Consumer Description

2003 TOYOTA MATRIX XRS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, SLIPPING GEARS OR CLUTCH WHILE UNDER LOAD, RECURRING PROBLEM FOR THE DURATION OF OWNING THE CAR. IT IS VERY UNSAFE ON THE HIGHWAY AS IT DOES NOT GET UP TO OR MAINTAIN SPEEDS. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA WITH NO RESPONSE. TOYOTA SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH IT WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO GET LOOKED AT, BUT IT WAS SLIPPING THE WHOLE DRIVE HOME AND SINCE THEN. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFINITE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT BELIEVES THIS, HOW MANY PEOPLE MUST COMPLAIN OR DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FOR THEM TO TAKE SOME ACTION? *TR
