Description of the problem	I have a 2009 toyota matrix that has multiple issues including a steering issue that almost caused my family their life, now i am being told i need new brakes at 19,800 miles. The rear brakes are not adjusting at all which may be causing the steering issues. Car is having interment issues going into 1st and reverse, reported multiple times, toyota says they cannot duplicate. Car is still under warranty. Also, one tire is wearing on one side which is a known issue. The steering issues has been reported along with the one tire wearing issue by over 500 people but toyota will not recognize it. I am scared to take my car on the interstate due to the steering issue and this is a new car with low miles. My family is at risk of break failure, or worse due to the defects. When i called toyota,m they said if i ride my breaks a lot, that could be the cause. I do no such thing. This car is only driven to work and back everyday and has been serviced on a regular basis only by toyota dealer in rivergate. I have also reported defects in the gas gauge. When i fill the car up, it registers on empty for at least 2 hours before moving to f. It does not happen every time and since toyota cannot see it, they said they cannot fix it.
