So then do Toyota badged vehicles such as the Tacoma leave the NUMMI plant with a paint job equally as crappy as the Vibe's? I consider this problem to be a side effect of the GM relationship; how many Matrixes (Matrices?) have had exploding window issues?In the spirit of full disclosure, I'll be up...

I reset the remote per the instructions given in the link in this thread and now the Hatch button on my remote works. My neighbor thinks I'm odd given the door closing performance, but the problem is solved.Thanks!Phreon

The passenger window on my '04 Vibe developed the rattle/clunk that has been described many times before on this site. From the time I purchased my used '04 Vibe until recently, the window in question progressed from a light rattle to a loud clunk and pop when raising and lowering the window.I recen...

I purchased my '04 Vibe about a month ago and couldn't be happier. The key fob battery was dead, so I replaced it. All the functions worked, but now I can't get the lift hatch to pop.

I just went out to my car and lo and behold, there's an amp under the passenger seat!The right door woofer sounds scratchy like it's been blown and the left tweeter is...

I took the car in today and expect to pick it up later this evening. The dealer claims that they can't find anything wrong and that they think the pads are contaminated from the spray they used to shine the tires when they prepped the car and therefore aren't seating right. They also claim it'll go ...

The inner rotor surfaces are fine and rust free. The sound *is* coming from the rear brakes (I was incorrect in my first post). They were perfectly quiet when I drove off the lot, but in 70 or so miles, they started to grind. Though not explicitly covered in the (used car) warranty, I'm going to giv...

I recently purchased a Salsa '04 Vibe. Great little car! Acceleration isn't neck breaking, but is smooth and the car handles great. And the cavernous cargo capacity is awesome.I have a question however. I didn't notice it during test drives, but when I apply the brakes with the windows open, I can h...
