Thanks for the service report. Where did you get it? I have been trying searches without any results online. We have to give Pontiac /GM/ Toyota a copy of this discussion for their review. What is a PI? or PIC number?

Once the cap is pushed into the bore the tabs flex a little and sound like the tabs need to be a few mm wider/longer or whatever to stop this. The design needs to be improved to preven...

The steel (iron)disk rotor is what is getting hot then the heat is being transfered to the Aluminum wheel like a heat sink. I am also thinking that the center hole is enlarging do to the aluminum expanding. However the plastic cap is not expanding but maybe the thin metal cover is and is pushing aga...

Yes, I would agree in most cases. However, in the Vibe's wheel hole, it is a dome shape (bell shape) sealed air pocket. The cap fits tight in the circle and is just pushed into place. clip tabs whole it in place. The brake friction has to heat the metal mass up raising the air temperature in the dom...

As most of you may know, new owners of the 2009 Vibe with the Aluminum wheel are losing the center Pontiac cap. Well now I am one of them. Only 370 miles on the car. I lost the rear driver side. I just took the last three off with a screw driver. My are made in Italy. I noticed on the inside that ea...

The dealer showed me a small bag with the clips attached to the corner of the removable floor mat. Look under the mat. You may have knock it off. For the driver side only. However, I do not have the GT interior.

I had my '09 Vibe with the 2.4L and automatic for over a month now. The dealer gave me a full tank of gas. I was doing almost all stop and go local driving...sometimes with the AC on. I let the tank go down until the low fuel light came on. I started with only 2 miles and went 209 miles. I filled it...

Thanks for the information. The new model (which I now own) has a 42 inch clear width and 44 inches diagonally. I thought the older one had a bigger opening. I was hoping for a larger opening in the 2009. I wanted a clear hatch opening to fit a 48 inch plywood in it.... 4x4 foot sheet size but also ...

I want to thank you for your thoughts about my new car. Since no one so far has answered my request about the dimensions of rear hatch opening, could your please do so, thank you. I would like to know the widest clear horizontal width and the widest diagonal clear width of the rear opening ( between...

I want to thank all of you for your interest. I ordered basic the silver vibe color. I wanted the roof rack and the Alum. wheels. Being that the roof rack only comes in a alum finish, the silver will blend it in. In order to get the rack and the alum wheels, you must order the 2.4L engine. as far as...

I am new to this forum, but was reading it daily for about a year. I was considering buying a Vibe for about two years but held off until the redesign. I was not happy with the 2006-2008 front nose job. However I like the 2009 front grill alot but I like the old rear hatch door. But I needed a new c...
