Matrix

  • Automatic transmission
  • 35,000 miles

I've never seen a 2005 with original hubcaps. Tried two new sets of hubcaps-most owner's buy new wheels.

Otherwise a great vehicle. Toyota admits no fault.

problem #1

Matrix

  • Automatic transmission
  • 2,500 miles

Hubcaps kept flying off the Matrix. The dealer blamed my driving (!) but I've never had this problem with other vehicles. After spending over $400 to replace the first five I lost, I went to Walmart (which I usually avoid, but I was desperate...) and bought a set of 4 for under $20. They've stayed on much better than the factory/dealer hubcaps, but still sometimes fall off. I saw another Matrix where the driver had used plastic zip ties to hold theirs on, so I'm now doing the same and (knock wood!) so far it's working.
