NHTSA complaint #10891931, filed 2016-07, 62,000 miles

Engine: “Excessive oil consumption. My car stalled in the middle of driving at a turn, several times in the cold and causing my car to slip. Luckily I was in a parking lot but when I slowed and turned, my car would turn off and right back on. I could not get a diagnosis because it didn't happen at the dealer. But then I took a test and found out I have excessive oil consumption. Not sure if related.”

NHTSA complaint #10892754, filed 2016-08, 35,000 miles

Vehicle speed control: “Transmission: my 2011 Toyota matrix jerks and accelerates suddenly with a revving noise and making choking sounds like gears shifting in a manual transmission car. This happens each time I slow down to make a turn (left or right) or merge into the freeway, when I slow down at a traffic light and tries to take off as the light turns green, and when I slow down and try changing lane to pass another vehicle. I have had to press hard on the breaks to avoid hitting another vehicle in front of me. …”
