Complete brake repair at 44,430. Outrageous. The mechanic asked me if I drive in the city (Chicago). I live out in the boonies of DeKalb. He was surprised at the premature wear. Of course, when you call Toyota Customer Care, they refer you to the dealer. Something has to be done. No wonder Matrixes are no more. Great car except for the brake problem. Happy motoring!
