I encountered a flat tire. i pulled the tire off and placed the spare on. the brake drum came off the car and remained housed in the wheel well. after placing the spare on, i drove about 30 miles to my mechanic with no brake drum. i encountered extensive damage to my break system. the vehicle was stationary when changing the tire and in motion when brake system damage was done.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 toyota matrix. while driving 55 mph, the air bag warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the air bag sensor failed. the vehicle was not repaired. the contact also stated that while driving approximately 55 mph and depressing the brake pedal, the brakes failed causing the vehicle to drive into an intersection. the vehicle was taken to a dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure but replaced the master brake cylinder however the failures persisted. the recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 15v285000 (air bags) was received in august 2015. after contacting the dealer on multiple occasions, the contact was informed that the parts needed to repair the vehicle were still not available and no estimated time for receiving the parts could be given. the failure mileage was 100,000.
Air bag panel light has been coming on and off. the model year is 2005,but the car was made possibly in 2004. the dealer refused to inspect without charge then telling me that recall is for not this model year. the brake, when the abs is on in snow conditions, car take too long to stop,keeps kidding. also engine revs without driver input when stopped or idling. toyota dealer denied, to be their problem. *tr
