS RECEIVED FROM TOYOTA IN THE SECOND WEEK OF FEBRUARY, 2013. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER (LEE'S TOYOTA, 139-65, QUEENS BLVD, JAMAICA, NY, 11435) ON 04/03/2013, TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. SINCE THE CORRECT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AT THE SERVICING CENTER, THE REPRESENTATIVE HAS INFORMED ME THAT, THEY WILL PLACE AN ORDER FOR THE PARTS AND WILL INFORM ME ONCE THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE SERVICE CENTER (PER THE SERVICE CENTER THE WAIT PERIOD FOR THE PARTS IS ABOUT COUPLE WEEKS). TODAY, 04-30-2013, I CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER TO CHECK THE STATUS OF THE PARTS. THE SERVICE CENTER HAS INFORMED THAT, THEY DID NOT RECEIVE THE PARTS AND NOT SURE AND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE THEM AS TOYOTA IS TAKING TOO MUCH TIME TO PRODUCE THEM. I REQUEST THAT THIS MATTER MAY PLEASE BE EXAMINED AND SEE HOW SOON THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE (I HAVE A FEAR THAT MY CAR MAY DEVELOP NEW OR OTHER RELATED PROBLEMS AS I AM USING IT WITH ECM AND SRS PROBLEMS AND WITH THE AIR BAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT IS ON THE DASH BOARD).

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE A DRIVER T-BONED MY VEHICLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE,THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR TOOK THE WORST DAMAGE ALONG WITH THE ROOF MOLDING,FENDER AND QUARTER PANEL,STATE FARM DECLARED THE CAR A TOTAL. I CALLED TOYOTA AND OPEN A CASE BECAUSE THE AIR BAG SENSOR NUMBER 3 IN THE OWNERS MANUAL IN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR DID NOT DEPLOY,I SENT TOYOTA 12 PICTURES WITH THE DAMAGE AND THE DOOR WAS THE WORSE,THE REP ASSIGNED TO MY CASE WAS IN COMPLETE DENIAL AND SAID THAT SENSOR WOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED THE AIRBAG EVEN IF I WERE KILLED! HE JUST WASHED HIS HANDS WITH MY CASE AND RAN ME AROUND ABOUT THE DOOR SENSOR AND WHY IS IT THERE IF IT DOESN'T WORK IS MY QUESTION. SHOULD I SEEK LEGAL COUNCIL OR JUST LET TOYOTA OFF THE HOOK? DON'T THINK ITS FAIR TO US CONSUMERS. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
RECENTLY MY AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. AFTER SEARCHING TOYOTA/MATRIX FORUMS, I HAVE FOUND THE 2003-2008 TOYOTA MATRIX HAS HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. IT IS COMMON FOR THE CLOCK TO STOP WORKING, WHICH CASES THE AIR BAGS TO STOP FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THIS ALSO SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2003-2008 COROLLA. I DON'T MIND THAT MY CLOCK DOESN'T WORK; HOWEVER, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF IT IS THE CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG MALFUNCTION AND TOYOTA SHOULD RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. *TR

SUSPENSION
THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW. AT 50,000 MILES I'VE GONE THROUGH TWO SETS OF TIRES AND ABOUT REPLACE MY THIRD SET. THERE ARE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM MANY OTHERS ON SEVERAL FORUMS LIKE: HTTP://WWW.FAQS.ORG/CAR/TOYOTA-MATRIX-2006/SUSPENSION/ AND HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F0EEECE/145 THAT SUGGEST THERE IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT IN THE SUSPENSION THAT IS THE CAUSE OF THIS SYMPTOM. I WILL BE DISCUSSING THIS WITH MY LOCAL DEALER AND POSSIBLY A LAWYER SHOULD IT COME TO THAT. I DID, HOWEVER, WANT TO WRITE A REPORT IN THE MEAN TIME DOCUMENTING THE SITUATION FOR THE RECORD. *JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON MAY 30,2012 WHILE DRIVING MY 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH 27,000 MILES , WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS, DOWN ROUTE ONE IN PEABODY, MASSACHUSETTS IN HEAVY FAST LANE TRAFFIC THE AUTO, FOR NO REASON SLOWED TO ALMOST A STOP AND COULD NOT BE ACCELERATED. WITH THE HAZARD LIGHTS ON IT WAS DIFFICULT TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AS NO ONE SEEMED TO RECOGNIZE THE MEANING OF HAZARD LIGHTS.I LET THE CAR REST AND WHEN I STARTED IT EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE AND I DROVE TO REVERE WITHOUT A PROBLEM. I PARKED THE CAR IN THE NORTHGATE SHOPPING MALL AND WHEN I RETURNED A FEW HOURS LATER THE AUTO WAS TOTALLY DEAD AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO WINTHROP. THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE DEAD BATTERY THAT THEY REPLACED AT A COST OF $129.00. THEY TOLD US TO DRIVE LOCALLY FOR A WHILE. SO FAR THE PROBLEM HAS NOT RECURRED. WHAT STARTED OUT A $20,000.00 PURCHASE FOR SAFETY AND RELIABILITY HAS BECOME SOMETHING ELSE. WE WOULD LIKE AN EXPLANATION ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WE UNDERSTAND THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. WE ARE NOW IN A SITUATION OF TRADING THE 2009 COROLLA ,(SOMETHING WE CANNOT AFFORD) OR SELLING IT TO SOME UNSUSPECTING PERSON, SOMETHING WE DO NOT CARE TO DO. EVEN IF IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN THE SEEDS OF FEAR HAVE BEEN PLANTED. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I WAS RETURNING HOME LAST WEEK ON I-40 IN TN. I WAS GOING UP A GRADE WITH VEHICLES ALL AROUND ME WHEN MY TRANSMISSION BLEW. I INSTANTLY LOST POWER AND WENT FROM 70 TO 50 IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE. LUCKILY I WASN'T HIT AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD. AFTER TOWING THE CAR HOME I WAS DISAPPOINTED TO HEAR OF MANY SIMILAR ACCOUNTS FROM OTHER MATRIX OWNERS. APPARENTLY THERE ARE FAULTY BEARINGS TO BLAME FOR COUNTLESS TRANSMISSION FAILURES ON CARS WITH ALARMINGLY LOW MILEAGE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT TOYOTA SHOULD RECONCILE WITH ITS CUSTOMERS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, FIX BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. *JS

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WITH THE LAST INCIDENT BEING 2 DAYS AGO, I FINALLY HAD A CHANCE TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE SHOP TODAY. THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD ABOUT 5 INCIDENTS OVER THE LAST 4 YEARS OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHEN MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. ONE TIME RECENTLY IT HAPPENED ON A FLAT ROAD AS I WAS APPROACHING A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO TURN INTO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, CUTTING SOME ONE OFF BUT NO COLLISION TOOK PLACE. TWO DAYS AGO IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED ON A HILL FACING DOWN THE HILL. WHEN I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE IT DID NOT BRAKE THE CAR, INSTEAD I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE REV UP AND PULL FORWARD. THIS IS HOW IT HAPPENED ALSO ON THE PREVIOUS 3 TIMES. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW. I AM SINGLE AND DISABLED AND JUST FINISHED PAYING OFF THIS CAR. I DON'T WANT TO SELL THE CAR AND HAVE SOMEONE DIE BECAUSE I SOLD IT TO THEM. I CERTAINLY DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO JUST GO OUT AND BUY A NEW CAR BUT I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR NOW. PLEASE ADVISE ME AS TO WHAT COURSE I SHOULD TAKE. THANK YOU. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON FEBRUARY 23, 2012, I LOST ACCELERATION WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. NO OTHER PROBLEMS WERE ENCOUNTERED AT THAT TIME. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS AS FOLLOWS: "CONNECTED SCAN TOOL AND FOUND CODE P0121 THROTTLE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR SWITCH A CIRCUIT RANGE PERFORMANCE, PERFORMED INSPECTION AND FOUND INTERNAL MALFUNCTION IN THROTTLE BODY SENSOR, REPLACED THROTTLE BODY, RETESTED WORKING NORMAL AT THIS TIME" I AM IN POSSESSION OF THE DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. ON FEBRUARY 24, 2012, I CALLED TOYOTA AND REPORTED MY INCIDENT. THEY PROVIDED ME WITH THE CASE NUMBER 1202242199. ACCORDING TO TOYOTA, THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF THIS ISSUE IN THE PAST, BUT TO ME IT IS UNREASONABLE THAT THE THROTTLE BODY SHOULD FAIL SO SOON. WHILE MY CAR IS NEARLY 4 YEARS OLD WITH JUST OVER 74,000 MILES, MOST OF THOSE MILES ARE FROM DRIVING CONSTANT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BECAUSE I HAVE A 60 MILE ROUND TRIP COMMUTE TO WORK. ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2011, THE THROTTLE BODY WAS SERVICED TO REMOVE CARBON BUILD UP. *TR

STEERING
I WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE WHEN VEHICLE DRIFTED FROM RIGHT LANE TO LEFT LANE, UNABLE TO CONTROL - THIS DISCONTINUED, APPX 4 - 5 MILES LATER THE VEHICLE DRIFTED FROM RIGHT LANE TO LEFT LANE & HIT SHOULDER. WHEN BRAKE VEHICLE WENT INTO SPIN & ENDED UP CROSSING LEFT & RIGHT LANES, ENDING ON INTERSTATE ROADSIDE @ TREE LINE. DAMAGE TO FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE - I AM SORE ON LEFT SIDE (SHOULDER, LOWER BACK & LEFT KNEE - ALSO HAVE PAIN ACROSS STOMACH I GUESS FROM SEATBELT ENGAGING. THIS WAS TERRIFYING, AND I AM ALSO AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AGAIN. ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON THURSDAY AM, FIRST CHANCE TO RESEARCH FRIDAY NIGHT, I WAS APPALLED TO LEARN THAT WHILE TOYOTA WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE NEVER RECEIVED FIRST COMMUNICATION REGARDING POSSIBLE DANGER. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED HAD THERE BEEN TRAFFIC AROUND ME ON THE INTERSTATE, AS WAS THE CASE WHEN THE 1ST DRIFING HAPPENED. *TR

TIRES
WE PURCHASED THIS CAR IN MARCH 2007 AND CHANGED THE TIRES IN 2009 AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES. AND NOW WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE TIRES AGAIN IN 2011 AT ABOUT 55,000 MILES DUE TO ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR. IT IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT THE TIRES (AT WARRANTY OF 80,000 MILES) HAVE TO BE CHANGED AT LESS THAN 30,000 MILES. THIS MAY BE DUE TO PROBLEMATIC CONFIGURATION OR BUILD OF THE CAR. *TR
