Toyota acknowledges a problem for some of its vehicles which has never been subject to recall. Drivers of the Matrix, some Corollas and first-generation Prius' are finding that their odometers stop at 299,999 miles.
For Toyota, it's a good problem. The company is making some reliable, durable cars. But for some consumers, it's costly. Paying for the fix is still left to the car owners.
Ernie Scott has been driving his 2005 Matrix 100 miles a day, five days a week since he bought it new.
His current mileage -- about 304,000 miles.
