My toyota matrix XR has over 299,999 miles on it now and the odometer wouldn't go any further since GM didnt consider that the toyota engine would last that long...Toyota should replace or find a solution for customers who have odometers that have gone past 300K.

I don't know man, Dexron and ATF Type IV, don't have the same specs. In fact, I found a comment on Toyota's site saying that Dexron should not be used in place of Type IV. So, I have a concern that putting Type IV in the power steering system, and mixing it with Dexron (which is spec'd), may create a compatibility, and seal damage, issue.
