2009 VIBE GT 2.4 engine.130K miles I have a whining noise from the passenger side of the engine. It is very noticeable when temps are cold. Goes away as soon as engine temps are normal. noise is in sync with engine speed and more noticeable under load. Just because it was easy, I had changed the idl...

Thanks again...strange that I can not find a Haynes or similar manual that covers the 2009 GT. 117K miles a going strong. Except for a transmission rebuild due to faulty valve assy and a minor tune up, it has been a reliable car. Noisy as hell though

Thank you Just what I needed. I will post my results

Can anyone provide the pin assignment for the O2 sensor on my 2009 GT. one pin is ground, one is the signal to the computer and two are the heater circuit. I want to check mine out before I buy a new one. Also going to try to clean them first.

Just turned 100,000 miles and figured it was time for tune up, plug etc. Been experiencing slight hesitation when first stepping on gas and when cruising with light pedal pressure I have the feeling that the engine may want to stumble. I decided to clean the throttle body as part of my tune up effor...

Where is the ETC sensor located on my 2009 vibe GT

do a google search on part number PT278-12090 That is the one I have. Cost $240 took less than 30 minutes to install

Check photo by Gohan77 That looks like mine. I will look for vendor data and post it. I keep the rack stored in the ceiling of my carport. Takes about 10 minutes to attach

I tried to attach a smaller photo

after I sold my pickup, I needed a way to haul a sheet of plywood. This is what I made using PVC pipe attached to my roof carrier and trailer hitch. Any one interested in building one let me know and I will provide more info Email at leaster @sc.rr.com OOPS SORRY jpg file too large to add

I want to add roof rails to my 2009 Vibe GT. I will be searching salvage yards but I am concerned about the difficulty to install them. Anybody have experience with this , let me know. How about water proofing

Thanks for the response. Waiting for the tax refund to make my move

I want to add a tow kit on my 2009 vibe gt. 1.25 inch receiver for a bike carrier. Also want to add cargo rails to roof. Should have got them when I bought the car. Anybody had experience adding these items and what is a recommended source.

I need the url for a site that will define engine codes. Some one on this forum gave me the address of one that not only defined the code but gave a full explanation of the problem. I have misplaced the url info. Please help

I had the same problem a year ago. It was accompanied by the loss of drive. Turning off the VSC seemed to help but the problem came back just before Xmas. The lights never went off but it would drive OK with a little slip between 2nd and third. While out of town it failed again and I had to a seek h...

Checked level per instructions in owners manual. Right on the money. Hoping it would be the cause of my earlier post "transmission disengaging".

Thanks for the tip. Think I will buy one.

This thing could be heat related. Tranny work fine driving around the neighborhood. took it out on the road and it started acting up after 15 minutes.

Thanks, I feel so stupid. How many times I have looked in the engine compartment and never noticed the dip stick.

Hope I did not mislead anyone...I have a 5 speed automatic. I have crawled under the car and can not find a fill port. I have even removed the air filter and looked from the top.

I am having a VSC failure indication with the check engine light on. Turned VSC off and it worked for a while then the transmission disengaged as if you pushed in the clutch of a manual. Though I would check transmission fluid before I take it a mechanic to get the codes read. I can not find the fil...

not comfortable driving it to advance auto..may get stranded . I am going to check for electrical connections associated with the tranny.

2009, GT, 2.4L, 52K miles...Problem started with VSC, check engine and skid icon on. Turned VSC off ran ok for a day then the transmission feels like it is disengaging. Barley got it home. I have checked wheel sensors for wiring problems....seem OK.

Having similar problems with my 2009. VSC light flashes and skid icon is on. Turned VSC off and it ran ok for a few miles then the transmission disengages momentarially, especially when trying to shift. barely got it home. Codes indicate numerous problems communicating with drive train but nothing s...

Thanks for the response. Turned VSC off and engines runs OK. Definately associated with VSC. Will go by Advanced Auto and get the code read.

VSC light flashing, Skid control icon is on, Engine light is on, Engine runs radically....HELP anyone??

It feels like the engine wants to stall when the throttle is almost closed (ei driving about 30mph with little pressure on gas pedal.) It stalls sometimes when first driving, before warm up, backing out of drive or pulling into a parking spot within the first few minutes of driving. NO ENGINE LIGHTS...
