Hello Forum,
I've had the Vibe for a month. Love the car but not the quirks.
I'm worried about the wiring...some problems I've had appear to have occasional threads in the forum such as dash lights intermittently on and off. This I can live with.
The more difficult problem occurs when windshield wipers are turned on. Speedometer stops working (won't move from zero) and the transmission stops shifting (appears to be stuck in a low gear). The break light in the instrument cluster goes on.
If the car is stopped and turned off, things seem to reset and work OK when started again.
The Vibe appears to be in good shape. I'm probably the 4th or 5th owner and I'm told the engine was replaced somewhere along the way. Odometer says 163000, but no one seems to know for sure.
I'm wondering if there's some best way of trying to figure out what's going on and determine a possible fix. There are no engine codes either in the normal driving situation or when the car is not shifting.
Thanks for any thoughts
