Four problems related to equipment have been reported for the 2003 Toyota Matrix. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The glass sunroof on my vehicle shattered. The is no evidence of impact inside or outside. I had not used the car for about a week.
Last may 5 melody Toyota san bruno told me they have to do a recall on the front passenger airbag inflator. And it was fine for 3 months. Then on Aug. 9 when I was taking my cousin to the airport (sfo) the srs warning light just came on all the way straight home. And I drove back to melody Toyota last Tuesday since they told me they can't attend to me last Monday because technician shortage. After they made the diagnosis on my car they said there's a short circuit on my airbag spiral cable clock spring w/c is located inside the steering wheel. They said if this spiral cable is defective all the airbags in my car is disabled and will not deploy if I hit another car or a tree w/c is really life threatening. My question is why do I have to pay $550. 00 to get that spiral cable replaced. And on the other hand my car doesn't have any problem not until when they replace that front passenger airbag inflator last may 5. They even ask me if I had an accident recently. I think they should know that since they've been doing all the services on my car for 6 years. Or is there any recall on this spiral cable? I hope you give me an answer to this question. Also please this complaint will be annomymous for now. Thank you.
I went to the Toyota dealer to have my check engine light check and found out the I need to replace my catalyst converter and ecu replace. Dealer says that I need to pay $3000 plus tax. The reason why I need to replace the catalytic converter and the electronic control module because they have a new module. I own my car since 2003. This is Toyota's fault, I should be inform when a new module comes out in the market and I should not have to pay for that. This is a safety hazzard. If I don't get it fix, my car will not start and I am not able to renew my tab because of the check engine lights.
It's been almost a year since the first time the cil turned on. It stays on for a couple days then stays off for like a month. It has been doing that since 2012. I had my check engine light checked by a tech and he said that he has seen the p0770 code many times for the Matrix and corolla. . Read more...
