Toyota Matrix owners have reported 3 problems related to manifold/header/muffler/tail pipe (under the engine and engine cooling category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My 2010 Toyota Matrix has been having a oil consumption problem for the past few years. I have received a letter from Toyota that they are aware of the problem. So far I have had two oil consumption tests and both times they say its under the recommended amount of oil loss. But when I take my car in under the recommended time for a oil change I have almost no oil left. Now my engine has a slight rattle when I accelerate. Every morning when I start my car my garage fills with smoke that comes from my tail pipe. I showed a video of this to a Toyota service advisor and he just brushed it off.

46,686 miles and the intake manifold gasket needed to be replaces as it was a defective gasket- hard with bubbles- I have the gasket. When I called Toyota I was informed that it was an issue with this make/model, but Toyota wouldn't reimburse costs of replacing the defective part.
