Toyota Matrix 2009 Structure Body Bumpers Review #10241952

TOYOTA MATRIX 2009 car safety problem was reported on Aug 27, 2008.TOYOTA MATRIX 2009, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS . as a owner of a brand new 2009 toyota matrix, i was recently hit by a bicycle rider riding his bike in a opposite direction on a side walk. he hit my front bumper and the bumper was slightly damaged. the bike rider had minor injuries. the police issued the rider a citation for riding his bike in the wrong direction. i went to a local certified auto repair shop and got my front bumper repaired including a paint finish. the cost came out to be $500 for this very minor damage. why? it turned out to be so costly ? because nowadays all the bumpers--front & rear are being made out plastic by auto manufacturers to cut cost. if the bumpers were to be made from steel, i wouldn't have to pay for any damage cost for any minor impact. my question to you: what happened to your old regulation 10 m.p.h. impact to bumpers to be free of any damage? did you cave in to the big brothers --auto manufacturers, and yet, the american consumers are being shafted for high cost of repairing the car. why don't you force the auto manufacturers to make all bumpers out of steel? the fact is the steel mill have already developed the steel material which is very comparable to plastic to be lighter, stronger and can be formed into bumpers very easily. please investigate and force the auto manufacturers to comply 10 m.p.h impact regulation. thank you! *tr updated 09/24/08. *jb.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 2500 miles.

TOYOTA MATRIX 2009 car safety problem was reported on Oct 08, 2008.TOYOTA MATRIX 2009, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VISIBILITY . the 2009 toyota matrix has a safety issue in my opinion. i bought my matrix (new) from downeast toyota in brewer, maine, on october 6, 2008. while driving this car during a test drive in the proximity of the dealership about 60 days prior to my purchase, there came a time when i had do make a left-hand turn as directed by the dealers salesman who was with me. before i made the turn i noticed a young lady on the edge of the road to where i was turning. this brought on a caution in my mind to be extra careful in making the turn. as i proceeded the turn, the oversized (in my opinion) side view mirror on the driver's side that is situated too high (in my opinion) blocked about 80 % of my view. at one point it was directly in my line of vision. i let out a, "whoa, eric" (to the salesman)," i can't see a thing." he did not say a word. i liked the matrix otherwise, so about sixty days later, i bought it (i thought the "bad vision incident" was a fluke.) while returning home from my doctor's appointment two days later, i came upon a left-hand turn in downtown orono, maine. to my absolute disappointment, i could not see where i was turning when the oversized side mirror came in my line of vision. again, approximately 80 % of my vision was blocked! i returned the matrix to the downeast toyota dealership in brewer. i told several people at the dealership, in person, and by phone from home, that i could not drive the matrix because of a safety issue. i asked for my money back. they more or less agreed, together, that i now owned the vehicle and that they would not return my money except that i could trade the matrix in on another vehicle as a used car. now, i know you can't do anything for me on the fairness issue. i am here saying that there is a safety issue with the 2009 toyota matrix. i love toyotas. i've driven them for years. this matrix should be recalled. thank you. robert dubay *tr .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 39 miles.

TOYOTA MATRIX 2009 car safety problem was reported on June 20, 2009.TOYOTA MATRIX 2009, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW . i was traveling at eastbound at 25 mph and entered a controlled intersection in manitowoc, wisconsin. a motorcyclist traveling northbound approaching speeds of 60 mph ran a yield sign and t-boned my 2009 toyota matrix s 5 spd manual in the back passenger door and back quarter panel. the force of the impact spun my matrix 180 degrees so i ended up facing westbound at the curb. the passenger-side curtain airbag deployed. however, the driver's side curtain airbag failed to deploy and i ended up with a mild head injury and a sprain/possible dislocation of my left shoulder from where i struck the inside of the vehicle. my concern is why the driver's side airbag curtain failed to deploy when i was t-boned by a motorcycle at 60 mph turning my car 180 degrees to face the opposite direction i was traveling. in my opinion, based on the impact, my side curtain air bags should have deployed as the direction and force of the impact would obviously force my body in the same direction, north, into the side of my car; the same direction the motorcycle was headed. the failure of my driver's side curtain airbag deployment led to a head injury and a shoulder injury; possibly a dislocation of my shoulder. i am awaiting the radiologists review of the x-rays taken today at aurora health care center on reed avenue in manitowoc, wisconsin. toyota should take my concerns seriously and investigate the air bag systems in their 2009 matrix models. *tr.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 2 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 5000 miles.

TOYOTA MATRIX 2009 car safety problem was reported on Feb 03, 2010.TOYOTA MATRIX 2009, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . the first thing i noticed was that the accelerator pedal would not accelerate when i stepped on it going onto the on-ramp, about a month ago. on tuesday, i went to the dealer and they said they didn't have the parts yet, that they would call me, and that they didn't even know what to do with the parts when they got here. they said they had one of those courses two weeks ago, but what they learned there does not really apply to the problems that are coming on now. so even when they got the parts, they would have to figure out what to do with them. i tried to ask for a replacement or something of the sort, and they said that they didn't even have any cars to provide me because all the models on the lot were included in the recall. the next day (yesterday), i tried to stop at a stop sign and it diminished the speed but it did not stop completely. it didn't stop until the middle of the intersection and i got a ticket. *tr.Mileage was 22320 miles.

TOYOTA MATRIX 2009 car safety problem was reported on May 01, 2008.TOYOTA MATRIX 2009, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . i have a 2009 toyota matrix and it continues to have issues. toyota has never sent notification of recalls and this car has a few. when i bring it up to the dealer they act as if i have no idea what i am talking about. my tires need replacement at 20,000 miles and the brakes grind when stopping even after they were replaced at the dealers expense after they told me there was nothing wrong with them twice! i had to go back to the dealer 3 times as the parts people sent the wrong parts twice!! the tire warning light is constantly coming on even though i have had it to the dealership 3 times and they tell me nothing is wrong. i am told that the change in temperature makes the light come on. i am to the point i am going to replace the tires and be done with it. the last thing i need is a tire blow out on the interstate. the engine gets sluggish and bogs down while on the interstate and the interior features keep having to be slammed back into place because they come out of place. i was told by a salesman at a car show that it happens with the matrixs and they don't know why. each trip to the dealership i am treated as a woman who knows nothing about cars. my father is a mechanic and i know my way around a car. cobb county toyota in kennesaw, georgia is the worst dealership. i am going to try another dealership or just head to an independent. i saved for 2 years to buy it and now i feel very upset that toyota cares so little about the customer. i understand there are a few more recalls out on the 2009 matrix, yet i haven't been notified of them by toyota. when i brought up the new recalls to the dealer he looked shocked and tried to tell me that wasn't true. why are new toyota buyers getting free service when our cars are the problem. i'm going back to honda! toyota use to be great. the president of the company should be ashamed and commit seppuku or at least provide current owners free service too. *tr.Mileage was 20000 miles.

TOYOTA MATRIX 2009 car safety problem was reported on Aug 20, 2013.TOYOTA MATRIX 2009, manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . i was driving on a secondary highway going between 80 and 100 kph with the cruise control engaged. i was traveling along in top gear at an rpm of 2000-2500 - when i noticed that i was entering a construction zone where traffic was halted. i had just begun to travel up a hill toward the halted traffic. as the car started up the hill, i noticed that the rpms had dropped and caused the gears to shift down into a lower gear with higher rpm to pull the car up the hill. almost simultaneously of the car shifting gears, i pressed the brakes hard to begin stopping. i was alarmed as i felt the car struggling to accelerate hard against my braking. the braking had not disengaged the cruise control. i pressed the brakes harder. then, thinking the car might be confused, i took my foot off the brakes before pressing the brakes hard again. i still felt the car struggling to accelerate hard against the hard braking. i had the presence of mind the turn off the cruise control by pressing the button on the end of the cruise control stick. immediately, the unintended acceleration stopped and the braking was effective to stop the car. i have never again experienced this problem of cruise control not disengaging upon braking. i suspected that the sequence of braking beginning almost simultaneously to the gears shifting may have caused the confusion in the cruise control. that could make the issue a software problem in cruise control as opposed to a mechanical braking problem. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2T1KE40E89C.
