Description of the problem	Bought 2009 toyota matrix in sept. 2009... Have experienced both gas pedal issues and steering issues. Gas pedal issue has been "fixed". In regards to the steering issue, i have noticed that when i was driving at speeds over 35mph it does pull to the right and feels like the car is being pushed by wind, my daughter & husband also experienced this while driving the car. I did not report the steering issue to anyone because i did not know it was a defect, this is the first toyota i have owned and thought it was a toyota thing. Also, i was involved in an accident in nov. 2009 in the toyota matrix, i am unsure of whether the gas pedal issue may have played a role in that incident. I do not own this car now, i traded it in on another vehicle.
