My alternator just died for the first time....at 272,000 miles

Yes, i've seen a couple, but it's a last resort for me.

Hi, I need to get a new drivers seat belt buckle. This is the second one that's worn out on me. The part # is 88972267. Does anyone know if any of the other buckles would work? (Mechanic side drivers side has different part #). Also, does anyone know if there is a corresponding Matrix part number? T...

Found this online, my Vibe is at 260K

215,000 on my 2003 GT and running great. I didn't do a good job of waxing and the clear coat broke down after 9 years. Just got a new paint job and the car looks great!

I need to get to the back of my aftermarket radio to replace the audio cable I used for my IPOD. I was wondering if anyone out there might be willing to make a youtube video with some show and tell to get it out. I have a 2003 Vibe GT. I don't do this stuff to often so a video would help!

That error message started coming up at 198k. I used an AMSOIL product and within 5 miles the check light went out. It came back on at about 203k and another container of AMSOIL turned it off. I'm not at 210 and the engine light hasn't come back on.

My check light come on again. I did a search online, someone said they tried Amsoil PI Performance Improver Concentrate to clean the sensors and it would work after 20 miles.I bought it, put it in my tank. Drove 10 miles and once I restarted the car, the check light came off again. Anyone else try t...

I have the original parts!

I'm the original poster. Mine came on and off a couple times within a week. It hasn't been on since, and that's 4k miles ago. The only thing that was done was a fuel injection, I don't think it had ever been done before. Not sure if that had anything to do with it.I live in CA., I believe catalytic ...

I'm not very car literate, pardon the ignorance. Any have these go bad? My car wouldn't start yesterday after having exhibitied no problems. Mechanic said code #1692 came up and had to replace. Parts 144/labor 190. Mechanic said parts supplier was surprised this piece died. Once the supplier found o...

The light went out today. I think I'm going to try an OTC cleaner from an auto parts store. I don't see any point unless my MPG is going downhill

I don't know what the code was, my mechanic just said it was the CAT and it would be about $600. I can probably get it read again. I'm hesitant to pay that much if I don't have to. I believe he said it's about $450 part with $120 labor.

I just hit 201,000 miles on my car and an error light came up. Mechanic said it's the catalytic converter. I just got my smog check two months ago. So I don't have to worry about passing. I'll put on another 45k before I do in two years. What's the worst thing that can happen if I don't fix it? It's...

About 5 years ago I had my engine cut out on me while driving. Mechanic convinced me I spaced out and turned off my ignition while driving. Since I was going down a mountain road, I doubt I could accidently do such thing. Today, I was making a right hand turn onto the freeway and it cut out on me ag...

I did the fix when the recall first came out. Mechanic said the recall work looked good and had nothing to do with my problem.

I rolled down my passenger window on my 2003 vibe, and it got stuck in the middle. Turns out one of the two plastic pieces that support the power window feature broke. The window, plastic, and motor are all sold as one, and the new piece costs about $1,000. I got it at a junk yard for $500. But stil...

I have a 2003 Pontiac Vibe GT with the original stero. Can anyone tell me if XM Direct Connect would work?

I found this post, but it refers to the problem being with after market radios. Is this something I should show to my mechanic, or is there another thread someone can recommend? Thanks!http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=5952

Two bulbs went out that control lighting for my A/C and heat console.My mechanic took apart the dash and replaced the bulbs. When everything was reconnected, my FM radio worked, but my AM no longer does. i just have a 1 CD/ regular radio, no changer.My mechanic is trustworthy, he tried a different a...
