Here is an article today about some recalls on Toyota vehicles. It also includes the Pontiac Vibe, which is basically a Toyota Matrix. Apparently it is possible for the infamous Toyota to have quality issues too!!:rolleyes: :eek: ;)
DETROIT (Reuters) - Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T)(TM.N) and General Motors Corp (GM.N) are recalling more than 662,000 vehicles sold in the United States due to defects in power windows, the two companies said on Wednesday.

Toyota will recall 539,500 Corolla and Matrix vehicles for the 2003 and 2004 model years, it said in a statement.
GM said it would recall 122,598 Pontiac Vibe hatchbacks, which share the same platform with Toyota's Matrix and are built by GM in a joint venture with the Japanese automaker.
On vehicles equipped with power windows, the driver and front passenger glass bolts may loosen and cause the door glass to separate from the window regulator, Toyota said. Vehicles equipped with manual windows are not subject to the recall.
Toyota will notify vehicle owners by mail, beginning in late April. It advised owners to contact their local Toyota dealer for inspection and repairs.
Replacement of the driver and front passenger door glass bolts will be done at no charge, Toyota said.
