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.
My 2011 Matrix is not on heavy duty. The brakes are on 75% after two years. After one more year, the rear brakes worn out, while the front is on 40%. It costs me around $500. Another half year, I feel the brake is deep. and Toyota dealer told me that they need to replace the front pads and rotors. another $500. My next car should be something else, not Toyota.
