my old man juss bought a 06' matrix and I don't believe that either of us has experienced the extended crank condition. However their is a fix for it that was just released today so there isn't anything to worry about.

It is not a common problem.

Welcome to the site, Toyo Tech. What is the "fix"?

[Toyo Tech]

Actually I read this and went to check it out with my login and noticed the came out with a fix today to re&re the fuel pump assembly.

Apparently they are saying that once the vehicle is parked for a period of time there is a loss of fuel pressure so they improved the fuel pump manufacturing process to correct the issue.

And thank you mistamatrix I hope my stay here is a positive one

2005-2006 . I saw 2 tsb's and each has one vin# series. Luckily my vin# was not there. i was able to write down one of them.

2T1KR3#E#5C449277

however the TSB that I saw was a few months back.. so Toyotech might have seen a new one.. maybe he canshare it with us..

[Toyo Tech]

Well basically that TSB says what I wrote but I don't want to be linking anything with my login just in case.
