2005 Toyota MATRIX Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1070037
Internal NHTSA #	10594046
Manufacurer	Toyota Motor Corporation
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	MATRIX
Model Year	2005
File date	13/01/14
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The matrix began having various electrical problems, including engine warning lights turning off and on, airbag warnings, clock and headlights/brakelights turning off and on. We have brought it in to several mechanics for checks and various repairs, to no avail. Most recently, a dealer shop diagnosed that the ecm is likely failing, and in looking at the records from another dealer shop noticed that the ecm was on back order in 2011 to install a new one after a recall, but that a new one was never installed. However, my service records show that the first dealer shop told me (fraudulently?) that it was in fact installed. The car may not be safe to drive, but i have not been successful to this point in getting it repaired. The second shop informed me that the first dealer shop is responsible.

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.
