2005 TOYOTA COROLLA MATRIX

O2 (oxygen) sensor is faulty even after replacing it several times.

These 3 things may be related to each other because they all are connected to the steering wheel. My car can be scheduled for an inspection regarding these safety problems. 1. The Airbag warning light is sometimes on when I drive the car. I'm worried it won't work if I'm in a wreck. 2. The horn doesn't work when I press on the part of the steering wheel that should make it work. It does make a loud sound when I press the panic button on my key fob, but only when the car is turned off. I had to stick my head out of the window and yell at a driver who was getting close to hitting my car in a parking lot. I was parked, and they were backing out of their parking stall. They stopped inches away from my car. 3. The cruise control does not work in the car. I think by using this feature, and maintaining a steady speed, it reduces the chances of accidents. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? See answers #1, 2 and 3 above. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed? #1. No. A dealer told me it would cost me $100 to have them check the airbag light. #2. The horn was checked by an independent service center. #3. No. Has it been inspected? #1. This car has been serviced two different times for recalls for the airbag not working correctly. I wonder if the horn and cruise control wires were damaged, or not put back together correctly, when the recall work was being done, while owned by my sister-in-law. #2. No. #3. No. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? #1. The warning lamp for the airbag started coming on around August 15, 2024. #2. No. It didn't work on February 11, 2023 - when I bought the car. #3. No. It didn't work on February 11, 2023.

The contact's client owned a 2005 Toyota Matrix. The contact stated that while her client was driving at approximately 35 MPH, he crashed into another vehicle that had merged into his lane of traffic. The air bags deployed upon impact. Her client claimed that shrapnel was released from one of the air bags upon deployment; however, the claim had yet to be verified by the contact. Upon investigation, the contact discovered that the vehicle was currently under NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V025000(Air Bags) which she linked to the failure. The contact sought medical treatment at the hospital for a severe burn to an arm (arm unknown) as a result of the air bag deployment. He was also treated for pain to his neck, back and both knees. The whereabouts of the other driver were unknown. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed from the scene to an unknown facility. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had been destroyed as a result of the crash. The failure mileage was unknown.

I took my vehicle for the airbag recall. When the technician gave me my car back I noticed the airbag warning light was still on. The technician said the warning airbag light is something else but he could not say what. Please add additional recalls to fix passenger airbag. But he said “the light was on before the recall” and I would have to pay to find out what the warning is for. I waited 2 hours for the recall work to be finished and when I entered my car the warning light was still on. This vehicle has not been in an accident. This situation I read in the reviews online is happening to this car and many complaints. I feel unsafe and I think all possible recalls should be put in place for this to be taken care of by Toyota. It is dangerous and it is a liability. Please help me get this resolved with AutoNation Toyota in Winter Park.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA. CALLED LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED - THEY TOOK INFO AND STATED THEY WOULD GET PARTS AND CALL TO SCHEDULE. THEY NEVER CALLED BACK. WE CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER TO INFORM WE WERE NOT GETTING OUR RECALL SERVICE. THEY STATED THEY WOULD CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM CALL WITHIN ONE BUSINESS DAY TO INITIATE SERVICE. NO ONE CALLED. I CALLED TOYOTA AGAIN, THEY PUT ME ON HOLD AND AFTER 12 MINUTES ON HOLD I GAVE UP. TOYOTA IS NOT FOLLOWING THROUGH ON THIS RECALL SERVICE WHICH IS A DEADLY CONDITION.

I'VE BEEN CALLING AND NOBODY'S ANSWERING AND NOBODY'S CALLING BACK.

I HAVE TRIED SO MANY TIMES REQUESTING TOYOTA RECALL TEAM FOR REMEDY. THEY CONNECT ME TO THE LOCAL DEALER ON TELEPHONE. THREE TIMES THE LOCAL DEALER GAVE ME APPOINTMENTS. BUT, WHEN I HAVE GONE AS PER THE APPOINTMENTS, THE DEALER TOLD ME THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. IN GENERAL, THE COMPANY UNABLE TO DO THE RECALL REMEDY.

I KNOW IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR SOON FOR THIS 2ND RECALL AND TOYOTA'S APPROACH IS NOT TO LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT! REALLY!! I SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO USE MY OWN CAR!! I THINK I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET MY MONEY BACK OR AT LEAST A PORTION OF IT BACK. TOYOTA HAS PUT GREED BEFORE THE CONSUMER. I WANT SOMETHING DOWN AND DONE NOW! I AM TIRED OF WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO BE DOWN ABOUT THIS. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA. I WAS UPSET BY THE FIRST RECALL AND HAVING TO TAKE TIME AWAY FROM MY HOME AND JOB TO HAVE IT FIXED AND NOW TO HAVE ANOTHER RECALL AND AM TOLD NOT TO LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT!

TAKATA RECALL ELMORE TOYOTA IN WESTMINSTER, CA. FLAT OUT LIED TO ME ABOUT MY AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. ELMORE TOYOTA IS USING DECEITFUL TACTICS, AND POSSIBLY, UNLAWFUL PRACTICES. I TOOK MY CAR TO ELMORE ON 08/19/2015 FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. AT THAT TIME, I TOLD THE SERVICE GUY TO CHECK THE MOLDING AROUND MY WINDOWS, IT'S STARTING TO COME OUT, AND NEEDS TO BE TUCKED BACK IN A FEW SPOTS. AND I ASKED HIM TO GIVE ME AN OIL CHANGE WHILE IT WAS THERE. THEY DIDN'T HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS ON HAND, SO THEY GAVE ME A RENTAL CAR, AND TOLD ME, WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARRIVE, THEY'LL LET ME KNOW. I CALL A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK TO CHECK ON MY CAR, NOT A SINGLE RETURNED CALL FROM ELMORE. THREE FULL MONTHS GO BY, AND I GET A VOICE MESSAGE FROM ELMORE TELLING ME THAT MY CAR WAS READY, HE SAID TO COME PICK IT UP, AND THAT THEY WON'T PAY ANYMORE DAYS ON THE RENTAL. IT'S MONDAY 11/23/15, I WASH, WAX, AND GAS UP THE RENTAL, AND TAKE IT TO ELMORE. NOBODY CAN FIND MY CAR. NOBODY CAN FIND THE GUY WHO CALLED ME ABOUT IT BEING READY FOR PICK UP. IT WASN'T IN THE COMPUTER. I WAIT, AND WAIT. 45 MINUTES LATER, A SERVICE GUY PULLS UP IN MY CAR, AND IT'S COVERED WITH BIRD CRAP, AND A (3) MONTH LAYER OF DIRT. MY CAR IS WASHED, AND WAXED, ONCE A WEEK. IT WAS IMMACULATE WHEN I TOOK IT TO ELMORE. OBVIOUSLY, MY CAR SAT OUTSIDE ON THEIR LOT FOR (3) MONTHS. I LOOK AND SEE THAT NOTHING WAS DONE WITH THE MOLDING, SO I ASK IF THE OIL WAS CHANGED, HE DIDN'T KNOW. HE SAID, "ALL I KNOW IS, THEY FIXED THE AIRBAG". I ASKED HIM FOR THE PAPERWORK ON MY CAR, THAT SHOWS WHAT WORK WAS REQUESTED, AND WHAT WORK WAS DONE. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY AFTER I WAITED A OTHER 30 MIN. I WENT HOME AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE GUY AT ELMORE AND LEFT SEVERAL MESSAGES, AND EMAILS, EXPLAINING THAT THEY DIDN'T DO THE MOLDING, OR OIL, MY CAR WAS FILTHY, AND NO PAPERWORK. PLEASE GET IT AND CALL ME. NOTHING.*DT*DT CONSUMER STATED ISSUES WITH AIRBAG STILL NOT RESOLVED AND DEALER STILL HAS NOT CONTACTED CONSUMER.*JB*JB

AIRBAG RECALL AND THE "AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED" STARTED. MY VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED IN THE 2003 ' 2008 TOYOTA COROLLA AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING REPLACEMENT RECALL. IT WAS RECALLED FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT AND DURING THAT TIME THE PALO ALTO TOYOTA MECHANIC TRIED TO FIX THE LIGHT BUT COULD NOT FIND THE APPROPRIATE SOLUTION. NOW MY CAR IS RECALLED FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND REMAINS ILLUMINATED.

MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR - THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCK WORKS SOMETIMES, MOST TIMES IT DOESN'T. ALL THE OTHER ELECTRIC LOCKS IN THE CAR CONTINUE TO WORK.

TAKATA RECALL (POSSIBLY) SRS AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS BLINKING AND NOW IT STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES AFTER STARTUP. ALSO, PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG STATES "OFF" AT ALL TIMES. IT APPEARS ALL AIRBAGS ARE DISABLED. VEHICLE WENT TO LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER 3/2/16 FOR AIR BAG RECALL/ISSUES. APPEARS PROBLEM NOT RESOLVED. ATTEMPTING TO CONTACT DEALER AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA MATRIX. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V384000 (ENGINE), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TAKATA RECALL. TOYOTA SAYS I SHOULD NOT DRIVE MY CAR WITHOUT REPLACING THE AIR BAG. THEIR DEALER HAS NO PARTS. I HAVE BEEN WAITING 6 MONTHS. THEY CONTINUE TO BUG ME TO FIX THE CAR. THEY FAIL TO PROVIDE PARTS. I CANNOT GET A RESOLUTION.

ONLY 94,000 MILES, FULLY DEALER MAINTAINED, 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. TRAVELING AT EXPRESSWAY SPEEDS AND LOUD SCREECHING/BANGING FROM TRANSMISSION. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE 6 MORE MILES TO DEALERSHIP, BUT MOVED TO RIGHT LANE AND WENT SLOWER. STILL WAS ABLE TO SHIFT, LOWER GEARS WEREN'T ENGAGING PROPERLY AND CAR STARTED DYING ON THE ROAD. DEALER DIAGNOSIS FOR $100 IS THAT IT NEEDS AN ENTIRE NEW 5 SPD TRANS AND CLUTCH ASSEMBLY, ALTHOUGH CLUTCH SEEMS FINE.I'VE DRIVEN MANUAL TRANS FOR OVER 40 YRS. THIS CAR NEVER EVEN HAD A CLUTCH REPAIR. RESEARCH ON THE WEB INDICATES THAT THIS IS A KNOWN POINT OF FAILURE THAT TOYOTA HAS CHOSEN NOT TO FIX AND THE POTENTIAL DANGER OF HAVING THIS TRANSMISSION BLOWING OUT AT HIGH SPEED COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR CRASH ON THE HIGHWAY HAD I NOT BEEN SKILLED AT GETTING THE CAR INTO A SAFE AREA. *TR

SUDDENLY THEY HAD THE PART FOR MY CAR AND ORDERED MY DAUGHTERS. THEY PUT IT IN YESTERDAY. WHEN I WENT TO GET MY CAR I WAS INFORMED THAT MY PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON AND THAT IT NEEDED A SPIRAL ASSEMBLY. FOR 476.00. RIGHT. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT RELATED OR COVERED. I FOUND A WEB PAGE WITH SIXTY THREE PEOPLE WHO HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM. NOW BOTH MY AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE ON AND MY CLOCK DOES NOT WORK. I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS. IT IS CAUSING ME EXTREME STRESS AS I TAKE CARE OF MY ELDERLY MOM AND MY GRAND DAUGHTER. I BELIEVE IT IS RELATED. GOD ONLY KNOWS HOW MANY OTHERS THIS HHAS HAPPENED TO. IT CAN NOT BE A COINCIDENCE.I FEEL ANOTHER RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE AS THE DID DO ONE IN CANADA BUT ON ADIFFERENT MODEL CAR. CANT REMEMBER...#NOMORETOYOTAS

TAKATA RECALL. IN REGARDS TO MY RECALL AIRBAG REPAIR, WHY IS IT THAT MY 2004 TOYOTA COROLLA ALREADY HAD THE REPAIR PERFORMED? SEEMS I GET A DIFFERENT ANSWER EVERYTIME I ASK THAT QUESTION. NOW MY 2005 COROLLA MATRIX WHICH IS CURRENTLY 11 YEARS OLD IS FINALLY HAVING THIS REPAIR PERFORMED. AND TOYOTA'S RECOMMENDATION IS THAT I DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WHAT ABOUT THE PREVIOUS 11 YEARS THAT RODE IN THAT SEAT WITH THE SAME DEFECT? IF TOYOTA TRULY CARED ABOUT MY SAFETY, THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE THAT SUGGESTION WHEN THEY FIRST KNEW OF IT. BUT THEY PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE SOLD VERY MANY 4 PASSENGER COROLLAS SET-UP WITH 3 PEOPLE IN THE BACK SEAT AND ONLY THE DRIVER SITTING IN FRONT. HECK, TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS THEY SHOULD HAVE REMOVED THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OR REMOVED THE BACK OF THAT SEAT ALONG WITH THE SEAT-BELT TO GUARANTEE NOBODY RIDES IN THAT SEAT. BUT NONE OF THOSE THINGS HAPPENED SIMPLY BECAUSE TRUTH BE TOLD, IT ONLY BECAME A SAFETY ISSUE ONCE TOYOTA HAD TO COME TO TERMS WITH THE DEFECT; THEIR BEHAVIOR IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE. A SINCERE APOLOGY WOULD STATE "FOR ANY INCONVENIENCES THIS HAS CAUSED." INSTEAD OF "WE SINCERELY APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS WILL CAUSE, BUT WE ARE TAKING THIS ACTION TO ENSURE YOUR SAFETY." CAUGHT IN THEIR OWN LIE IS WHAT REALLY OCCURRED AGAIN IF THEY TRULY CARED WE WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ASAP.....THE PEOPLE I FEEL THE MOST PAIN FOR ARE THOSE UNFORTUNATE PEOPLE WHO GOT INTO A FRONT CAR ACCIDENT AND DID EVERYTHING RIGHT, BUT THEIR AIRBAG, THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO SAVE THEIR LIFE, WOUND UP EITHER INJURING THEM OR NOT DOING ITS INTENDED JOB ALL WHILE TOYOTA KNEW OF THE PROBLEM. I HOPE NOBODY LOST THEIR LIFE DUE TO THIS BECAUSE NO AMOUNT OF MONEY CAN EVER BRING BACK THAT PERSON. JUST SO UN-JAPANESE BEHAVIOR BY A JAPANESE COMPANY, SHAME TOYOTA MOTORS. *TR

I HAD TO REPLACE MY ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) BECAUSE THE ENGINE WOULD LOOSE POWER AND CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON STREET. THIS BECAME NOTICEABLE AFTER A RAIN STORM. I WAS TOLD BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS A MATRIX XRS, IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL FOR THE OTHER MATRIX MODELS; THEREFORE I SPENT APPROX. $1000 IN HAVING THE ECM REPLACED. I HAD ALL OF THE SAME CITED SYMPTOMS. PLEASE INCLUDE MY ENGINE IN THE RECALL SO I MAY BE REIMBURSED. THANKS YOU.
