Just purchased an '05 Matrix XRS. It's a gamble, the car already has 290k miles on it but the price was right. There are a few issues I'm going to need to address but I'm hoping it'll be still be good fun transportation for another 50k or more. Looking forward to jumping into the forums to learn...

Hello, I purchased a used Toyota Matrix Base 2006 model with a standard transmission a couple of years ago. It came with power locks, but no keyless entry. I did some research, and I posted to a forum a few years ago and I asked about adding the door control receiver module. Someone replied to...

The Door latch for this little POS failed. After couple of blows to my right knee I really need help. Anyone had this little Latch fail? or its just the my brutish fingers. If not can someone give the part number for this coin box? I moved after I got this out of the car. I need to look harder...

My tail lights and my liscence plate lights wont turn on. I've changed the tail bulbs but that didn't help. I changed the fuse and the tail relay and that did nothing. My brake lights, hazard lights, headlights and blinkers all work. I installed a new radio and thought that might be the issue...

I have a 2003 Toyota Matrix and my running lights are not working in the front or back. The hazard lights, brake light, and headlights are all working fine. I changed the back bulbs and it did not change anything. I replaced the 15A fuse and that didn't change anything. I recently installed a...

I just purchased a 2007 Matrix today as my daughter totaled her 1998 camry and is starting a new job Monday so I am having her use my 1997 Camry with 250,000 miles on which I would drive anywhere. I purchased it from a very small dealer. Driving it this evening, I noticed the dashboard lights...

Hi there, My Matrix was rear ended tonight. The person who hit it stopped to talk to me at first but then later took off without giving me her driver's license/insurance information. She did tell me she had no insurance card with her. I remember her license plate and had reported her to the...

I have a Matrix XR with 167,000 miles that has a slight intermittent misfire. When the engine is cold the car runs absolutely perfect. Fuel trims are set at almost perfect "0" and has plenty of power. But once the engine gets up to temperature fully and runs for a bit (about 20-25 mins), the...

Hey all. Long, multi-part question here. Consider yourself warned. Still, I appreciate any help. 1) I recently replaced my upstream O2 sensor after getting a CEL. Since then, it's intermittently idled roughly, as well as what seems to be slow throttle and jerky acceleration. I'm guessing...

Just bought 2009 vibe and like everything about it except the seats in the front have an uncomfortable metal wire horizontally near upper mid back area under the seam. Is this a joke engineering design... It is the worst thing to dig into a spine in your back..? Wondering what...

Hello guys like I said I'm new to the forums. And looking at a '09 Matrix. Any serious with this year model? Thx

I Need advice and help: I am in need for tires for my Matrix XRS. I have 16” rims and the tires on the car are now (Bald) Michelin Defender A/S tires, tire size is 205/55/16. I live in MD so we get plenty of rain, sun, and snow. I am a Lift loving creature so I enjoy a little aggressive driving...

Hi guys, I just picked up a 2010 Matrix XR (Canada) AWD. I'm wondering how shutting off the VSC affects the AWD system? Does turning off VSC mean AWD no longer functions or is it just over/under steer electronic aid that gets turned off? Similarly for the traction control, in my reading it...

Hi everyone, I need some advice on diagnosing an issue with LIFT on my car. I have a 03 Trix with 04 motor, the issue is my car lift wont engage. Car revs up to 7000-7100 RPM and then cutoff kicks in, it revs up to 7-7.1 k RPM really smooth but won’t go higher. Now I do have a check engine light...

Hi Everyone, I need some advice and help. I own a 2003 Toyota Matrix XRS, and about a month ago my car engine flooded and seized. So naturally as I am “LIFT” loving creature I decided to get another engine. I found a 2004 Matrix XRS engine and replaced in place of the 2003, when I looked at the...

Hello All, Noticed by transfer case is leaking gear oil from the area where the propeller shaft goes out to the rear differential. By looking there are no means of removing it from the diff. There is a flange with bolts (or nuts and studs) at the back of the shaft on the rear diff. Do I have...

Hey y'all, I am in need of some assistance in trying to figure out why my 2005 Matrix will not start. What is happening is that when I turn the ignition to Start, I get nothing. I have power to everything and all electronics work as they should (as far as I am aware). The thing that gets me...

Hello all! Going to change the transmission fluid and filter on my 2003 Matrix XR AWD and because I live in Michigan, the pan bolts are very badly corroded. Tried looking up the part number through Toyota's parts diagrams but the part number I found was no longer available. Anyone know what...

Hello! I've been having some trouble with my 2004 Matrix XRS after, what I think was a mistake, cleaning the throttle body myself. It would be great to get an opinion on what next step to take. The story is as follows. I bought the car a while ago and the gas pedal seemed "sticky" and after...

Hello everyone! New here. I just have a quick question. My car was taken in to have work on the transmission, and I ended up having to buy a new one. When i received my car back, I had no idea my low beams weren't working because I try not to drive at night (bad vision). I know my headlights...
