2009 TOYOTA MATRIX Unknown Or Other Problems

MY PASSENGER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING ( MY WINDOW IS HALF WAY OPEN) WHILE DRIVING IN 108 DEGREES WEATHER ( I LIVE IN YUMA AZ... THE HOTTEST CITY IN THE UNITED STATES). THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO TOYOTA DEALER IN YUMA AZ AND THEY TOLD ME TO COME BACK THE NEXT DAY BECAUSE THEY DIDNT HAVE A TECHNICIAN AVAILABLE, IT WAS AROUND 3:00 PM. THE NEXT DAY I STOPPED BY RIGHT AFTER WORK 3:00PM (WEATHER 108 DEGREES). EVERYTHING IS GOING FINE, I DROPPED OFF THE VEHICLE AND THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TELLS ME THAT HE DOESNT KNOW HOW LONG ITS GOING TO TAKE. 3:45PM HE CALLED AND ADVISED MY CAR WILL BE READY BEFORE 5:30PM, I WAS HAPPY. AT 4:00PM HE CALLED AGAIN AND TELLS ME THEY DONT HAVE THE PART TO FIX MY CAR, I WAS MAD. AT 5:00PM I WENT BACK TO TOYOTA DEALER TO PICK UP MY CAR...

ON APRIL L9, 2008 WITH 2788 MILES ON MY NEW CAR THE FRONT TIRE WENT SOFT AND WHEN TAKEN TO DUNN TIRE THEY TOLD ME THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE. I WAS NATURALLY UPSET WITH SO FEW MILES BUT PUT A NEW ONE ON WHICH COST ME $L61. A FEW WEEKS AGO, MY CAR WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND THE MECHANIC AT MONRO MUFFLER TOLD ME I HAD A "BAD TIRE" AND WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT TIRES ($408) I COULD NOT AFFORD IT AND CALLED GOODYEAR WHO TOLD ME THEY WOULD CHECK IT OUT AND PERHAPS REPLACE THE TIRES. AFTER TWO WEEKS I CALLED AGAIN AS NOTHING WAS DONE AND I FEEL I AM DRIVING ON UNSAFE TIRES AS NOW IT PULLS TO THE LEFT. MY CONTENTION IS THAT DEFECTIVE GOODYEAR TIRES WERE ON MY CAR WHEN PURCHASED. THEY ARE EAGLERS-A SPORT TIRES. I DO NOT KNOW IF...

I HAVE A 2009 TOYOTA MATRIX AND IT CONTINUES TO HAVE ISSUES. TOYOTA HAS NEVER SENT NOTIFICATION OF RECALLS AND THIS CAR HAS A FEW. WHEN I BRING IT UP TO THE DEALER THEY ACT AS IF I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. MY TIRES NEED REPLACEMENT AT 20,000 MILES AND THE BRAKES GRIND WHEN STOPPING EVEN AFTER THEY WERE REPLACED AT THE DEALERS EXPENSE AFTER THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM TWICE! I HAD TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AS THE PARTS PEOPLE SENT THE WRONG PARTS TWICE!! THE TIRE WARNING LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY COMING ON EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. I AM TOLD THAT THE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE MAKES THE LIGHT COME ON. I AM TO THE POINT I AM GOING TO REPLACE THE TIRES AND...

I HAVE A 2009 TOYOTA MATRIX THAT HAS MULTIPLE ISSUES INCLUDING A STEERING ISSUE THAT ALMOST CAUSED MY FAMILY THEIR LIFE, NOW I AM BEING TOLD I NEED NEW BRAKES AT 19,800 MILES. THE REAR BRAKES ARE NOT ADJUSTING AT ALL WHICH MAY BE CAUSING THE STEERING ISSUES. CAR IS HAVING INTERMENT ISSUES GOING INTO 1ST AND REVERSE, REPORTED MULTIPLE TIMES, TOYOTA SAYS THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE. CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. ALSO, ONE TIRE IS WEARING ON ONE SIDE WHICH IS A KNOWN ISSUE. THE STEERING ISSUES HAS BEEN REPORTED ALONG WITH THE ONE TIRE WEARING ISSUE BY OVER 500 PEOPLE BUT TOYOTA WILL NOT RECOGNIZE IT. I AM SCARED TO TAKE MY CAR ON THE INTERSTATE DUE TO THE STEERING ISSUE AND THIS IS A NEW CAR WITH LOW MILES. MY FAMILY IS AT RISK OF BREAK FAILURE, OR WORSE DUE TO THE DEFECTS. WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA,M THEY...

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE ON INTERSTATE 495 OF THE WASHINGTON BELTWAY SITTING IN A 3 MILE BACKUP WHERE 5 LANES WERE MERGING INTO ONE. MY FOOT WAS FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE LEAVING PLENTY OF ROOM FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. ALL OF A SUDDEN I REALIZED THAT THE CAR WAS INCHING FORWARD AND THE BRAKE WOULD NOT STOP THE ACCELERATION. MY HUSBAND REALIZED WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND LOOKED DOWN AND KNEW THAT MY FOOT WAS FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE. ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT JUST STOPPED AS FAST AS IT STARTED. WE CAME WITHIN INCHES OF HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. AS I SAT IN THAT MESS OF A TRAFFIC JAM AND SAW THE AMOUNT OF CELL PHONES BEING USED, IT HIT ME. DID ALL THESE PHONES START THAT CAR TO MOVE? THIS MATRIX 2009 ONLY HAS 22,700 MILES ON IT BUT I WILL BE...

I WAS SOLD A DEFECTIVE 2009 TOYOTA MATRIX. MY SON WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. HIS LANE WAS ENDING AND THERE WASN'T AN OPENING FOR HIM TO MERGE. HE WASN'T ABLE TO STOP THE CAR AND ENDED UP RUNNING INTO A TELEPHONE POLE WHICH FELL ON THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS TOTALED. HE SAID THAT HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE COULDN'T STOP AND COULDN'T EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. THE POLICE OFFICER WAS UPSET AT MY SON BECAUSE HE SAID THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A REASON HE CRASHED INTO THE POLE AND SINCE NO ONE COULD FIGURE IT OUT THE POLICE OFFICERS ONLY CONCLUSION WAS TO ASSUME THAT MY SON WAS SLEEPY. IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER STATING THAT OUR 2009 MATRIX IS BEING RECALLED FOR THE DEFECTIVE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THAT I SHOULD BRING IT IN TO BE REPAIRED. I...

2009 MATRIX CONSUMER HAS QUESTIONS REGARDING SUDDEN ACCELERATION RECALL.. *CW SO FAR THE CONSUMER HAS NOT EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, SHE WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT SHE WOULD RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING UNWANTED ACCELERATION. FROM WHAT SHE HAS READ, IT APPEARED THAT THE GAS PEDAL MAY NOT BE THE ONLY, OR EVEN THE PROBLEM FOR THE REPORTED UNWANTED ACCELERATION, BUT ALSO AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER WANTED TO KNOW CAN THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM BE CHECKED AND TESTED AND EVEN UPON REPLACEMENT, HOW CAN SHE BE REASSURED THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM IS PROPERLY WORKING? *JB
