TOYOTA MATRIX 2005 car safety problem was reported on May 05, 2009.TOYOTA MATRIX 2005, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STRUCTURE . failure of retention system for front right inner fender/shield. there is only one retention point at front (on bumper). when fails, shield/inner fender behind front bumper drags on ground. hole for retention pin has only about 1/4 inch of material to rear of hole - the plastic splits. did not split in response to hitting anything - car was sitting in driveway when failed. when took to dealer (still under warranty), offered choice of cable tie repair (free) or replacement of entire inner fender assembly ($211). chose cable tie, although dealer also left rope repair i had installed to hold until getting to dealer. dealer indicated rope should stay - hardly a real repair. left side failed previously - had to personally replace retention pieces. dealer service rep indicated that they see a number of matrix xr and xrs models with same problem, due to ground effects installed on those models. seems to strongly imply a design defect. *tr.Mileage was 25200 miles.

Toyota Matrix 2005 Air Bags Review #10282480

TOYOTA MATRIX 2005 car safety problem was reported on Apr 10, 2009.TOYOTA MATRIX 2005, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with AIR BAGS . the airbag warning light started come on my 2005 toyota matrix about 2 years ago, and the warning light usually went off if i re-started the engine. i brought the car to the toyota dealer to check the airbag system on 2007, but they could not find any problems. my car already had over 36,000 miles on that time, thus the warranty was expired. the warning light still came on and off occasionally thereafter. in march 2008, i had an accident when i lost the control of the car during the snowstorm, and i hit the fire hydrant at a speed of 35 miles (my car had 42000 miles on) the car sustained a severe frontal damage, but the airbag did not deployed at the time of the incident. it cost my insurance over $9000 for the repairs. i immediately suspected that there must been a complete airbag system failure on my car since the warning light has been come on/off , so i contacted toyota customer service if they can fix the faulty airbag system under the power train warranty. i heard "no" and told that i had to pay from my own pocket if there was a problem. the light somehow disappeared somehow since then, so i did not bother to bring the car to the dealer. however, i had another accident in april 2009 when i hit the deer on the garden state parkway in nj. the car sustained another frontal damage, and car was non-drivable. once again, the airbag did not deployed at all although i was driving around 55 miles. it cost my insurance over $4000 to repair. my airbag warning lights started to come up again recently, and it goes away if i re-started the engine again. i checked many car sites on the internet, and in my surprise, i read so many people have exact same problems on their vehicles (05 matrix). i strongly believe that there is an issue with toyota's airbag system, and i'm not feel safe to drive this car anymore. someone really need to investigate on toyota vehicles and issue a national recall on their vehicles before someone gets hurt. *tr.Mileage was 47200 miles.

TOYOTA MATRIX 2005 car safety problem was reported on Jan 03, 2012.TOYOTA MATRIX 2005, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with AIR BAGS . airbag warning light sometimes comes on and stays on. if i stop the car and remove the cap from the gasoline tank for a minute, the replace the cap and restart the car, the airbag light goes off. airbag light may remain off for many days. airbag light has been intermittent in this fashion for past 10,000 miles. no one seems to know why gas tank pressure should affect airbag warning light sensor system, but it appears to do precisely that. airbag has never been deployed no vehicle accident has occurred. however the numerous internet complaints about the airbag light coming on in the 2005 toyota matrix at about 80,000 miles suggests a design defect on the part of toyota. local marin toyota dealership (in san rafael, calif.) advises that if there is a collision when the airbag light is on, the airbag will not deploy. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 80000 miles.

TOYOTA MATRIX 2005 car safety problem was reported on May 01, 2014.TOYOTA MATRIX 2005, manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation had a problem with AIR BAGS . my vehicle is a 2005 toyota matrix xr. it has never been involved in a collision or impact in any way. at approx. 37000 miles, the srs warning light activate and was diagnosed as a faulty spiral cable/clockspring. the spiral cable was replaced which did eliminate the srs warning light. i now have 60500 miles on this vehicle and again the srs light has activated, and has again been diagnosed with a faulty spiral cable, the repair cost has now been estimated by my local toyota dealer as $440.71, and they have confirmed that the srs system will not function until the repair is made. i now have my 2 sons, new drivers, that use this car. i fear that even if i get this problem fixed, again, that it will again fail at some point while in use and put them at risk. i have owned many vehicles that have had srs systems, but this is the only time i've ever had a problem, let alone a repeat problem, with a specific component. in my research, it sounds like many other toyota matrix and other toyota models in the same years of production are experiencing spiral cable/clockspring problems. this problem can effect the survivability of the occupants and truly concerns me. thanks so much for considering my concerns. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 37000 miles.
