And the hits just keep on coming for Toyota. 1.1 million (1,100,000 ) North American market Matrix and Corolla vehicles from 2005 - 2008 have been recalled due to stalling concerns. Toyota claims the failure stems from improperly manufactured engine control modules. Cracks can develop in the solder forcing the computer to fail even if the vehicle is in motion.
This latest recall brings the total number of Toyotas recalled to 12.3 million since November, 2009.
More than 1,000 complaints about Matrix and Corolla stalling were reported.

Stalling. Now they have problems at both extremes.

What happens is, the engine hits redline and faints because it has never come close to redline before.

I believe that the Pontiac Vibe is also included in this recall since it is a mechanical twin of the Matrix

Thank you for pointing out that 1.1 million is indeed 1,100,000. Never knew that before.

I forgot they still make the Matrix. They left is pretty boring, and those wheels look tiny on it like it is a SUV or something.
