POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2004 TOYOTA MATRIX WITH MILEAGE OF 52,811 AND A STANDARD TRANSMISSION. I HAD TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH. THE WARRANTY COVERS 60,000 MILES OR FIVE YEARS, SO I WAS UNDER THE MILEAGE BUT SIX MONTHS OVER THE YEARS. I UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH CLUTCH/TRANSMISSION WITH THE 2003-2006 MATRIXES. IT SEEMS VERY EARLY TO ME FOR THE CLUTCH TO HAVE FAILED AND IT COST $1,295 TO FIX. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2009 MATRIX CONSUMER HAS QUESTIONS REGARDING SUDDEN ACCELERATION RECALL.. *CW SO FAR THE CONSUMER HAS NOT EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, SHE WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT SHE WOULD RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING UNWANTED ACCELERATION. FROM WHAT SHE HAS READ, IT APPEARED THAT THE GAS PEDAL MAY NOT BE THE ONLY, OR EVEN THE PROBLEM FOR THE REPORTED UNWANTED ACCELERATION, BUT ALSO AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER WANTED TO KNOW CAN THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM BE CHECKED AND TESTED AND EVEN UPON REPLACEMENT, HOW CAN SHE BE REASSURED THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM IS PROPERLY WORKING? *JB
