Interesting. I'm having the same problem on mine. 2004 stock. The problem came on one day when the temp was really cold out. Mechanic replaced the 02 sensor..and the CEL light went away only to return 2 weeks later. I wonder if it is in the o-ring gasket as Jasonvibe mentioned. Cory..did you ever fi...

Kamikaze: I had the same problem on my vibe for the longest time. Finally changed the rotors and it turned out to be the rotors. No...my rotors weren't warped (i.e. steering didn't shake when i brake). What it was is that my rotors was rusted to the hub. So..when i change my rotors, the problem went...

Great Deal. When I bought it for my wife last year (May08), the 09 model w/ the 2.4L (1SC package), 5Spd Auto cost us $22720 out the door. Ours didn't have any roof rack or cargo cover.I used a 1 time $2000 off GM discount that i had as an employee + employee pricing + some GM Visa card points. No o...

04BlkVibe

hi..just wondering how the brakes are working out for you?Thanks.

04BlkVibe

thanks. keep me posted. $29 seems a little cheap for rotors...no?

04BlkVibe

Haven't replaced my rotors yet..so i'm not sure. though..i'm quite interested..'cuz i think it's due..and i've got 150kms

04BlkVibe

Just checked. 09 vibes are eligible for the 5 yr no charge maintenance or instead..you can opt for the $750 off.

04BlkVibe

Markham..and still around.

04BlkVibe

I tried it on my wife's 09 Vibe w/ a bunch of different MP3 and it doesn't work. has anyone else tried this?

04BlkVibe

Are you sure? I thought only the Matrix radios can play MP3 (but they don't have the plug in). The Vibe ones has the MP3 plugin which can't play MP3 disc. The upgraded radios actually says MP3 on it.

04BlkVibe

when it comes in..take a picture of it. Would be interested in seeing what it looks like and whether i should get one for my wife's car.Have you found a rust proof place yet? I used FX Auto on my 04. Haven't done it yet on my 09.

04BlkVibe

Found one center cap from my wife's 09 Vibe on the garage floor. not sure if anyone else is having the same problem. I was able to put it back on, but even then, still appears to be loose to the touch. I have the 17" Alloy wheel.

04BlkVibe

Congrats! I just picked up my wife's new Vibe yesterday as well. We decided to go w/ the base Vibe w/ the 2.4L, in dark blue.

04BlkVibe

Any chance of taking a photo of the cargo cover?

04BlkVibe

Great Pics! I had wanted to come...but unfortunately got tied up!

04BlkVibe

Has anyone ordered from Pam's Auto before? Any feedback?

04BlkVibe

Hey..just curious. did you get this fixed? What was the problem? Tire Balance?

04BlkVibe

I read in the owner's manual that it is recommended for a valve clearance/timing adjustment at 50,000km and at 100,000km. Has anyone here actually done that and would you know how much that would cost?Thanks.

04BlkVibe

Thanks. I don't recall seeing anything. Perhaps i'll take some pictures tomorrow.

04BlkVibe

Alright,..I know there is postings out there about coolant loss. I was wondering if anyone on this site actually kept a good eye on it. Would you know what's a reasonable amount of coolant loss?

04BlkVibe

You can get some pretty good prices from tires23.com in missauga and some ok prices from tire3000 in markham. For rims, I'll check out matrixowners.com to see if there is any good used rims. That's where I got my 17" matrix rims.

04BlkVibe

Nice! Congrats and welcome to the family.

04BlkVibe

What is the heater blower fan noise? what did they do to fix it? Squeaky clutch? I had that. Sprayed WD40. fixed it.

04BlkVibe

Just gotta watch the dealer's admin fee. when i shopped around..every dealer seems to have a different admin fee. Ask them about it.

04BlkVibe

Definately not the 2008 Vibe. The 08 Vibe looks much nicer.

04BlkVibe

Yep...brought it into the dealer today. It was definately the resistor.Replaced...and it works fine now.

04BlkVibe

Awesome! Thanks for the link. Reading it, I'm sure it's the same deal.

04BlkVibe

Started my car, it was cold (-15C) last night, so i turned on my car heater fan to high. Once the car is warmed up, I turned it down a notch...except the fan completely stopped blowing. Seems like I only have the high setting. Not sure what might be wrong w/ it. Any clues?1. If it is the blower moto...

04BlkVibe

i know what you mean about hard to point to the dealer. Best option is to watch the temperature ..and then bring it in then. Ask for the shop foreman to go for a test drive w/ you. That's what I have been doing and managed to get them to hear it.Mine happens only when it's on front defrost and winds...

04BlkVibe

I know what you're talking about with respect to your heater fan problems. I have the same problem. Had my TXV valve replaced by the dealer just over the christmas. It's still making the noise. Which part of Toronto are you from? I took mine to Richmond Hill Pontiac.The problem only happens when the...

I have a set of 16" 5 x 100 Steel Rims. Perfect for the upcoming winter months. PM me.Location: MarkhamAsking: $130 OBO.

04BlkVibe

yae...another markham member. what car do you have??? Vibe/Matrix? got pics?

04BlkVibe

When you said it was the wheel bearings..what pointed you to the wheel bearings? Was it making any noise? I heard/read that wheel bearing defects tend to make noise. I'm at 80000km (which is close to your 50000mile)..and i still have a vibration on mine. Let me know will ya? Thanks.

04BlkVibe

Mark...is your Vibe still vibrating?

04BlkVibe

What was the cause of your vibration issue?

04BlkVibe

I had the same problem w/ my Vibe. Steering Vibration that just wouldn't go away. Took mine to Richmond Hill, Mills Pontiac (Oshawa) and Gus Brown (Whitby). Finally settled w/ Gus Brown (it was close to work).I bought my car from Unionville, but i wasn't entirely satisfied w/ their service. Richmond...

My regular (all seasons) vibrate as well at 120km/h. Took it to the dealer and they said that it's the tires. Did a road force variation...and it still vibrated. Finally said ..screw it and took my mom's vibe in w/ steel rims and exchanged my aluminum wheels w/ hers. The vibration has significantly ...

04BlkVibe

I've had a lot of issues w/ my Vibe..especially the tire shimmy problem. I have had the tire/balanced 3 times,...with the most expensive one being a Road Force Balance and diagnosis at around $250 cdn. They have checked the rims and didn't notice anything wrong with it and they believe that the shim...

Nice...i didn't think that they still have 0% financing right now. Is that for 36 months?Congrats on the new car. Post some pics as you start modding it.

Thanks for all the insightful info. My Vibe w/ the winters was vibrating pretty bad through the steering wheel at high speed (120km/h). Went to the tire shop..told them the problem...and they re-balanced the front tires. After the re-balance...it is still vibrating. From some advice from people from...

Finally went w/ the Amsoil. Tried the SF fluid in mine. Worked pretty rough (hard to get into 2nd and 3rd) everytime after a cold start. Amsoil is much better...still a little hard to shift into 3rd, but not as bad as w/ the SF. When the engine is warm,...it shifts really nice. Definately will recom...

Help...i'm not sure what's wrong..but ever since I put on my winter tires, i've noticed a slight vibration at high speeds ...and I also suspect my vehicle pulls to the left (a little...)..and it pulls more depending on which lane i'm on on the highway. I've got the front tires re-balanced today...an...
