Consumer Description

THE THROWOUT BARING IN MY 2003 TOYOTA MATRIX XR 5-SPEED TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT APPROXIMATELY 23,000 MILES AND CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. TOYOTA REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AT THE LOVE LEXUS TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN ST. ALBANS, WV, WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW WITH ZERO MILES. THIS SECOND TRANSMISSION, AT APPROXIMATELY 64,000 MILES, FAILED AS WELL WITH THE SAME PRESCRIBED ISSUE (THROWOUT BARING IN THE TRANSMISSION). AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE (HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F0D9B0E/497#MSG497) THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED IN A PLETHORA OF TOYOTA MATRIX' 5 - SPEED TRANSMISSIONS THAT TOYOTA HAD PLACED IN THE 2003 - 2005 TOYOTA MATRIX'. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP RECALL THESE TRANSMISSIONS AND HOLD TOYOTA ACCOUNTABLE FOR PLACING FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE VEHICLES BEFORE ANOTHER ONE GOES OUT AND I HAVE TO FORK OVER ANOTHER $3200 + FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE RECEIPTS TO PROVE ALL OF THESE CLAIMS AND WILL BE GLAD TO SHARE ANY INFORMATION I NEED TO IN ORDER TO HELP A RECALL COME TO LIGHT. *TR
