2009 Toyota Matrix 4dr Hatch

158-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD

24000 mi Large amount of water noticed on front passenger floor soaking carpeting & floor mat. AC hose had detatched. Dealer replaced plastic piece with metal piece. Dealer also replaced rug in entire car. Did give me a loaner to use all 5 days.  
26040 mi Plastic door moulding on the inside door pillar came loose. Had to be put back in-not a big deal, but really shouldn't be that easy to come off. Seemed very cheaply manufactured
