Description of the problem	On february 11, i took my 2009 toyota matrix to motorcars toyota of cleveland heights, ohio, to have the car repaired in the gas pedal recall. While there, i was informed of another recall on the car, on its brakes. Both of these issues were address and i picked the car up on february 13th. On february 24 at 7:45am, i was driving westbound on i-90 in westlake, ohio; it was snowing and the roads were wet, unsalted. As i was rounding a corner near the crocker bassett exit, my car began to skid. I immediately began to pump the brakes and attempt to straighten my car out, but the brakes did not engage. I firmly pressed down on the brakes and nothing happened; i then tried the emergency brake and the car still did not slow down. I was unable to regain control of the vehicle and it began to spin out and to the left. I pumped the brakes as hard and fast as i could, but the brakes never engaged and my car hit the cement median at 55mph. Due to a build up of snow and ice against the median, my car was propelled into the air and landed on its roof. My airbags did not deploy in the crash.
