“November 18 my 2006 Toyota Matrix began to accelerate uncontrollably after filling up tank with fuel. I pulled the vehicle to the side of the road turned off the engine. The engine then would not start so it was towed to windsor Toyota dealership. Test drove & check for water in tank elimated code p0171 and gave me free injector cleaner. Should the dealer check gas pedal recall on his 2006.”
