Replying to: mkharmon (Aug 10, 2009 4:50 pm) I just read your comments and wanted to give you some info on my situation. I have a 08 matrix 5 speed, which is not fun to drive. My 3rd gear and reverse seems to stick sometimes, and a few months ago (around 20,000 mi) wy car started to make a single loud popping noise when I left my neighbor hood. It seem to happen more often when I just start the car, but has also happened in mid driving when I go over a bumb or turn but that is very rare. My father-in-law owns a toyota dealership (the reason I bought the car). I gave it to him to look at and they even had the regional toyota specialist look at it and they could not find out what it was. I told them to check the transmission, brakes, and motor mounts. The claimed that they did and found nothing, but it seems that if there was nothing wrong it would not make a loud ass noise. I have considered trading back in for a different car since they have no idea what it is. Let me know if you ever figure it out. Jordan |

I appreciate all that you guys have written to warn me. As I was driving down the road besides hearing strange sounds as usual my car developed a high whining noise. I looked around to see if there were any emergency vehicles only to realize that it was coming from my car. After all I had read, I suspected what the problem might be, and sure enough within a mile it broke down. Not able to put it in 1st gear at all. It has 94,542 miles on it. Is there anyone out there who knows a good solution to this and/or who knows an attorney willing to file a class action suit on our behalf? Much gratitude, Toyotafiasco margot114  gmail.com

| I have a 2004 mistake Oh I mean Matrix. Transmission number 3 just failed today. I was lucky when my first clutch failed 11,000 miles, and after much discussion they fixed free of charge. After 2 failed I was not going to let Toyota touch it went to private repair shop, They told me I wouldn't have any problem with their clutch. Well one year later here I am again. I am over 50 and have been driving standards for 25 year. I also got the same story- Driver error. It might be driver error but the one error I will never make again is to buy any kind of Toyota. By the way does anyone have hub cap left on car. All Matrix around here loose their hub caps. Well I would rather replace hub cap than Clutches | |

Hello all. Anyone interested in filing a class-action lawsuit, I am in the process of contacting an attorney on Monday August 30, 2009, and I will be needing a list of names and addresses in order to make this happen. I will also give him all of these posted messages from the site and let it be known that Toyota has made a horrible mistake with their transmissions they are putting into these matrix'. All interested parties email their information so we can hopefully be reimbursed. Email address: hiddot84hotmail.com Please put subject as Toyota Matrix Class-action Lawsuit. Thanks, Mr. Roatsey |

Replying to: hiddot84 (Sep 07, 2009 11:05 am) I would like to be involved with this lawsuit. I have a 2003 Matrix with a manual transmission. I am on my third transmission, which has recently died. I can be contacted at fabjance gmail.com thanks. |

Replying to: badvibes (Apr 04, 2008 6:13 am) In April of 2008 my 03 Matrix had just reached the 100K miles (101k to be more exact) when the manual transmission went... no prior warnings much like your description. We had it replaced and spent upwards of $2,000. It's been fine since but it was, as for you, a HUGE disappointment coming from a Toyota....! plus, the risk involved on it failing while driving.... Count me in as yet another outraged buyer interested in building a case. Did you get your $$$ back? Eugenia

Replying to: hiddot84 (Aug 29, 2009 6:36 pm) 112K miles that the heat shields were lose but there was nothing wrong with the tranny, having been the victim of a hit and run while waiting for the tow truck when the transmission quit on the interstate and being REALLY ticked spending over $3,100 to replace the transmission, I'd be more than happy to get further information on a class-action lawsuit. Please count me in!

As we generally do not permit the solicitation of lawsuit action in the forums, nor do we recommend the posting of email addresses (as noted in the post box - we can't stop anyone from mining it), please use the email address in your profile and make it "public" to other members if you wish to contact each other directly. kcram - Pickups/Wagons Host
