It did need to be replaced but wasn't in danger of breaking like they told me . Anyway one less thing to worry about ...

Re: Vibe in need of repairs

Thank you ! I will have someone help me with the fluid because I don't know what I'm doing . Also when I said probably get the belt fixed I meant probably next paycheck . My car payment and insurance bill have to be paid with it and just depends on how much I have left . If not, then it will definit...

Re: Vibe in need of repairs

I will get the belt replaced next paycheck probably. That's another two weeks though . Brakes I will worry about last . I know very little about cars , this is my first one . I did check transmission fluid while it was off , so maybe not an accurate way to judge . It was over the line and the fluid ...

Vibe in need of repairs

Okay so I bought my car from a used dealer in May. Car drives fine. There's a little whine in the brakes and I find myself slipping in heavy rains sometimes. So today I was finally able to take it to a mechanic, though I only took it for an oil change and free tire rotation. They would not do a rota...

Re: Code p0741?

Thanks BustedVibe, I'll definitely check that tomorrow when I get off work. Maybe it is something simple like that, I sure hope so . Just took all the money I had to get the car and probably to continue keeping the car , haha. I mean I can eventually afford some repairs but nothing like a new transm...

Re: Code p0741?

Hi Chiadog. I have not checked the fluid level and honestly not sure how. I know next to nothing about cars. I'm 27 and this is my first car. I actually just got my license about a month ago. I was planning on taking it to a mechanic once I get my paycheck this week and having it looked over.The car...

Re: Code p0741?

Thanks busted . I looked back at past posts myself . The link you sent that person said something came loose when he hit a bump. I probably wont know anything for sure until I can get it looked at. Just having the CEL on bothers me though . It drives fine from what I can tell . I haven't had any iss...

Re: Code p0741?

I bought it from a small car dealership . He didn't say anything was wrong with it . I'm not sure if anything is either , just the check engine light . I'm hoping it something small that needs fixing

Re: Thestorm- '05 Vibe Base

Busted: I don't feel like I got anywhere near 300 . I'd be surprised if I even went 75-100 Miles in the last week. I haven't been on the interstate and I live in a good size town so it has been all stop and go driving. Also it was the first time I had a car so there were several times I just sat in ...

Re: Thestorm- '05 Vibe Base

Oh okay , I probably won't bother with it then . I want a new radio eventually . One of the lights is out in mine and I'd like something I can hook my iPhone up to . But that will be a future project too . My uncle said he has trouble seeing the dark red in the instrument panel at night but it doesn...

Busted: It's possible to change to the color of the led lights on the instrument panel? I wouldn't mind looking into that for a future mod . NY: Mine seems to be driving fine . The engine light hasn't come back on yet, but it could. I'll keep an eye out for it. Definitely will have the car looked ov...

Re: Thestorm- '05 Vibe Baseh

I'm waiting to see if the engine light returns . I let my uncle drive it today and he said its shifting fine. It was only when I really gassed it that I noticed a small kick in the car. So hopefully if anything is wrong it's something small. Uncle isn't a mechanic but he has some vehicle knowledge a...

Hi, my name is Joshua and I just bought a 2005 Pontiac vibe last Thursday, so I've only had it about a week .
