I have been a "lurker" here for a while, as I am responsible for maintaining my mothers 2007 Vibe. After my experience with recall 14491 so far, I thought I would sign up here and share my experience. The dealership where my mother's Vibe was purchased new no longer handles any GM product...
i've never had a CEL come on since owning my 05 vibe (have had close to 4 years now) but have some of the symptoms described here. get the low/rough idle on certain days (almost always in the morning on a cold day less than 30 degrees after it was warmer the previous day). my vibe WILL stall sometim...
Finally got new OEM floor mats; I'd say the old ones were well on their way out! http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a225/RRich89/floor%20mats_zpspagmmfou.jpg Where did you get your floormats from? My driver's side is starting to look like that old one on the right :) I'm realizing I haven't actually...

I'm using a gl-5 fluid (Mobile 75w-90 synthetic) in my 05 base... haven't noticed any grinding after changin...
I just bought brass bushings off ebay and they came with no instructions. Anyone have the pictures from this thread or the pdf from the link from before they were wiped off? Or another installation guide? Wasn't having much luck searching for it on my own.
have about 93k miles on my vibe so I decided to change the manual trans oil, helping my mom put a new timing belt on her honda next weekend, so glad vibes use chains!
afterburner you should see the tailpipe it has to use :P Bah-hahaha! I asked for it. It's weird that it's a blank, it looks like it has depth. Like a mount for something. Could you take a closer pic? I'm fascinated, for some reason. The hole in that head unit cover is a horizontal shape with rounde...
Hey guys, This is my first post but I've been to this board before to find info and it has already been so useful (especially for regaining AM reception after putting in an aftermarket stereo head unit). I bought an 05 vibe base 5 speed back in February with about 87k miles on it. Haven't really don...
