Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA MATRIX AND THE VEHICLE STARTED JERKING WHEN IT SHIFTED OUT OF 1ST GEAR. IT JERKED SO HARD THAT I HAD TO BE CAREFUL TO NOT LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WHEN I WOULD BE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE SHIFTING ISSUE OCCURRED EVERY TIME I DROVE IT AFTER THE PROBLEM STARTED. THE STALLING ISSUE OCCURRED AROUND 5-6 TIMES WHEN I WAS DRIVING. I RECENTLY TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE ECM FOR A COST OF OVER $700 SINCE I WAS OUT OF FACTORY WARRANTY. SO FAR, THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED HOWEVER, I NOTICED A SERVICE BULLETIN IN 2007 WHICH I BELIEVE TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE INFORMED CUSTOMER'S. THIS WAS VERY SCARY WHEN IT OCCURRED AND LUCKILY I DIDN'T END UP IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR
