Re: 2005 Moon Roof Leaks

Thanks Jolt for the advice. I'm a little nervous about pulling down the interior trim and headliner, so I'm going to have to think about what I'm doing next! coppens1, you need to find the exact spot where the water is coming into the cars interior. The only way that you will be able to do that is t...

2005 VIbe water leak

After reading all of these posts about water leaks in the VIbe (mine is a 2005 with 223,000 miles), I have not seen a solution to finding my leak. Yes, we did test the moonroof drains to make sure they were draining and they were. After finding water leaking into my moonroof, and talking to business...

Re: 2005 Moon Roof Leaks

Hello, Thanks for your response zbyers. Since I last posted about this I've noticed that I have water coming in the front center of the moonroof when it leaks, on the passenger side in the center of the moon roof and the entire length of the back of the moon roof. My front passenger seat and floor g...

2005 Moon Roof Leaks

Hi. I have two water leak issues from the moon roof. My car has over 200K miles. I have water leaking down my A-pillars from the moon roof. My moon roof leaks from the two rear corners where the gasket meets the metal roof. I checked the front drain tubes, flushed them and they drain fine, but water...

Re: Towing car from Boston to LA

Well, I know I was thinking the same thing. Not sure if he thinks I'll be driving over all kinds of potholes or bad roads. I'm going to ask for a better explanation of what he said.

Towing car from Boston to LA

Hello. I'm planning on moving from Boston to Los Angeles soon and a mechanic I talked to told me that if I tow my car on a tow dolly behind our moving truck it will cause some suspension issues on the car. He didn't go into detail but he suggested shipping my car or putting it on a vehicle trailer a...

Re: Exhaust system 2005 Pontiac Vibe

Thank you for your feedback. It is a front wheel drive and we did take it to an exhaust stop and they are going to put a new cat in and weld the areas on the pipe where there are a few small holes. The exhaust system as a whole is pretty solid. Said it would cost about $575.

Hi, I have the original exhaust system. Had loud noise and brought to a local garage. They said there's a hole in the catalytic converter and it needs to be replaced. They say they can only get a factory catalytic converter that costs $1,200. I saw aftermarket catalytic converters online much cheape...

Re: 2005 Pontiac Vibe Door Locks Problem

Thanks a lot guys! I agree that it is probably from lack of use. My car is 15 now and has 218,000 miles on it. I hope I can get a new key cut because it still runs great! I have not used my keys as much and have relied more on my remote. I will see if I can get a new key cut with my VIN number. MY e...

Engine noise that sounds like my valves have an issue

Wondering if anyone can give me an idea of what they think a noise might be under my hood. My car is a 2005 Pontiac vibe with 213,000 miles on it. Some of the parts are still original. Can't remember the last time my spark plugs were changed. Problem the other day I noticed, when I got in the car in...

Re: Problem with oil filter on 2005 Pontiac Vibe (djkeev)

Thank you both for your great information and research. I had a feeling it might be the wrong oil filter. If I pursue legal action against this place, I will certainly not take it back there to have an engine put in, like you said, if they can't even put the correct oil filter on right!Thanks for al...

Re: Problem with oil filter on 2005 Pontiac Vibe (Ivibe)

Re: (djkeev)

I looked on the web site for the oil filter that was supposed to be installed in my car, and it looks like it should be #61396? The filter that was installed in my car was a Parts Master oil filter #61356.Sounds to me like the wrong filter, could he have mixed up the numbers 61356 and 61396. Any fee...

There was no trail of oil coming into the parking space, and no sign of problem on my dashboard. There was a huge puddle of oil and the tracks from my parking space after the oil came out. There are security cameras supposedly that pointed in the direction of my car, but I havent seen footage yet. C...

Re: (455SD)

Does anyone know if this vehicle has an automatic engine shutdown feature if oil pressure gets too low? From what I've heard some vehicles have this feature now.I called the dealership where I bought my car and they said they couldn't tell me that, even if I gave them a VIN #.

Has anyone had a problem with oil filters coming off of their Vibe? My 2005 Pontiac Vibe's oil filter mysteriously came off and all the oil drained out of my car. I did not hit anything before hand. I had an oil change done previously 2 months before.I'm wondering if it's possible the last mechanic ...
