Good Bye Fellow Vibrators!

Well I had my '09 Vibe for a little over a year and 70K miles. It was a good little car and I had fun with it.My company hired a new guy and he gets my Vibe. I got a new Chevy Crew Cab LTZ pickup, fully loaded, leather, nav, heated seats, all the fun stuff. It's not as sporty as the Vibe but is way ...

Try putting small spotter mirrors on both mirrors. They help a lot.Or you could do what I did, take a sawsall and cut the roof off! :D

Well, dropped the Big Vib(rator) off at the dealer this morning and just got the call. It needs new hubs and wheel bearings. Covered under the 100K warranty but parts are on back order and they don't know when they will get them!They didn't say why the parts went bad so I'll ask when I pick it up. L...

Re: (Underdog)

Yeah, company car so I can't complain too much! They pay for gas too. Had the brakes done and new tires put on, still vibrates. I'm trying to get in to a dealer to have it checked out but they are all book up till next week. I have to drive to Phoenix/Tucson next week for business and was hoping to ...

Yup, I have the little spotter mirrors on the outside rear view mirrors.Speaking of those outside rearviews, they are mounted too high on the doors so with the extra wide A pillars and the mirrors they block a lot of front view. Especially on the right side. My head can rub on the roof and I still h...

My Vibe Sucks!

Not really, just some things bug me. 1. It's hard to see out of. Who designed this thing? It's like driving a panel truck! 2. What's up with the interior light delay? Why do I have to wait in the dark for my interior light to come on when I open the door? 3. My radio volume knob broke and they can't...

Re: 5 Speed "tap shift" - Do you use it? What's it for? (musicmanmu)

I use mine all the time but then, I just sold my C5 6 speed Corvette so I keep the throttle mashed on the Vibe! I drive the Ortega Highway in southern Orange/Riverside county in So Cal every day. It's a great twisty road through the mountains. I use the Tap Shift to keep it in the power band because...

Re: Transporting Large Dog (djkeev)

I have a 70 lbs Weimaraner (Buster) and he loves to ride. I keep the back seat down and use a dog bed I got from Costco so he doesn't slide around and has a nice soft place to lay. I have a harness that goes around his chest that gets clipped int. I think it's called a "Mutt Slinger" and i...

Re: I Got Free Vibe! (Blueridge9)

I put the spotter mirrors on right after I got it. I run them on all my cars and they really help. I saw one of the NASCAR style interior wide view mirrors and thought about getting that too. The camera is a good idea. We bought three of these at once and one had the rims and fog lights so I claimed...

Re: I Got Free Vibe! (HawaiiPontiacLover)

Yup! I can do what I want with it (to a certain extent). Normally with the trucks we will put about 100K - 150K on them and then we turn them over to our work crews (commercial roofing). With the Vibe, I will drive it until its starts giving me problems then we'll just give it to one of our guys as ...

4 or 5 Speed Automatic?

Okay, I've been reading a bunch of posts of here and some are saying the '09 has a 4 speed automatic. My car has the sequential shifter nad has 5 speeds as indicated on the dash, 1-2-3-4-5. If I leave it in drive (D) it shifts normally. If I slap the shifter to the left it downshifts into 4 (from 5t...

Radio is Volume Knob is Broke and has Poor Rear Visibility

My company got me a '09 Vibe as a company car. I get a gas card too! I had a '07 Chevy Crew Cab pickup but when gas prices went up last year they got me this Vibe. I just found this forum as I wanted to start palying around the the car a little bit. I just sold my C5 Vette so now this Vibe has to be...
