51 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/23/2013

I have my Toyota Matrix about 5 or 6 years. Had 4 or 5 times recall on the different parts. I don't feel safe any more with this car. How should I trust for another parts are ok. I have a kid with me when I'm driving. They should get the car back and pay for it. I worked so hard to pay for this car. Shame on Toyota.

52 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2013

Has been in for repair since Nov 2014 and no sign of getting fixed. Toyota will refuse to provide loaner car after Feb 23, 2015 but refused to give me a letter saying my car was safe to drive. Today I received a letter saying to keep passengers in the back seat - that tis their solution. They still try to deny that humidity is not a proven cause since incidents have occurred out of humid areas. I listened to the hearings and the Toyota representative said they don not know the cause but still they are forcing me to begin driving the car again at the end of Feb 2015.

55 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/05/2003

The 2003 Toyota Matrix I was driving hit the back of a pick-up truck when the brakes locked up and the vehicle began to skid. The Matrix went partially under the truck, causing severe damage to the front end of the Matrix. None of the airbags in the 2003 Toyota Matrix deployed. Thanks to the fact that I was wearing my seatbelt, I received only minor injuries.
