About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2003 Toyota Matrix. While driving approximately 35 mph on normal road conditions, the front driver and passenger side power windows were activated and the contact heard a loud squeaking and rattling noise. In addition, the front driver's side window would not close completely when activated. The contact received a recall notice for NHTSA campaign id number 08V162000 (visibility:glass, side/rear). The vehicle was repaired; however, the recall remedy has not corrected the issue. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage is 140,000. Updated 3/3/09 updated 03/04/09
I notice an occasional popping noise when rolling up and down the windows on my 2003 Toyota Matrix. This concerns me, as I believe that the glass could ultimately shatter if this persists or gets any worse.
