2011 Toyota Matrix — reported problems

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (2,350 records, model years 2003–2012) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), powertrain (transmission & drivetrain) and speed control & accelerator.
• Transport Canada recalls (85 records, model years 2003–2013) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), electrical system and engine.
• Manufacturer communications (2,293 records, model years 2003–2013) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, engine and electrical system.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
