I have a 2005 vibe with 50,000 miles on it and the same thing happened to me last week! It's a conspiracy!!! I was just below half a tank, filled up and it went away. Drove it for a week and at around the same place on the gas gauge it's back on.For now I'm going to drive it until the tank is empty ...

Well I almost always shut off AC and fan before shutting off the car. I don't use AC or fan in the morning either.I lifted the hood this morning and sniffed around. The smell didn't seem to be near the rad but near the engine block proper. I'd like to say it was close to the alternator, but can't sa...

Greetings Vibers,Twice in the last week I've noticed an electrical type smell coming from my vents while driving to work in the morning. When I go home at night I never have smelt anything.Temperature gauge seems ok and everything seems ok, but ever since I had a lamp burst into flames years ago tha...

Hello Fellow Ottawa Vibers...I work in Ottawa and live in Aylmer. I want to get windows tinted, but want to make sure I'm legal in Ontario and Quebec. Anyone know anything about this?Thanks in advance!

Hello all, just a quick question...Bad snow storm this morning in Ottawa, Canada. So my wife is pulling into the garage at work very slowly while the front wheels are spinning just a little. I'm standing beside the car while she's driving and notice that the rear driver's side wheel is dragging whil...

Quote, originally posted by sloth »There should be a knob on the left side of the seat for tilting the base of the seat (not the back) forward or backward. Hmmm... I'll have to investigate. I'd never be able to live it down if my wife knew something about our Vibe that I didn't!

Hi all... I've done a couple of searches and haven't been able to find anyone having this problem.My wife is signifigantly shorter than I am so we both sit at different heights when driving. I've noticed lately that even when I was the last one driving and jump into the driver's seat the next mornin...

Cool... thanks for the help!

Also does anyone know how to remove the cover that's under the hood without totally destroying it?

Hi All,I recently got my hood re-painted because of some chips that were present. Anyways, when I got it back my spray didn't work in the front, but was fine in the back.I opened the hood and found where the hose might be getting kinked/pinched and now it kinda works, but definately not like before....

Hi all... I Just got my Vibe back from dealer after getting the hood redone. When I got it originally I noticed a lot of chips, so dealer agreed to fix them. My question is how long should I wait before I wax it? I believe it was just the clear coat that was redone. (and yes I searched...)On a side ...

Yeah... i'm dumb. I read the rest after posting. I have a mono. I found out about the bumper protector too after I ordered.Thanks!

(removed)?? I got my Vibe about a month ago and ordered the all season matts, cargo matt, bumper protector and splash guards. Never mentioned a problem about the splash guards, they're listed under vibe accesories at gmcanada.com.

My Abyss is only 1 month old an I have chips on the hood. Actually noticed most when I picked it up, dealer is going to paint the hood for me, but I've noticed a few other spots elsewhere...

I've been having this problem too... very intermittent. I've got about 2500KM on a 05 base Vibe. Haven't been able to find a pattern yet, although I don't think it's ever happened from a cold start, usually after been off for 1/2 hour. Kinda annoying when you're showing your friends you new car. &qu...

Can you pls email me PDF too if you still have it? Thx!

Ah, well that explains that... thanks for the help and quick answer everyone!!!

Hi all... new user/new buyer here.I just got my Vibe last night and noticed on the drive home that my automatic transmission seems to downshift like you would in a standard. Is this normal? Kinda freaked me out at the first red light, as I was almost stopped I saw the RPM gauge go up and heard the e...
