Description of the problem	Numerous times while driving, regardless of speed (sometimes on the highway at 75 mph, others when pulling out from a stop to cross a busy intersection), the vehicle seizes and i lose control of all acceleration and braking mechanisms, while the engine revs and the car slows to almost total stop, with my only hope of swerving into a ditch to avoid being rear ended by the cars and massive mac trucks behind my vehicle, impossible to avoid colliding on the narrow steep rural roads. In the course of one mile, today specifically, the vehicle convulsed and seized four separate occasions, where i could only turn my blinker on and hope people could go around me. I long considered this issue related to slippery road conditions, because that's what it feels like, though experiencing the terror of losing complete control on a hot sunny, dry day last summer put the severity of this issue into perspective- the driver needs to be in control of the vehicle and the full operator of every function to prevent the vehicle from becoming a deadly weapon. This vehicle inhibits my ability to prevent harm. In trying to diagnose this issue, i have spent tens of thousands of dollars, and the vehicle still remains unsafe. On 4/9/18, i spent $2,065. 29 to replace wheel bearings for the second time in under a year and a half, as well as serviced the emergency break, purchased new tires yet again, and rebuilt the entire transmission. Back on 11/20/17, the vehicle received brand new lf wheel bearing and brand new spark plugs for $535. 29 to cure the power issue, to no avail. Only 8 months earlier on 3/30/17, i spent in excess of $1200 to service the struts, shocks, rear brakes, break pads, rodars, brake callipers, and rear emergency break, and still the issue persisted. The engine, wheels, and brakes of this 2007 toyota matrix continue to impede my ability to keep the people on the road safe.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
