| 2004 | TIRES | I'M VERY HAPPY WITH MY MATRIX EXCEPT FOR ONE THING. THE HUB CAPS ARE SO LOSE. I'M CONSTANTLY PUSHING THEM BACK ON TIGHTER. I HAVEN'T HAD THE CAR MORE THAN A FEW MONTHS AND 3 HUBCAPS HAVE ALREADY FALLEN OFF, WITHINS DAYS OF ME MAKING SURE THEY WERE TIGHT ENOUGH. WHEN THEY FLY OFF MY CAR, ALL THE PIECES THAT HOLD THEM ONTO THE RIM ARE BROKEN OFF AND THEY ARE USELESS. I HAVE LOST 3 HUBCAPS IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS!*AK |
| 2003 | POWER TRAIN | MY SON WAS SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD POPPING METAL SOUND; HE TOOK THE CAR OUT OF GEAR, COASTED OUT OF HARMS WAY AND THEN GOT THE CAR TOWED. MY SON SAID THAT IT WAS DANGEROUS AND UNEXPECTED. WE HAD JUST HAD OUR MECHANIC CHANGE THE OIL AND TEST DRIVE THE CAR LAST WEEK AFTER PUTTING ON NEW TIRES. THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS IS THE 2ND TRANSMISSION THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED AS DEFECTIVE ON THIS CAR. AM A SINGLE MOM WITH MULTIPLE JOBS AND CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR A BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY'S' MISTAKES..(WHEN PROVIDING A SERVICE OR PRODUCT TO THE PUBLIC THAT COSTS MONEY, IF I MAKE A MISTAKE I ADMIT IT, CORRECT IT, AM SORRY AND MAKE IT RIGHT AT MY EXPENSE). *TR |
