Trade In Time?

I have a 2009 GT with 104k miles on it. I got it 3.5 years ago and put approximately 20k on it per year. I'm wondering if it's time to part ways while it still has some resale value? It's my second Vibe so I wouldn't mind something different. I was disappointed to see the resale value wasn't that gr...

Re: VSC flashing, Check Engine & Traction Control

Last night while driving my Check Engine, VCS Off, and Traction Control lights all went on. The car was running fine. This morning I couldn't get half a mile from home when the car *just wouldn't move*! The engine runs, but the car barely crawls down the road. Luckily I was close enough to home to l...

Re: Unintended Acceleration?

Used in 2012 from a GM dealer, so he *probably* did any recalls prior to March 2012.

I guess I can check with them about any subsequent recalls, but I would think they would have let me know of any new ones.

Re: Unintended Acceleration?

What's weird is I never got a recall notice on my 09. I only got one to replace a seat belt part on my 03.

Re: Unintended Acceleration?

I *think* I got involved when I signed a notice I got in the mail, agreeing to be part of the lawsuit. I didn't think it would ever amount to anything. I guess it amounted to $29 for me! Yes, the check says by cashing I agree to section VI of the agreement whereinforth I release Toyota, their dealer...

Unintended Acceleration?

Has anyone experienced, or has heard of affecting the Vibe, the unintended acceleration that occurred in Toyotas? I just received a check ($29) for the settlement in the class action lawsuit.
I haven't experienced this in either my '03 base Vibe or my '09 GT.

VSC Warning Light

My VSC light (car with squiggles under it) and the VCS OFF lights have come on for no apparent reason, and stay on now. I have pressed the VSC OFF button repeatedly to no avail. A couple days before I was taking a hard corner and the VSC light flashed and beeped, but then went out. 2 days later they...

Re: Steel Wheels For Vibe?

Thanks guys. I will try looking at Camry rims to start. My local bone yards can't find anything for the 2.4l Vibe/Matrix. What I've seen online is around $140. Except I see the multi fit for $65 each.

I will try the car-part site.

Thanks for the lug tip!

Re: Steel Wheels For Vibe?

Has anyone tried the multi fit wheels? Apparently they have elongated holes to accomodate both 100mm & 115mm.
Elongated holes does not reassure me.

The Matrix rims seem to be as expensive as the Vibe GT ($139 each)

Re: Interchangeable Rims?

Thank you very much guys! I will start with carpart.com. I just bought two new snow tires. I want to mount them on their own rims so I can just swap the wheels rather then the tires. I did this a couple years ago and had no trouble getting steel rims locally for $50 each. Now I can't find them. But ...

Interchangeable Rims?

I am trying to find a pair of steel rims for my 03 Vibe, but they're either impossible to find or too expensive.

I know Matrix rims are the same, but I thought someone said Corolla rims can be used too.

Does anyone know anything about this?
