| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In 9/02 i was involved in an accident. while driving at 45 mph on wet a road, i applied the brakes hard and did not stop before hitting the vehicle in front of me. there was adequate stopping distance & i know that our saturn wagon would have stopped on time. on 11/30/06, my husband was involved in an accident. while driving 65 mph on a dry road he applied the brakes hard and did not stop before hitting the vehicle in front of him. he also had adequate stopping distance and he states that our previous saturn wagon or our subaru wagon would have stopped in time. i have never hit a vehicle while braking hard in a vehicle w/ abs until the toyota matrix. we got one of the early matrix's in 7/2002. now that this has happened to both of us, we wonder if the abs was faulty on the early versions of the matrix. *jb |
