Re: 2009 Vibe Steering Rattle

I have been dealing with this for the past few months (I bought the car about 4 months ago, at 29k miles).. It's driving me insane.. I brought it in, and they found a worn sway bar linkage, which I found odd at such low milage but I let them replace it. Of course the rattle is still there, and its g...

09 2.4l 5s auto transmission behavior????

Hey all, I just bought myself a nice 09 Vibe with very low mileage (29k), and while I love the car very much , I'm trying to get a feel for the way the transmission does its job. I've noticed that it feels a bit hard when it shifts and it can shift very abruptly/wildly all over the place. I'm wonder...

Re: New member, 09 Vibe 2.4l

Welcome! That is a sharp looking Vibe! As for the wheels, the documentation says that the chrome wheels were on the AWD models and the 5 spoke brushed wheels were for the FWD cars, but I can say for a fact I've seen both wheels on the FWD cars enough times that they must have come from the factory ...

Re: New member, 09 Vibe 2.4l

Hi tpollauf, Yeah - Clean title, single owner, bought from a dealership - they had it at 12,000$ , I got them to go below 10k$ plus a 3 year extended warranty. I was completely surprised by the low mileage, whomever owned it took care of it and I think they just didnt have very far to drive or somet...
