Hello everyoneFor a while now I've noviced a slight audible clicking sound coming from the drivers side front wheel. When at slow speeds I can't hear it, it only seems to appear between 50-60km/h. Is this anything to be to concerned about?

whytea

So just thought I would start a topic so everyone is aware to which dealers are closing and which ones are staying openThe 4 I know of areTrillium is closing in 2 monthsMarvin Star is closing by years endHogan is staying openHwy 2 and whites is staying openIf anyone wants to add feel free so no one ...

I've been using 5w-30 in my 09 vibe for 6 months and haven't had any issues with mileage but that being said the dealer should be putting in the recommended oil. And I would fight for a few free oil changes. But in all honesty it won't hurt ur engine.

whytea

Try a soaking hot cloth and rubbing the area with it then take a dry cloth and dry it up. And then repeat if the salt is still there.

whytea

Very common issue here in Canada with the crazy amounts of road salt used EVERYWHERE.

whytea

I know its a long shot but hopefully they have a clearance on touch up paint I think we could all use it

Just did mine on thursday when the site was down and guess what I didnt count the thick wires are part of my 12 and cut the wrong blue wire. but i fixed it and got a switch for it to fit PERFECT right next to my traction control button. Went to the drive in saturday and the switch was perfect. Just ...

whytea

Thanks guys I get mine out in next weekend. But with this whole GM situation Im curious if the dealer will still be open by then

whytea

I had this issues once with my cavalier and after taking it to the dealer 3 times each for a day they finally figured out that there was a loose wire. It had to do with my gas cap and it being tight and the damn cavalier not realizing it.I'm convinced that for the 3 days they just stood there lookin...

If its what i think it is. What it does is when listening to XM and CDs it will scroll the words across the top instead of just the station its on.

whytea

A fellow rfder and genviber. If I ever see ur 09 white vibe ill wave.

whytea

Has anyone ever heard of this thing it looks like a scanguage just slightly cheaper. And would appreciate any feedback on these.Cheers

whytea

im looking for this in my 09 too but i guess with alot of new things we will have a wait awhile

whytea

When I first heard the automated msg i was in fiery because of all the pushing GM is doing to get you to do the servicing at the dealer. But it was just a scuzzy telemarketer and not the scuzzy dealer

I got a call tonight concerning my car warranty. So I asked the gentleman which car as i have 2. He couldn't answer if he was working for Gm or Dodge.So red flags went up and i insisted that if he couldn't tell me what car it was for how would i know how to answer the questions correctly. He went on...

I would say do it yourself. I do my own synthetic oil changes and it runs me about 25$ for oil and filter and i know its done right

whytea

Here in Scarborough and visit at least once a day

Just curious if anyone else keeps tools in their Vibe? Like torque wrenches Johnson bars sockets and other random toolsI never plan on using them unless im in my driveway. But I do keep them for an emergency and the GF keeps complaining of all the space the tool box takes up. Women never seem to und...

whytea

That seams high to me I have an 09 2.4l and avg about the same as you.Are you heavy on the gas and breaks?

whytea

So i decided to make the plunge and get a remote starter for my Vibe.I took my car in at 830am and was ensured that the new vibe uses the same bypass as the old one so i finished work at 5 and thought it was weird they didn't call me when it was done. I get there and see my car pull out and low and ...

whytea

The letter from the dealer. It doesnt seem as bad as when i first read it but im sure they get alot of people with this and make tons of money off of it

So i got home from work today and received a letter stating that im due for my 6 month check up on my 09. It also went on to say that if i don't get the 6 and 12 month check up done on my car it VOIDS the warranty.That being said has anyone heard of this before or is it just gm's way to make some mo...

whytea

ned23 Not sure if your being sarcastic about still making them. If your not might wanna look into it. Here in Canada there's lots of talk of making it illegal not to have them from Dec-March one province has already made the stepAnd to OP they say any snow tire is better then the best "all seas...

Has anyone else had a prob with the plastic on the from of the mirror popping off at the top?was driving with the window down and it took me 3 weeks to figure out where a whistling was coming from. originally i had thought it was my tired but i finally noticed the mirror top had popped off. it was e...

whytea

Just as the title says will i run into warrenty issues if i use 5w-30 on my 09. my mechanic buddy said that there will be no issues with the engine if i 5-30 but i know how some dealerships are.the reason i ask is because 5-20 has got to be one of the hardest to find at a good price.

whytea

My rear doesn't turn off as well on my 09 im just wondering if this is cause any issues down the road

whytea

So the model number for fram is PH4386 four sure doing my oil this weekend and dont have time to go to toyotathe only reason i ask is when i checked frams site and cross referenced the toyota filter in the pic and got PH4967

whytea

whytea

Just curious if anyone else has a theme song for their vibe. Mine is black betty not sure if I'm the only wierdo that has one

whytea

So my buddy just finished installing my fiamm horns. And what a difference and the 09 i didnt even have to drill a new hole for the second horn. not sure if the previous years had this i thought i read someone had to drill. Strongly recommended for anyone with the road runner horn still Meep Meep

Hey all new to the forumI pick up my 09 Vibe on Saturday but i need to find out the wiper blade size for them.
