Consumer Description

BOUGHT 2009 TOYOTA MATRIX S NEW. I COMMUTE APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK ON FREEWAY, NORMALLY WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON. I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL OCCASIONS OF ACCELERATION "SURGE"(RELATIVELY MINOR INCREASES IN ACCELERATION WITHOUT TOUCHING ACCELERATOR). MY WIFE ALSO EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WHILE TAKING OUR SON TO SCHOOL UNDER NORMAL STREET SPEED. I WOULD ALSO EXPERIENCE SEVERAL SITUATIONS OF DIFFICULT VEHICLE CONTROL ON FREEWAY DUE TO STEERING ISSUES. I THOUGHT AT THE TIME IT WAS JUST WIND PUSHING AGAINST THE CAR UNTIL I READ OTHER DRIVERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. *TR
