Toyota Matrix owners have reported 2 problems related to tail light (under the exterior lighting category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have been told by several people that after I start my 2005 Matrix xr up at night and begin to drive away that my tail lights do not come on for approximately 30 seconds. I have noticed a delay in some of the dash lights coming on, but was unaware of the tail light situation until it was brought to my attention. This happens each time that the car is started. I have not taken it to a dealer to have it checked out.
