I have a 09 vibe Gt. Yesterday my remote won’t lock doors (won’t do anything) and the dome lights don’t go On! Not even switching them on! I tried both remotes and put new battery in to but nothing! I tried a manual reset ( inserting key, open shut door etc) I’m wondering if it’s possible that I hap...

I just bought a 09 GT that has a cracked front bumper cover. Does anyone know of a video showing how to remove a GT bumper cover? I saw the post on here for a base model but the GT looks a little different.
Thanks

I have a 2005 vibe w/ the 5/100,000 mile warrenty. My rims are starting to rust (bubbling/blistering) are the rims covered under warrenty?Thanks

How can I have the vibe running with the lights off? I thought the parking brake being on would allow the lights to stay off when started, but ..nope. Therea time when I need the car running but the lights need to be off.Example: if at a campground and need to use some electric but don't want the ca...

When my 05' Vibe got about 6,000 miles it devoloped a "thumping" wheel area noise. Dealer replaced wheel bearings but it was still there. they rotated and I drove another 2,000 miles, still there. They checked and corp said some Vibes are reporting this problem so dealer put new tires on m...

I drive alot of miles (4,000 a month) and I have a new vibe. I'm considering using Mobil 1 extended protection which they claim is good for 15,000 miles between changes. This would save me from getting oil chages every month. Anyone hear of this new product?Since I drive so much, I think synth. woul...

The heater is incrediable in my vibe! I still have to get a actual reading on the temp, but if I shut the vent doors on the dash, have the fan on low the vents get so hot, if you place your fingers on it for ..say.. 60 seconds, its almost to hot to touch!Heck, if you just open one vent, its like run...

anyone have a pic of what the floor is shaped like with the rear seat taken out?I curious to see if theres ANY space at all under the rear seat. I have seen in other vehicles where they make the rear seat lift up and they have a little storage space for some tools, jumper cables, flashlight, map boo...

when you re-installed the end caps, did they fit as tight as when you took them off?Mine are not as tight. did you use the first groove in the yellow button?no what I mean?????

I put the managers name and # because from the responses I have read, some still say it shouldn't leak at all. Its not his personal # mind you, its the dealership. I am not slamming this manager, I do not know if the leak is a problem, so instead of "he said, she said" I simply put a conta...

I took my first night drive last night after adjusting the lights...... its SOOOOOO much better! Now I can see the deer before I hit them!

vibe-anator

I called the dealer today about the roof leaking (still) and the Tech (Matt) said and I quote " the moonroof leaks in all vibes. The engineers disigned it so under heavy rain or carwash, it will leak and drip into a gutter and be funneld out of the car" End quote.If anyone disagrees, heres...

vibe-anator

No, I did not mean to slam Canadians! I go to Canada a few times a year. great people, great land !I was basically being sarcastic about the GM tech and perhaps he should work in Canada since he seems to know about their laws.Tongue and cheek my friends, tounge and cheek.I was busy today, but I will...

vibe-anator

Yes,in Canada. So lets send the tech to Canada to work and he'll be right at home there!

I wasn't sure if that water dripping in on the rear corners was actually dripping into sometype of water gutter that directed the water down a tube.It is the sam exact porblem you have (water dripping in rear corners)

vibe-anator

I notice that when I go through a car wash that I can see water dripping inside on the corners of the moonroof. I took it in for what I thought is a leak, they had it over night and said they put sealer on it and fixed a kink'd drain hose.It still leaks water inside, is this normal? is it designed t...

Right after I read this post,I went out and adjusted the lights in about 60 seconds! seriously ! You guys explained it very well.I had the vibe in for a leaky sunroof, and ask them to adjust the lights while they had it.I said in another post that, YES I am going to go down and take the tech that sa...

Adjustment for headlights?? Uhmm, excuse me, but I just took my 05 vibe to Todd Wenzel Pontiac and told them I wanted my headlights adjusted up a little because on low beam at 50 ft out its completely dark! If a deer was crossing I never would see it until its too late.Anyway, I went to pick up the ...

I took off the end caps to install my roof crossrails. Now they don't fit as snug. Anyone else have this problem?

vibe-anator

I too am thinking of hauling a canoe, however I am looking at a 14' canoe. I need to put a hitch on so I thinking of using a verticle canoe support bracket that goes into the hitch and up to support the back of the canoe. This helps eleminate tie downs inthe back and gives extra support.I friend tol...

vibe-anator

Well, I just put the crossrails on. Your right, hooriable cracking sound to get them off!Infact one of them did crack the little bracket inside where the yellow plastic button goes into.NOW, I don't like the fact the the end caps DO NOT fit snug like before I took them off! (yes, I realize maybe the...

vibe-anator

I just picked up a pair of used crossrails from someone. How do they mount into the rack? do the end caps pop off?If so, any speacial way to ge them off?Thanks

vibe-anator

I have a month old 05' I noticed the alumin. luggage racks have streaks in them like if they are oxidizing. Perhaps its from the soap at car washes? Anyone else seeing this problem? I am going to get some Alumin. cleaner and see If I can remove the streaks.

vibe-anator

does anyone have a good pic of a vibe w/ the clear bra they can post? I am considering getting it.

vibe-anator

I visited the pontiac dealer today. They checked for a 05' bra. They say it doesn't exsist yet. The part # you listed is infact for the 04'Guess I will have to wait a few months for 05' parts to come out.

"no way the car would be able to supply good heat in 15 min"I live in Mich. and YES 15 min is long enough to get some heat.I'm not talking about heating a tent to 70 deg. for God's sake!The main reason is simply to take the edge off the cold.By the way. speaking of heat. My Vibes heater is...

vibe-anator

I see that Cableas has a SUV tent also. If you where really in need of heat, bring a flexible exhaust hose and hook up to tail pipe and run it off to the side away from tent (make sure you get a real good seal on that pipe, perhaps have a hose clamp on it) Have a remote starter and if you wake up in...

I'm having trouble finding a web site with ALL factory accessories available. I even called GM, no luck. This like, crossrails(for luggage rack) of 05' I know the older years will fit, BUT why doesn't GM's Vibe accessory page show them? If they aren'y going to make them standard issue, then it shoul...

vibe-anator

Just wondered if anyone happen to get the cross rails on their roof rack from the factory?I "think" the cross rails are a option because my car didn't have them and the dealer said it was a accessory, But I have seen them on some other vibes that the driver had no idea why they are on the ...

Congrats on the new Vibe! I just bought one (same color,moon&toons)I do alot of night time driving on the highway and I'm seriously considering buying a "LaBra" for mine just to prevent cleaning thousands of bugs off during the summer months.Anyone use a La Bra on theres?

My truck gets 10 mpg and while I was at the dealer getting the Vibe the gas prices went up another 10 cents here ($2.35/gal)I'm lookng forward to the savings

vibe-anator

Thanks all.I do have some questions about my vibe hopefully someone here can help me with.1) The low beam headlights I feel should be aimed a little higher. "about" 50 ft of the road is lit, but because of the way the lamps are designed its a very defined line between light and dark. Can I...

Today I picked up my New Vibe. Moon & Tunes, Power Group, 16" wheels. I opted for the two-tone because I live on a dirt road I am so sick and tired of the gas prices and decided to go w/ the Vibe.My main vehicle before this is a 2000 3/4 4x4 v10 that takes $70 to fill the tank! Now I can ta...
