yep typo... 7400 : )

I have had my SR5 since November 28, 2009, currently it has around 74000 miles on it. I have had the oil changed once and the tires roated once. Lately I have noticed that driving at city speeds (30-50) that I feel it's sluggish...almost like it's not shifting right. I know this has been...

When I got my SR5 we were waiting on one to come in on a truck that morning without a sunroof. It had fabric seats instead of leather but everything else was the same as the one I ended up getting. I have a freind who is also really tall and he fits fine in mine WITH the sun roof. He's driven it...

Yes we were definatly lucky. We both (my husband and I were the only one's in the car) walked away with me only having a really nasty bruised left arm from the seat belt and some minor bruises from where everywhere else the seat belt touched me :) I would definatly buy another Matrix simply...

Well if you have read my Arbitration thread then you know my husband and I have been round and round with Toyota over our 09 Matrix S. Well it was finally fixed the end of April after only 5 months of fighting with them to do what we suggested from the very beginning. Oh well. So to save miles...

Thanks

I know that it's been discussed on here before I just couldn't find it but my Maint Req light has started flashing (I just hit 4K miles) every Toyota I have had has done this and I have had to take it in to the dealer and have it turned off, I know there is a way to do it I just can't remember...

Well we actually have good news about this! We took our Matrix in for the final repair attempt before legally demanding a refund. Now, one piece of info I didn't realize I had left out was the fact that our Matrix had dealer installed aftermarket wheels and tires. 18's to be exact. After the...

Ok I have seen where several people on here have changed out the whimpy horn on their 5th gen. I want to do the same but I can't find any. Where are ya'll getting them?

When all this first came up thats what they told us was that a recall "fix" was coming and now Toyota has offically told us there is nothing they are going to do. It really sucks! :redbrick:

I wish mine would lay down and/or look out the window but my dogs HATE riding in the car but there are times that they have no choice. They freak out and climb into the front seat while I am driving and the little one tries to ride in my lap while I'm driving (a 25lb Jack Russel/Rat Terrier in...

Great idea just don't know how functional it would really be. Guess time will tell. Looks awesome though!

:lol: Funny thing is, that has crossed my mind.

We have an 09 Matrix that we bought new Feb 09. It's been in the shop 5 times for steering issues. When you're driving it the car pulls to the right or left and when you go to correct it, the steering over corrects jerking the car into curbs, the other lane, other cars, whatever is next to you...

Thanks I couldn't find it earlier.
