Not too sure about RPS but I've seen quite a few people talk about ACT and I think their pretty respectable. Regarding the flywheel, I'm trying to keep my spending to a minimum so I've only been looking at replacing the clutch which is pretty much a must. I don't think a new flywheel is necessary un...

Well, it took awhile but I got GM to replace all four tires. The tires were at 1/32 with 14,000 miles. They are going to install new Goodyear tires. Sometimes persistence does pay off.

Re: Vibe vs. Matrix - after sales support (RoundUp)

The glass is being done by a glass shop that the insurance company sent me to but they haven't been able to find a supplier for after market glass in Canada so they have OEM glass on order with GM.

Re: Vibe vs. Matrix - after sales support (TRD4reel)

Unfortunately, the repair work is being done through my insurance company and the shop isn't willing to try the Toyota glass since it has a different part number. Apparently, I may have the GM glass by the end of the week but I'm not holding my breath.In a case like this, I think GM should be willin...

Vibe vs. Matrix - after sales support

As with many others, I purchased a Vibe as I thought I was getting the same vehicle at a lower cost. However, one thing I didn't consider was after sales support.My Vibe was broken into last week resulting in the window smashed and damage to the interior trim. Now I'm driving around without a window...

I'm not sure a about any new policy from GM ? My Vibe has 14,000 miles and all four tires are worn out but when I took it to the local GM/Pontiac dealership in Victoria, B.C. they refused to help .The Service Manager said that since all four tires were equally worn, there was nothing defective with ...

15" Rim on Vibe GT ?

I want to put 195/65-15 tires on my Vibe GT but all the tire shops are telling me that the brake calipers are too large on the GT and that I need to stick with 16" wheels.Does anyone know of a 15" steel wheel that will fit the Vibe GT ?

Re: Typical life of a hydraulic clutch? GT (pissedoffgokart)

Just purchased a used 2003 Vibe GT and am getting the burning clutch smell a couple of times per day. The car has 10,039 kilometers and the clutch seems to work fine (no slippage yet) but in reverse (backing out of parking stalls) I almost always get a severe burning smell. I haven't had any problem...
