CarComplaints.com Notes: The Toyota Matrix is the mechanical twin of the Pontiac Vibe.
Both models were a joint GM-Toyota venture, manufactured together at a NUMMI production facility in Fremont, CA. Only the heating & A/C systems are different.
I have been a strong supporter of Toyota and even convinced three of my family members to buy Toyota. For the most part we have all been pretty happy with our Toyotas but this issue really puts a sour taste in my mouth. My transmission fully failed shortly after 100,000 miles and the cost to fix a Toyota transmission is pretty outrageous.
