I was attempting a left turn and had begun to accelerate but then decided to not turn, I took my foot off the gas pedal and it continued to accelerate, I'm not sure if I was able to apply the brake and get any results or not because I was hit by oncoming traffic suddenly. I was very confused by the incident, because it was not my intent to drive forward and yet it did so. I was assuming that since I had the car serviced for the recall issues last month, the car was safe. We have also had issues with the gas pedal being non responsive when in cruise control mode. It had happened once when I had used it and once when my husband had used it, but we had no incidents from it and discontinued using cruise control. The car was towed to the Cherokee county (ga) Toyota collision center where I told them of the non intended acceleration. They assured me they would look into it, but only after repairing the body. After they had done so, they called me and told me to generate a case and gave me the number to Toyota. I did so on Friday, April 16th. I have not yet heard from the case manager, but am concerned and frightened of the vehicle at this point. I have a head injury; a concussion and a wrist injury as a result of the accident. The recall service work was done at Cherokee county Toyota in Georgia where I purchased the car. My insurance company was also informed of the issue and have assured me that they will look into the issue and seek repayment from Toyota if they are liable for the accident. The service manager and collision center guy who is handling my vehicle have told me that it is more likely that I would be "hit by lightening and mauled by a bear on the same day" than it is that my accident was caused by a problematic or unintentional acceleration that is a result of an issue with the car. They also told me that a computerized "test" was done and that my car is ok, but then told me to initiate a case with Toyota.

It is reported regarding the Toyota sudden acceleration recall that for owners who have had the first attempt to correct the problem (install metal reinforcement bars in the accelerator) and the attempt did not work Toyota would replace the entire accelerator assembly at the vehicle owner's request. I have had problems with the unintended acceleration, had the first repair attempt completed and I still have the problem. I called my local Toyota dealer where I purchased the vehicle and was told that Toyota will now refuse to perform this second attempt until next month when another different type of "fix" will be scheduled (shaving the accelerator pedal). My vehicle does not have floor mats and I find this excuse unacceptable.

I recently bought a 2010 Toyota Camry and was never contacted by the dealership or Toyota about the two recalls on my car. When I called the dealership to make an appointment to fix my car, I was told by the service person that why did I need to fix it for, he acted like he didn't even know about the recalls. They made me wait two weeks for the appointment and then had to keep my car for a whole day. Before the 2010 Camry I had bought a 2009 Matrix through another dealership and I finally this past week received a safety recall on that vehicle, well unfortunately I don't have the car anymore since I had a car accident in March of 2009, where I almost lost my life. Had I known the vehicle had issues I would have immediately returned the car. I went through months of physical agony and medical appointments and today I am still not better a year later. I feel that I was betrayed by Toyota not once but twice. I would never buy another vehicle from Toyota. I feel that the way they handled this whole recall situation is unethical. I could have lost my life and never known about the car problems. Then I watch the news and see that there has been many deaths because of this and I could have been another statistic.

My 2009 Toyota Matrix was on the recall list for gas pedals that may stick or accelerate without cause. I took the car into rice Toyota in greensboro nc where it was purchased. They performed the recommended repair on Feb. 13, 2010. On Feb. 22, I started my car and it accelerated without cause. The floor mat was in its proper position. I tapped the gas pedal lightly to "unstick" it. This did not work. I turned off the engine and waited a few minutes and restarted it without incident. I had not had any problems with this car prior to the "fix" and haven't had any since the Feb. 22 incident. Now what do I do?? I've contacted the dealership. They are willing to look at it but have said there isn't anything they know that is causing this and told me to contact Toyota. I will do that today if I can get through.

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.

Had the recall issue with the gas pedal fixed - however when trying to make a turn in traffic there is a hesitation before the car goes! it is only a few seconds of a delay, however dangerous when you need the car to go. On going issue - does not do it every time so it really catches you off guard.

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.

I have a 2009 Toyota Matrix. I purchased it in November of 2008. In October of 2009 the car had roughly 7,000 miles on it. I experienced my first incident of unintended acceleration. I drove up a hill to a stop sign and as I braked the car lurched forward. I put both feet on the brake and put the car in neutral. I thought that I might have some how had my foot on the gas, so I did not think it was a serious concern. However, I had two more similar incidents in the following months. Both pulling up to stop signs. Both times I heard the engine start to accelerate and was able to control it. When I heard about the Toyota recall I immediately called and had my car serviced. The Toyota dealer did recall work on my brakes and gas pedal on February 10th, 2010. On February 26th, I was driving about 5 mph in a parking area with my son. I put my foot on the brake and I felt the car push forward. I put my other foot on the brake as well. My son said "its doing it again mom!" I put it in neutral and we both heard the engine wind out like I had pushed the gas pedal to the floor. This obviously means the recall "fix" isn't working! I contacted my dealer and am getting a loaner car. I am very concerned what this means in terms of future safety and my monetary investment in this car.

The first thing I noticed was that the accelerator pedal would not accelerate when I stepped on it going onto the on-ramp, about a month ago. On Tuesday, I went to the dealer and they said they didn't have the parts yet, that they would call me, and that they didn't even know what to do with the parts when they got here. They said they had one of those courses two weeks ago, but what they learned there does not really apply to the problems that are coming on now. So even when they got the parts, they would have to figure out what to do with them. I tried to ask for a replacement or something of the sort, and they said that they didn't even have any cars to provide me because all the models on the lot were included in the recall. The next day (yesterday), I tried to stop at a stop sign and it diminished the speed but it did not stop completely. It didn't stop until the middle of the intersection and I got a ticket.
