Toyota Matrix Question - Leak in passenger front and back wells

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 14:26:26 -0800

Heavy rain yesterday produced 2 gallons of water in the passenger front and back wells. We loosened the carpet on the front passenger side and used a hose to attempt to locate water entry point. Water is coming in on the right front corner by the black rubbery like front cover in the passenger area. We do not know exactly where the water enters the car from the outside. We think it is by the windshield - lower passenger side. At least the water appears to come from that area. How do we fix it or isola... More

I have over 75,000 miles on the car. Yesterday, it started making a groaning noise when I drove over 35mph. Is it wheel bearings or transmision issues? It also sounded as if there was a stick caught up under the car, but when I checked, there was nothing.

Toyota Matrix Question - Toyota Matrix 2006 FWD Brake Problem

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 20:07:42 -0800

I bought a brand new Toyota Matrix 2006 FWD from the dealer for my brother. He has been behind the wheel for more than 10 years, good records as I did. He told me he could feel that the brake doesn't response quick enough, but I though he possibly just needed some time to get used to it. Last Winter he made a left turn on a snowy day, about -20 degrees, he found the brake responsed wierdly and he lost the control, and the car hat the curb and bent the front wheel. I thought he possibly just careless driving, and we switched our car. This winter I encounted almost the same problem as he did. I drove on a snow day for about 60KMH with about -20 degrees, found a car stalled at least 20 meters in front of me, start to brake but my car shaked uncontrollably once brakes are applied, and it turned almost 90 degreees and slipped on the car in front. Well my car didn't have an ABS and snow tires, however, I had driven cars without them for more than 10 winters and never ha such a bad situation. Could any... More
