VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AND TRAVELING IN THE RIGHT LANE ON AN INTERSTATE, I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN FROM 65 TO 55 AS I APPROACHED A TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. THIS WAS DONE TO ALLOW A CAR IN THE PASSING LANE TO PASS ME. WHEN THAT CAR HAD PASSED, I RELEASED THE BREAK TO PASS THE TRUCK AHEAD OF ME AFTER HAVING HAD THE BREAK APPLIED FOR 5 OR 6 SECONDS (FAR LONGER THAN NECESSARY FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL TO HAVE SHUT OFF.). WHEN I RELEASED THE BREAK, THE CRUISE CONTROL RE-INITIATED ITSELF AND THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO 65 MPH WITHOUT MY TOUCHING ANY FURTHER PEDALS. MY FEET WERE ON THE FLOOR AND THERE WERE NO FLOOR MATS NEAR THE PEDALS. THE CRUISE CONTROL ALONE WAS ACCELERATING THE CAR. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
OUR SON'S 2003 TOYOTA MATRIX HAD IT'S TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAIL 2 NIGHTS AGO. HE HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ( 100,000 MILES). UNBELIEVABLY HE WAS 1600 MILES OVER HIS WARRANTY. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND DOZENS AND DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT 2003 AND 2004 MATRIX TRANSMISSIONS. OUR SON IS A RATHER POOR COLLEGE GRADUATE WHO CAN'T AFFORD THE $3300 IT WILL TAKE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH. I WOULD LIKE SOME ADVISE ON HOW TO PURSUE SOME ACTION AGAINST TOYOTA. THERE SHOULD BE A WAY TO PURSUE "CONSIDERATION" FOR THIS TYPE OF SITUATION SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE! PLEASE RESPOND IF YOU CAN... *TR
