KS | 09/30/09 | 4.00 | I've read where there are problems with the transmission computer on the 2005 Matrix and that Toyota knows about it and has issued a technical service bulletin to the mechanics but have yet to inform the consumer. I think they should issue a recall on this problem and fix it instead of making us fix it at our own expense to the tune of around $650 or more. | 2005 | Janina S. | IMPERIAL
CA | 07/22/09 | 3.00 | The dash clock will not illuminate, power is getting to the clock because when the time comes back it is right, AC panel lights do not always illuminate, and SRS airbag light will come on intermittently. I turn the car off and back on and the airbag light turns off. | 2005 | S B. | GAITHERSBURG

TX | 02/21/09 | 4.00 | pro: Working on 145,000 miles in almost 4 years. No problem with the drive train.
Con: Front fenders and restraints are not designed or put together very well. Needs to be beefed up a bit.
Con: lots of road noise on the highway. Could use a little more insulation. | 2005 | Roselyn O. | GUAYNABO
