One problem related to gas tank strap has been reported for the 2005 Toyota Matrix. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I pulled into my parking lot at work and all of a sudden I heard this "load" noise coming from underneath my car. I had my car towed to my dealer and found out that one of the straps holding up my gas tank had broke, according to the dealer. My concern was if I was driving on our thruway and the gas tank fell off! I believe an accident of some sort would of occurred. Thank you!.
