The worst thing Detroit could do is win game 1, they just woke up the giant. Remember the final with Philly a few years ago.

I took it to the dealer yesterday and they said no problem it is covered by warranty and they would give me a replacement vehicle while they fixed it. I was a little shocked, I didn't even have to put up a fight.

vibenorth

I've just found 2 areas of rust. Both are under rubber seals. One is on the rear drivers side door sill (see photo) and the other is the rear hatch window. Two questions, who else is having this problem and can I expect the dealer to fix this(re: warranty)? My Vibe is almost 2 years old. Attached fi...

But what if their plan was to get married for a few months then split the money

vibenorth

I remember from earlier shows that there is a rule on Survivor that 2 people are not allowed to make an alliance in order to get to the final 2 and then split the million? Isn't that what basically just happened?

vibenorth

Just want to get any feedback from users of this site.

I asked about this before but I couldn't find the thread. Two friends of mine both had their fuel pumps fail within 2 weeks of each other on their 2000 cavalier and 2000 sunfire. I know there is a site for these unfortunate owners but I can't find it. If you have any additional info on this problem,...

Oh god yes I'm glad he's gone. Everything he did was to benefit himself or his friends. The amount of government waste under his reign was unbelievable and nobody was ever accountable. My blood is boiling just thinking about it. The new PM is more of a moderate conservative, but he's still a politit...

Call a lawyer immediately. These things can get messy!!!

vibenorth

I am also a hardcore Cowboys fan but I can still be objective about them. Michael Irvin is an idiot and was an average receiver at best after they won their second Bowl. Emmitt Smith was never a great running back but he could find the holes and hang on to the ball. I don't think any knowledgable Co...

I traded in my first new car, a 1990 Honda Civic hatchback(284,000km). What a great car. I only had to replace a thermostat in 12 years! It still ran great, just needed more room for the kids.

vibenorth

How are the clips removed?

vibenorth

I changed my oil the other day and thought I'd take a look at the spark plugs, and realized I wasn't sure how to get to them. I couldn't find any info in the manual.

vibenorth

Where can I get the best price for an air filter in Canada . So far Toyota dealer $21.45, GM $26,

vibenorth

I just wanted to add my 2 cents. I use a pair of those rubber dishwashing gloves to loosen and tighten the oil filter. The rubber gives great gripping power especially when your hands are in an awkward position.

vibenorth

I'm not sure if this is related to your problem but check it out.http://www.safetyalerts.com/recall/a/02/v00138.htm

vibenorth

I changed my own oil for the first time on the Vibe and it was a good experience. The oil filter is easy to get at (unlike most cars) and unscrews vertically which is good because when you unscrew it the oil drips straight down. My other cars have been mounted horizontally and when you unscrew them ...

How long is the response time for the Roadside Assistance program?

vibenorth

Actually the second time I used it was much easier. I guess the threads weren't fully greased the first time.

vibenorth

I had to put on the spare yesterday and found the jack very hard to crank up the car. I had to push very hard just to crank it half a turn at a time. I would say it was twice as hard as any other one I've used. I think the handle is a poor design, it doesn't allow you to get maximum leverage at the ...

There is a Pro American rally planned in Toronto today.

In case the message isn't getting across the border, most Canadians support the U.S. Our Prime Minister is dispised by many of us and there are a few left wing nuts in his party who bad mouth the States but they don't represent many of us. After 911 there were a lot of Canadians who went to New York...

Does anyone know of a site to get info on a 2000 Cavalier regarding problems other owners are having with there car? I do not own one thank god.

vibenorth

I hope everyone who is unhappy with these tires has complained to GM. It may not help us but future owners may benefit. I just read today that GM has hired a Toyota Exec. to help increase quality so they must care a little.

vibenorth

These tires are crap. No traction what so ever.

vibenorth

I had an even more unnerving experience. I had some new bar stools in boxes in the back. While I quickly grabbed some groceries I started thinking that I hadn't locked(manual) the back hatch. As I approached the back of my Vibe my heartbeat triples as I see folded down seats with nothing on them. My...

vibenorth

I have a base 5spd.

vibenorth

From time to time shifting becomes a bit of a struggle. For example, if I'm going from 2nd to 3rd, I have to push up once to get out of 2nd then give an extra push to get it into 3rd. Is anyone else experiencing this?

vibenorth

What is the recommended milage between oil changes using synthetic oil? I've been going 10,000 km (6200 miles).

vibenorth

I've noticed a ticking noise when I listen to engine idling. I don't know if this is what it's supposed to sound like with this type of engine. I was expecting a smoother sounding engine. I have put on 6800 miles.

vibenorth

I like the higher seating position. Very comfortable and a better view of the road.

vibenorth

Has anyone experienced a musty smell from the air vents. It seems to occur after using the air conditioning, even the next day. My 97 corrola has the same problem.

vibenorth

I'm not sure why I spelled peel with a "A". I've noticed a lot of poor spelling on this site, maybe it's contagious. Achooo!!!

vibenorth

I pealed mine off yesterday. No residue, no problem. I feel cleaner already.

vibenorth

I ended up buying a pick-up stotage container that normally would sit on the cab of a pick-up truck. Other containers seemed to big. You can't use the existing straps so I intend to secure it to the roof rack with metal ring clamps. I'll post a photo when it's done. I think it actually doesn't look ...

vibenorth

Hey Salsa, I was able to get the "in stock" discount and still order my vehicle. It worked out to be about 5%. I was told they weren't offering the "factory order" discount which is closer to 10%.

vibenorth

I heard this tip from a car washing Guru. He said hair shampoo is the best thing to use. Something to do with ph levels.

vibenorth

I felt it necessary to pay tribute to the developers of the internet. It has forced auto makers to look even closer at their quality. No longer can they claim "nobody else has had a problem with their brakes". So raise your glasses and drink to the lot of them. Cheers!

vibenorth

Sounds like fun. Tell whoever they are to make their cargo area about a foot longer than the Vibes with a quieter engine.

vibenorth

Jack, I posted the same query a couple of months ago when I got my Vibe. We are probably only 2 of a handful of people who didn't get the power package so there wasn't much help out there. I complained to GM who pointed out that the brochure stipulates that the info in it is subject to change. The d...

vibenorth

Does anyone know what the optimum air conditioning temperature is supposed to be coming out of the vents. I am getting around 46 F with the fan on high.

vibenorth

Dan, I just received my base Vibe 2 weeks ago. If you don't get the power package you can't open the liftgate or glass from inside the car. You have to use the key, even though the brochure says it is standard equipment. I also heard the interest rate is going up from 3.9 to 4.9, you should look int...

vibenorth

I don't have keyless entry and there isn't a button where it is supposed to be.

vibenorth

I just received my Vibe. It is the base model with no extras. The brochure shows remote liftglass release as standard equipment, but I don't have it. Any feedback before I go to the dealer?

vibenorth

There are now adapters that plug into your typical car power outlet and convert it to a standard 2 prong outlet. They cost between $40-60(Cdn) if you find you would like this Vibe feature in your other vehicles.

vibenorth

I understand how electicity works and it's not a goofy question because Larry had the answer I was looking for. I don't have my Vibe yet so I can't refer to the manual.

vibenorth

I'm just wondering what things people have tried to power using the standard electrical outlet? What happens if you try to draw too much power, ei; hair dryer. Can you blow a fuse?

vibenorth

To get a loaner vehicle you have to make the salesperson believe you are going to walk away from the deal. On the back of your contract it states that the dealer must deliver the vehicle to you within so many days(90 days comes to mind but I'm not sure) or you can get out of the deal. Emphasize that...

Hi, I'm Richard from London,Ontario. I should be getting my Vibe in a few weeks. It's replacing my 1990 Civic hatchback(one of the greatest cars ever built) which could fit almost anything in the back, that I had to get another hatchback style. I hope my Vibe is as reliable.I work with a lot of auto...
