general problems of the 2005 Toyota Matrix

The contact owns a 2005 Toyota Matrix. While driving approximately 70 mph, the front passenger window spontaneously shattered. The risk of a serious injury was increased. The contact is in the process of taking the vehicle to the dealer to determine the cause of the failure and obtain a remedy. The manufacturer stated that his vehicle year was excluded from the voluntary safety campaign; therefore, he was referred to a local dealer. The failure and current mileages were 62,500.

2005 Toyota Matrix - passenger side front automatic window failure; window was out of alignment and stuck in a position that was not all the way closed (or open). The window regulator (which was bent out of shape) and small motor was removed by owner and the window is now permanently in closed position. This sounds very similar to the problem leading to the recall of 2003 and 2004 models.
