Description of the problem	I own a 2006 toyota matrix with 74k. My a/c went in and out first, thought it was the compressor, then it seemed like i was not quite getting the horsepower i had previously. Then on the labor day weekend the car dies suddenly on the highway (twice), scared the you know what out of me. Been dealing with toyota in california (not great) but they ok'd it to a local dealer in union city ga,(very nice). They told me toyota had ok'd putting in a new electronic control module due to recall that i was never informed about. They put in the module 09/08/2010 but tell me that this may not be the correct fix as toyota have not informed the dealers of which is the current recall fixing module. Then they tell me they are unsure if they will have to change it again because toyota may be getting a new part and i will get a letter. This does not instill confidence after 4 sudden stalls while moving (two dying suddenly on the highway). I now have to wait until toyota deems it important enough to let me know there is a problem. What galls me is they sent out a press info thing august 26th acknowledging 3 accidents, 12 days later my 2006 matrix dies twice on the highway. I could've been killed. They still have not informed me the car owner despite having my phone number, e-mail and home address. Take this recall seriously it is a very dangerous problem.

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.
