2005 Toyota MATRIX Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1092136
Internal NHTSA #	10617524
Manufacurer	Toyota Motor Corporation
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	MATRIX
Model Year	2005
File date	03/07/14
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Air bag (srs) started going on and off intermittently, then clock went on and off intermittently. Now clock rarely comes on. The ignition must be turned on and off several times to get the air bag light to go off. The vehicle was taken to a toyota carmax dealer in laurel, md. The rep said there was probably something under the seat, and found an empty water bottle. When the car was turned on, the light was gone, and he pronounced the car fixed. Two days later it came on again and has continued to come on and off randomly. The item under the seat story is bogus and only works because the ignition is turned on and off, not because items are under the seat. This is an obvious safety issue that needs to be fixed by toyota. I am now reading many many other people have the same problem and toyota will not recognize the issue.
