Re: Vibe Recall

Hi all-
This same problem with the airbag light began happening to my Vibe just a few weeks ago. It is an 05 though. Anyone know if that can somehow be covered under the recall? All I can find is 09-10. The exact same thing is happening to me and my mechanic said that this is the issue.

Re: Looking to Buy a Vibe...

Ahhh 09SnowyVibe I'm awful with conversions but I'll try to figure that out! I must say I filled up again yesterday and this tank was just a tad short of 28 mpg--that I can handle! Almost all highway that tank, but still. I'm guessing we do have winterized fuel and thinking our terrible terrible tem...

Re: Looking to Buy a Vibe...

I carfaxed it prior to getting it and took it to my mechanic-said all is well. The thing about people raving about it was that the couple that had it lived in the mountains and they even were saying how great it is. I realize combined is 25 mpg, but I do primarily highway driving and I am getting lo...

Re: Looking to Buy a Vibe...

Yeah, I buckled the belt today. Just was hoping there was a normal solution I hadn't figured out yet :) I did find an AWD. Got really lucky actually... A couple who used to live in Madison and had moved out to Colorado were coming back here for the holidays to visit family. They were originally goin...

Re: Looking to Buy a Vibe...

Well I found one and got it! Love it so far but I cannot figure out how to turn the passenger seatbelt sensor off and it's driving me nuts when my dog sits in the front!

Re: Selt belt buzzer

Sorry to bring up a very old thread, but does anyone know how to solve this without pulling wires? It does it when my dog sits in the front seat and is sooo annoying!

Re: Looking to Buy a Vibe...

JerBear I am in Reedsburg! What are the chances of that? :) I drive a lot for work so would really just prefer AWD for those days I have to make trips that I have no choice but to make. Im trying to stick with a first gen but Ill take a look at that 09. I really need to find one soon but all of them...

Re: Looking to Buy a Vibe...

Sorry guys, I'm back. The Vibe I'd mentioned before is out of the picture since the dealer is not willing to go below 10,400. Now I have located another one. It is a 2003 AWD with 73k miles on it. However, they are asking 8,995! KBB and Edmunds TMV puts it around 6500. I spoke to one sales rep today...

Re: Looking to Buy a Vibe...

Mechanic said it checked out good, with the exception of a few very minor things. He thinks the ABS is just a lot more sensitive than my other cars :/ However when I was driving it back to the dealer, I purposely made them go off--I did not notice a light. Should there be one when the ABS is working...

Re: Looking to Buy a Vibe...

I didnt buy it yet no, having mechanic check it out today. I didnt notice a light just what felt like ABS on my other cars. I may have just not noticed the light too since I was so shocked! We have snow, but nothing crazy...

Re: Looking to Buy a Vibe...

Just dropped it off at the mechanic, we will see what they say. I had about a 30 minute drive from the dealer to the mechanic and went very smoothly. When I got into town, however, the ABS (didn't see a light? but am guessing) came on twice, once when I was coming to a stop light and a second time w...

Re: Looking to Buy a Vibe...

KBB states roughly 8-9k... I definitely feel it is too high and am really, really hoping to get it for a much lower amount. I am torn about what to offer them. I've done quite the searching but AWDs are scarce and most all that are within a reasonable distance to look at are much higher mileage ones...

Re: Looking to Buy a Vibe...

Thank you, I am interested to see what the mechanic says. I'm also curious if anyone has bought a vehicle from a different state/without seeing it ever? :shock:

Looking to Buy a Vibe...

Hi everyone, I am new to the site. I am looking for a 1st gen AWD Vibe. One that I have found locally is a 2006 with 78k miles. I went and test drove it and loved it. A few things are wrong with it, the heat only works on highest setting, back bumper paint is not glossy like the rest as it has 1 acc...
