Oh, and it's discontinued by GM, too. You can get it from Toyota dealers to the tune of around $200 and some change.
Just curious who paid for the dealerships negligence? With my Vibe still sitting at a very low 28k miles AND the fact that there is rarely anyone in the passenger seat, I'm reluctant to have the recall done. I just know they'll destroy the dash and not give a (removed) because it's not their car! Plus they get these young pups who are paid the least to perform the surgery. No thanks ... I'll pass for now
Tim, the techs doing the recalls actually have to get certified to do it. Zane was mentioning that to me. And after doing probably 10 of them, they get to know the procedure well. We have taken in all 7 of our Vibes, plus my brother's Corolla. None of us have had any sort of fitment issue or broken parts. Of course, every dealer [and tech] is different.
I'm sure you'd be diligent and take many before pictures, especially on the second gen since much of the dash gets disassembled.
When you're back in this area, if you're worried run to Jones Chevrolet down in Starbrick, PA where we had ours done. The guys there were pretty good about it.
