problem #1

Matrix 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 10 miles
Clutch switch which completes circuit for ignition switch is hard to engage, especially for my wife when wearing shoes with heels. If car is inadvertantly killed while starting from a stop on a hill, it makes for a hazardous situation since it requires excessive force to press on the clutch so as to engage starter motor. Toyota claims no defect exists.
