The 2007TOYOTACOROLLA MATRIX carries 57 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 4 crashes, 0 fires, 9 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2007 COROLLA MATRIX is air bags with 37 filings, followed by electrical system (3) and unknown or other (3). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 4 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 1 investigation file overlapping the 2007 COROLLA MATRIX. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

I have been waiting over 2 years for this passenger side airbag recall to be remedied. I was told a remedy was available about a year and a half ago, but despite many calls and service appointments where I left the car with Toyota (they even kept my car for nearly 9 hours once), they always tell me they don't have the part available and that they will call me when it becomes available (they still haven't). I tried multiple Toyota service centers in my area with the same results. The airbag was already recalled previously and the remedy was to replace it with an airbag part that was also recalled, so in actuality it has probably been over 5 years since the original recall and after all this time my car still has an airbag inflator that may cause fire, injury or death. I paid for a car so I could use all of the available seating, and for most of my time owning it and for the foreseeable future I'm being told by Toyota not to use the front passenger seat. Totally unacceptable, regardless

THE PROBLEM IS NOT SPECIFIC TO THIS CAR. THE TIRE SPEED RATING SYSTEM IN USE TODAY IS LONG OVERDUE FOR UPGRADING. PROBLEM 1 IS THE CONFUSION THAT EXISTS BETWEEN Y AND (Y). ONLINE TIRE DEALERS OFTEN BLUR THE TWO CATEGORIES. PROBLEM 2 IS THE ACTUAL SPEED RATING OF (Y) -- IT IS UNKNOWN BUT HIGHER THAN 186. PROBLEM 3 IS THAT TIRES IN THE UPPER RANGES ARE NOT SEPARATED. IF YOU BUY TIRES FOR A 2004 FORD GT, THEY MUST BE GOOD FOR UP TO 215 MPH, BUT 270 MPH IS NOT NECESSARY. THERE ARE MANY TIRES THAT ARE GOOD FOR 215 BUT NOT 270 MPH. THE CURRENT SYSTEM DOES NOT TELL CONSUMERS WHICH TIRE IS SAFE! I PROPOSE A NEW METRIC-BASED SYSTEM. THE FOLLOWING SPEED RATINGS WOULD ASSIGNED TO EACH TIRE: SPEED RATING 15 (150 KM/H) 20 (200 KM/H) 25 (250 KM/H) 30 (300 KM/H) 35 (350 KM/H) 40 (400 KM/H) 45 (450 KM/H) 50 (500 KM/H)

I APPRECIATE THAT TOYOTA YOUNGER FIXED THE AIRBAG RECALL. I WOULD HAVE APPRECIATE IF THEY WOULD HAVE WIPED DOWN THE DASH BOARD AFTER INSTALLING. I ALSO NOTICED THE PANEL OVER THE AIRBAG HAS A BUCKLE/CREASE AND IT DOES NOT LOOK SECURE AROUND THE EDGES. I HAVE ATTACHED IMAGES . IT NEVER LOOKED LIKE BEFORE A DROPPED OFF MY CAR.
THE AIRBAG RECALL FIRST HAPPENED SEVERAL YEARS AGO. MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT THE TIME. NOW THERE IS A SECOND RECALL FOR THE SAME AIRBAG. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
I AM STILL WAITING FOR MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TO BE REPLACED. IS TAKADA/TOYOTA EVER GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE IT? MY CAR IS 2007 WITH ONLY 85,000 MILES ON IT AND I WANT TO KEEP IT. WHEN WILL THE AIRBAGS BE REPLACED?
