Description of the problem | 2009 toyota matrix since purchase has had a throttle/brake/transmission anomaly the car accelerates suddenly when going down a big hill or whenever i brake approaching a red light. Additional brake pressure - so far - has stopped the car.. But i expect a vehicle to slow down not accelerate when i use the brake pedal. The recall fix has been applied - same action. I am concerned i am driving a vehicle that may suddenly cause a life threatening problem, for me or someone in front of my vehicle. Dealer shrugged - expected the recall to work. |
