2004 Toyota Matrix
Engine not specified
| 31000 mi US $1200 |
Clutch went bad, it's poor design and many XRS owners have problems. |
| 125000 mi US $220 |
Failed Clutch...slipping |
2004 Toyota Matrix 4dr Hatch
173-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual FWD
| 158000 mi | Vibration around 70mph under throttle. Inspected at dealer without cause. Tire balance didn't help. Drove until I feared mechanical failure. I'm convinced it was a CV joint or half shaft issue. |
| 68000 mi US $1150 |
Replaced clutch which was starting to slip. Apparently this is a common problem with the XRS models, with many needing a clutch replacement before 50k miles |
2004 Toyota Matrix 4dr Hatch
130-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD
| 98890 mi C $850 |
Replaced clutch |
| 226300 mi C $450 |
3rd, 4th and 5th gear about to die, tranny rebuilt, found a great mechanic, he did it for cheap! |
| 106000 mi | Manual transmission failure. The car could be driven,however,with a high degree of reluctance. |
2004 Toyota Matrix 4dr Hatch
130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD
| 29760 mi | Key would not come out of ignition. Only happened in the cold days of winter. Needed to replace complete gear shift system. Need to wait now for 2007 winter to see if it happens again. Warantee covered. |
