My 09 2.4 with 5 speed automatic had the same issues and my GM dealer reprogrammed the transmission with updated software and it was like a different car much better shifts no more surging forward when coming to a stop.

My GM dealer recieved the steering column last week and installed it today. No more rattling noise at slow speeds on rough surface roads.My 09 vibe has 60,973 miles on the clock. I hope this does not happen again at 120,000 mlies. It took a long time to get the steering column. GM and the dealer cov...

Its been five weeks now and my new steering column has not come it yet.I'm beginning to wonder if getting replacement parts is going to be a problem for the 09 and 10 vibes.

03vibedriver

Thats the exact same issue I am having with my 09 vibe with 52,000 miles.I had it checked by the dealer a they said it was the sway bar links they replaced them still the same low speed rattle on rough roads. Now they say the steering column needs to be replaced. I really messed up by trading my 03 ...

They replaced sway bar links and I still have the same problem $189 thrown away! Now they say the steering column needs to be replaced.

03vibedriver

I took my 09 Vibe to the GM dealership to investigate a noise in the drivers side front end that sounded metal to metal that occured on rough roads moving less that 10 mph. They said the front swaybar links are bad and need to be replaced. I gave them the go ahead to replace them. The Vibe has 52,00...

The one with the 14MM drain plug on the passenger side of the car.The transmission drain plug is smaller the the engine oil plug.

Congrats on a very nice 03 monotone vibe!

03vibedriver

I have a 09 Matrix all weather mat set in my 09 Vibe.

03vibedriver

The dealership reprogrammed my transmission when I went in to do the gas pedal recall. I can tell a vast difference in the down shifts at stops. I'm a lot happier with my 2.4l five speed auto vibe now.

03vibedriver

I like my 09 2.4 vibe but I'm searching for another monotone 03 vibe.I think I really messed up buy trading in my 03!

I'm using Q Horse Power 5w 20 in my 09 2.4L Vibe with 31,000 miles and just changed the oil at 30k at the 5k interval with very minimal oil loss. I drive fairly aggressively.

03vibedriver

I have 31,000 miles on my 09 Vibe and it's making a squeaking noise from the right rear wheel at low speeds. I had the dealer look at it at 28,000 miles and they could not find anything wrong. Its intermittent and loud enough to hear with the windows up and the radio on. When I apply the Hand brake ...

03vibedriver

Have your battery checked.

03vibedriver

I bought a new 09Acura TL at 1.9%. Its in the garage next to my 09 Vibe.Its got the power and and handles the curves very well I'm impressed with the the car overall.

03vibedriver

I keep my ScanGuage II connected to my 09 Vibe always and find it very useful.

03vibedriver

My 09 is the same exactly speedometer reads much faster than you are going. Verified with GPS. I just run 80 on my speedometer and I am fine.

I put a set of BF Goodrich G-Force Super Sport A/S 215/45/17's on my 09 2.4l Vibe and have put 2000 miles on them. I am extremely pleased with these tires. I stick to the road like glue while running aggressively curvy mountain roads. http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com....html

Hi the diminished value as a general rule is approximately 25% of the total repair cost. http://www.csiofnc.com/dv.aspx

03vibedriver

I put 124,000 miles on my 2003 1.8 AT vibe then traded for a 2009 2.4 AT Vibe. The 2.4 is a far superior motor for Interstate driving but for around town the 1.8 would be fine.

03vibedriver

It seems to be working. Thanks!

03vibedriver

Yes the auto text reveals the song titles and artists on the display.For so reason my has turn off by itself a few times.

03vibedriver

Spray some WD40 in the key hole and work the key gently back and forth this should work. Toyota locks tend to freeze up if not used for a while.

I lost my first center cap two weeks ago from one of my chrome clad 09 wheels. The Pontiac dealership installed four of the superseded caps a week after I notified them of missing a cap.

03vibedriver

Rotate tires every 5,000 miles and be sure they cross the back wheels to opposite front side when rotating. My 03 Vibes tires where shot (cupped) at 14,000 miles from not rotating until 10,000 miles. The Vibes will cup tires like 4WD trucks do if not rotated.

03vibedriver

Sorry Dude. Keep an open mind and a good attitude. Something good will come your way.

I've just put 13,500 miles on the clock of my 09 2.4L auto Vibe and just gleaned 29 mpg mixed city and highway driving. My mileage keeps improving as I put more miles on the car.

03vibedriver

I went to CC tonight to try to get my money back on my protection plan that I have on my recently purchased Bel Radar detector. They won't give me anything but a hard time. I am just out of luck.

03vibedriver

Sorry Man. Check here for a motor. car-part.com

It looks like it just removed the bumper did it rip the mounts apart?You don't need to buy any Lotto's for awhile!

03vibedriver

My 09 Vibe power locks include the lift gate lock. I use it daily and it works for me.

03vibedriver

The thought of this just makes me angry. I drive 100 miles a day to and from work which is a strain on the household budget already.

Don't trust the Insurance Company. Don't trust a Body Shop recommended by the Insurance Company. If this car doesn't total take the car to be inspected at an independent Wreck Check facility after repairs are completed. This will cost around $200 for the inspection but you will know if the car was r...

My Shetland Sheep Dog had the exact same problems for two years, I could not figure what was going on. Then I switched From Nutro to Biljac and the vomiting stopped.

03vibedriver

Your 09 Vibe comes from the factory with Toyota red antifreeze all ready in the cooling system. You should be good for at least 30K miles.

03vibedriver

Congrats on the New Vibe and Welcome. I would stick with the Toyota antifreeze and not even consider anything else.

03vibedriver

I was driving my 09 Vibe 2.4 and a Neon SRT pull along side me at a stop light on a four lane highway. Went the light changed I stood on the accelerator and the Neon pulled away like I was standing still. I feels bad to be owned by a Neon!

My 03 Vibe went to 106,000 miles on the original brake pads and there was some pad still left.

I had 123,598 on 2003 when I traded for my 09 Vibe in June.I have 10,237 on my 09.

I like the 69 Cougar Eliminator.I had a 69 Cougar and sold it like a fool.They are all super nice cars!

03vibedriver

Had two 17" chrome clad wheels replaced due to cracks in cladding.

I like my OnStar and XM radio and the built in phone a lot.The phone works very well using voice commands so I can keep both hands on the wheel on the twisty NC mountain roads that I drive every day.
