Four problems related to equipment have been reported for the 2007 Toyota Matrix. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The problem is not specific to this car. The tire speed rating system in use today is long overdue for upgrading. Problem 1 is the confusion that exists between y and (y). Online tire dealers often blur the two categories. Problem 2 is the actual speed rating of (y) -- it is unknown but higher than 186. Problem 3 is that tires in the upper ranges are not separated. If you buy tires for a 2004 Ford gt, they must be good for up to 215 mph, but 270 mph is not necessary. There are many tires that are good for 215 but not 270 mph. The current system does not tell consumers which tire is safe! I propose a new metric-based system. The following speed ratings would assigned to each tire: speed rating 15 (150 km/h) 20 (200 km/h) 25 (250 km/h) 30 (300 km/h) 35 (350 km/h) 40 (400 km/h) 45 (450 km/h) 50 (500 km/h).
I bought brand new toyoto 2007 Matrix in 2007 in USA. Why until now it not give me recall problem fix??? in 2019, Toyota know my phone number and my car 3 months it called me wait for recall for 2 month more. But now it not give me recall successfully.
On the morning of 12/16/2016, while in the parking garage where my wife works, she stopped to back into a parking spot and the car suddenly accelerated forward and would not respond to vigorous braking nor the emergency brake. The car hit a concrete wall, the air bag deployed, and she was injured (numerous fractures to date). We have seen the words �brake override� and �sudden unintended acceleration� in cases against Toyota. There were no floor mats in the car. We bought this car in the first week of oct 2016, so it was only approx 75 days in our possession. The dealership could never get us in contact with the previous owner (about unrelated questions) and never mentioned any possible issue with the car. They gave me a carfax, but there was no mention of the sua issue. We feel Toyota or someone should be responsible for this happening. Not only is there physical damage to the person, but also mental damage about driving any car. We believe the electronics are to blame for this happening. What are our options? we cannot find anyone to take the case. Please advise, thanks.
Exterior door handles all broke off making it difficult to enter car, which makes it difficult to open door to enter car or open door to remove children.
