More Toyota Issues: Matrix and Corolla Stalling Problems
By Chris Weiss
No, no new recall is underway. Yet. But Toyota is currently looking at possible fixes for a stalling issue with 1.2 million Matrix and Corolla models from 2005, 2006 and 2007. The problem relates to stalling due to failure in the engine control module. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration received 26 complaints detailing this problem as of November. It opened up a preliminary evaluation at that time.
Toyota sent a letter to NHTSA requesting a meeting with safety officials to discuss an early-stage investigation of the issue. It is currently considering different fixes and doesn’t believe the issue poses a significant risk to drivers.
It looks like somebody may have learned its lesson. [via Auto News]
