One problem related to paint has been reported for the 2009 Toyota Matrix. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The paint on my Matrix is bubbling and peeling, now my car is rusting. I live in florida, so no salt issues, this should not be happening to a 5 year old car. Reading online that this is a major problem with Toyota's that are built in the USA and with silver paint. My car is metallic dark silver. This should be a recall.
