Re: 2008 out, 2008 in.....

Some of the misc items sound intriguing but I'm not sure what interchanges between first and second gens. In reality it wouldn't be worth your time to mess around with the stuff I was looking for. When I first got mine I was all into putting the correct hardware inplace of incorrect hardware. Now I ...

Re: Grinding or vibrating sound

It still does it, very annoying, but at least I'm not walking home again.

Re: Grinding or vibrating sound

Yup, I’m reading mid 11’s, so it’s not charging at all just drawing from the battery. Same thing with the other battery. Just seems weird to me that it all started after I cleaned the terminals.

Re: Grinding or vibrating sound

Replaced trans fluid and filter, no difference.

This thing is just bad all around, I haven't put 200 miles on it and it's been nothing but problems. Pretty disappointing for a vehicle that suppose to be so reliable.

I'm over in Mercer County.

Re: Grinding or vibrating sound

I felt how flimsy the the splash guards are but I see no evidence of anything rubbing anywhere. For something to rub the tire it'd have to be so loose it'd be apparent just from a quick glance. It's in a straight line when it does it but I have yet to take any big sweeping highway turns. I can't rem...

Re: Grinding or vibrating sound

I found 2 spots where there were missing fasteners, I stuck some push pins in. Thought that fixed it since it went 6-7 miles with no problems but then it started again. There's nothing touching the tires and I'm now(almost) certain it's powertrain related, as it can be felt when it happens. Took it ...

Grinding or vibrating sound

New owner of an 09 Vibe AWD with 177,000 miles. There's a noise that is random but is happening too often, it lasts for about 3 seconds and appears to come from the front. I originally thought it was drivetrain related, but after checking the front end, everything seems ok. The car recently passed P...
