Just finished the caliper replacement. Identical part, rebuilt from OEM, which even had matching numbers and stamps with the one I removed. I was surprised at how tight I had to make the bolt connecting the brake line to caliper before it would stop weeping. Given the warnings about not overtighteni...

I know this is a month old but just to help in case it's still an issue you could put the old resistor pack back in and see if the blower again runs on high. This would at least diagnose a faulty new resistor set in case that's the issue. If not it sounds like there's an electrical connection issue....

In the spring I discovered my rear brake pads (2.4L, 4 wheel disc brakes) were worn out, mostly on the passenger side. At the same time I noticed the parking brake was staying on for the passenger side. The cable was retracting fine but the return arm at the caliper wasn't sliding back. I changed th...

I called my local dealership yesterday after receiving the above message from Transport Canada and the sevice dept. looked up the GM Canada recall number without luck.

The simple diagosistic process, worked out by the ori...

I'm getting the run around from GM Canada about this recall. Transport Canada lists a recall notice as of April 22nd, 2014 but calling today I'm told by one of GM's "ambassadors" that no recall has been issued by GM. Since my airbag light came on this week I feel the squeeze of being trapp...

A few days ago my dashboard airbag light in my 2009 Vibe came on. GM Canada claims to know nothing about any recall related to this issue. Or at least the "ambassador" (as the talking heads at GM Customer Care Canada are called) said that so far there is no GM recall notice. When I told hi...
