Consumer Description

BOUGHT 2009 TOYOTA MATRIX IN SEPT. 2009... HAVE EXPERIENCED BOTH GAS PEDAL ISSUES AND STEERING ISSUES. GAS PEDAL ISSUE HAS BEEN "FIXED". IN REGARDS TO THE STEERING ISSUE, I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVER 35MPH IT DOES PULL TO THE RIGHT AND FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS BEING PUSHED BY WIND, MY DAUGHTER & HUSBAND ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. I DID NOT REPORT THE STEERING ISSUE TO ANYONE BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS A DEFECT, THIS IS THE FIRST TOYOTA I HAVE OWNED AND THOUGHT IT WAS A TOYOTA THING. ALSO, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN NOV. 2009 IN THE TOYOTA MATRIX, I AM UNSURE OF WHETHER THE GAS PEDAL ISSUE MAY HAVE PLAYED A ROLE IN THAT INCIDENT. I DO NOT OWN THIS CAR NOW, I TRADED IT IN ON ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR
