Re: Traction control.....

Thanks Ill try that. I have the 6spd, there is a button beside the hatch release with a weird picture on it. I havent seen any lights on the dash come on when Ive driven in snow to indicate its on or slipping.

Rear washer fluid

Is there a separate reservoir for the rear, I can hear the pump but nothing happens so either the line is plugged or there is another res somewhere.

Sunroof Noise

I can hear a air leak when Im doing highway speeds so much so that I have to close the cover to drown it out. Has anyone had this problem before. Its not leaking any water at least that I can see.

Re: Starter

So would it be safe to say that the corolla would have the same starter.

Re: Rear end kick out.....

Tires are 2 seasons old and they are Nokian. Ive been testing out some cornering and I come to the conclusion that it is the tires, I can feel the side roll on them and it doesnt take much to break them loose, I just hope they do their job in the cold weather.

Re: Rear end kick out.....

That is a possibility but the car does feel unstable at times. The car is new to me, only had it a week. On the hwy it feels kind of twitchy, meaning big trucks and wind blow me around. I did notice alot of weights on a couple of the wheels.

Rear end kick out.....

So im driving to work this morning and was going around this 90 degree sweeper turn and the rear end breaks loose and slides out, the road was wet but not overly and I wasnt going fast at all. I have snow tires on the car that were just recently put on so I was pretty surprised that it happened. Thi...

Re: 06 GT Questions......

Thanks for the Welcoming, I will post some pics soon although there isnt anything to make it stand out yet.... I am coming from a 2004 Jetta GLS which had every available option to the Vibe which is a little bit of an adjustment for me, I guess you could say I was a little spoiled with the VW. So I ...

06 GT Questions......

Just picked up a 2006 Vibe GT and have a few questions. The power doesnt stay on after the car is turned off, like the radio stays on untill the door is opened. Is that even an option with this car. I should mention that there is a after market radio installed. The door locks dont lock once I start ...
